{in \v ' can determine rigarnlent would give a greater UUL IS BY ALFRED EANSELL, or SEREWSBURY, ENG. Objections to Legislation for Pro- tection to Wool Grow- ers, The objections to the proposed Government Bill are rather strongly put by the Textile World, a. paper judging from its name, which has its sympathies mainly with the manufacturers. They state that if the bill becomes law no fabric con- taining the slightest proportion of Wool will come into the United States, for there is no method known to man of determining how much of the wool in a fabric has been and how much has not been subjected to a manufacturing pro- cess before it reached the mill where lt was last converted into cloth. This. I am informed, is incorrect. The Bradford Conditioning House what any fabric is made of by actual percentages. “ It is stated that the custom House oflicials can distinguish cotton, lin- en, silk, and certain other fibres from W001 and woollen shoddy; but. they will be forced either to refuse admission to the goods or accept the statement of the importer as to how much wool shoddy there is in the cloth. ' THE NEXT OBJECTION has reference to the enactment that all goods manufactured prior to the passage of the Act, and which had passed out of the hands of the man- hfacturer and the ingredients of which are not known, shall be label- led "Manufactured prior to the Pure Fibre Act; composition not knOWn.” The article in question contends ' that the manufactured goods thus placed under a ban would approach In value $850,000,000, and by label~ ling them they Would be cast under suspicion regardless of merit. This, I take it, could be minim- ized to a great extent by postponing the bill coming into operation until a year or so had elapsed from its becoming law. ‘ When margarine Was sold as but- ter a great hue and cry was raised, and rightly so, because the fat of an mark that Great Britain,s power 13 0X Was being 50m 1‘5 the Fromm: 0f Ion the wane, that her trade is de~ the cow, and now, forsooth, because a. simple microscopic examination ,(as is the case with margarine) will not disclose the fraud, we are told in ,‘t’his article that no attempt must be made to protect the public and ensure their being able to purchase a. pure woollen garment. Difficul- ties were made to be overcome, and We should not be content to sit down and take it as an accepted fact’that there this problem. , ’ Another difficulty that the writers see is that honest manufacturers of goods containing 90 per cent. of Wool Would tag them as mixed or shoddy goods, whilst the dishonest manufacturer of goods containing 90 per cent. of shoddy would tag them as all wool. This difliculty may arise, but I am under the im- pression that to work up 90 per cent. of shoddy a considerable amount of cotton must be used, and the dishonest manufacturer would probably find himself ‘ MULCTED IN "A‘Iâ€"IEAVY FJNEI i As before stated, undoubtedly some shoddy is far better, and would make a better cloth than some sorts of foreign, lowâ€"grade Kempy wool, but these alone, and not adulteratâ€" ed, would not make a cloth to de- ceive anyone, and therefore would not. compete with any except the adulteratcd goods. That there are many difficulties in Ithc way of getting practical legislaâ€" tion on the subject cannotbe de- nied, but the importance of promot- ing honesty amongst manufacturers and protecting the people from imâ€" position demands the serious attenâ€"' tion of the Legislature of all civilâ€"- ized countries, because, as a matter -of fact, it really concerns the masses of the people more than the sheep men who are directly interestâ€" ed, because under present conditions all the poorer classes are entirely 'clad in the adulteratcd goods. There can be no question that the Imajority of men and women who go {into a shop to purchase woollen lgoods haVe no knowledge of the exâ€" ;tensive fraud daily perpetrated in 'fselling them goods largely composed |of substitutes for wool, and that 90 'per cent. of the buyers have no idea 3that when asking; for woollen goods rthey are too often purchasing an Larticlc from which raw wool is con- 25picuous by its absence. This presses heavily on the labor- ing and artisan classes, who practi- cally never get anything except soâ€" called cheap goods, but which would be more truthfully designated if callâ€" ed lowâ€"priced goods. It is contend- ed that even if the price were some- xWhat. enhanced, the genuine woollen com- fort and health, .wear much longer. ‘and in the end prove much more eco- nomical than adultm‘ated goods.

The Chinaman has no hearty bursts of laughter. He titters cynicallyâ€"tit- ters over the misfortune'of ran one. my or the elopement of the daugh- ter of a friend. He cannot laugh. When he is delighted, or amused, or happy, he just looks calm. The Frenchman has a reserved laugh, one which he holds well in hand; Be- ing a great stickler for dignity, he is afraid. that a loud and honest laugh would injure his deportment, would demean him in the eyes of the world. You will not hear much male laughter in Paris, though it is true that the women there have a cultivated, musical ‘haâ€"haâ€"ha,’ that they use in cafes when they wish to attract somebody's attention. The German’s laugh is cavernous. It Comes from far down somewhere in his stomach. The laugh of the Irishman is, upon the contrary, ra- ther soprano; not a stomach laugh, not even a. chest laugh, but a head one. The English and the Ameri- cans laugh the best. Their mirth is so naturally and heartin and musi- cally expressed that you cannot but rejoice on hearing it.” ' PROPH-ETS OF EVIL. Somebody is always rising to reâ€" ‘clining, her army in a state of weak- ncss,her navy a hollow sham. The oldest inhabitant cannot remember a time when prophets of evil were not lholding forth on these themes. But somehow G reat Britain pulls through. This kind of talk was very common during the Boer war. The press of France, Germany, and the ‘United States made no concealment *of lhe belief that John Bull was getâ€" ting wounds that would prove fatal aftera lingering illness. But these ievil predictions have not come true. {It may be that the critics at homel who raise alarms about British trade] land the state of the navy, serve a1 i-good purpose in keeping the nation? lap to the mark. These critics must] ibe useful or tolerated, for they contribute noâ€" thing to the pleasures of life.
