MAKING A COAT.
Triirty-nine Cistinot Varieties of Work ,
by «.s Many Men.
Aceordincr to the T'nited States bu- i
reau of labor, Wie old '.saw "It takes |
nine tailors to make a man"' Is filled ;
with misinformation, for in reality, 1
the bureau tlnds. it takes thirty-nine I
men of different trades just to make a !
coat under the present system of shop \
manufacture, for the,day when one
tailor measured the customer, cut out '
the c ! otU and, with his apprentices,
r.liaped It luto a finished and pressed
garment has practically passed. To
day all oue tailor may do through his
entire life is to mark the place where j
buttons are to be sewed on. Another j
man never marks places for buttons, j
Ilis specialty is to mark buttonholes, i
A t\l.'d man spends the long day In
sewing on buttons, a fourth In male- j
itig buttonholes. Men who sew sleeves j
do not make arm holes. The armhole
men give place to shoulder shapers,
and these last do not touch collars,
which are a distinct, specialty. Even
the men who manipulate the tailor's j
go • e are divided into pressers of
tea 's, edges, linings, sleeves and coat
probers. The basters stick to one dis- !
tint specialty of bastiug, and a sep- \
urate furviionary, the basting puller,
undoes their work. Even the coat
■ iran is a separate province. So that
when the coat Is finished It represents
thhiy-nlne distinct varieties of work
by as muuy men. And when a man
finally puts ou the coat Ue is wearing
the product of 312 fingers and seventy
eight thumbs, not counting the digits
of those who shenred the sheep, wove
t;> ■ cloth, dyed it. finished It, shipped
i.and cut It nor the iuk stained clerical
hands which kept a book record of all
- processes. Probably from sheep
:•> wearer the coat was handled by at
least 3,000 Augers.—New York Tribune.
NATIONAL GRANGE.
\nmij«l Adtlrec? of Worthy Master
3ucU«l<lci—-Total Asset* of the Or
ganization Now Amount to $102,921.
In his address to the national grange
at its opening session In Hartford,
Conn., on Nov. 13 National Master N.
J. UaeheWler said that the ruemljershlp
of the grange throughout the country
has made a net increase of 8 per cent
for the past year, which is larger than
for over thirty yearn past. The tiuau-
I-IMI condition of the Order Is good.
The total assets of the national grange
a year ago were $94,07101 and <>u Oct.
1. 1607, $102,021.44, which is a net gain
of $8,249.50. Although the work of
organization has been more than.usu-
Rlly successful, the Order should be
ttiil further built up In the states of
the central west.
Speaking of-the importance of,agri
culture, the national master said .that
the whole total volume of the crops
may be slightly less than the crops of
1 but their cash farm value will be
greater. The farm products In their
original form or in the form of cattle,
sliecp, hogs and horses have overflowed
the great grauurtes, clogged transpor
tation facilities and brought gold from
foreign countries. These facts warrant
the statemeut that agriculture Is not
only the great industry of the country,
but the most important In the nation's
Industrial prosperity. Agriculture pros
pers not because other Industries pros
per, but other industries prosper be
cause agriculture prospers. The pro
motion of agriculture embodies the
highest type of statesmanship. It Is
eminently proper to Inquire the effect
of all proposed public policies upon
agriculture when under consideration
In any legislative body.
On the subject of grange mutual life
Insurance the worthy master had this
to say:- "There has been a demand for
several years for some form of frater
nal life Insurance within the organiza
tion to cover the national field as local
companies cover certain sta teg. Sound,
reliable, full legal reserve life Insur
ance furnished by a society and con
trolled by Its own members, operated
>a the fraternal system, with the otfl
•ers directly responsible to the mem
bers, is the foundation to bnitd upon.
What Is wanted is the best at the
cheapest price-not cheap life insur
ance, but good life insurance cheap."
Concerning-the publication of the na
tional grange paper the speaker, re
marked that the executive committee
had made arrangements for the pub
lication of a weekly journal upon
terms acceptable to the masters of the
state granges. He emphasized the fact
that Its publication -will not come In
competition with agricultural papers.
Its editorial policy will be dictated
solely by a desire to promote the or
guui.:atlon.' It la to be the official or
gan of the grange.
Of the denatured alcohol law, which
took effect Jan 1, 1907, the national
ma-ter said that the comparatively
small oousuruptlon of denatured alco
hol during the past six months had
been chiefly due to the fact that our
manufacturers were not read»v to fur
nlsli the alcohol using apparatus, such
as sf-oves, lamps, etc. None being on
sale in this country, there wis no de
mand for the alcohol. The question of
utilizing alcohol as a fuel for motor
vehicles, boats and farm engines lb
engaging the attention of manufactur
ers, and it is believed'that this alcohol
will be made available as a
motor fuel, iy.the near .future.

legislative committee has given close
attention to this work and believ.es that
the time bus arrivel when the move
ment should be prosecuted 'vigorously
v It'u the'view of securing legislation at
the present session of cougress.
On trusts and the tariff it -was re
marked that tile present tariff rates ou
articles produced by trusts are much
higher than is necessary to cover the
difference in labor cost as between
home and foreign manufacturers and
that material reduction* could be made
on the duly of such articles arid amply
pro-. Ule for liberal wages compared
wkh the wages abroad. If these crltl- ■
risnis are well founded there would
seem to be good reasons for legislation
that will correct the evident defects ou
the present tariff schedules without In
juriously affecting our agricultural or
manufacturing Industries. These facts
can best be secured through a non
partisan tariff commission whose duty
it shall be to examine carefully Into all
phases of the subject. This commis
sion should Include representatives of
the agricultural, labor, manufacturing,
transportation and commercial inter
ests.
Ou the parcels post question the na
tional master remarked that the postal
reform had received a new Impetus
within the past few months, owlug to
the fact that it had a powerful advo
cate in the new postmaster general.
Mr. Meyer, who had indorsed what to
til iuteuts and purposes Is the grange
plan and who is using his influence to
arouse public interest in its support.
He advised an active campaign lu con
gress on this subject.
Th« address also favored postal sav
ings bauks. currency reform and pure
food legislation. -
