YVe are much less generally Informed, though It Is an established fact, that during the same period the American people Imported unprecedented quantities of luxuries, very desirable but quite unnecessaty articles of use and adornment. Thus, coincident with our complaints about tlie coat of living, we bought abroad $40,000,000 worth of art works, $30,000,000 woith of diamonds, of laces and embroideries, worth of toys, and last but not least $32,000,000 worth of tobacco. As a whole the nation appears still to have wealth In abundance to purchase what the tteastiry department calls "articles of voluntary use." But when we speak of "the people" spending 840,000,000 a year for foreign art works it Is well to remember that the people are composed of a relatively small minority or our population. This same mental discrimination must be exerted In the matter of diamonds, laces and embroideries. It Is sIbo true that the majority of native Americans consums native tobacco, "Havana" being a Saturday night smoke for the mass of men.

Despite all this, however, It Is nice to know that America Is still a luxuriously wealthy country, even If the distribution of this wealth Is a little "lumpy" In place.
