6 NIN MACHINES, of the Trade. = The Difference Between the Cost and Retail Prices. AN EXPERT'S VIEWS. The publication in these columns of the abuses and extortions to which poor women are subjected at the hands of sewing machine agents has elicited many letters from victims of the monopolists d Wrongs. It would appear from investigations made t a HERALD reporter that, apert from these specific eases of oppression, the whole public has been imposed upon for the past twenty years by manufacturers of sewing machines, inasmuch as the prices charged for their goods havo been and are out of all proportion with the cost of production; aud the whole system in its workings is one of the most oppressive monopolies the world ever saw. At tho present tim are lower, perhaps, than ever before, $65 is charged for a piece of mechanism which coste less than $15, The profit seems enormous, but that it 1s actually made will appear on a moment's consideration. The erage machine weighs, complete, some seventy five pounds. Subtract from this about fif pounds for the wooden table and there remains sixty pounds of iron. Pig iron bought in large quan- tines costs the companies about three and one-half sents per pound, so that the raw material in an entire machine costs but $2 10, ‘The cost of working the ailing their ve Hints Coneerning the Secret Workings | T cial | | | JULY 6, 1876—WITH SUPPLEMENT.

There is in Broadway a firm which deals in sewing Machine veedles, a chments, parts, and ‘findings’’ generally, They publish a price listof the different pieces that enter into a machine, and from that pap it 1s shown that a complete set of castings for the mo: popular machine in the market, and which sells for $65, can be bought perfectly finished ready to put together for the sum of $1150. Another proof of the extortion is foundin the fact tbat the sewing maching companies make ma- chines in this country, pay the expenses of shipping and freightage upon them to England, and there sell shem for less than one-half the price charged in the United States, A so-called “combination” machine, which costs here $80, is sold in nd for £6 10s., or about $32. for $60, can there be obtaimed for $22 Singer's fam- lly machine, which here costs $60, «s sold on the other Bide for $32. Now the agents who dispose of machines in Britain | mand as high a commission per cent—about the ay. area shrewd class aud ¢ as thirty-three and one-tht sage remuneration in this country—although some companies pay as high as itty per cent. Take away this amount from the $32, tor which our $55 machine is sold, and there remains about $21 in the hands of the manutacturer, out of which be must pay fretght- age ucross the sea, breakage and all other expenses, Yet there must at Wiat price be a profit in the trafic, or it would not . RESULTS OF EXTORTIONATE PRICES A careful examination of the whole business makes it clear that tho present system of manulacturing and selling is essentially ruinous to tue companies as well us oppressive to tLe purchasers; and that it will, if con- tinued, end nm the bankruptcy of every sewing machine Manutacturer in the land and the re-establishment of the eotire traffic upon a new and patural basis.

Many of tho more dis- | tiuguished patrons of the turf were present, and a fea- ture of the auction was the attendance of several ladies, the Marchioncss of Hastings and Lady West- d being of the number, Forty-one lots were ‘ed for sale, and they realized tho magnificent sum of $75,800, or an average of $1,850 each. Immediately after the Cobham yearlings had been disposed of a lot of six reared by Mr. R. H. Combe, of Pierrepont, near Guildiord, was offered and sold.

We have, when attending these meets, kept our readers posted up in the teams, and as few alterations had been made ia what we have before seen will only add, in the words of the old coaching song— 'Twas that cattle, such goers as Peyton ne'er held. , Were driven by whips, scarce by Beaufort excelled. As well as that— In this fam'd driving club It were endless to trace All the notable coachmen the ribbons who grace. For truly we could only catch a taco bere and there, so great was the crowd. One well known face at the covert side we must not miss, for Lord Coventry on Lord Lovdesborough’s drag, and the sight of him makes us think ofnis hound Roman, which did such good ser- vice, notwithstanding he was once pronounced “dig enough todraw a truck.” Lord Londesborough has his good looking black browns as usual, which appar- ently aro as well taken care of ua that wondertul Stick covert, for which the Holderness country is so much in- debted to him.

Among those prosent were the President, again driven by Lord Arthur Somerset; Captain Ashton, Lord Charles Beresford, Captain Charles Bill, Major Carlyon, Colonel E, Chaplin, Sir Talbot Clitford Con- stabie, Sir Bache Canard, Sir W.

Mr. Winthrop, Mr. Praed, Mr. J. ©, Reade, Mr, Alfred de Rothsculld, Mr. Le Gendre Starkie, Colonel Thorsby, Sir Fraucis Winning: ton, Mr. Joseph Carter Wood, &c. Several ladies were on the drags, which, for the most part, were well loaded, and we may remark among the passengers were some whom we were more accustoined to see handling the ribbons than merely looking on. There were plenty of people as usual to see the muster and start, and as the sun was by no means so hot as on the pre- vious day things went off even more pleasantly than ‘on that occasion: TO NEW ROCHELLE BY COACH. This afternoon, at a quarter to five, Mr. Delancey Kane makes his first trip from the Hote! Brunswick to New Rochelle. On the evening of the Fourth the coach went from Pelham to New Rochelle and started from there to New York at half-past seven yesterday morning. Colonel Kane describes the reception of the coach at New Rochelle as very ontbusiastic and states that every one at the Neptune House wanted to come to New York. Thi lant Colonel was forced to retuse a dozen or more ats for seats, as every feat in the coach was occupied, The new time table published by Colonel Kane makes the coach a thing of uulity as weil as of pleasure, for oven all those living on the line of the route ean commuto between New York their homes, Leaving New York at a quarter to five the conch will arrive at New Rochelle at a quarter to seven, passing on the way Harlem, Mott Haven, Fox Corners, Union Port, Westchester, Pelham Bridge, Bartow and Bolton Priory. a On this day’s trip from New York, Colonel Kane will carry thraggh to Pelham Mr, G, W. Inches and. party, Mr. Jame# Flint, Mr, [sein and party, Dr. a _ Gregory, Mr. C. F. Chickering, and Mr. Sturges. | Judg- ing from the registry book of the coach at the Calé Hranswick the coach will be well patronized for many weeks, and, if possible, the Now Rochelle route will be more popular than the shorter ove to Pelham Bridge, ATHLETIC SPORTS. PROGRAMME FOR THE INAUGURAL HANDICAP MEETING—THE EVENTS AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY. hur. A. Hl. Curtis, Secretary of the New York Athletic Club, has issued a programme for a handicap meeting, to take place at the club grounds on Saturday, July 29. This 1s an innovation thet will be hailed with delight by the athictes of the society, as it gives all comers a chance for the prize offered. Up to this time amateur taces have invariably been “level’ events, every per- former starting trom the scratch, and thus new men were called upon to meet those whom previous ex- perience had proved to be thoir superiors, Under thesy circumstances the former went into the games with defeat staring them in the face. or they withdrew at the last moment, preferring to remain unknown than start a certain loser. To all such, as well as the vest performers in the land, handicap events give a | jair show, and Mr. Curtis’ project therefore should be received with universal favor and meet with liberal encouragement. it's circular calling attention to the games 13 as follows: — .

In front of the New York Club a very beautiful cen- tennial decoration was a picture of Bartholdi’s groat statue of “Liberty illuminating the world,’? which is to be placed on Bedloe’s Islaud in theharbor. In the picture the cities of Now York and Brooklyn by night formed the background. From the head of the statue streamed forth bright rays, for the bronze Liberty statue is to be a lighthouse as well as a monument, dedi- cated by France to the spirit which has held the nation together for a century. A lime light from the Worth Monument illuminated the picture, Beneath the pic- ture were the following lines from a poem by Emile Augier, to which Gounod bas written the music:. Jai triomphe. J'ai cont ans, et on m’appell @; mais co vom c'est trop peu lant forte et bell corps de bronze et mon ame de fe: sla nuit sombre, ax kont alium: eau qui sombre Jumiere aux opprimes. TRANSLATION.

One of the beautiful features of the Centennial cele- bration is the universal outbarst of patriotic spirit as seen in the decorations, and this part of the display is nowhere more effectively exhibited than on the rail- ways, Locomotives are not often the subject of moch sentiment, but they drive across the country in these days looking like mighty nosegays: Smothered in hun- dreds of flags, 1n ribbons aud garlands and mottoes, they typily splendidly the great lesson of a hundred ears of freedoin mm the union of strength and beauty. Every locomotive on the Erie Railway was more or less decorated; but tho cap sheaf was put on by C. Fraser, the oldest'engineer on tho line, whose “iron horse”? seomed to be caparisoned in rainbows, BOSTON AND BUNTING, To tne Epiror or tre Heraup:. Your attention is called to a decision of Judge Par- menter, in the Boston Municipal Court, that an Ameri- can citizen cannot display the American flag more than tweive inches over the sidewalk upon the Centennial anniversary ot American Indepeudence without frst having obtained a permit from tho Board of Aldermon. The facts are these:—Mr. D. J. Atwood commenced to decorate his building on Thursday, Juno 29, in keeping with an honored custom. By the time he had got out nine flags, eighteen inches by twenty-four, the Captain of Station No. 4 ordered them in, the city ordinance prohibiting projecting signs more than twelvo incher r. Atwood refused to obey the order in si ilar language to that of Farragut when lashea to the mast, whereupon complaint was made, and Mr, Aiwood was taken before the Court and fined $10, Mr. Atwood then went to the Chief and Deputy Chiet of Police for permission to allow tis bunting to remain over the Fourth, He also applied to the Captain of Station 4, and was unable to even get the assurance that he would be unmolested. Therefore, Mr. Atwood felt compelled to take in the display be was making in honor of American freedom. Mr. Atwood is some- thing of a politician, anda Tilden and Hendricks sup- porter. A CITIZEN.

J., quarreiled over the result of p'tching pennies, when Halpin drew asmall pistol from his pocket and fired at Gaffuey. The pistoi was loaded to the muzzle with gravel, and the charge took effect in Gafney’s abdomen, tearing him so that the intestines protruded. The doctor in attendance says there 1s no hope of his recovery. Halpin surrendered himselt to the police yesterday, and is confined in the Union County Jai! awaiting the result, KILLED BY A PILOT. Patrick Kinney, of North Second street, Harrison, N. J., was killed at that place yesterday on the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.

RESUMED, Reopening of Stores, Marte and Exchanges. Industrial Activity After the Cen- tennial Holidays, ‘ING GENERALLY, PROSPECTS BRIGHTE oo The hurly burly of the great ‘Centennial festival ts over. The grand illumination that marks an epoch in the history of the Republic’s metropolis has flickered out, and tke great city once more resumes the even tenor of its course, For three days naught was con. Sidored but the great festival itself—the hundredth anniversary of the wedding of Columbia to Freedom, The merchant left his counting house, the artisan hia workshop, the sun embrowned laborer threw aside hia pick or hod and the pale faced sewing girl rested her tired hands and feet to do hon rto the occasion, Long in the memory of the citizens of New York will the glories of that memorable occasion linger, and perhaps our great-grandebildren when preparing for a similar colebration may read over with pride the records of that festival of Liberty ‘“‘one hundred years ago.” Amid all this rejoicing, all this thunder of cannon and clangor of bells, ali this marching !n gay panoply of war, all those brilliant emblems of peace, the glare of fireworks and waving of banners, the grand display of the master works of industry and the acclamations of an admiring world, there is a still, small voice that should enchain our attention before all others, BRIGHTER PROSPECTS. Beneath all this glittering display theme are many unpleasant features, many sources of misery and suffer. ing, many evils of jacalculable extent, which are per- mitted to defile the fair land of freedom, and which re, quire only a strong and carnest effort on the part of the poople themselves to remove. The stagaation of business which lasted so long that the people seom to find themselves wallowing in a Slough of Despond, with Giant Despair as their muster, is already beginning to give way before the genial rays of the sun of hopa The Centennial Fourth, while recalling the glories of the past, should also bring to the mind of every citizen the duties of the present. It is time to cast off the fettors of apathy, and to pat on the armor of energy aud will, The indomitable resolution, pluck and oster- rise that charact rise the American people avo been allowed to sicep too long; a mo favorabie opportunity fora thorough awakening cou'd not be selected. It saoula be our ambition to com- mence the second century of the Great Republic in a - rpirit worthy of those who gave us our country, ‘The barriers which have so long obstructed the paths of trade can be swept away by a combiued effort on the part of the people. Energy and will are wondertul workers, No Slough of Despond can resist them, When they take drm hoid of the American mind every ob- stacle vanishes. Why wot bring them into active operation now? ‘There is atone in those centennial bells, in those eloquent tongues of the past, that bid us be up and doing, and reproach us if we sit and Let their eloquence not be lost on those in whose hands the destinies of the second ceutury of freedom’s favored home are intru: RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS, Business was resumed in every part of the city yes- terday with earnestness and vigor. The decorations were still hung out on the outer walls, and the city-re- tained its gala appearance. From the Battery to Har- lem every place of business was open, and tne three days’ rest gave Iresh life to trade. Broadway, Sixth avenue nd the,Bowery, those busy hives of ndustry, were animated with a greater degree of bustle than any day preceding the Fourth, und beneath the trop- teal rays of tho sun and the myriad banners aid national devices = thousands of — custom- ers clustered around the busy marts of the city, Thero 1s a palpable brightening in the horizon of busi- ness Within the past fortnight, and now that each and every good citizen has expended his stock of efler. vescent patriotism to his heirt’s content during the past few days, bo returns to his work with renewed hope and choertulness. We may, perbaps, expect a flutter even in the imactive “street” where bulls and boars at present nod alike in the torrid heat, and corners are sought for their shado rather than their lucrative qualities, Commerce may s00n make her welcome presence feit on our rivers, and from railroad and stip the treasures of the nation ‘y pass through the metropolis, Tho region of the ‘‘swamp” will resound with the welcome bustle of awakened busimess, and our great vhoroughfare will assume its woi of gaicty and business. ‘there is a feeling of covile dence in the minds of the majority of business men that the latter half of the Centennial year will bring back former days of prosperity, and that the deadlock will soon be entirely broken, BUSY SCENES IN PUBLIC PLACES. ‘The vast army that turned out on Monday night to witness tho brilliant iliuminations, the colossal pro- cession and the fancifu! fireworks, and to hear the Natioval Anthem and the “cannon’s opening roar,’ has resolved itself into a host of busy worker: leido scopic in its variety, The iron doors and iron shattert of the huge wholesale house are thrown open and thé bookkeeper pores over his tomes and the clerk ar ranges his samples, forgettul of the oratory and pyro technics of the day ited rere In the recesses 0! the ary goods store the familiar sounds of **Are you waited on?’ and ‘€ash!” are heard again The hum of the sewing machine makes music on Union square, and girl, who bas bad three daysof rest from lier weary task, resumes it with a brighter eye and more elastic tread than ever before, The clothier has his hands full in attending to the wants of the sovkers after the lightest summer raiment, aod he declures that within the past two weeks he has done more business than during any previous summer for (he same period, On all sides the hum of reviving busiuess is heard and the faces of the capitalist and the workingman brighten at the prospect. There 1s a reasonable hope now that the extensive building operations which were brought to a standstill by the inexorable pressure of ‘hard umes” will be resumed on a larger scale than before. There is much to do to inake New York t beautiful metropolis she is destined to be, Many a plague spot must be removed and many a barren, sterile district must be subjected to the sway of enterprise, skill and baman crvilization before the very foundations of the temple of liberty on Manhat- tan Island may be considered as completely lati, be- fore New York shall attain the position to waich she is entitled, Every trade and every profession will now receive new life in this Centennial year, and the mem. ories of those who staked their lives upon the issue in the fight tor liberty will be an irresistible incentive to their descendanis to continues the good work they began and to bring back tbat prosperity which should never have been allowed to leave the country. In this resumption of business after the great celebration there is a greater degree of confidence and hope than the business world has experienced for a long time, THE EXCISE LAW.
