France, it is likely, could most advantageously pay us in silks for a portion of the large amount of cottons and hardware which we should sell to her; and though our silk manufacturers may now be able to compete advantageously, in some branches of the manufacture, with their French rivals, it by no means follows that they could do so when the efflux of money from France, and its influx into England, had lowered the price of silk goods in the French market, and increased all the expenses of production here.
Some were autobiographical, such as those of a trained nurse, a stenographer, a hardware clerk who had sat up late Sunday night to summarize what that sermon had meant to him, how a gray and hopeless existence had taken on a new colour.
By this means, what is called BLISTERED STEEL is produced, and it furnishes the material out of which razors, files, knives, swords, and various articles of hardware are manufactured.
"Heard the news?" he asked, leaning out over the dash-board of his buggy. "What news?" asked North. "Oh, I guess you haven't heard!" said the stranger. "Well, old man McBride, the hardware merchant, is dead! Murdered!" "Murdered!" cried North. "Yes, sir, murdered! They found him in his store this evening a little after six. No one knows who did it.
I thought they would shoot me; nothing of the kind they became almost sympathetic, and only asked how the man looked and which way he had gone. "Hardware store," I said, "around the corner." It was Saturday night when finally our train reached Tumen: a voyage of eleven days by rail, by snow sledge, by foot, and again by rail, was at an end. God! What a sojourn, what people, what disorder!
"When I'm dead," he answered, and wrenching loose he dived inside a hardware store, to purchase a hunting knife for Gettysburg, then went at once to a barber shop and shut out the torment of friends. He escaped at the rear, when his face had been groomed, and made his way unseen to Mrs. Dick's. Beth was not at home.
"'That might answer; but it's been used, already. "'Fiscal agent? "'The same objection. "'Mummy? "'The same. "'Cobbler? "'Good, but stale. "'Greaser? "'No' And Adams shook his head emphatically. "'Sam Weller? "'Been used already. "'Veto? "'That too. "'Hardware? "'Likewise. "'What do you think of Elevator? "'That might do; but still I can't exactly say that I like it.
But though this rise of price in a foreign commodity, may encourage domestic industry in one particular branch, it necessarily discourages that industry in almost every other. The dearer the Birmingham manufacturer buys his foreign wine, the cheaper he necessarily sells that part of his hardware with which, or, what comes to the same thing, with the price of which, he buys it.
What Port Said is now, San Francisco was then, only worse. For every crime that is committed in the dark alleys of the Suez port or the equally murky callejons of the pestholes of Mexico, four were committed in the beautiful Californian town when I first went there. Women as well as men carried "hardware" strapped outside, and scarcely one who had not at some time found this precaution useful.
"Advice is something I always ignore," he said, smiling. "Experience is my teacher." "Advice is cheaper than experience, and a whole lot easier to forget," she said. "My grandfather advised my father to stay in the hardware business out in Indiana. That was thirty years ago. And here we are to-day," she concluded, with a wide sweep of her hand that took in the forlorn landscape.
