The Fashion Climax and a Return to Biblical Dress
An essay argues fashion has peaked and will rapidly reverse toward minimalist, biblical attire. It mocks excess clothing and buttons, cites historical figures like Darius and Washington, and predicts sandals, a toga, and straw hats as future staples. It frames cultural change as a shift toward simplicity and humorously notes personal wearing of a toga next week.

Reciprocity With Brazil Under McKinley Tariff Fails Trade Test
The article critiques the Brazil reciprocity treaty after 20 months, noting U S exports to Brazil total $22.38 million while imports from Brazil surge to $204.8 million, a stark imbalance. It argues the McKinley tariff raises production costs and Brazil seeks other markets, leaving reciprocal benefits minimal and the treaty effectively a dead letter.
