Want a Foreign Market.

A committee representing the Boston Boot and Shoe Club and the New England Shoe and Leather Association waited on the President and Secretary Blaine recently, and presented a series of resolutions by their associations Indorsing the administration’s reciprocity policy, and urging its extension to their own industry. The boot and shoe manufacturers are evidently finding out that tho home market is not big enough alter all. Our tanning and leather industries have had free raw material for nearly twenty year's, ajtd their development has been constant ever since. Our exports of leather and manufactures thereof have increased very rapidly, reaching $12,275,000 last year. If tne leather industries have profited so greatly with free raw materials, why could not the woolen Industry?
