Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 25 October 1890 with a weekly Designing column. The column discusses how the McKinley Tariff affects textile design and suggests that British manufacturers move into finer figured worsted and mantle fabrics. It gives sett, colour and draft details for a plain and cassimere check in linen, a figured mantle cloth (Figure 27, Design 192), and five fancy tartan checks, including the Macduff or Fife tartan. The pages also carry an obituary of Joseph Cheshire, a St. Petersburg cotton spinner, a reader's letter on opportunities for flax and linen machinery in the United States, and the end of an item on Bengal silk.
