our people would have looked for the Inaugural
ton of self-denying comprehensive, fruitful
reform. Yet such Reform has there been in
augurated by a voluntary association Of Loyal
Women, pledged TO aid their country in the
present crisis by dscouraging the importation of
fabrics 20 be used as articles or materials Of
dress or personal ornament. Their pledge ia as
follows:
For three years or for the rar pledge ourslro 10
each other and The country to purchase no fmportd article
Of apparel"
Had this pledge been generally take' three
years ago, and lived up TO, the country would
have been far stronger and financially sounder
than it is to-day. Not less than One Kindred
Millions Of Dollars In Specie which have gone
abroad to pay for silks, laces, and miIo' "trip
perry, would have remained in the c'untry,
strengthening our currency and keeping down
the premium on Gold. That pledge, widely
taken and faithfully kept, would have Increased
the value of every soldiers pay, and Of course
added to the enjoyment and comfort of his
family. 1t is rather late to begin nowi yet we
