SIR: With regret 1 notice an effort on the
part OF OF the press TO deprive the projected Ex
position at Philadelphia OF it's International character
Most OF the articles have read seek convey the idea
that as country, should disgrace ourselves by nm
attempt TO make international Exposition. Having
Just returned from twelve months tour through Eu.
rope can you that disgrace would be far
more complete If the Philadelphia affair we're made ex-
elusive only national in its character Long before
the close of the Exposition at Vienna, majority OF its
exhibitors made their arrangements to participate in
Centennial and In instances, my knowledge
goods shipped and route from different
parts OF Europe, consigned to the Centennial Commits
sion. know also OF a large quantity OF goods and
showcases in Germany packed and ready for shipment
to the same destination. Many members OF the differ
ent National Commissions to the Vienna Exposition AZ
we'll exhibitors there, have expressed 10 their in
ention OF taking part In our Centennial.
As early as October last Prince Bismarck Issued card
which elegraphed throughout the German States
calling upon the Germans participate ia Exposi.
1876, and at the time expression to the
opinion such exhibitions the promoters OF
industry and civzers OF the age the last Ameri-
exhibitor 20 leave Vienna and you that
the general feeling among the Austraus that they
had been advanced fully twenty-five years In arts aid
sciences by Exposition did Ia the least re-
gret their Increased deDt which IL had created Let us
by all means have the products Of the whole world
brought Ia Philadelphia In 1876, and be ;Augt lesson

gree OF credit. We have committed ourselves and
