stricken foot traveller. whose railway
ticket was good on all country roads
and cattle paths, stopped at small
mansion of apparently fonr rooms and
a kitchen. in the South Hill suburbs,
the other evening, to beg nights
lodging. AS he stood timidly knock

the shrill commanding tones of the
lady of the house, disposing the gar

To the Pc pie of the United tate :

Owing to the pressing demands from
all parts of the country for the i'm
mediate organization of the National
party, the executive committee of the
National party of the United States
has adopted the following means of
action. out of which it is believed will
grow Il perfect AMI uniformed
organization of the party in the diff
ferent states.
Upon the application of ten or more
voters who have organized u council
OF the National party in any locality,
and elected officers consisting of a
chief vice chief. scribe ami Il
treasurer, and reported the state.
postoifice. township and county. or
city and ward. in which it is organized
together with the names of the said
officers, the national committee will
issue TO snch organization an engraved
charter emhlematie OF the principles
and objects Of the National party. and
constitution and directions for the
organization and government of the
council. Each application must be
accompanied by the sum of one dollar.
This sum will cover the expense of
issuing the charter. and will secure To
each council the privilege of obtaining
printed documents. badges. campaign
song books anu other campaign goods
from the national committee at cost.
or As near cost us practicable.
The national committee will also
issue charters to young men seogncils.
TO consist of youths under age. upon
the same terms and with like
privileges to those granted to the
councils of voters. The object of the
+, formation OF young mems councils is
to inspire the youths of the country
with realization of the great strug-
gle upon which the nation has now
entered. and to educate them in the
vital questions of political economy
and good government.

AMERICAN TRADE WITH ITALY

A scheme is on foot to establish a.
society for the promotion of Amerl-
can trade with Italy. 1t is claimed.
by the projectors that many OF the
native products of the United States,
which are now comparatively I'M
known in Italy. could be sold in that.
country at profit to American sell
ers and at saving to the Italian
buyers. It is claimed also that many
Of the products could be imported
into America much cheaper than they
are now imported from other coun-
tries of Europe. This is said to be
especially true. on the one hand, OF
American cottons, and on the other
of Italian silks, gloves, and laces. Mr..
G. Fontana. who recently visited
Italy in the interests of this scheme,
said lately to a World reporter: 1.-The
Americans can send cottons, bleached
and unbleached. to Italy and under
sell the English cottons and surpasS
them in quality. At present the
American goods resalmOst unknown
in Italy. The Italians can send to
America direct their Como silks,
which are now sent to Lyons first and
then sold to America for Lyons silk.
They can send also the finest
velvets, cheaper than the velvets
now imported from France, and they
can furnish the handsomest Venetian.
laces, for the lace industry of Italy
! is now reviving. The same thing is
true Of kid gloves, which are made
as good as in France. M. Fontana
added that u large number of gloves.
sold in New York for French gloves
are really goods sent out here without
being stamped, and stamped here
with the names Of French mannfac-
turers. He mentioned one New York
house which last year sold $4,000
dozen Of these goods, and another
which sold 10000 dozen. The goods
can be brought from Italy, duty paid,
for $8 dozen, and they sell here
wholesale at 50 to $40 a Dozen

The National committee will pub
lish promptly q campaign song book.
and it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music, or should be set

that this crisis should bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly. and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
success in a city, or town, or town.

to more important victories. The re-
cent gratifying successes of the Ma
tional party in local contests in New
York and Pennsylvania are encour-
aging to the workers in the cause

may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and Jealous work.

that Greenback and Labor local or
