The National Platform.


EplroRs CLARION: The National Platform
adopted at Toledo. February -, lS7S''-which
has been given to the country a basis Tor
an independent movement in the interest
Of the toiing masses, is remarkable Tor
the truths set forth ia its preamble, but in the
remedies suggested by the resolutions-iegal
restraint on Railroad eNtortou. and repeal OF
National Bank special privileges are conspicu-
ouSly absent.
What l. to be done with these great priyil-
eyed monopolist the machines by which the
Money Power" holds all the industrial
Interests sub,ervicnt to it2 Why is thai
platform silent as TO this root, OF all the
evils recited in its preamble? The reason
must be one of two facts, viz Those who orig
mated the platform did not understand the
logic Of cause and effect, or the omission was
intentional and they got ii up in the interest
Of the Republican party and its client and mas
ter the Money Power, for the purpose OF
distracting the attention of the suffering masses
from the true cause OF the evils complained OF,
and dividing them on false issues into new
parties 10 prevent them from making that
united and irresistible demand for redress.
that seeks the removal of the real basis ot
their wroug- which the monopOllstS fear, and
know they cannot prevent II the people are
united against them The lst Resolution says
-"* The circulating medium,
whether Of metal or paper, shall be issued by
fhe Government and made full legal tender
Tor all debts duties and taxes in the tHted
States Al lis stamped value
What Is 70 be It's value outside Of the United
States is an equally important consideration,
which the platform does not provide tor-but
leaves people subject 10 the Money Power
on all business transactions connected with
and dependent on foreign commerce, and m
tertourse. in which the interests OF both pro
ducers and consumers are so directly involved
For the power which this omission leaves to
money capital in regulating the exchanges
with foreign countries would enable the Money
Power to dictate the home value OF both eN-
ports and imports, 10 its especial advantage
through the control it would have over the
relative value OF our currency, and the money
of the WORLD.
il would be Il very green head party, that
under this state of affairs, could expect To APP
proximate a realization of the antagonlstc
promises held out by the 10th resolution. The
platform Is Objectionable in other OF its lea
lures, but enough is pointed ont IN the tore
going view of it, omissions and propositions
10 prove that it is totally unfit to be relied on
for the redress of the grievances under when
the people suffering. u

History of the Corset.

London City Journal
The corset bad is origin in Italy. and
was introduced from the country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diane Poitiers did not, how
ever, follow the fashion, but it was adj
mitted by all the ladies Of the French
court that it was indispensable to the
beauty Of the female figure, and it was,
therefore adopted by them. The corset
was in those days IN its infancy, and it
assumed more Of the rough character Of
a knights cuirass. The frame was en-
tirely Of iron, and the velvet which dec
Grated the exterior hid frightful and
cumbersome machine. This state Of
things, so detrimental To health and the
cause Of 50 much personal Inconvenience,
not to say torture, could not last long.
and the artisans Of those days oOntrived
to give more pliablity and lightness to
the metal, and prepared the way by de
grees for Whalebone. But as reforms
are always slow, the cold iron continued
TO clasp the warm hearts Of the fair
wearers for a long time in its embrace,
and even contrives to the present day,
under the name Of base-and who can
blame its pertinacity? The corset found
favor in the eyes Of Louis XIV. In the
following reign the corset was threaten
ed with Punishment from the toilet.
Fashion took a rural and simple turn,
and was almost guided by the taste Of
Boucher, in whose picturers many of
the court celebrities figure as shepherd
esses, But the painter departed, and
fashion returned to the prim eceentri-
cities Of the former times. During the
revolution the corsets were again for
gotten, and under the directory il was
completely interdicted by the fashiona-
bic world, The bellies Of the day took
classic turn, Roman dress-the toga.
sandal, &c. The empire dethr0ned the
classic fashion, but without tax
ing the corset in favor High waists
were in favor. and la mode revealed a
taste certainly the reverse of prudery
With the fall Of empire fell also the
waist, and then came, also, as a necessi-
ty, the return 20 the corset.

LATEST FASHIONS.
Revival of the Pampadour and Marie
Antoinette Styles.
From Harper's Bazar.l
MARIE ANTOINETTE STYLES.

From Harpers Bazar.l
MARIE ANTOINETTE STYLES.
The revival Of Pampadour and Ma
rie Antoinette styles is the most nota-
BILE feature of the display at the ''open-
ings' at fashionable modistes' and fur
nishing houses. The panier drapery,
which is the distinguishing character
istic of these styles, is seen ON the rich
est trained dresses for receptions and
dinners, and on toilets of simpler fabrics
for carriage, visiting and house dresses.
This bouffant draping is the reaction
that follows the too clinging princesse
dress. and is formed by scarfs or short
upper skirts laid in soft plaits that curve
away from the front of the figure over
the hips, and are lost in the punched
up drapery of the back breadths. The
regular panler pouf across the back Is
also seen, but at present the preference
is given to the full scarfs on the hips
and flowing drapery at the back. In
some instances the foundations of the
dress remains in princesse shape-that
is, with waist and skirt in one piece
but the newest evening dresses have
separate cOrsages with trimmed trained
skirts. When this corsage is low in the
neck it has very few seams, vet fits as
smoothly "a a corset. There is a seam
down the middle of the front, one dart
on each side of it, an under-arm seam,
and side form. The front and back
are sharply pointed, or else they are
smooth over the hips like a cuirass.
The neck is round or square, and s
surrounded with soft tuIle pufings,
plaitings Of lace, that seem intended to
fill up the waist to a proper height the
sleeve is the merest band. When the
corsage is high, the front is cut surplice
or else square, and the transparent
sleeves reach to the elbow. Sometimes
the corsage takes more genuine basque
shape, and in many instances it is ex-
tended so far over the hips that the
edges are caught up in curved plaits to
drape the hips en- paaier. Below the
scarf on the hips a second curved dra
perry is formed on the front and side
cores, and in many dresses three scarfs
are used.

A BOYS Prayer Answered.

The Noroja VreB.ja tells the following
touching story about most eXtraordi
nary letter which recently was delivered
or about to be delivered into the St.
Petersburg mail An imperial officer, at
the lower end of the ladder, died sud
denly and left his wife and three chill
dren entirely unprovided for After the
lapse of couple of months all the fur
niture and clothes of the family had
gone TO the pawnbrOker's shop, and moth
ing was left but cold, starvation, and an
unpaid rent bill In this misery the
eldest child, boy Of years, sat down
and wrote in secrecy the following letter:
My SWEET LoRD-Mother and my
and are very hungry. Won't you please
send me kopeks, that may buy bread
to them, and | shall pay back the mon
ey when | grow bigger Yours truly.
With this letter, which was addressed
to q God in the High Heavens" the boy
ran TO the nearest station, but being I'M
able to reach the box and slip down the
letter, he asked gentleman who stood
beside him to help him. The gentle
man, who happened to be the parson of
the parish, caught sight of the address,
and opened the letter and read it. He
then accompanied the boy home, provi-
ded for the immediate needs of the fami-
", and next Sunday, having told the
story in the church, he made hand
some collection of 800 rubles among
the congregation for the widow and her
children.

SILENCE

Silence has set her finger with deep touch
Upon creations brow. Like a young wife,
the moon
Lifts up Nights curtains, and with countenanee
mild
Smiles on the beauteous earth-her sleeping
child.
For joy the wild flowers weep. Soft incense,
such As steals from herbs midst pleasant
fields in June,
Freights the night air. Each lighr trees wav-
ing trees
l. edged with silver. Flocks lie motionless.
How sweet are hours spent in such scenes as
this,
When Peace looks down from Heaven in plain
tive mood.
And Earth, in deep tranquility Of bliss
Becomes a sutton to fair solitude
What noble actions spring 10 fruited prime
Spring from the seeds Thought sows in such n
time
