To the Members OF WOman's Christian
Temperance Unions.

DEAR SISTERS: On bel a'f of Our
Union, the official organ of the Nation
al w. G. T. u, we appeal to you for
your interest and aid. The continued
increase in the price of paper, which
more or less has affected all publishing
interests, is keenly felt by the publish
ers of Our Union. The summer months
are at hand, when our workers relax
their efforts, and subscriptions are slow
in coming in. Yet the current expenses
Without your aid it will bc impossible
to do this; for, although the labors and
efforts of those having the paper in
charge are unceasing, the assistance
which they so greatly need can come
alone from You. We therefore earnest
ly request that personal influence and
personal effort be used in obtaining
subscribers. If you can send but one
subscription, please be sure and send
that one.
Our paper is the great bond of union
in our work; il is the outcome of faith
and prayer, and is essentially the tenn
perance women's own paper, With no
capital but that with which your low
ing efforts have endowed it, it has with
stood many n financial strain.
Trusting that this appeal will not be
made in vain, and that the hearts of
editors and publishers will be tighten
ed by the encouragement and assist
ance rendered by you, we are yours,
in Christian love and labor,
FRANCES T.. WILLARD, President.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that State may
constitutionally pass law requiring
call peddlers of sewing machines and
selling by sample" to pay specified
license. Such statute had been passed
by the Legislature of Tennessee, and in
accordance with it tax of fifteen dollars
was imposed on the agent of the Howe
Sewing Machine company, which is a
corporation OF Connecticut, and makes
its machines in that State. The COM
pany paid the tax under protest, and
went to law to test the constitutionality
of the statute. The supreme court OF
- Tennessee held that the tax was levied
on all peddlers of sewing machines
alike, without regard to the place where
the machines or their materials were
made or produced, and that, therefore,
the law was valid. This decision is
sustained by the United States supreme
court.
