Gratis of the House by exhibiting SO suit of
clothes from the Boston clothing house of
Leopold Morse. The Boston Herald rushed to
the rescue of the free traders and after adding
81 to the price of the suit, said it was made of
shoddy that had been worn two or three
times. Now Congressman Leopold Morse has
been special favorite with the Herald, which
thus cast reelection upon his goods in its zeal
for free trade. Naturally correction followed
and the Herald quotes the correct price. and
says that this particular line of suitngs is made
from pure wool. How much has the Herald
made by this operation: Give the hen and a
