The following communication, taken
from the Every kYening, should. but u
d not supposed will be, satisfactory 70
eVen "Dtmocratle Glasses, and con
vince him that he has been meddling
with something that be knows nothing
about, for the purpose Of making polih-
zeal capital against Mr.. Treat;
Tie undersigned, employees Of MI.
IChnrlee II. Treat Ut his iaciorieh and etore
IN Georgetown, desire TO denounce -
false and base the charges made under
1.-The caption OF "Mr. Treats Traitd," over
the signature "A LAboriug Nan, In The
EVery Evening Of wednesday, OctebeI

lealled, and we unite In aekirg the paper
which gave publicity ~ thoae fA.to state
Emeuis 70 inert this protest from true
taboring men.
We believe that those charges wers
made for political effect and as true men
Representing both political parties, q
large IN jolity Of Us being Democrau,
we fesl that we should do our employer
injustice and ourtelses = greater iniaA-
tice aud wrong did we mot denounce
chem a. fslse-campaign lies put forth
to iUjuFe man for politiesl purposes.
This statement Is made BY US volun.
tarily, without the knowledge Of Mr..
Treat aud In his absence.
Flst-Mr Treats order system IL per-
iectiy satisfactory TO Us, ae through IL
40 receive our pay regularly every week
and BY II o. many OF US 40 have wished
have been able 10 furnish our homes on
the instalment plan, and that ithout o.
centa additional cost for the credit given.
Part OF our pay Is received 10 cash and
part Ia orders en- the store, but there isI
not q man among us who mas not received
of Mr.. Treat cash on bis ordeB when be
has requested It. As q matter Of fact
theirs are those among us who have left
o. her employment, notably the railroad,
for MIR. Treats factory, because under his
systt m Il has been 70 the advAnta g Of
such do 80.
socond-we say that the claim that
more Is charged employees for goods
than Ia charged other people Is false.
and his clerks in his store testify TO the
baseress Of that declaration BY signi5ing
this protest
Third This charge Is . base, unmltl
gated lie, like the others. We baveI
known Mr.. Treat, when disappointed in
rece wing an invoice OF expected and
peaded goods, 70 10 to the other mer-
chants ia town and purchase Of them 10
order 90 accommodate his employees and
other customers
Fourth--The tenor Of this charge is|
ABSOLUTELY falee. Mr. Treat'a orders are
never offered in this town upon sueh
terms, and only q man who would pawn
his coat or shoes TO finish "a glorious
drunk" would discount Mr.. Trtat's
orders In any such way.
Fifth--1he reply 10 the fourth Is fulll
answer 10 this.
slxth--It 10 fake that Mr.. Treat has
for political reasons, q work.
man lately In bis employ This work
man was not employed BY Mr.. Treat, but
BY one Of his IoTemen on contract work,
and this same workman has, 10 our
knowledge, declared his intention to I
leave the factory several times, and has
done 90 recently, looking Tor x Job else /
where, and, moreover, he Il understood
10 have been very inefficient workman
In his position.
seventh-1h's charge T., II possible,
more base than the Cthers Instead of
The workman referred TO above ms being
discharged because he persisted In voting
he Democratic ticket We understand
hat said workman had declared his IN
ientiOn Of voting for Ar Treat. The
;harge that mir Treat has personally %.
icited US 10 vote for him Is basely false.
he has not spoken one word 10 US about
POLITICAL matters or voting fer or against
my man.
kighth The only az reigners" Mr..
Treat mas IN his employ are Amerlean
iiizens, possessed OF tue right OF suffrage.
rbe only men In the factory guilty Of the
Ugh crime Of having been born outside
his county, and consequently dubbed
'ioreignere," are and have been Demo

hat any persona ever employed IN these
actories "came directly from Castle
