unstinted praise. The first and longest
story deals with the young girls in two
families OF different social standings, who
are spending the summer in cottages near
Newport, and in whom the reader becomes
very much interested, and from whom one
learns the beauty of truth, honor and good
breeding. The other stories teach about
the same lesson without any attempt at
moralizing or preaching, and all are brig hit
ana wholesome in influence and altogeth-
er such as one rejoices to see in the hands
Of girls in their teens.

Scarcely any article affected by the
Mckinley tariff act Of 1890 Afforded
creator opportunity for Democratic mis-
repre-. entation than pearl buttons. They
are extensively used by the women Of
tho country, and systematic attempt
was made to convince the women that
they would have to pay two or three.
times as much forthese buttons because
OF tho Mckinley bill.
Some years ago tho manufacture OF
pearl buttons was carried on quite eX-
tensiyely in the United States. But the
Austrian government began their pro-
duction BY convict labor, and the tree
labor OF this country could not com.
pete with tho Austrian convicts. The
result was tho closing up of the Ameri.
can manufactures, and the control OF
tho mako. here BY Austrian prison
labor contractors. The Mckinley bill
raised tho tariff on these buttons, and
Democratic clamor led merchants to
put up the retail prices, though the
buttons were imported ct the old rates.
Long enough time now has elapsed,
however, to judge Of the effect Of the
new Inv on this industry.
In 1889 there were eleven establish
mcnts making pearl buttons in the
United States. At the present time
there are between twenty-five and
eighty firms engaged in the business.
Prior to the passage Of the Mckinley
act there were less than 400 persons em-
ployed in the industry in the United
States, and the wages averaged from 50
to Sl2 q week, rs only partial employ
inent was given. Now there are 1000
persous employed in this business. and
the wages average from $l6 70 S94 a
week. In regard to the question OF
prices Mr.. Thomas A. Webb, one Of the
pioneers in the industry Of Newark, gives
