Washington Letter.
{ From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington Aug. 5, '92.


The President is deeply interested in
the preparations that are being made
for the entertainment of the veterans
who will come to the G. A. L. encamp-
ment, and it is no secret that it was a
hint from him which caused the sudden
reyoking OF the order issued bv Col.
Ernest, Superintendent of Public
grounds and buildings, refusing to al
low the committee the use of the
white Lot for holding reunions dur
ing the encampment. No better indi-
cation of the warm feelings towards the
old soldiers held by the people of
Washington could have been given
than the wave of indignation that swept
over the community when the order
refusing the use of the white Lot
was made public. On all sides were
heard such remarks as "every foot of
ground in Washington belongs to these
men, bought by their blood on many
hard fought battle fields, and this absurd
order must be revoked" The order
was quickly revoked, and preparations
are merily going ahead to make the
coming encampment the grandcst affair
IN the history of the g. A. K.
rhe republican Senate, unlike the
democratic House, is fully alive to the
necessity of new Government Print
ing Office, and it has passed a resolu-
ton authorizing the committee on
Printing to sit during the ecess for the
purpose of taking testimony in regard
to the selection of q site upon which to

A Look at the Preamble of
THE Peoples Party"



We wish all the readers Of the HER.
AID would read again the preamble to
the platform of The Peoples Party. "
The first statement is I'VE meet in
the midst Of nation brought to the
verge of moral, political and material
ruin. Is it possible to state a greater
falsehood than that?
There is no nation on the face of the
earth where morality is more highly
respected or more generally practiced
than in our Republic. Anyone who
states that the people of the United
States, as a whole, lack moral concep-
tons and recttude Of character as COM
pared with the rest of the world, utters
a wicked lie. We are on 1.-THE verge
of political ruin" Taken as whole.
the administration of political affairs
in the United States is ON a higher
plane to day than in any other nation.
As a whole, the people are protected in
their life and property. Freedom of
thought, Of the press, OF individual
action, is no where more universally
established than in this Republic
We are on 1.-THE verge of material
ruin Labor is better paid in this
country than in any other place on the
face of the globe. The American peo-
pie are better fed. better clothed. better
housed and better educated than the
people of any other nation. We con-
sumo each year per capita more Of the
common necessities of life and enjoy
more of the Injuries than do the people
of any other nation. Business, as a
whole, Is prosperous. There never
has been time when labor was better
paid and when dollar had greater
purchasing power than now
In the face Of these well known facts
these calamity howlers'' publish to
the world burning slsnder upon their
own nation Corruption dominates
the baIlot-box, the Legislature, the
Congress, aud touches even the eremine
of the bench. The vast naiority of
the men. even in our State Legislatures,
as we'll as those in Congress, are up
right and honorable men The people
of the United States are not ''demoral-
lied. They are as upright. level
headed and honorable as can anywhere
be found on the face OF the earth.
The newspapers are not subsidized
or muzzled. The great majority are
independent, fearless and outspoken.
Public opinion silenced :" 1t is al
ways outspoken and defiant Business
Frustrated, another falsehood Labor
impoverished 4" 1t is not. Nowhere in
the world do workingmen receive such
high wages and pay less in proportion
to their earnings for the nocessaries of
life.
"rhe Peoples Party Platform, is a
base libe against the peop of this
country and SANDER against our great
Republic. The people who uphold that
that platform should be thoroughly
ashamed of themselves. From begin
ming to end they draw general conolus-
ions from isolated individual cases.
Such q process Of reasoning is fallacious
and wicked. No well-balaneed mind
can ever be deluded by such illogical
conclusions. 1t is time that Farmers
Alliances cease to be lead by such free
trade crankS. j. A. CURTIS.

small and unimp,rtaDt industry. which
had a hard struggle for existence, to a
large and iourishiug business. engsg-
ing the efforts of more than score of
firms with large capital and valuable
machinery. and giving employment, to
several thousand persons.
Three years ago there were oniy
about half dozen firms in the city of
Newark that were engaged in the man
ufacture Ofpearl buttons of pearl goods
of any kind. and even then they often
had hard time to keep their factories
running, in consequence of the fact that
the duty on pearl buttons was only %
per cent. ad yalorem. Under the Me-
Kinley law duty of p cents a line was
imposed in addition to the Is per cent.
duty. Under this law there is a chance
for American manufacturers TO show
what they can do, and the pearl button
makers of Newark are taking advan-
tage Of the benefits afforded them under
the Mckinley bill to the fullest extent.
and, although this is now usually dull
season in this trade, every firm in this
line of business is now running its fac
tory or full time and to its utmost
capacity.
One of the most enthusiastic advo-
Gates of the benefits of the Mckinley
bill to the pearl button industry is
Thomas A. Webb, who is one of the
pioneers in that trade. Mr.. Webb
started in business in the Nassau Works,
Newark, few years ago. and since the
passage of the Mckinley bill his BUSH
ness has increased to such an extent
that he has been compelled 10 make
arrangements for the erection Of a
building 100 feet long. 80 feet wide and
three stories high, in which to carry on
his factory
"My business" said Mr.. Webb,
"began with eight employees. Today
employ over 100 When my new fac
tory is completed / shall have between
$50 and 800 hands at work. My orders
now amount to between $4,000 and
$40, 900 year. Before the passage of
the Mckinley bill l was forced to be
content $1,000. The reason for this
is that there are large
factories in Bohemia which used to sup
ply our market through the jobbers and
of New York. The Bohe-
milan workmen were employed at star
yation wages, such as no American
operative could exist upon, and con So
luently the manufacturers in that
country could make up the goods there,
ship them to this country, pay the duty
upon them and still undersel their
American competitors. To-day all this
IS changed. Many of the Bohemian
shops stand idle, while the American
are doing large trade, which
S constantly increasing. There is no
in the country which has pros
oered so rapidly as the pearl button
has under the Mckinley bill >

WHITE OUTFITS: ROMA MTG DRESSES:
ANSWERS: NOTES.

Extremely stylish outfits for day
wear, are entirely IN white, even to
shoes of undressed kid or of linen with
kid tips. Pique woven in fine Bedford
cord ribs, nainsook or batiste, are IA
vorite materials for dresses and the
finish most frequently seen is embroi-
derry or lace that for the first named
fabric is usually in heavy mesh. Often
however, young people wear a touch of
color given by ribbon that forms belt
with long ends at the back and is ar
ranged in coguettish bows on the shout
derS. Parasol and hat of course are
white. Exceedingly dainty white dresses
of silk null and the new chiffon that
shows rough silk threads set in stripes,
are worn sometimes even for MOI ming,
at this centre of eXtravagant dress, but
generally such gossamer fabrics are re-
served for afternoon or evening. Gayer
dresses are made OF plain colored silk
null over figured faille, and among
other novelties in thin silk, may be
mentioned those woven in lace designs.
Null or chiffon with rough stripes is in
particular favor
ROMANTIC DRESSES
are made of lawn OF organdie stamped
IN beautiful floral patterns and charm
ing finish is given to simple outlines Of
round waist and bell skirt, by sashes of
India silk with fringed ends headed by
hemstitching. Trimmings of ribbon and
lace are added at the neck. cuffs and
around the bottom Of the skirt that APP
propriately shows from two to five ruff
files. Much use is made of lace yokes
that are round, square OF pointed and
edged with ruffles, especially when
transferable, since an agreeable variety
is obtained by changing them from one
dress to another The ubiquitous sus-
pender or shoulder strap may be taken
for granted IN the work of producing
/ color effects. One sees them every
where and the former give that imita-
ton of the masculine that is pardoned
because coupled with feminine taste in
the choice of contrasts. while the latter
are of real utility in holding up the
weight of skirts.
