The City of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Americans.
Not alone because it is the great throbbing
heart of the mightiest and grandest Republic
the earth has ever known, but also on ac-
count of its material magniicence, All
Americans take pride in its beautiful ave-
nues, majestic architecture, stately homes,
and well stored galleries and museums as
things of grandeur and beauty in themselves,
apart from the historic interest with which
they are invested. 1t is a hope and aspira-
ton of all young America" at least, at
some time or other to visit the Capital Of his
country.

qualled facilities in aid of this desire by in
augurating a series of popular excursions at

The Advocate, in its criticism of The
FREE PRESS for using Sound Currency
plate matter, implies that said use of it is
unfriendly to the working man, that THE
FREE PRESS can thus save the wages of
type setter. 1t is true it could do so, hut it
doesn't-the F. P type settlers get their reg
ular wages, and the use of the plates is to
their advantage. No hardship, therefore,
is imposed by the labor saving device
Along side of the Advocates animadversion
of The FREE PRESS for using plate matter
was a column of type borrowed from THE
FREE PRESS. II was n laborsaving device
that was a relief to its compostors, and we
hope did not diminish their earnings one
single penny. If the editor of the Advocate
would be frank, he would confess that his
real objection is not to the use of plate mat
ter, or the source from which it comes, but
because it was matter antagonistic to his
cherished opinions on the currency question.
