the Democracy of the town of Lake

The monetary congress held at In
dianapolis was another subject taken
up. This congress, he said, was COM
posed of bankers, commercial men,
and presidents Of boards of trade;
there was not a farmer among them.
This congress had reported in favor of
the gold standard. He then took up
the transportation question, an evil,
be said, that the Republican party had
not righted. Mr.. Evans dwelt longer
on this question than on any other,
and during his remarks said he be-
lieved that the railroad commission
appointed by the governors of this
State we're always with an eye single
to the interests of the railroads. The
mention of John Lind's name at this
point brought out some applause.
Mr.. Clark was the last speaker. He
commenced by saying, in a joking way,
that number of the people wondered
why he was here. One reason, he
said, was because the Peoples party
committee had assigned him to accom-
pany the candidate for congress in
his tour over the district, and the 9TH
or reason was that during the Manka-
to street fair there was baby show,
and he was chairman of that commit
tee. There we're 81 entries made, and
the committee had only eight prizes
to award. He Immediately left town.
Mr.. Clark took up the pine land
steal and read portion of the pine
land investigation committee report.
This report said that the cause of the
steal was corrupt State officers. The
Republican party, he said, had done
nothing about this, and would not.
The Republican party was evading
the question, and were trying to make
the war an issue. The speaker took
up the proposed McClesry money bill
and said it was in the interest of the
bankers, and against the interests of
the common people. He closed with
a tribute to the soldiers of the late
war, and said that the war should not
be made partisan issue. All the is-
sues, he said, would be settled on JUS
tice or truth sooner or later.

chairman of the Peoples party Con-

addressed an audience composed of
Populists, Democrats and silver Re-
publicans at the opera house Monday
evening. The crowd was about half
as large as the one that greeted Repre-

During the evening number of Re-

size up the crowd and to listen to Mr..

parents and brothers and sisters near

CORSET INDUSTRY.

In corsets. in other articles Of women's
wearing apparel. fashion is inclined toward
fckleness. With tie changing Of styles each
year comes a change in the character OF the
corset. First 1t Is short, then long. laced tiSht
and then loose There are corsets for the rich
and corsets for the poor, corsets for summer
wear and others for winter use, corsets de-
signed for the athletic woman. and so on
through long list. 1t has been said some
where that fair womankind creates the demand
for the major portion OF the worlds factories
and the more the subject Is studied the more II
would appear that this statement Is true.
The manufacture of corsets Is distinctly an
American industry, and from small beginnings
II has grown to tremendous proportions. The
European dealers have long since given up try
ing to compete with the domestic article, and
the field is controlled throughout by Americans.
or course there are few Of the finer grades
which still come from Paris. because there are
still a few foolish persons Of the feminine
gender who labor under the delusion that any
article with foreign brand upon 1t Is worth
more and Is more to be desired than anything
made In this country.
Dress reformeIs and health sects have waged
no end Of warfare against the corset, but to no
avail 1t Is more popular and more universally
worn to-day than ever before in the history Of
the country Even the athletic tendency of the
times has not been effective in bringing II into
disfavor. There may have been brought about
notifications Of the most criticised features OF
the corset, but that is ALL No woman can ex-
pect a good figure or perfect-htting garment
without the use Of corset
Prices range in value from % cents to $40
and upward. as high the extravaganza and
purse of the buyer will permit. The industry
in New-York Is an important one. There is
SlO.OW.OO0 invested In manufacturing plants
throughout the country, and the larger part OF
the output Is controlled In this city.
