It is the friend of Union ism, and should have from each of us our most cordial and hearty support, because the efforts of. such houses build up our cause strength- -ens it hi every quarter and humanely" helps our brethren of the east by its efforts to discourage the fweathouse system of tailoring.

' Will you not put yourself out a little will you not walk out of your way a block or two to favor such a store and buy its wares?
