THE WORLD BUILDING.

"N here is the Pulitzer Build
ing?"
A travelling man Of intelligent
appearance asked the question Of
n Bridge policeman the other day
The blue coat pointed to the
structure with the gilded dome.
"But that is the World Build
lug said the little man.
"Well then there is no Pulitzer
Building"
And the policeman spoke the
truth. When Joseph Pulitzer
completed the tallest building in
the world he determined that it
should be known by his name.
He notified his employees to al
ways refer to the structure as the
Pulitzer building, and tenants
were required by the term Of their
leases to use that name on all let
ter neadS and other stationery.
The building has been open less
than a year, and the decree OF its
protector has gone for naught.
The public have a way of settling
things for themselves and the
structure with the dome is known
from one end or the country to the
other as the World Building. The
tenants send out beautifully en-
graved letter heads with the "Pu-
liter Building, New York" as
their address,y thine tenths of the
replies are addressed to the

THE FINANCIAL PLANK.

ter.
OAK CLIFF FARM, Feb. 8, 1891.
EDITOR GREAT WEST
In reference to the financial plank
in the State Alliance platform adopt
ed at it's late meeting, desire to state
that this plank NO. ~ as originally
written by myself, and which passed
the committee unanimously, was as
follows:
1--WE favor an increase in the volume
of money equal to the requirements
of an ever increasing trade and busi-
ness, without the intervention Of
banks ofissue, and which shall be made
a full legal tender. We also demand
the free coinage of silver, and condemn
the late silver bill as a fraud, upon the
people"
There was no issue raised in the
committee upon the subject. It was
read several times and adopted with
perfect unanimity-on the motion, l
think, of Mr.. Perkins, of Mcleod. It was
again adopted by the committee as
part of the whole in the morning, and
read to the convention, as above, very
soon after. The original draft was in
my hand writing, in pencil, land subse-
quently copied by the Secretary of the
committee. There were a few verbal
errors in the copying of some of the
resolutions, naturally so, as they
were hastily made. Now the after
noon papers used the copy of some
one reporter and did not all copy
from the original. 1 observed this
and called their attention to possible
errors. When the evening papers were
received, perceived the error in the
18th resolution and Immediately went
to the reporters of the morning papers
and asked them to have the omitted
parts corrected. This they promptly
and kindly promised to do. They will
bear me out in this state ment. The
copy of the original, then on the Sec
retary's desk was correct as above.
1 also saw Mr.. Stromberg, the Sec'y,
and stated to him that there were err
rors in the platform as published in
the evening papers, and desired to
see the proof of his official publication.
He said that would not be issued for
some time, and the opportunity would
be given, No change verbal or other
wise, was ever made in that resolution
by any one, to my knowledge, and it
was originally, and should be now as
above given. Nor was there any other
financial plank proposed : in the
committee. have been absent in a
distant part ofthe country much of the
time since, or would have written
you sooner.
There is no difference between my
self and the Alliance of Minnesota up
on the financial issue. At our first
meeting of the State Alliance, there
was question raised as to what the
final decision of the Supreme Court of
the U. S. was, on the legal tender
quality of greenbacks. The last decis-
ion l had not then seen, and so stated
in the convention. My excellent
friend, Mr.. J. H. Maxwell, of Worthing-
ton, gave me a copy OF the decision in
controversy. This was the end of the
matter, and that decision was not
only satisfactory, but highly crafty
ing to me. For some reason or other,
there are those who insist that 1
think differently from the State ALI
ance on the question of finance. Such
statements are simply not true. Re-
spectfully yours, J. H. BAKER.

A petition sent to me for signers:
To House members in Legislature.
We, the undersigned petitioners, resi-
dents of the Co. of Polk, State of Mimi,
do hereby represent and petition,
that the time for redeeming lands sold
on foreclosure, sales of mortgages and
sold under executions issued out of the
courts of this state be fixed at three
years from date of said sales, instead
of one year as fixed by law.
Now, as l understand, no law can
be changed to effect any loan on real
estate. If so, would not q change of
this kind prove disastrous to
parties having such loans coming due
and wishing to renew? Would not
this have q tendency to cause loan
companies to demand immediate pay
ments. Also an entire withdrawal of
loans from state. believe it is neces-
sary for the country to have a lower
rate of interest and for that we should
make a fight if we can get no direct
loan from thegovernment. Ademand
for payment by loan companies OF
their money, when due, might cause
many good man to lose his farm.
And another idea. If a man can't re-
deem in one year, will two years more
be of special benefit without it would
give him the free use of land which
would not be honest to the company
wish to see our Legislature do good
work, but we must 60 careful or we
will ask too much.
