| bonding of corporate property and the
issue of stocks representing the same to
actual values, and no increase of bonds
of stock by existing corporations,
whether public or private, shall be legal
unless the same shall have been author
lied by State authority.
| Resotred, That it is hereby recommended
that each member of this convention use
every honorable means in his power to
secure the election to Office, whether
local, state or federal, OF those only who
are exponents of the antitrust sentiment
and in whose fearless determination to
use their utter most endeavOr to crush
and exterminate all trusts and monOp-
olies complete confidence can be had.
Resolved, That this congress opposing
as it does the greatest of all trusts, the
financial trust, demands a return to
bimetallism in order that the common
people may enjoy the blessing OF the free
and unlimited coinage OF both gold and
silver.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE RADICALS.
The seceSsionists from the regular
convention, not satisfied with its ac-
ton, its resolutions were not suffi-
ciently infamatory and denunciatory,
met at the Palmer house in a nearly
all night secret session and gave out
the following as the resolutions they
adopted. The contrast will be OBJ
served.
At the night conference the Seces-
sionists successfully passed resolutions
to their liking, as they had no opposi-
ton. Almost everyone had some
resolution, and each one was discussed
and passed. General Weaver was
chairman of the meeting and DIR. Nc
Lellan, of Kansas, secretary. About
thirty persons represented Kansas,
Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, Mas
achusetts, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Utah, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ten
nessee. These were the resolutions:
Resolved, That since it has been de-
monstrated officially that the business
of mining, transporting and selling
anthracite coal is a monopoly, the gov
ernment should take possession OF the
anthracite coal fields by right of eminent
domain.
Resoired, That since it has been Off
cially shown that the .bituminous coal
business is going the same way, the
| bituminous coal fields should be similarly
taken possession of.
Resolued, That since it had been Off
cially shown that the railroads are simi-
larly mOnOpOlizing farm and timber
lands, and, since it is thus shown to be q
law of industry that ownership of the
highways is ownership of the railways,
therefore the people must become their
own owners by making themselves the
owners of their own highways.
RESOLVED, That this congress, opposing,
as it does, the greatest OF all trusts-the
financial trust-demand q return to
bimetalism in order that the common
people may enjoy the blessings Of free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver at the present ratio of 16 to /.
Resolued, That we recommend to the
several states now owning coal lands and
to the United States government that all
lands not now sold containing coal,
metals or forests, be held for the use and
benefit of all the people, and that means
be provided by which the coal shall be
mined and sold to the people at the
actual cost of production.
ResotUed, That We urge upon the con.
gress of the United States and upon the
legislatures of the several States that
they shall enact laws to condemn and
seize the property OF all trusts, conspira-
cies and combinations not only in transit
between the States, as provided in the
Sherman act, but within the States or
wherever they may be found, and that
if it eventually becomes necessary in a
death struggle between the people and
these criminal conspiracies, the protec
tion of the laws be withdrawn for their
property. And we also demand that the
, charter of any domestic corporation in
any state that is proven to have become
party to any criminal conspiracy OF
trust shall be forfeited; and that the
comfy between the States be by Law
denied to any foreign corporation which
becomes party to such combine or con
= spiracy.
The last resolution was introduced by
Ignatius Donnelly.
The Magazine of the Future.
The July Cosmopolitan will mark thu
most radical step ever taken in periOdi
cal literature. With that issue the mag
azine, unchanged in form, in fact, one O
the best numbers of the Cosmopolitan ever
t issued, will be put on sale at twelve ano
one-half cents per copy-$1.5O year
The cuttingi in half a price already deemed
low for an illustrated magazine, is thu
result of an intention long since formed
to give to the public an illustrated
monthly of the very highest class Al
+ such price as must bring it within th'
| reach of all persons of Intellectual tastes
8 however limited their incomes. Ther
are ten million readers in the United
4; States, and less than eight hundred
thousand magazines printed to supply
: their demands. More than four years
: have been spent in reaching the organi
i zation necessary for the production o
s the Cosmopolitan at this price, q figur
hitherto undreamed of by the reading
3 world. Each department Of the work ha
: slowly been perfected, until with the Jan
4 | uary number of this year one hundred
t and fifty thousand copies of the maga
] zine were prepared upon presses and ma
n chinery of the most improved form, bull
Z with a view to producing the finest re
suits at the very minimum of expense
1 the only establishment in the world, it j
J. believed, devoted exclusively to the print
t. ing of an illustrated monthly magazine
= To establish magazine upon such
h basis at the outset was impossible. Onl.
e the rapid growth OF the Cosmopolitdn's ed
e tions, almost unprecedented in magazn
e records, has produced the condition
4 which make this departure from estat
e lished prices possible. The Cosmopolita
n promises to make the year 1893 th
d most brilliant in its history. No othe
v year has seen such an array of distir
d guished names as will appear on it's It'll
page during 1893. De Maupassan,
s Mark Twain, George Ebers, Valdes, Spie
J. hagen, Francoise Coppee, FlammarioT
IS and Paul Heyse, are some of the author
J. whose work will appear for the first tim
|; during this year in the pages of the Co
'e nopolitan. Among the artists whose wor
n will decorate its pages ior the first tim
d during 1895 are Laurens, Toussan
ii Verge, Rochegrosse and Schwabe. Wi
d liam Dean Howells will be regular col
Of tributor during 1S93-94. A feature {
d the July number will be triple fronts
ee pieces by Rochegrosse and Guillonnet.
