Union at Memphis, Tenn Nov. IS.
Finance-We demand a national
currency, safe, sound and flexible,
issued by the government only, a full
legal tender for all debts, public OF
private, and that without the use of
banking corporations; a just, equitable
and efficient means of distributing
direct to the people at a tax not to ex-
coed 3 per cent. as set forth by the
Sub Treasury plan or some better sys
tenn; also, by payments in discharge of
it's obligations and for public improve
ments.
o.. We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the legal
ratio of Is to 1.
b. We demand that the amount of
the circulating medium be increased to
at least $50 per capita exclusive of legal
reserves.
C. We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expense of
another.
e. We believe that the money OF the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people and
hence we demand that all national and
State revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government,
economically and honestly admins
tered.
f. We demand thai postal savings
banks be established by the govern
men5 for the safe deposit of the earn
ings of the people and to facilitate ex'
changes.
LaHd-The land, including all the
natural resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people and should
hot be monopolized for speculativepur,
poses and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All lands now
held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs,
and lands now owned by aliens, should
now be reclaimed by the government
and sold for actual settlers only.
Observation-Disclosures be
ing a means of exchange and a public
necessity. the government should OWL
and operate the railroads in the in
terest of the people.
o.. The telegraph and telephone, like
the postofce system, being a necessity
for the transmission of intelligence
should be owned and operated by the
Government in the interest of the PEG
nile.

THE SECRET OUT.

Senator Sherman, the author of the
Sherman silver law, is telling secrets.
He says his law was passed to prevent
the passage Of a free coinage bill. He
further say that the Democrats helped
pass his law and now they are clamor-
ing for a repeal. All this is creditable
to neither Mr.. Sherman nor the Demo,
Gratis. 1t shows desperate meanness
on their part Here is what Sherman
says;
''There never has been a time since
the act of 1890, known as the Sherman
act,' was passed that I would not have
voted for It's repeal, " said Senator John
Sherman at the Lexington Hotel to-
day. 1.-The Sherman act vas a COM
promise measure, and it was passed to
save the country from a free coinage
bill that had been passed by the Senate
by an overwhelming majority. The
Democrats helped pass the Sherman
bill, and now they abuse it and blame
it for all the financial woes of the ma
ton. If the Sherman bill had not been
passed, a free coinage bill would have
been, and the result would have been
infinitely more damaging to the coun-
try"

and it is killing your stomach, too.
Some of these days you'll want it cop

Phosphate is something that no one
should take except after 4 full meal.

rived from phosphorus, and ii you use

How Some Girls Walk.

Why is il our young ladies do not
know how to walk? Look! here comes
one with her head pitched forward, her
hands swinging ungracefully by her
side. her feet scufhing the walk, and
altogether presenting an appearance
quite unbecoming one of Americas 5
lovely daughters, charming in all else,
perhaps. but OH. such gait! The next
one walks with n jerk. her feet and
lower part of her body having started
on race with her head to see which
will get there first. The consequence
Is for every step forward she comes
part way back with jerk.
Her sister follows, twitching un-
gracefully from side to side. rolling
from one foot TO the other like a sailor
in midocean, only he has some excuse
and she has not. The arms usually
follow, but in opposite directions. The
body of the next one makes perfect
bow, back bent, head forward, and
feet trying to catch up. Not one with
the firm, graceful step, erect head,
straight shoulders, easy arms, and
hands to be acquired by sufficient de-
termination to present dignified car.

taught in our schools?
