Finance-We demand a national
currency, safe, sound and flexible,
issued by the government only, a full
legal tender for all debts, public or
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 2 per cent. as set forth by the
SUb-Treasury plan Or some better sys-
tenn; also, by payments i 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
ct 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 m 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.
+. We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of the earn
tngs of the people and to facilitate ex-
changes.
Land-The land, including all the
natural resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people and should
hot be monopolized for gpeculativep Ur-
poses and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. ALI 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 governments
and sold for actual settlers only.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS be-
ing a lean of exchange and q public
necessity, the government should own,
and operate the railroads in the in
terest of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone, Liz
the postofice system, being q necessity
for the transmission Of intelligence,
should be owned and operated by th9
government In the interest Of the pe0
pie.

They voted for q change. Since then
they have felt the consequo noes, and in
the light OF their bittHr experience are
now anxious for another change-a
change back to tho prosperous con-
dition that preceded the placing in
power OF a party that had threatened
to wipe out the protective tariff. They
realize what tho mere threat brought
the country to, and are not anxious for
tho contamination OF that threat. The
elections that have occurred in the
country since 1892 do not furnish tho
evidence that the people want a change
as much as they did then. McKinley's

spring, didn't show it.. All these cleo
tons were held before II was known
that tho Wilson bill would not 90

New Iron aud stccI Process,

1t seems that the methods OF Cheapcn-
ing the cost of producing iron and steel
in the United Statcs, which have Of late
years been acquired, are capable OF be-
lug further Improved upon. United
States Consul Mason, ut Frankfort,
Germany, ina recent report, noted tho
discovery OF 4 c process which not
only produces j superior article, bur
makes u great saving by dispensing with
the use Of fuel.
Consul Mason's description of tho
new process OF smelling and casting OF
metal is thus summarized: First, 1t ia
effected BY electric heat under the in.
iiuence OF narilied air, and reduces the
cost OF casting iron and stool, &c, 80
por cent, while it saves time and i'm
proves tho product. Tho apparatus is
an SSair-tight furnace lined with glazed
tirobrick, its hearth connected with
molds into which the fused metal flows
in obedience to the law OF gravitaaou.
Tho iirebrick lining forms MI efficient.
insulation, and the electric current ia
sent through the charge directly with.
on; tho use OF any fuel or the employ.
mcnt OF carbon electrodes. The
fused metal is nearly pure and
frce from carbon, seeming to bc
melted away from that refractory elc-
ment. The continued exh austion OF
the air aud the produced gases increases
the lluidi.y OF the motion motal. pro.
venting oxidation and blisterinc, and
permitting tho production OF castings
which are dense within, smooth outside,
and possessing tho highes. mechanical
qualities. In n small experimental
furnace u ton and q hall OF pig iron was

Next Wednesday will DO celebrated
throughout the Christian world a, tho
ilttieth anniversary OF tho Young Mems
Christian association. 1t was on tho
9Th oil June, 1911, that a small company
Of young men met in London, in'tho
bedroom OF L young dry goods clerk
named George Williams, by his invita-.
ton. 10 his guests Williams submitted
a plan for Il Christian association Of
young men, which mot with favor and
was adopted. Tho association was &c.
Rigncd to DO undcnominational and
broad in character. II was not required
that n member should be Il member OF
church, the idea being to surround the
members with moral influences thut
would lead them TO adopt Christian
lives.
The little company did not dream
that the acorn planted tina. evening
would grow into the gigantic oak it has
become. spreading its branches oyer
every part Of the world, with n power
for good second only TO the churches
themselves. But such has been tho ro-
suit OF that little gathering OF young
men, and to them the world owsa an
inestimabIe debt OF gratitude. On this
1ifticth anniversary reports will be
made hattheassociatio exteuds all over
the world; that 1t has more than 900, 600
members, with property valued at from
S20,O00,0O0 to $4,000. 900; tina. the mem.
bership embraces every nationality and
young men OF all class$and ayocations.
Mr.. Williams. tho founder OF tho assoc
citation, is still living aud claims for it
that the Y. N. G. A. has made it's i'm
press upon the world. In an interview
he says: "The young men in business
to-day are great improvements upon
those when the association was form
cd" and he believes that this is largely
owing to tho work of the association.
This is undoubtedly true. Hero, in
Wheeling, the influence OF the a~ssocia-
ton is felt in . practical way. Tho
business men OF tho community know
Of this influence, aud it ia safe to say
that il they were told that it wa to be
taken away for want offiuancial support
they would come to tho rescue and iu-
suro its retention. The reason for this
is that, outside OF its religious work, tho
y. NJ. G. H., provides for the young
men OF the community, who are willing
to avail themselves Of tho privileges,
practical opportunities for tho improve
mcnt OF mind and body, in the shape of
the reading room and gymnasium,
which are totally free from objection
able features, and which equip the
members with healthy minds and
bodies, and contribute to the building
up Of manhood. and tho forming OF
characters that make good citizens, and
successful and reliable business men.
