ness, says:
He levied and collected $50, OOO,OOO on
the banks md trusts for campaign pur-
poses. He hired and paid 100000 men
to Journey to Canton to see Mckinley,
making the world believe 1t was the
spontaneous desire of the people to pay
their respects to the great American
statesman. This trick cost Mr.. Hanna
$1,500,OOO, or $50 for each man. He
hired the owners of 300 grcnt factories,
employing 100000 men, to shut down
month before the election and then
to open up a few days after 1t, to make
a stir in business. This cost him 3d.
100000.
The proprietors of 200 other factories
II shops have been paid $2,50O,O0O to
induce them to coerce their men and to
compel their men to vote for Mckinley.
Hanna actually bought Ingersoll, Carl
Schurz, Bourke Cochran, and Benjamin
Harrison, who We're paid $4,000 each
to make speeches for Mckinley. Han
ma worked Il great scheme on the
churches. He actually induced 10000
preachers to put up private prayers
for the purpose of getting IL drought in
India so that the food crop would be
short and the price of wheat rise high
er than the price of silver. For those
prayers he paid $%1,OOO,OOO. Then, to
make a sure thing of it, he went to
San Francisco and bought 10000 tons
Of wheat, for which he paid $25O,OO
This wheat he ostensibly shipped to In
dia, but when 1t got fairly out of the
harbor every bushel of 1t was dumped
overheard into the Pacific Ocean.
Hanna was bound that Mckinley
should have a large popular majority,
so he vent to work and bought up a
million of men for $40 each; that was
$~1O,O0O,000, and he got the votes. You
can see 1t in any of the tables of cleo
ton returns. The trouble of it all Is
that Hanna has promised those banks
and trust companies who advanced the
fifty millions that they shall have 1t ala
back out Of the United States treasury
as soon us Mckinley is in~augurated.

success in recovering by electrical means
the iron contained in low-grade ore. The
inventors experiments have been carried
on during the past six years at the ola
Ogden iron mines, a few miles from Dover,
N. J.. where he has built w plant cover
ing several acres of ground, and which.
after many experiments. is now capable Of
producing daily from 1,000 to 1900 tons Of
almost chemically pure iron.
The ore worked contains on the average
about % per cent of iron, and resembles in
appearance q very poor quality of Sray
rock. Mr.. Edison states that there are
200 COO 600 tons of this ore on the land inn
ncdiately surrounding his plant, from
which can be pro 1uced 100000 tons OF
iron.
His process, in brief, consists of blasting
the ore from the mountain sides, and then
by means of steam shovels and miniature
railroad cars conveying ii to massive
crushers, where it is broken UP and passed
on to other mills. where it is pulverled.
The powder is then allowed to fall in close
proximity to electro magnets, which defects
the iron to one side and the non-metallc
matter falls to the other side by gravity.
From the time the ore is blasted until It is
resolved into this metallic form and COM
pressed into briquettes for shipment the
process IS entirely automatic.

The proposition consists Of three main
features. of an alternative character.
The first contemplatos an lbsolute sus-
