The farmers and laborers must be
deucated. They must know their
rights and how to obtain them. Amer
lean farmers have more power in their
hands than any other profession has.
bus they know less how to use their
power.

SSPSSS" UU@&SSA9 Ss 49, SSSA@@y
&. 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration Of Inde
pendence, as q basis for a Republican
form Of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men r created equal;
that they r endowed with certain o.
alienRble rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; that TO secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore. that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form Of government, pri-
vate monopolies Of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether of
the means of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right of
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest OF. the whole people.
FINANCE.
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means of distribution of this currency.
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interven-
ton Of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness Of the country on a cash basis.
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
o. We demand q graduated income
tax.
ca The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to efectually con
troll all rates of transportation on q
just and equitable basis.
o. The telegraph and telephone,
like the po~sTof1ce system, being a ne
cessity for the transmission of intelli-
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest Of
the people.
LAND.
We demand that no land shall be
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads in excess of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
ExECTIoN Oh UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall be di-
vided into two districts Of nearly equal
co. That our national legislation shall
be so framed In the future as not 20
build up one industry at the expense
Of another.

and girl has all she really needs in this line. Black is favorte for this skirt un- less she thinks it shows dust too easily.
 But she must have lots of waists, the number only to be limited by the pinchi- ness of her purse. She must have a silk waist, very pretty and becoming of course. Shirt waists of course; two of some suita- ble wool stuff and the rest of percale, Madras, dimity. the weaves she likes best.
 Then there's her gymnasium suit, dress- ing gown, macintosh. gloves, mittens, winter cloak, two hats, overshoes, hand kerchiefs and such accessories as she con- siders necessary. While one shouldn't scrimp on toilet articles the list should be kept within bounds. This ought to put our college girl in trim for the year. Have you stopped to think of the difference be- tween this very live, f-the-century young woman and her sister who flourish ed CD at the beginning of the century, who had her sampler and kindred di- versions, and whose mission was (to judge by novels) to love mildly and fade away, or, if particularly robust, to love again and be again undone."

Charming Room

Observing people who have visited north- ern and eastern cities this season have no doubt noticed the popularity of the Louis XIV. panel treatment in the decoration of drawing rooms and music rooms. It is especially noticeable in the palatial New York hotes-the Waldorf-Astoria, the Savoy and others. beautiful example of this kind of work has just been completed in the music room of MT. H. H. Sinnige's handsome residence on the South High lands. The panels are filled with a quaint and charming colonial silk stripe in the true colonial colors of green and yellow on a white ground and are surrounded with a gymp edge. A handsome colonial frieze in the cove of the room with an enamel moulding gives the finishing touch of grace to this very dainty room. The decoration of the room was designed by MT. W. D. Colby the decorator and art dealer.
