Adopted Ut Washington, .. c., February
8, 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration Of Inde
pendence, as a basis for a Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
''That all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with certain IL
alienable 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 monopoliee 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 q 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 q 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
49, - 49, n@l1@A~- ~ - AArA harS~
(G) We demand the free and unllm-
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
(6) We demand a graduated income
tax.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to efectually con-
troll all rates of transportation on a
just and equitable basis.
() The telegraph and telephone,
like the posCofffce 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.
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
now owned by aliens should be re-
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
EXECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election OF United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall De di-
vided into two districts of nearly equal
voting population, and that SenaVort
from each shall be elected by tn
people of the district.
DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
(c) That our national legislation shall
be go framed in the future as not 60
build up one industry at the expense
of another.
I'D We believe that the money of thu
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited tc
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad
ministered.

The most contemplate creature on
earth is the one who trades on his
piety, and seeks to make personal
profit out of it. That genuine godli
ness is the first Of all q Notifications for
any position in the Church ia a propo
sition which is so true that no sane
nan will think of denying it or of call
ing it in question for even a single
moment. But what Whall we say of a
minister, if such a one can be found,
who, knowing in his inmOst soul that
he has not the intellectual equipment
necessary for the effective diecnarge of
grave and difficult trusts, resorts to
tricks and schemes for the purpose of
creating the impression that his ex
traordinary religious tervor is an ade-
qlate offset TO his other defciencles9
This is making gain of godlintss with
a vengeance. II il be not SImony, 1t 10

A. boy grows up in a Puritan house
hold, under Puritan training; he has
read his Bible, he has attended church,
he has heard sermons, though not lis
tened to them; he has been at Sunday
school; he has really, honestly tried to
do right; he has been, on the whole q
very conscientious little Jew without
knowing it. He has believed in God,
he has read the text, Thou God, seest
me, ard, OH how he has wished that
GOd did not; he has been afraid to an
swer to God; he has dreaded the time
when he shall stand before Gods judg
ment seat; all religion has been awful
to him; and yet he has been coscien
tious and has tried to do right, and has
half thought at times that he was q
Christian; but he was only a conscien-
tious little Jew. Presently this truth
that the glory of God is the glory oil
love, and that it shines in the face OF
Jesus Christ, begins to illuminate the
chaos of his mind and clear away the
darkness that fogs his footsteps and
and shrouds his future pathway. He
used to think of God as a great KING
sitting upon a great white throne, and
he tried to send his prayers up thither
but now, when he kneels to pray, he
first reads something from the Gospels.

reads the story Of a God who has
wrestled with temptation, who haE
known sorrow, who has understood
what it was to have all human expert
ences. His philosophy ia shaken; he
cannot understand it; he is still puz
Eled, though now and then he gets 6
little light from a figure here and
there. He reads those letters of D Jdg
son to the little children, and he see,
how this great mathematician did MOI
merely talk to children, but shared the
children's life, felt their enthusiasts
understood their imaginations, saw
their grotesque figures, was a child
with children; and he says, Ny Goo
