THE CHARITABLE PEOPLE
OF West Virginia Appealed to by It's
Governor-Asks Aid for the starv-
ing Millions Of India.

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgencer.
CHARLESTON. w. Va, March a.
The following appeal has been sent out
by direction Of Governor George w. At
klnson to the charitable people of West
Virginia:
TO the Citizens OF West Virginia.
This office Is in receipt Of a COM
niunication from the Christian Herald
published in New York. newspaper Of
general circulation and of unQuestiona-
bic responsibility, in which the state
ment is emphasized that large portion
Of the population Of India is in starv-
ing condition. resulting from 4 famine,
which, in the dlspensatlon Of Divine
Providence, seems to have fallen upon
that country and Its inhabitants. The
Christian Herald is now loading two
ships with supplies for the starving
people, male and female, old and young,
In different sections OF flr-away India.
This great religious newspaper asks me
to officially and publicly present the
facts to the citizens Of our state.
While famine is impossible in n
country like our own, and while we are
now in the midst of plenty and pros
perIty on every hand. we should be
willing and ready, 1t seems to me, to
respond to the call Of the Herald to
send to the publishers of that paper
ouch sums Of money rs WE can conven-
iently spare from our own needs, to be
expended in the purchase Of food and
clothing for the tens Of thousands that
are now In the actual throes Of starva-
ton in India. The Christian Herald Is
entirely responsible and any funds sent
TO that newspaper will be honestly and
tudiciously expended, ana trust that
Il will be the pleasure of large num-
her of West Virglnians to promptly re-
spond to It's call for charitable aid, II
action is taken ut all. It should be done
with great promptness, as the two ships
referred to will sail very soon with re.
lief supplies. Very respectfully.

The price of iron and steel has dou-
bled within twelve or fifteen months,
the production OF steel has doubled
within four years. and the output of pig
iron has Increased 60 per cent within
the same period. The increase in pro-
duct!on was steadily growing during
'96-7-S. but was enormously enlarged
during '09. The doubling OF prices in
the face Of such vastly larger proiuc.
ton is an unparalleled phenomenon in
the Industrial world. The cause of this
unheard OF improvement lies in the ex-
traordinary demand for iron and steel.
This demand has been actual and legiu-
mate, and II stlll continues in spite Of
the high range of values.
