an Eye on Legislation Proposed
by Nelson AIdrich.

The public does not realize the I'M
portance Of safeguarding the general
welfare in any legislation that may
be proposed by Nelson Aldrich's cur
rency commission. The money prob
lem is complex. Every human being
in America is interested in it.
In 1899 the stock of gold in this
country was about $70O.0O0,0O0. In
1905 it was nearly $1,400,000,000. Dur.
ing the same period population IN
creased only 20 per cent.
In 1899 national and state banks
made loans of $5,0OO,OOo,O00 In 1909
their loans were $1O,0o0.0OO,000.
In 1899 the issue of national bank
notes was $237, 100000. In 1909 it had
increased to 100000. This huge.
bank note issue is secured by gold
redemption fund of $50. or 1874 ESQ 600.

the monetary commission, may %

We'll Done, Democrats!

Not since Civil war days has ses-
sion Of congress been held with re-
suits so significant as those attending
the special sitting recently closed.
Rarely, If ever, in the country's his
tory has the national lawmaking body
started on program of legislation so
fraught with possibilities Of benefit to
the people.
More than that-never before have
the Democrats in that body worked
more in harmony and accord with true
Democratic principles than in the long
summer sitting.
Democracy is coming into its own.
And the results will be still further
economy in national affairs and still
greater and more complete and tri-
umphant supremacy of those princi-
pies which make for equal rights for
all, and special privileges for none."

The mission schools are over
whelmed with these orphans. In Adana
they are so thick in one OF the
schools, which the missionaries hope
may one day be made larger, that
they sleep on the floor SO closely that
the teachers must pick their way
among their bodies In order to reach
their own rooms. Pathetic tales of
the murders are legion. Here Is one.

it with his dinner is no longer looked
at with large eyes, but his example
is frequently followed by those who

The facilities provided for re-
strictive combinations are also among
the strong influences tending to make
prices onerous and sometimes in .

Much that is readily accessible to all
