share toward advancing these
measures to fulfllment, and can
properly take good part of the
credit for their success
1t is fortunate, however. that in
this so-called progressive platform
the only measures distinctly and
definitely recommended are the
measures which are already, for
the most part, achieved.
The next plank in the Demo-
cratic platform declares for presi-
dental primaries in the election of
delegates to the national conven-
ton
This plank is inadequate and I'M
progressive. 1t is worse than WORTH
less, since it merely pretends to
offer a solution. It's suggestion is
not q solution.
1t proposes a remedy which will
not remedy the conditions that the
people object to; yet offers the
stone Of pretense instead of the
bread of performance.
The uselessness of presidential
primaries followed by a convention
in which the delegates may defy
the expressed will of the people
has been shown by the convention
at Baltimore.
A vast majority of delegates
elected by presidential primaries to
that convention were elected to
vote for Champ Clark and instruct
ed to vote for Champ Clark.
But Mr.. Bryan, like many other
delegates in that convention, re-
pudiated his instructions, denied
the right of the people to express
their choice through presidential
primaries, assumed a superior right
for himself and not only refused to
vote for Champ Clark, but did his
worst to defeat Champ Clark, the
choice of the people of his state
and his district.
There viii be other delegates to
other conventions as discreditable
as Mr.. Bryan, with as little moral
ity and as little sense of right and
decency as Mr.. Bryan.
Other delegates elected by presi-
Dental primaries, perhaps follow
ing Mr. Bryan's leadership and cit
ing Mr. Bryan's example. will re-
fuse to accept the instructions of
their constituents, will refuse to
vote according to the expressed will
of the people in presidential pri-
maries and will take it upon them
selves to defeat the will Of the peo-
pie and to vote according to the
will of the corporations expressed
in a more material form.
For a presidential primary to be
effective there must be no conVen-
ton, no delegates with so much
power and so little character as to
fail to carry out the popular will
The next president must be NOM
mated by direct primaries without
any convention and without any
delegated power to INSCRIPTIONS
and unreliable representatives.
The next president must be nom
mated by direct primaries, and the
man who gets the greatest number
of votes according to the electoral
vote of the state must be the nOmi-
nee of the party
When the Democratic convention
failed to declare in favor of such a
just and genuine direct primary it
failed conspicuously to be progress
Sive or even to be Democratic

The strong position of the national banks

February circular Of the National City
Bank, which says:
The soundness and safety Of our national

proportion held is nearly double what 1t
was twenty years ago. In 1891 the surplus
of the banks amounted to 30 per cent or

per cent. In 1911 the surplus had reached
over o. per cent
Notwithstanding the fact that the ma

zation without any surplus at all. The ~
banks mentioned have accumulated surplus
averaging only 10 per cent. These banks
have paid out in dividends TO shareholders
since their organization a sum, approx

surplus of some Is banks Is yet so small
that loss of 81 .0O0 each would impair their

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.

Statements concerning mill operations
continue 90 be more impressive than those
dealing with new orders for finished steel.
Yet the aggregate of January bookings by
the larger steel companies was not far
from the total shipments, and in the Pitts
burgh district in particular specifications
for semi-fnished steel have been heavy. A
surprising development is that one Pitts
burgh interest. unable TO supply a local
plant with open hearth billets on which
delivery was due. turned to an Eastern
steel works, and there is thus the unusual
occurrence OF Eastern steel being shipped
into the Pittsburgh district. There Is also
the probability that the leading interest

Alabama furnaces have just sold nearly

making large demands upon cast iron pipe

tive than last year. and some makers
have taken courage TO ask slightly higher
prices.
The Iron Trade Review" says:
Finished raw material markets through
out the country are quiet, so far as new
business is concerned, and in some places
there is tendency to lower prices. In
tho East and i'm the Chicago district little
attention Is paid to Pittsburgh as a basing

market is continuation of liberal sDecifiCa-

CHEMICAL co. TO SELL STOCK
Company Needs Additional Capital for
Growing Business.

William II. Nichols. chairman Of the
board of directors of the General Chemical
Company. announced Yesterday that the
directors had decided to offer 10 the hold
ers OF preferred shares the remaining avail
able s1,250.CCO preferred stock at par, and TO
holders Of the common stock sSij,S9o Of the
remaining common stock at par. This IS
10 per cent, respectively, Of each class out
standing and will bring the total amount
Issued TO lG.75OOoo preferred and 9,4lf,7H
common stock.
The reason for selling stock. MIR. Nichols
says, Is that additional capital VIII be
necessary within eighteen months for new
construction TO meet the natural growth
of the companys business, which cannot
be taken care of wholly by the money pro-
vided from the company's surplus profits.
The last transaction in General Chemical
preferred was at 10Sfs on Tuesday. The
common closed yesterday at l32.
