Platform ofthe National Pro.
hlbIfiOn Party,

AGc5sed at tbs Chicago Convention, Sspfr.
2, 1868.
WHrRrAs, Protection and allegiance are
reciprocal duties, and every citizen
who yields obedience to the Just CON-
msnds of his government is entitled
to the full, complete and perfect pro-
lection of that government in the en-
joyment of personal security, person
al liberty, and private property, and
WHEREAS, The traffic in intoxicating
drinks greatly impairs the personal
security and personal liberty oflarge
masses of citizens, and renders pri-
vste property insecure, and
WHEREAS, The existing parties are
hopelessly unwilling to adopt sn sd-
equate policy on this question, there
fore we, in national convention as
sembled, as citizens of this free re-
public, sharing in the duties and re-
possibilities of its government, in
the discharge of q solemn dirty we
owe to our country and OF race,
unite in the following declaration of
principles
|. That while wa acknowledge the
pure patriotism and profound states
manship of those patriots who laid
broad and deep the foundations ofthis
government, securing at once the
rights of the States severally and their
inseparable union by the Federal Con-
stitution, we would not merely gsrnish
the sepulchers of our republican faith
ers, but we do hereby renew our SOL
emn pledge of fealty to the imperish-
able principles of civil and religious
liberty embodied in the Declaration of
American Independence and our Fed
ersl Constitution.
2. That the traffic in intoxicating
beverages is q dishonor to . hristian
civilization, inimical to the bestinter-
ssts of society, q political wrong of I'M
equaled enormlty. subversive of the
ordinary objects of government, not
capable of being regulated or restrain
ed by any system of license whatever,
but i~mperstively demanding for its
suppression effective legal prohibition
both by State and National Legisla-
zion.
8. Thatin view of this. and inasmuch
a. the existing political parties either
oppose or ignore this great and para
mount question, and absolutely refuse
to do anything toward the suppression
of the rum traffic, which is robbing the
nation of its brightest intellects, des-
4roying its material prosperity, and "a
pidly undermining its very founda-
tions, we are driven by an imperative
sense of duty to sever our connection
with these political parties, and to or
ganise ourselves into National Prohi-
bition Party, having for its primary
object the entire suppression of the
traffic in intoxicating drinks.
4. That while we adopt the name Of
the National Prohibition Party, as ex-
pressive of our primary object, and
while we denounce all Reputation of
the public debt. and pledge fidelity to
the principles of the Declaration ofIn-
dependence and the Federal t'onstitu-
ton, we deem it inexpedient to give
prominence to other political issues.
S. That a Central Executive Commit
lee of one from each State and Terri
tory and the District of Columbia, be
appointed by the Chair, whose duty it
shall be to take such action as in their
Judgment will best promote the in
terests of the party.

Farmers insurance Company
Of Holloway, Ohio.

Many Of our farmers now under
stand the principles upon which the
Farmers Insurance Company, of
Jelloway, OHIO, is conducted, and
all such have awaited themselves oil
Its protection against the losses re-
sulting from fires; but there are
many more that should be advised
on this subject, and we will give h
short statement relative to its ad-
vantages.
1st. 1t insures nothing but Farm
Property, and is not subjected to
the great losses that commonly re-
suit from insuring town, Or city
property, where n fire is liable
to consume great numbers of build
ings. This enables the farmers to
insure their property at lower rates
than can DO Done IN other compan-
les.
End. Il Is not of that class of
companies known as Mutual Com
panIes," in which you are never
done paying for your INSURANCE.
If you pay the Farmers Insurance
Company fifteen, twenty or TWEEN
ty- five dollars to insure your prep
erty for five years, that is the end
of your outlay, anu you will not be
called upon to contribute five or
ten dollars more al the end Of each
quarter, as lie often the case in Mu>
lual Companies.
3rd. The Farmers Insurance
Company pay. the full sum for
which your properly is insured
whenever you are unfortunate
enough 20 lose your property by
fire. There is eve any quarllIng
about what you should receive, but
losses are always honorably adjust
cd and promptly paid. In order to
satisfy you OF this, we cite You to
Rebecca Hammond. Of Bloom town.
ship, Catharine Williams, OF Malta
TOW nship, and Ely Triplett, Of
Morgan township, all of this county
and who have been paid losses by
this company.
For further particulars relative
to this company, we cite our Far
mers to L. S. WHITAKER. the Agent
Of the Company III this vincinity,
who will always take pleasure IN
making matters and things pertain
ing to insurance plain to all.
