years ago as good miner as ever

he would have made it pay more.
Work was then suspended till last
fall, when Joe Robbins took hold OF

he was to have full charge, which he
has had. The question is, did he
make it pay? One hundred feet oil

ly calls attention to the relations of
corporate and public rights as the
most important question before the
American people at this time.
Steam, electricity and machinery
controlling factors in the industrial
and commercial world, have been
largely monopolized and the public
taxed unduly for their use.
Corporate life, practiced immortal
in its duration, welding these great
powers, has assumed an Importance
never before known or contemplated,
and it is not only rapidly concentrate
ing the wealth of the nation in few
hands to the detriment Of the masses,
but to perpetuate this state Of things
it has sought political power and cor
rnpted our elections and legislation to
an extent that not only imperils pub
lie morals but endangers our free in
stitutions.
That this is true is known of all
men. Official Investigations have
demonstrated it; our everyday life has
proven it. We therefore declare that
organization of the people is necessary
to maintain the following
PRINCIPLES:
Anti Monopoly
We advocate, and will support and
defend, the rights of the many as
against privileges for the few.
Corporations, the creation of the
State. shall be controlled by the State.
Labor and capital-allies, not ene-
mics; justice for both.
In accordance with these general
principles we affirm that the public
welfare and public safety demand the
following specific measures for relief
l. Laws compelling transportation
companies to base their charges upon
the "cost and risk Of SERVICE" with a
fair profit added instead Of the new
theory advanced by them-"what the
traffic will bear;' laws to prohibit the
establishment, through construction
companies or other devices, of fcti-
tious cost for works of public nature
prohibiting unjust determinations
against both citizens and localities
Railroad Commissioners, State anC
National, with adequate powers tc
see that these laws are enforced; q
liberal policy toward our waterways
which, during the season of naviga
ton, are potent in preventing exorbi
tant charges by railroads.
| 2 More efficient laws against the
crime of bribery and for the produc
ton of the purity of the ballot. A pro
hibtion of free passes.
3. A Public Service founded or
capacity and integrity.
4. Public Lands, the common in
heritance of the whole people, shoulc
be reser, ed for actual settlers.
5. Currency. the measure of.vaIues
; whether metallic or paper, should b,
equal to coin, and be issued and con
trolled by the Government only.
6. The known benefits of the pos
tai systems of other countries to b,
adopted in the United States; includ
t ing the postal savings bank, and tn
postal telegraph and telephone.
I. A free press-the bulwark O
our free nstitutions-must be main
tanned. Leading journals have bee
purchased by monopolists who ar
6 endeavoring to control the thought G
the Nation. The journals which ar
not thus controlled should be sus
tanned by the people.

in one dose. Bradley, after swallow
ing the stuff, laid back in bed, went
to sleep, and never woke again in this
world. He died about one hour after
he took the powders. 1t is my firm
belief that the powders given Bradley
were the direct cause of his death"
John Johnston's statement is, in
substance, the same as Dunn's. He
says the doctor gave him package
of powders, perhaps dozen or more,
and told him to give one to the man
every hour through the night. He
gave one at eight o'clock and another

has been there ever since, but pays
