PLATFORM OF THE EooNoNl

Correspondence Of the BEE,
PLATFORM OF THs ooNoNIs PARTY.
g Adopted at Plattsmou,h, Merch, 1895.
Believing as we do that n complete incor-
poration Of the following principles into our
national, state and municipal governments
would increase the property of our country,
and enhance the welfare ard happiness of our
people, we, the members Of the economist
party do promulgste them IS our platform Of
principles.
1, Wehold that the s~trictest economy should
be maintained 10 the administration of ma
tional, state, county aud municipal offices.
2. We are in favor Of q lower system Of
direct taxation.
3. We hold that for the purpose Of protect.
ing the labor of our country, and for creating
q government revenue, there should be n eys'
tenn of duties levied upon imports sufficiently
high to bring up their price to such prices as
our msnuf scturers can afford to manufacture
the like goods for.
4. We are in favor Of the use of q BIZ
metallic coinage as q specie currency, and Of
U. s. notes, or greenbacks, as n paper cur
rency. But we demand tho retirement Of the
National bank notes, and that an equal
amount Of greenbacks be substituted in their
stead.
8, We demand that our national indebted
ness be paid off as fast as the same falls dus
with the surplus money in the United States
treasury. instead OF permitting the money to
lie idle in the treasury vaults, Ia excess Of the
amount required by law.
o. We hold that the United States should
theoretically enforce the PRINCIPLES commonly
known as the Monroe doctrine, against any
foreign power who may attempt to interfere
with any of the republics belonging to tho
American continent.
z. We hold that the government, or each
state respectively has the right and authority
to control and regulate the actions and opera.
tions OF corporations within it's respective
territorial limits. And we demand that our
state shall by proper Legislative ensctments
lessen the freight tariff to its minimum pay.
ing rates on all railroad lines operated In the
state of Nebraska.
8. We demand that our state shall enact
such a law as will do way with the COMPETE
