made toward a land plank upon which both
parties could unite. The following plat
form was adopted:

pied and speculative lands commensurate
with that value which location, settlement
and surrounding improvements give
thereto, to the extent that speculation
and withholding the same from improve
ment and settlement shall be rendered i'm
possible and monopoly in land be forever
destroyed.
= The means of communication and
transportation should be owned and con-
trolled by the people, as in the United
States postal system, and equitable rates
everywhere established.
B. The establishment of Il national none
tary system in the interest of the produc-
er, by which n circulating medium IN
necessary quantities and full legal tender
shall be issued direct to the people with
out the intervention of banks, or loaned
to citizens on ample security
t. The right to vote Is inherent in citi-
2enship irrespective-ot sex.
D. Excessive wealth resulting in luxury
and idleness on one hand and excessive
toll and poverty on the other lead TO in
temperance and vice. The measures of
reform here demanded will prove to be
the scientific solution of the temperance
