THE PROSPECTUS.
The following Is contained in its pros
pectus:
The Farmers World will not be the organ
of any party, clique or faction, but will be
Democratic in sentiment and will favor and
advocate:
l. A reduction of the tariff to revenue
basis and tariff for revenue only.
g The free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver-the money of the constitution
and such currency as may be founded there
on as the surest, safest and most permanent
settlement of the money question.
g. The election of honest, pure and incor-
ruptible men to Office and the economical
of our national, state, county
and municipal governments.
f. The uplifting and elevation of the Ia
boring classes, by means of education, CO.
operation, the use of labor-saving ma
chinery, and the very latest and best meth
DDS of farming.
The principles of the Alliance and Grange
as originally promulgated embody these
thoughts and will receive our hearty in
dorsement.
The World will oppose and condemn:
1, Class legislation of every character and
all attempts to engender class prejudices
and array the people of our common country
against each other in political organizations
founded on class distinctions.
2. All attempts of any man or organiza-
ton of men to hoodwink, deceive and mis-
lead the agricultural and laboring classes
for the promotion of their own selfish end,
and therefore. every attempt to convert the
Alliance or other farmers organizations
whose objects are in themselves commenda-
ble-into a secret political organization,
the consciences and degrading
the manhood of the class for whose benefit
they were founded.
8. All attempts, whether by precept or
to teach the people that the gov
eminent possesses anything it did not get
from them, and can by means of the sub
treasury bill, attempt to create values by
its fat or other impracticable or visionary
schemes of finance, destroy the principles
of political economy and put single dollar
into any mans pocket without an equiva-
lent in labor. >
By adhering to the old landmarks as
above outlined, and in that way only will
that degree of prosperity and happiness,
which is the just reward of honest toll,
come to the laboring classes. and the World
therefore confidently appeals to the farm
ing and laboring classes generally, whether
in or outside of existing political or labor |
who indorse its purposes to
rally to its support.
