 COLUMBUS, Aug. 6.-The following is @ summary of the platform of the Peoples party: We hold that labor is the basis of all wealth, happiness and progress and must have equal protection by the law. In the organization of our party we know no north, south, east or west, and we are de- termined that the government of our coua- try shall be so administered as to secure equal rights to all people. We demand national, state or municipal shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We demand the abolition of national banks as banks of issuse, and as a substitute for national bank notes we demand that full legal tender treasury notes be issued in sufficient volume to conduct the business of the country on cash basis We demand the payment of all bonds of the government instead of refunding them in such money as they were originally made payable in; we demand government ownership of all the means of transporta- tion and communication between and by the people of the United States. We fla vor liberal pensions to all honorably dis charged union soldiers of the late war and generous care for their widows and or phans, and demand that the difference be- tween the value of gold and greenbacks at the date of payment be made equal to gold so as to place the soldier on the same foot ing as the bondholder has been. A wo- man suffrage plank is included in the plat form. The platform favors government loans to individuals and favors free coinage of silver, opposes alien own ership of land and demands that congress devise means of obtaining all land al ready owned by foreign syndicates, also demands all lands held by railroads and other corporations in excess of what is ac- tually needed be reclaimed by the govern ment and held for actual settlers only; de- mands graduated tax on incomes.
