Free Coinage, Free Trade and Postal
Banks Demanded.
OMAHA, July 5.-The preamble and
platform adopted by the Peoples party
convention declares that I'VE meet in
the midst of nation brought to the
verge of moral, political and material
ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot
box, the legislatures, the congres, and
touches even the ermine of the bench.
The people are demoralized; most of
the states haven compelled to isolate
the voters at polling places to prevent
universal intimidation and bribery.
The newspapers are larely subsidized or
muzzled; our homes, covered with mort
cages, labor impoverished, and the land
concentrating in the hands of the capi-
talists. The urbane workmen are denied
the right of organization for self-pro-
lection; imported pauperized labor beats
down their wages; a hireling standing
army. unrecognized by our laws, is
established to beat them down and they
are rapidly degenerating into European
conditions. The fruits of the ioiling
millions are boldly stolen to build up
colossal fortunes for the few, unpre-
cedented in the history of mankind;
and the possessors of these, in turn, de-
spise the republic and endanger liberty.
From the same prolific womb of the
governmental injustice we breed the
two great classes-tramps and million
aires.
I'VE have witnessed for more than a
quarter of century the struggles of
the two great political parties for power
and plunder while grievous wrongs have
been inflicted upon the suffering people.
We charge that the controlling influ-
ences dominating both the parties have
permitted the existing dreadful condi-
tions to develop without serious effort
to prevent or restrain them. Neither
do they now promise us any substantial
reform.
Assembled on the anniversary OF the
birthday of the nation and filled with
the spirit of a grand generation who
established our independence, we seek
to restore the government of the repub-
lie to the hands of the plain people.
with whose class it originated.
I'VE demand national currency safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the general
government only, full legal tender for
all debts, public and private, and that
without the use of banking corpora
tons; a Just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution direct to the peo-
pie at tax not to exceed per cent. per
annum, to be provided as set forth in
the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers
Alliance or some better system; also by
payments in discharge of its obligations
for public improvements.
I'VE demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
I'VE demand that the amount of the
circulating medium be speedily increased
to not less than $50 per capita.
We demand graduated income tax.
Transportation being means of ex-
change and public necessity, the gov
ernment should own and operate the
railroads in the interest of the people.
"The telegraph and telephone, like the
postoffice system, being necessity for
the transmission of news, should be
owned and operated by the government

An Illinois Crib and the Device for stor-
ing Corn Therein Described.
One of Illinois progressive farmers,
Mr.. @. NJ. Rice, describes in The Prairie
Farmer the corncrib and elevator rep
resented in the accompanying cuts:
wanted to put my corn where the
rats could not get at it. also wanted
more room without buying more lum-
Der. The result is so satisfactory that
will give others q chance to try the same
thing.
The old crib was SO feet long, 90 feet
wide and feet high, with driveway 8
feet wide the whole length, and held
1000 bushels. The new crib Gig. y,
built of the same lumber, is "a feet long,
81 feet wide and 12 feet high, with
driveway feet wide at bottom and
feet wide on top, holding $500 bushels
The shorter length is made up by the
greater height. The gain in room is by
filling the space above driveway. But
the greatest economy in lumber is
brought about by having clear corn
room 81 feet wide above driveway
As ordinarily built this room would
make three cribs, each Z feet wide
Six sides would then be necessary to hold
the corn in, but now only two are used
And still more, the wide roof rises so
high in the middle that the cornroom is
high, yet the sides are low.

Not All Are Paupers,

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-Governor Pat

the lunacy committee of the state board
of charities, of which DIR. Thomas G..
Morton, of this city, is chairman, charg-
ing that the board Of charities and cor
rection, of Philadelphia, has habitually
for number of years past committed
people as paupers to the Norristown In
sane asylum who never have been
classed under that head, as in many
cases, by order of the court, their rela-
tives have paid certain sum for their
maintenance. The communication
further alleges that by this process of
commitment some $15, 900 of the states
money has been diverted from its proper
channels.

Air for Motive Power.

New YORK, July 5.-The company
that proposes to propel vehicles by at
mospheric application has been organ
lied at Trenton with 81 ,000,0 capital.
The stockholders are mostly New York
capitalists. For nearly five years Joshua
Kames, of Hazleton; Pa, has been work
ing on a plan to propel street and other
surface cars through the medium of
compressed air, and his plans were per-
fected several months ago. The inven-
tion has been patented, and, if success
full, it will do away with steam and
electricity as motive power for surface
railroads. 1t is proposed to put COM
pressed air chambers under cars, with q
cylinder on the front platform, and thus
furnish the motive power. 1t is claimed
that speed Of seventy to eighty miles
an hour may be easily attained. Within
a month a surface car propelled by the
new device will be run over a street rail
road either in this city or Brooklyn.

HORSE NOTES.

PHILADELPHIA, july 5.-The midsummer
meeting of the Belmont Driving club began
yesterday at Belmont park. In the third heat
of the 2.35 class w. X. Weidensaul, of Mt. Car
mel, the owner and driver of Senator X, was
deposed by the judges for pulling his horse.
and John 7. Strickland, a director of the Bel
mont club, was substituted. Senator X won
the third heat in 2.2414, although he had been
beaten in the first and second heats in much
slower time. Mr.. Strickland easily landed
Senator X a winner of the two succeeding
heats and the race, and the judges awarded
him $50 of the first money for so doing and
fined Weidensaul $780,
While rumOrs were current that Weidensaul
was in with the pool sellers, 1t is thought he
was trying TO prevent giving the horse a better
record than ASA, which was his best mark
heretofore.
Tomorrow Nancy Hanks. 200, will go against
Sunols record of 2.OSJ4, with Budd Doble driv.
ing. Five thousand dollars will be given foi
the attempt, and if the record be beaten $1,000
will be added. The following are the sum.

Stealing Brass Their Speciality.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, July 6.-Ever since
the Bellefonte Furnace company's works
have been shut down the owners were
continually missing brasses from their
shops and buildings. Even the engines
have been stripped of their stopcocks,
oil cups, journal bearing, etc. The value
of the brass stolen has been estimated
by Thomas A. Shoemaker, the superin-
tendent, to foot up several thousand dol
lars. Yesterday four boys were arrested
for completely in the theft, but it is be-
lieved that most of the robberies have
been done by men. The brass has not
yet been sold on offered for sale in this
town, but is believed to be buried on Half
moon hill. The furnace comp any is
having search made for the brass.

CORNHoUsE.

The driveway and cupola form good
ventilation, and when corn is green q
furnace placed in the driveway could be
made to send hot air up through it. Our
corncrib is then dryhouse, and our
corn can be picked.
1t will be difficult for some to get the
corn up so high. Several elevators or
carriers would be suitable for the pur-
pose, but l use q box holding thirteen
bushels and raise it as we do q horse
fork. Fig. 2 shows its form and position
az S.le end Of the wagon box, also the
arrangement of the ropes.
By unhitching the team from the
wagon tongue and hitching to the rope
the corn is raised easier and quicker
than 1t could be shoveled feet high.
The box is emptied by rod which sticks
up above the top of the box. When the
box reaches top of elevator shaft this
rod is pushed down, the doors are un-
hooked and fall into the position shown
by the dotted lines, the corn then slides
out and the box Is ready to come down.
When the box is down the lower door is
put into position and hooked by showing
the rod up to its place. The upper door
Is held by the lower door.
This crib is set on stone piers feet
s inches apart, 1S inches high, 10 inches
wide at bottom and inches on top. The
floors are double boards feet inches
wide and "a feet long, nailed to by 9
sills, 8 feet 7 inches long. laid on top of
the piers. These sills have tin strips
nailed to the top edge and extending a
inches out all around, making it impos-
sible for rats to get up to the floor. The
position Of other timbers and elevator
shaft are shown in the drawing.
