the Banking syHteul-
Very many open and declared peO-
pies party papers are sounding the
alarm that plutocrat4c Echemers are
already busiiy at work for the purpose
of defeating the political hopes Of the
peoples party through the st. Louis
conference. 1t is affirmed by those
who claim to have good grounds for
knowing, that an attempt viii be made
to force the peoples party to adopt as
q platform the general declaration OF
principles that Will be put forth by the
St Louis conference
1t is obvious at first glance that the
comprehensive prOnuucsameuto, which
that body must issue, if it be true to
itself would be utterly impracticabIe
for use as "a peoples party platform lt
would be burdened with altogether too
many specifications aud details. and
could not make a winning platform
with which to go to the country
All leaders worth the name, who are
now identified with the peoples party,
are perfectly we'll aware that there is
not a shadow of a chance for national
victory unless the peoples party eau
win millions of recruits from the town
and city voters who have hitherto cast
their ballots for one or the other of the
old parties. in order to gain millions
party must have a platform that APP
pea's to the sound sense, patriotism
and personal interests OF This large and
influential body OF citizens
In the present disorgauizsd political
situation of the country, with a rapidly
growing contingent OF independent
voters, both il the democratic and re-
publican organizations, who have
grown tired of the party collar and
suspicious of Jhe sham issues, the peo-
pies party has magnificent lighting
chance in the campaign of 1872 If it
but show ordinary wisdom and policy
In 1850 the young republican party
was the only one out of the four in the
field that had a living issue that aD-
pealed to the patriotism of free non
slave holding Americans. 1t was that
the virgin territories of the United
States must be held ever sacred to the
toll of free labor and on this sublime
issue Abraham Lincoln was elected
president
In these days of breaking banks,
financial stringeucy, and hard times, if
the peoples party viii come TO the
front with a single plank platform
which demands governmental banking
on the lines of the bill recently intro
duced in congress by Hon. o. N.
KEN, of Nebraska, it can score
one of the most dazzling and
complete DBlALAGLL victories ia LLla
history of the country. If this bill be-
comes a law it will give financial re-
Lief to all classes of its honest citizens.
1t will make bank deposits absolutely
safe. It viii call into circulation over
one billion and u-half of dollars that
are now locked up in government
vaults, safety deposits, and hidden
away by persons who viii not trust the
banks. 1t viii enable the farmers to
cages by means of long time four per
cent. per auuum government loans.
Townships can then borrow money
of the government TO erect ware houses
in which they can store -perishabls
products, and get money at the govern
ment banks on the yvareh house receipts
Mechanics, business men and labOrors
in towns aad cities can get loans on
any good security at four per cent per
anuum- Governmental banking cam
not be assailed as class legislation, for
it win give equal benefits to all good
citizens in town and country alike.
If the peoples party viii b old its con-
ventiou on the 4th day of j. ly, 1892,
after the two old parties have held
theirs and gone to the country with
their sham platforms, and gives TO the
American people a One-planz platform,
as indicated, IL viii prove the political
sagacitY of the peoples party Leaders.
and give to the nation a reformatory
administration that is truIv of the Peo-
pie, by the people and for the people. -
