platform. The platform and "addi-
tional resolutions" have been kept as
standing matter in the Advocate ever
since their adoption, and they show
for themselves just what belongs to the
platform and what does not
The resolution was offered by an ex-
confederate soldier, Mr. Davis, of
Texas, after the platform was COM
pleted, and as a resolution it was
adopted precisely as stated in the letter
of the writer.
This is no new thing in conventions
of any kind. 1t is something that is
frequently done. After the platfor m
has been adopted, it is not at all un-
usual for individuals to offer additional
resolutions and get them adopted, but
it suits the purpose of republican jour
nalists (?) to endeavor to perverk this,
as they do everything else pertaining to
the peoples party movement. Know
ing themselves to be absolutely unable
to meet our issues and successfully con-
trovert our arguments before the people
they seek thus to build up their declin-
ing cause upon the prejudices of the I'M
informed. They will find before this
campaign is over that they have some
thing more to do to carry this election
than to play upon the prejudices of the
people. Prejudice is not now playing
the part in politics that it did in former
times.-Topeka Advocate.

Ex-senator John J. Ingalls,, during
the delivery of memorial address at
Jefferson City, Mo-, on Decoration day,
said:
His claim (the soldier's) is based on Justice
1t was part Of his service He fulfilled his
contract, and the government should not do
less. The common soldiers were paid from S13
to SIG per month and were allowed $40 to S45
per year for clothing The rations, when they
got them, were worth about $3.50 per month.
In all, an able bodied soldier received, directly
or indirectly about s., $50 for thirty-six months
service and the government assumed to con-
tribute to his support in Of disability or to
his relatives in case of death.
But the soldier suffered financial loss. At
home he would have earned at the rate of
wages paid 800 per year, or g. 100 for three
years. and thus each soldier who served three
years practically donated not less than 81 ,OOO
OF the three year men there were 2, 32O, 272 and
to Offset their loss there is still due 81, Co.,
100000 This is due by just bookkeeping and
payable. It Is an honest debt and can only be
avoided by reputation. The bondholders were
treated differently. They were paid 81 900 OO0,-
600 more than this.
AS the difference between the wages
paid soldiers and those paid laborers
not in the army exactly represents the
premium upon gold, Mr.. Ingalls, vir-
tually Endorsed the resolution adopted
by the st. Louis conference.

Its Editor Corrects a Contemporaries I'm
warranted Conclusion.
1t is being charged in some,of the state papers
that DR.. j. William Stokes, editor Of the Cotton
Raut is in favor Of paying the federal soldier
the difference between greenbacks and gold at
the time they were paid. We do not know DR..
Stokes view on this matter, but hardly think
he could favor such meaSure.-Orangeburg
Times and Democrat
There is no truth in the charge, con-
temporary. DR.. Stokes has made no ut
terance on the subject except what has
been in the Cotton Plant. What he said
in the Cotton Plant was that as an alb
stract proposition the federal soldier
was rs deserving as the bondholder.
If it was right for the bondholder to
be paid the difference between gold and
greenbacks, it was right for the federal
soldier. We thought everybody knew
how we stood in reference to the bond
holders side of the case. It is the mon
umental fraud of the century.-Orange-
burg Is. c. Cotton Plant.

A MARES NEST.

The Soldier Resolution Of tho Industrial
: Conference Worries tho Two Pluto Par
ties.
Republican journalists (?) have found
another mares nest They have let
ter from President Polk and another
from the editor of the Advocate relative
to the soldier resolution adopted at st.
Louis These letters they are running
in parallel columns for the purpose of
showing an inconsistency upon this
question
What is that inconsistency? Presi-
dent Polk says in his letter that the
resolution is not part Of our platform.
Now let these nincompoops read the
other letter and see if they can find
where it makes any claim that it is. No
participant in the st. Louis conference,
and no person anywhere who knows
anything about the matter ever claimed
that or the suffrage resolution to be a
part of the platform. The published
proceedings of the st. Louis conference
distinctly stated that it was not. It
has never been published in any reform
paper in the country as part of the

ALL IN ACCORD.

Democratic, Republicans and Populists In
dOrse the Justice Of tho Demand.
The resolution adopted by the indus
trial conference at st. Louis on Febru-
airy %, 1892, reads thus:
We demand that the government issue legal
tender notes and pay the union soldiers the
difference between the price of the deprecated
money in which he was paid and gold
Planks and of the national demo-
cratic platform of 1868 read as follows:

expressly state upon their face, or the law uu-
der which they were issued does not provide
that they shall be paid in CON- they ought. in

5. One currency for the government and the
people, the laborer and the ONCE holder, the
pensioner and the soldier the producer and the
bondholder.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The Capital publishes two more let
tiers, one from H. E. Taubeneck and one
from Ignatius Donnelly, under big
headlines entitled: ''More Develop
ments." Mr.. Taubeneck gives it as his
opinion that the soldier resolution
passed at ST. Louis will be dropped in
the Omaha convention. Mr.. Donnelly
says that the resolution constitutes a
part of the declaration of principles of
the peoples party. Wonderful discov-
cry that! Voters will no doubt be de-
serting the peoples party in droves if
they ever find out that there is slight
difference of opinion between two of its
prominent men! Poor old Capital; it is
hard up for something to say against
the new party. The publication of such
silly stuff would cause the editor to
lose his own self respect if he had
any.-Clay Center (Kan.) Dispatch.

A PRETENDED ISSUE.

The Two Old Parties Are waging a Sham
Battle Over Less Than Five Per Cent.
The Galveston Union Workman seems
to be greatly exercised over the phrase
''pretense of an issue" employed by the
Mercury with reference to the tariff
question, and feigns to think that the
Mercury favors protection. The posi-
ton of this paper was well defined on
that question before the advent of the
Workman. We stand fat-footed on the
resolution passed at the indianapolis
session of the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, which demands that
congress shall put all cotton goods on
the free list. This is farther than the
democratic bosses go. Again, we in
dorse the st. Louis conference platform,
adopted last February, which reads:
"We demand that all national and state
revenues shall be limited to the neces-
sary expenses of the government, econ
omically and honestly administered"
The tariff is not the most vital ques-
ton. Money, land and transportation
are all of more direct Importance. Tariff
is an indirect tax, and should be re-
duced to revenue basis for federal
purposes only, placing all the neces-
saries used by the masses of the people
on the free list, as demanded by the
alliance. What we object to is that the
money power, lodged in the east, is
using the two old party machines" to
prevent the people from considering
any other question. Such course is
solely in the interest of plutocracy,
49, -
class, the bondholders. mortgage
owners and money lenders generally;
hence they spare no pains or ex.
pense in magnifying the tariff question
even to distortion, and thus by neglect
ing and ignoring the more vital ques-
tions of currency, land and transporta-
ton, tariff is strained into "pretense
of an ISSUE" And the worst of it all is
that the two old parties do not intend
to do anything. The ''pretense of an
issue" between them now amounts to
one-fourth of cent yard on calico,
and less than five cents on the dollar on
the entire tariff list. If this is not a
''pretense of an ISSUE" what could be?
The Mercury is not only in favor of an
actual and decided reform of the tariff,
but of other reforms as we'll We mean
what we profess.
The strangest thing is, that so many
papers which are in position to do SO
much for reform, not alone of the tariff,
but all along the line, blindly follow
their party ''bosses" and sectional pref.
udices, and refuse to say one word for
reform, except about tariff; thus assist
ing, perhaps unwittingly, the plutoc-
racy to perpetuate existing conditions
which are gradually impoverishing the
people; slowly but surely absorbing all
property, forging the chains of tenant
ry. want, ruin and moral degradation,
which, when contaminated, will bring
the end Of the republic Tex.

help us. If he belongs to one of the
old parties he may become convert
and help boom the peoples party. If
everybody will lend their paper they
can help us and help the peoples party.
The rightful reward of each indi-
viduaPs labor is the product of that
labor, less the amount necessary to
maintain the social organism of which
he is the product The formula should
read thus: Each individual has the
right to the full product of his labor as
against any other individuals; but not
as against society of which he himself
is a member
The question that should most con-
Germ the people is not the tariff, silver,
or whether republicans, democrats or
another party shall control the admin
istration of public affairs, but what
shall we do to establish justice, pro-
mote the public welfare and secure the

(Col.) Coming Crisis.
Looking forward to the possibility
that Harrison may fail to secure the
nomination at Minneapolis, the Globe
Democrat suggests the name of John
Sherman as a capable leader for the re-
publicans. The CD. is right. No
man in the republican party is so emin-
emily qualified as leader for that
party as John Sherman. He has not
only led his party, but the whole
country to the verge of bankruptcy and
ruin by his infamous financial policy,
which will damn his name and his
party. while time lasts. To elect John
Sherman president of the United States
would be the browning act in the great
conspiracy begun in 1861 by the English
money power, and would, if his election
was possible. be the end of American
liberty.

COLORADO POPULISTS.

The Peoples Party of Colorado Holds Its
State Convention to Select Delegates to
Omaha.
The peoples convention of this state
to select delegates to Omaha met at
Pueblo on the 18th ult., and was large
and earnest one. After indorsing the
ST. Louis platform, the free coinage
plank in italics, the following were ap-
pointed: l. G. Berry, editor Industrial
Union, Montrose; jackson Orr, Denver;
D. 81. Waite, editor Union Era, Aspen;
]. A. Wayland, editor Coming Crisis,
Pueblo; James Curtis, of the Royal
Gorge, Canon City; s. Il. Thompson,
Durango; r. A. Southworth, Denver; j.
S. McClelland, Larimer.
The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
For the better protection of productive
labor against the injurious combinations of un-
scrupulous capitalistic employers we believe
that there should be placed upon the statute
books of the state:
1. An eight hour law so framed as to compel
asgeneral observance.
2 A mechanics lien law.
8 An employers liability law.
l. An anti-child labor law.
5. An anti-Pinkerton law.
6 A law forbidding the future sale Of any
coal lands by the state and providing for the
working by the state Of it's own mines upon
such terms as will secure fair wages and hu-
name treatment to miners.
And this convention solemnly pledges this
political organization to enact laws in accord
ance with the spirit Of the above at the earliest
possible moment within its power.
The following resolution called out
an extended debate, but was finally
passed by an overwhelming vote:

or poll tax upon each and every indi-
vidual citizen, of the same uniform
amount per capita, to the end that each
individual citizen may pay an exactly
equal tax for the protection afforded to
the person by the state government.
The humblest and poorest citizen should
receive the same protection and pay as
much therefor as the richest and most
arrogant.
Now as to the land tax.
A tax equal to the full rental valua-
ton, or economic rent should be levied
upon land occupied for business pur-
poses by others than those who own it.
There should be levied a cumulative
graduated tax upon all unused and un-
occupied lands. No other land should
be taxed The graduated cumulative
tax is called graduated" because, COM
mencing at basis rate upon a basis
valuation, it increases in rate per cent.
as the property to be taxed increases in
value. It lis called Cumulative" be-
cause, where an individual or corpora
ton owns more than one piece of land
in any taxing district, the rate of tax
pertaining to the combined valuation
of all the tracts is levied upon each
separate tract. Taking the quantity OF
land that might be considered the proper
amount for home, the basis rate OF
tax should be levied upon the valua-
ton of such quantity of land as indi.
Gated The effect upon holders of large
quantities of land for speculative pur.
poses can easily be surmised. The
rental value tax, as indicated. levied
upon lands occupied for business
purposes by tenants would either
cause such properties to become vacant
