OUR AUTHORITY"

BY what authority does the jackson
LEADER combine the Prohibition and
Peoples parties? The State COnven-
ton of the Peoples party and its Ma
tional Convention refused to insert a
Prohibition plank in its platform.
The National Convention of the Pro-
hibition party refused to combine
with any other party. Therefore un-
der whose authority is the LEADER
running a double -barrelled combina-
itiOn?-YasOO City Herald.
The LEADER desires no other au-
thority than the command of God and
the demands of the people. 1t has
simply combined the two and on that
"authority" will continue to plead for
an honest government, run in the in
tercst of the people. In view, how
ever, of the following resolution,
which was unanimously passed by the
State Peoples party convention, the
LEADER is not quite so lonely as the
Herald would have MS believe:
Resolved, by the Peoples party of
Mississippi, in Convention assembled,
June %, 1892, That we are in full sym
pathy with the Prohibition movement
in the United States, and recommend
to the National Convention such action
as they think will advance the Tenn
perance cause.

The ocaIa Demands.

Ia. We demand the abolition of national
banks.
b. We demand that the government shall
establish Sub-Treasuries or repositories In the
several States, which shall issue money direct to
the people at low rate of interest not to eX-
ceed per cent per annum, on non-perishable
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality OF land and
the amount of money.
c. We demand that the amonnt of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
q That we demand that Congress shall pass
such laws as win effectaally prevent the dealing
in futures of all agricultural and mechanical
productions providing a stringent system OF
procedure in trials that viii secure prompt
conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law.
g. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand IN lieu thereof the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
T. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting
allen ownership OF land, and that Congress take
prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all
lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates, and that all lands now held by railroads
be reclaimed by the government, and held for
actual settlers only.
3. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights TO
all, and special privileges to none, we demand
a. That our national legislation shah be so
framed In the future as not to build up one In
dustry at the expense Of another.
b. We further demand removal OF the exist
ing heavy tariff tax from the necessities of life,
that the poor OF our land must have.
c. We further demand Just and equitable
system of graduated tax on incomes.
d. We believe that the money OF the country
should be kept as much as possible In the hands
OF the people. and hence we. demand that all
national and State revenues shall be limited 70
the necessary expenses OF the government econ
omically and honestly administered.
Q. We demand the most rigid, honest and Just
State and national governmental control and
supervision OF the means OF public e0nlnti-
nicafion and transportation, and II this con-
troll aud supervision does not remove the abss-
es now existing, we demand the government
ownership OF such means OF communication
and transportation.
I. We demand that the Congress OF the United
States submit an amendment to the Constitution
providing for the election Of United States
Senators By direct vote Of the people Of each
State.

Ex-Speak Reed wishes to show the
country how much his congress ac-
complished, and how little the present
House has performed. Reed is a great
fellow to boast about attending to the
business of the public. He assumed
about three-fourths of the power of the
House, ON the plea, that he wants the
House to s'attend to the business of
the country" His reference to his
House is characteristic of the man, for
he has cheek as big as that of Gov
ernment mule. His House squandered
a billion of dollars, passed the Nc
Kinley bill and the Force bill. All
these things we're overwhelmingly re-
pudiated by the people at the first elec-
tion. Yet the cheeky fellow invites a
comparison with the work of the pres
ent conservative, economical House.
Vicksburg Commercial Herald.
While not wishing to pose as de-
fender of the Reed Mckinley billion
dollar congress we would respectfully
call the attention of our esteemed
neighbor to the following matter OF
history. The first session of the Fifty
second congress with its 40 Democrat
ic majority in the House, has equaled
the expenditures of the first session of
the Reed Mex Kinley congress. The Com
mercial- Herald is either ignorant of
facts or uncandid in dealing with them.

Competent judges estimate that 81
per cent. of the business transacted in
this country is done on credit. The
Secretary of the Treasury reports that
there are 81, 1,600,O 100000 in circulation.
In order to do the entire, or 100 per
cent. of the business of the country on
cash basis, il win be necessary to
have just 12ls times more money than
we now have. This would give $4,000
100000 as the amount necessary to do
the business OF the country on strict
ly cash basis. Our great l?) financiers
must blink this fact square In the face.

Whatever may be thought of the

it is well occasionally to have the fact

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas, the general condition OF our corIn-
try imperatiyely demands unity of action on
the part of the laboring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encOur-
aging the toiling masses-leading them in
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, just ex-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
nf
principle that all monopolies are dangerous to
the best interest OF our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies:
l. To labor for the education of the agricul-
tural classes in the science of economical gov
ernment, in strictly nOn-partisan spirit and
bring about more perfect union of said
classes.
q That we demand equal rights to all, and
special favors to none.
g. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sential, unity; and In all things charity.
L. To develop a better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
g. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
g. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
q The brightest jewels which 1t garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to ass,iage
the suffering of brother or a sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
phans to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. OF the Farmers Alliance and indus

and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, THURSDAY. JULY %, 1892.
session, Dec. 10, 1891, passed this
resolution:

session, Dec. 10, 1891, passed this
resolution:
"Resolved 10y tile Iowa State Grange
That we are unalterably opposed to
the repeal or modification of the laws
tn secure the prohibition of the man
ufacturc and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in this State, and that the Sec
retary he instructed to place n copy of
this resolution in the hands of Bro.
c. +. Spearman, member of the Iowa
Legislature, for presentation to the
Legislature"
State Master n. b. Douglass, of the
Massachusetts State Grange, in his
annual address, Dec. Is, 1891, says:
~ believe the time has come when
the Grange should take an advanced
position upon the great question. To-
day there are laws upon our statute
book that are disgrace to the civili-
zatiOn of the nineteeth century, that
were enacted under the spacious plea
that they were for the benefit of the
farmer. 1t is time that we, as repre-
sentative farmers, put ourselves upon
record as opposed to any aud all laws
that tear down the homes and de-
grade and paupeiize the people. As
the law now stands any person may
sell at any time, in any quantity,
cider not to he drank on the prem
lses.
Is it necessary that this devils
kindling wood be sold by irresponsi-
bic parties everywhere in order to
give the farmer market for few in
ferior apples? Would it not be wise
to look after adulterated vinegar
which is driving out the legitimate
product of cider, and thus secure
market for cider that shall not be
curse to the people of the common
wealth."
This portion of the address was re-
ceived with great applause.
1t remains to be seen if the farmers
of the nation will give their support
to a political party which, stands
solemnly pledged to suppress
an evil which one of their lead
ing and most respected organizations
declares to be "the enemy of the
farmer" laying heavy burden of
taxes "upon him." and whose hun
dreds of thousands of members are
urged to ''do all in their power as
law abiding citizens to blot it out as
the plague spot of the nation"
