THE THIRD PARTY.
A PLATFORM THAT HAS A CALAM-
ATOUs OUTLOOK.

The Country Said to be Going to
Ruin and the method of saving
1t set Forth at length bY the st.
Louis Convention.
ST LOUIS, Feb. 24-At the industrial con
ference today, the report of the platform
committee on resolutions was presented
and read. Without taking vote on the
adoption Of the platform a recess for two
hours was taken. The platform states that
the nation is on the verge of moral, politi-
cal and material ruin; that corruption
dominates the ballot box, legislatures, CON
gress, and touches even the ermine on the
bench; newspapers subsidized or muzzled,
public opinion silenced, business pros
trated, homes covered with mortgages, la
Dor impoverished, and land and money
centering in the hands Of capitalists.
Workmen, it declares, are denied the right
of organization for self-protection; i'm
ported pauperized labor beats down wages,
hireling standing army unrecognized
by our laws, established to shoot
them down and they are rapidly degener-
atlng to European conditions. National
rich bond holders; silver has been demon
etized to add to the purchasing power of
gold and the supply of currency is pur-
posely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprises and enslave industry The
resolution declares that the old political
parties allowed these things to exist with
out effort at restraint and therefore it as
serts new political organization repre-
senting the political principle herein stated
is necessary. The declaration of principles
is then made. A natioual currency is de-
manded that is safe, sound and issued by
the geneaal government only, full legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use of banking COR
porations, with just and equitable means
Of circulation; a tax not to ex-
ceed 2 per cent as set forth in
the Esub-treasury plan of the farmers
alliance or some better system. 1t de-
mands the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and that the amount ofthe cIrculat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita, a graduated in
come tax, that all national and state rev
enues be limited to the necessary expenses
of the government, and that postal savings
banks be esta blished by the government.
The platform declares that land should
not be monopolized for speculative pur-
poses, and the alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All lands now held
by railroads and other corporations in
excess Of their actual need and
all kinds now owned by aliens
should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only. 1t de-
clares the government should own and
operate railroads, telegraph and telephone,
and demands that the government issue
legal tender notes and pay the union
price If deprecated money ia which be

month, the practicabity of converting the Falls
into source Of power, light. heat and lcfrigcri-

will inevitably become the manufacturing centre
Of the Nation. This is the forecast made, not
only by sangunc electricians, but also by shrewd
pactical business men, who have watched the
remarkable progress of the city during the last
decade.
Even without the successful operation of the
tunnel plant at Niagara Buffalo since 1880 has
receipts 1O1 per cent, its lumber shipments l25
per cent its iron receipts 226 per cent and its
coal business 3S7 per cent. The commerce of
the gleat lakes has involved exchanges Of wheat
and coal. All the coal-carrying corporations
have made Buffalo their shipping point for the
West because the grain-laden fleet is available
fer return cargocs. The city is not only the
largest grain-rccciving and coal distributing
centre in the world, but it is also the principal
lumber port Of the country and one Of the great
est livestock and fish markets. With coal, iron
lumber and salt available for the founding of
new industries, il has increased its number OF
manufacturing industries over 200 per cent dur
inc the last decade. These are substantial re-
suits which warrant the conclusion that the sue

into source of electric power will raise the
oopulation Of Buffalo from 300. 900 TO 1000

where electric power costing fraction of either
