PLATFORM

ventlon assembled, ratlfy the st. Louis
preamble and platform of principles OF
February 22d, 1892, and reaffirm every
sentence and line of the same as fully as
though set out herein, and we only de-
sire to add to it by specializing and
emphasizing some Of the vital truths
therein expressed.
Resolved, That we believe all leg
islation should be directed to the end Of
securing to the laborer the full fruits of
his toll, and that the betterment Of his
condition, morally and intellectually,
should be alike purpose Of law. We
therefore denounce all monopolies Of the
products of labor, and all monopolies OF
the soil and other natural resources OF
the earth, like the minerals and coal,
and all elements of nature, like electric
ity, by the use of which the human race
through labor subsists.
Resolved, That we believe that gov
ernment only is good where an injury to
one Is the concern Of all; that public
needs should be supplied by public
agencies, and that the people should be
served equally and alike; and that among
other things the government should pro-
vide public telephones and telegraph
lines, and a postal currency for con-
venience in transmitting small sums of
money, and that as nearly as practicable
the mail of all the people be delivered
at their homes free.
Resolved, That we favor liberal PEN
sion law, and law making good to the
old soldiers their loss by reason of pay
ment for services in deprecated cur
rency, aud that the government issue
United States notes, full legal tender, to
pay this difference.
Resolved, That we condemn the pres
ent board of railroad assessors for
their action In reducing the valuation Of
the property Of the railroads Of the state,
whereby the burdens of taxation already
imposed upon the people have been un-
justly increased; and we commend the
bold stand taken in congress by the SEN
ators and representatives Of the Peoples
party in their determined fight against
monopolistic corporations, and we here
by pledge to them our united support,
and express our unbounded confidence
in their wisdom and ability.
Resolved, That we approve the wise
and progressive legislation passed By the
lower house of the legislature at Its last
session, and condemn the Republican
senators for non concurrence In the
same. And especially do we commend the
action of such house in passing bill pro-
viding for the weekly payment Of wages
by all corporate companies, and condemn
the senate for defeating the same; and
we demand that the next legislature
enact such law, and for the benefit of our
miners we favor the adoption of the
Missouri screen law as the law of this
state.
We condemn the betrayal Of the prom
ises Of the Republican party In Its plat
form of 1890, by its representatives in the
senate, in defeating by non-action the
Australian ballot bill and the bill provid-
Ing for the election of railroad commits
sioners by the people, both of which were
promised in It's platform, and we COM
mend the action of the Peoples party
representatives In the lower house for

porate employees without an opportunity
to be heard in their defense, and we con-
denim the Republican senate for failing
to pass such bills.
We also favor just and equitable PEN
sion laws fox the benefit Of railroad en-
ployes who are injured In the company's
service, such pensions to be paid by the
companies, and to be first lien on their
property. We commend the Peoples
party representatives of the lower house
at the last session in passing the maxi
mum freight rate bill, and condemn the
Republican senate for allowing the same
to die on its calendar, confident of the
fact that if it had become law the in
terror cities of the state, which are justly
complaining of discrimination against
them by the railroads in favor of Missouri
river points, would find the evil removed,
and we pledge the people In city and
country to remedy the same by leglSla-
tlon.
Resolved, That we favor the abolition
of the system of passes in general use by
railroad companies as a species Of favor
ltism dangerous to the freedom of Amer
lean sovereignty. We favor the election
of United States senators by direct vote
of the people, and favor the submission
to a vote Of the people Of Kansas of an
amendment to the state constitution pro-
viding for equal suffrage of all American
citizen without regard to sex.
Resolved, That, although the Peoples
party of Kansas is largely composed of
farmers, we sympathlze with all classes
Of laborers, and will aid them In their
contest for a better system and more
equitable division Of the profits of their
toll, and we invite their cooperation In
our warfare againt common enemy.

Hens says e. +. Taylor, ''are vocal

The stranger who visits Great Falls
for the first time cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with its remarkable growth. A

a thriving and prosperous city with thou
sands of inhabitants there was scarcely
a dwelling to be seen. The Missouri is
now spanned by bridges for the railroad.

factories line the banks of the stream, a
short distance north are located the
great smelters and refining plants, and on
the opposite side the Great Northern
Railroad company has it's repair shops
and construction plant, this being the
headquarters of the great t%ransconti-
mental line.
Volumes might be written of the re-
sources Of the city, but it is not the pol
at heart, o will it be the policy of the
tribune, to present anything but facts
which may be easily verified.
One of the most noticeable features of
the city's prosperity is the large number
of buildings now in process of construc-
ton while work on others will begin at
an early day. People who come to the
city to reside find that dwelling houses
are difficult to procure. though there
are some to be had. More building is at
present being done in Great Falls than
in any other city in the state. and it is
not thought amiss to say that the build
ing in progress here is in excess of all
the other cities combined.
Yesterday the TRIBUNE mentioned the
presence in this city of Mr.. l.. q. Phelps.
of Helena, and the object of his visit was
to consult with MI. Dickerman in re-
gard to the building of a handsome block
on the corner of Third street north and
Central avenue. The lot has a frontage
on Central avenue of se~venty-five feet
and is $50 feet deep. A two story brick
is to be erected and the structure will be
both substantial and imposing. The
cost is estimated at $4,000.

ST. PAUL. March 30.-Colonel Merritt
Barber, assistant adjutant general, who
is directly in charge of military affairs
during the absence of General Merritt
in the East, has given directions to
Colonel E. c. Mason, Third infantry, to
despatch on April two companies of
infantry to the reservation, and directed
Colonel William F. Drum, Twelfth in
fantry, commanding at Fort Yates, to
send two troops of cavalry on
the same date for the same destination.
Colonel Barber has not deemed
any undue haste as necessary, and in is
suing his orders has done so with this
understanding. The infantry from
Fort Smelling will arrive at their des-
tination on April 2, and the cavalry
from Fort Yates, which will march
from the fort to Mandan, go thence by
the Northern Pacific railroad to Fargo,
and from there to Browns Valley and
along as rapidly as the route and dis
lance will admit. 1t is believed that
the services of the military will not be
required much beyond the middle OF
next month, for the moment the formal
announcement of the opening of the
reservation is made the troops will very
likely return to their stations.

MUCH DAMAGED GRAIN.
Ten Million Bushels of Stacked Wheat
Lost in the Red River Valley.

Ten Million Bushels of Stacked Wheat
Lost in the Red River Valley.
CRooKsToN, Mimi, March 30.-The
time has come when one can estimate
the damage done to the wheat crop of
last year by reason of the inability Of
farmers to thresh before winter set in.
In the Red River valley, both in Mime
sofa and Dakota, there are large areas
where the wheat Is in stack and limited
areas where the same is in shock. The
grain in shock is already given up, so
far as marketable wheat is concerned,
and the stacked is in little, if any, bet
ter condition. The farmers say that
the great storms and the extreme cold
has filed the stacks to the center with
snow and ice; that there is ne portion
of the stacks free from ice and frost in
sufficient quantities to thoroughly wet
and soak the grain when it melts.
Everyone seems satisfied that as soon as
the weather gets warm all these stacks
will heat and the grain be destroyed.
At least 0,000,00 bushels in the Red
River valley must be counted as lost.
