Wilson said the most important ques-
tions we're taxation and tariff reform,
They could only be rightfulIy regulated
by. the Democratic party. Wilson said
much as we owe to our party, we owe
more to our country; that the Democrats
should see that tho legislation is not in
the interests of any section, but to the
whole people. He denounced the Force

Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor
under the present system, which opens
our ports to the pauper and Grimm al
classes Of the world, and crowds out
wage-earners, and we denounce the e
present ineffective laws against con-
tract labor, and demand the furthe er
restriction OF undesirable immigra-
ton.
Resolved, That we cordially SYM
pathize with the efforts of organized
workingmen to shorten the hours of
labor, and demand a rigid enforce
ment of the existing eight hour law
on general work, and ask that special
clause be added to said law.
Resolved, That we regard the main
tcnance of large standing army of
mercenaries, known as the Pinkerton
system, as n menace to our liberties,
and we demand its abolition and we
condemn the recent invasion of the
Territory of Wyoming by the hired
assassins of plutOcracy, assisted by
Federal officers.
Resolved, That we commend to the
thoughtful consideration of the people,
and the reform press, the legislative
system known as the initiative and
referendum.
Resolved, That we favor consti-
tutional provision limiting the Office
of president and vice-president to one
term, and providing for the election
of senators of the United States by a
direct vote of the people.
Resolved, That we oppose any sub
sidy or national aid to any private
corporation for any purpose.
When the first paragraph, that re-
lating to the force bill and the Austria
liam ballot system, was read, IA delegate
moved to lay it on the table. They
had the st. Louis platform,

but was beaten most decisively on a
vote, nearly the whole convention
voting no. The immigration plank
and the anti-Pinkerton plank were ap-
plauded loudly.

The Ocala 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 a 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 will effectualy prevent the dealing
In futures of all agricultural and mechanical
productions providing a stringent system OF
procedure In trials that will secure prompt
conviction, and imposing suchpenalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law.
8. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand In lien thereof the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
q. We demand the passage OF laws prohibiting
alien 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, aud held for
actual settlers only.
i 3. Believing In the doctrine Of equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none, we demand
a. That our national legislation shall be 50
framed in the future as not 10 build up one In
dustry at the expense Of another.
\ b. We further demand a 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 al
national and state revenues shall be limited %
the necessary expenses of the government econ
omicaly and honestly administered.
/ d. We demand the most rigid, honest and lusi
state and national governmental control and
SUPERVISION Of tho means OF public eommu
nieafion and transportation. and II this con
troll and supervision does not remove the abus
81 now existing, we demand the government
ownership Of such means OF c0mmumcauol
and transportation.
y we demand that the Congress Of the United
| states submit an amendment 20 the Constitution
providing for the election OF United States
Senators by direct vote Of the people OF eaei
state.

We note some Democratic news
papers are endeavoring to defend the
past actions of Tammany Hall. The
hinges on the gateways to hell are
not blacker than the record of Tam

who would undertake to defend the
record of the Devil himself, If he were
only nominated by the party for Office
and lots of professed Christians would
throw up their hates and vote for him.

A Plan Which the Political World is
Watching.

As an innovation in practical poll
tics. the style of canvass adopted by
the Prohibitionists is worth watching.
To get one million pledges is one
thing and to poll one million votes is
perhaps quite another. Be that as it
may, the Prohibitionists are an earnest
set of people, and they seem to be un-
daunted by their slow advance in past
Presidential contests or by the reac-
tiOn against Prohibitory laws i'm Kan
sas, Iowa and elsewhere. They have
kept their organization intact while
other third parties have arisen, hur-
ralled and died, and now that they
bob mp once more with their usual
serenity and enthusiasm and enter
themselves for the next race they are
entitled to their merited share of ap-
plause from the grand stand. .-Aaa-

The following is the full text of the
platform adopted by the Peoples
Party in the National Convention at
Omaha, July 4th:
Assembled on the one hundred and
sixteenth anniversary of the Declara-
tion of Independence, the Peoples
party of America, in their first Ma
tiOnal convention, invoking upon their
action the blessing of Almighty God,
puts forth in the name and on behalf
of the people of this country the fol-
lowing preamble and declaration of
principles:
The conditions which surround us
best justify our co operation ; we meet
in the midst of nation brought to
the verge of moral, political and ma
terial ruin. Corruption dominates
the ballot box, the Legislatures, the
Congress, and touches even the ermine
of the bench. The people are demor-
allied most of the States have been
compelled to isolate the voters at the
polling places to prevent universal.
lntiliIluutlOH VI uiiutiy hhO hOho
papers are largely subsidized or muz-
zled public opinion silenced bust
ness pros:rated, our homes covered
with mortgages, labor impoverished,
and the land concentrating in the
hands of the capitalists. The urban
wOrkmen are denied the right of OF
ganization for self protection import
ed, pauperized labor beats down their
wages hireling standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, is established
to shoot them down and they are rap
idly degenerating into European
conditions. The fruits of the toll of
millions are boldly stolen to build up
colossal fortunes for a few, unprece-
dented in the history of mankind, and
the posse ssOrs of these inturn despise
the republic and endanger liberty.
From the same prolific womb of
governmental injustice come the two
great classes-tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money
is appropriated to enrich the bond
holders; a vast public debt payable in
legal tender currency has been funded
into gold bearing bonds, thereby add
ing millions to the burdens of the
people.

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas the general condition of our c0un-
try imperatively 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
greatest amount of good We hold to the
principle that all monopolies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people and subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princ-
pies:
1. 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.
2. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special favors to none.
3. To endorse the motto; "In things es-
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
s. 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.
Z. The brightest jewels which 1t garners, are
the tears OF the widows and orphans, and It's
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
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
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, its intention is ION earth,
peace and good will to man."

Silver. which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has
been demonetized to add to the pur-
chasing power of gold by decreasing
the value of all forms of property, as
well as human labor, and the supply
of currency is thereby abridged to
fatten usurers and bankers by the
slave industry. A vast conspiracy
against mankind has been organized
on two continents, and it is rapidly
taking possession of the world. 1T not
overthrown at once, it forebodes ter
rible social commissions, the destruc-
tion of civilization and the establish
ment of an absolute despOtism. We
have witnessed for more than a
quarter of century the struggles OF
the two great political parties for
power and plunder, while grieyous
wrongs have been inflicted upon the
suffering people. We charge that the
controlling influences dominating both
these parties have permitted the ex-
listing dreadful conditions to develop
without serious effort to prevent or
restrain them. Neither do they now
promise us any substantial reform.
They have agreed together to ignore
in the campaign every issue but one.
They propose to drown the outcries
of plundered people with the uproar
of a sham battle over the tariff so that
capitalists, corporations, national
banks. rings, trusts, watered stock,
the demonetization of silver and the
oppression of the usurers may all be
lost sight of. They propose to sacri-
fee our home, lives and children ON
the altar of mammon to destroy the
multitude in order to secure eorrup-
ton funds from the millionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation, filed with the
spirit of the grand generation which
established our independence, we seek
to restore the government of the Re-
public to the hands of "the plain peo-
ple,n with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national con-
stitution, sto form a more perfect
uni )n, establish justice, insure domes-
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty fol
ourselves and our posterity
We declare that this Republic can
/ only endure as a free government
while built upon the love of the whole
people for each other and for the
nation that it cannot be pinned

Mr.. Woodwork was told by this

he had discovered and sent some to
