The platform was reported by the com.
mittee, and promptly adopted with hur-
rah. 1t is as follows:
Realizing that the great danger in
American politics today is the corrupt
influence of the saloon system and the
overTeaGhing of the masses by the few
IN their desire for wealth, and that this
is made feasible, largely, through pros.
titutior of the functions Of government,
the prohibition party of Wisconsin, as
sembled IN state convention, this FIRST
day of June, 1892, acknowledging our
reliance upon divine providence and the
sovereignty of American citizenship, do
demand
Il. That thetraffic in intoxicating liz.
uors as a beverage be forever prohibited
aud suppressed, and that all law max.
ing either the federal, state or municipal
governments partners in its profits, be re-
pealed.
% That all money necessary for the
steadily growing trade of the nation be
issued directly by the federal government,
in such form and upon such basis as shalt
give an ample circulating medium that
shall be a legal tender for all debts.
80. That the great lines of transportation
and communication including the tele-
graph and telephone, be controlled by the
government; and we favor also an extern
sion of the free mail delivery system.
a That residents within the nation
for such time, and education to such ex-
tent, as will insure intelligent citizenship
and the ability to exercise suffrage for the
good Of the voter and of the state, precede
the right of franchise; and that no other
restriction should be placed upon the
ballot.
s. That our present laws relating to
highways be amended to the end that the
people may by new system or super Vision
be given thoroughly constructed and per-
mauent public roads.
IS. That all revenues, national as well
as state and municipal, be raised by tax
ing the nations wealth, rather than its
labor; that instead Of the present tariff
system, by which the consumptions of
the masses are taxed TO support the fed
eral government, the raising of revenue
and the protection Of industries--inex-
tricably mingled and confused In our tariff
laws-be forever divorced and d ,alt with
as distinct functions OF government; that
protection when needed be secured by
other and proper legislative or constitu-
tional euactments.
z. We favor liberia! public education
in the English language, enforced and
supervised by the state
% Believing tina the time has come
when good men ought to unite and make
a great national party that snail be domi-
mated by the intelligence, morality and
patriotism of the nation, we invite and
urge all voters of the state to Join with US
IN the present campaign
