line of the same as though specifically set

the same by enlarging upon and emphaslz-
ing some of the vital truths therein ex
pressed.
Resolved. That we believe that all legis-
lation should be directed to the end of Sc
curing to the laborer the full fruits of his
toll, and that the betterment OF his con.
dition morally and intellectually should
be alike purpose of law. We therefore de-
nounce all monopolies of the products OF
labor, and all monopolies of the soil aud
other natural resources of the earth, like
the minerals and coal, and all elements OF
nature, like electricity, by the use of which
the human race through labor subslsts;
Resolved, That we believe that govern
ment 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 provide pubic
telephone and telegraph lines, and postas
currency for transmission of small sums
of money. and that as nearly as practical
BILE the mail of all the people be delivered
to them at their homes free.

sion law and a law making good to the old
soldiers their loss by reason of payment
for services in deprecated currency, and
that the government issue United States
notes, tull legal tender, to pay this differ
ence.

the board of railroad assessors for their
action in reducing the valuation OF rail-
road property in the state, whereby the
burdens of taxation already imposed upon
the people have been unJustly Increased;
and we commend the bold stand taken III
congress by the senators and representa-
tives of the Peoples party in their deter
mined fight against monopolistic corpora
tions, and we hereby pledge to them our
united support and express our unDound-
ed confidence in their wisdom and ability.

progressive legislation passed by the lower

souri, screen law as the law or this state

al of the promises made by the Repuollcan
party in their platform of 1880, by their
representatives in the senate, in defeating
bv non-action the Australian ballot bill
and the bill providing for the election OF
commissioners by the people, ooCh
of which were promises In their platform,
and commend the action of the Peoples
in the lower house In re-
deeming their promises to US.

of the Peoples party in the lower house
by the passage of the bill making the
Pinkerton Detective system amenable to
law; also the bill abOlishing the black
mailing and discharging employees without
an opportunity to be heard in their defense
and we condemn the Republican senate
for failing to pass such bills.

and we pledge the people IN the city and |
to remedy the same by legislation. !
