Platform.
NANCE.

First-We demand national currency safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the general gov
eminent only, a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private and that without the use
of banking corporations just, equitable and
efficient means of distribution direct to the
people at a tax not to exceed per cent. be pro-
vided, as set forth in the subtreasury plan of
the Farmers Alliance, or some better system;
also, by payments in discharge of its obGga-
tons for public improvements.
(a.) We demand free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
o. We demand that the amount of circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita.
(c.) We demand graduated income tax.
Id 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 all ma
tional and state revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government eco
nomically and honestly administered.
(e.) We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings of the people and to facil-
itate exchange.
Second-The land, including all the natural
resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for spec
ulative purposes, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens, should be reclaimed by the government
ana held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION.
MISREPRESENTATION being a means Of ex-
change and public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads in the in
terest of the people.
(a.) The telegraph and telephone, like the
postoffice system, being necessity for trans
mission of news, should be owned and oper-
ated by the government in the interest Of the
people.

village attorney, as to demanding the
security for costs, as to the village at
torney's right to start case of this
kind without consulting the council, it
appears to me that in the absence of
instruction from the council, lie would
clearly have the right to do it., as TO
demanding security for costs in the alb
sence of instructions from the council
| should say that he has the right to
say whether or no the person starting
the suit should give security for costs.
No security for costs having been
given, and the case having been
dismissed by order of the village
attorney, the legitimate costs In the
case are for the village to pay.
Howell's statutes, Sec. 2S40 last part,
that will be the justice fees and
the officers for arresting the prisoners
and bringing them into court. / would
not advise the village tn pay the officer
for the care aud custody of the prison
ers from December A, until December
10, 1891, during which time according
to the Record they appeared to be in
his custody.
There is no law or authority that
will justify the prisoners being kept at
the Pulfrey House on expense as long
as they were. If bail was not obtain
able within a reasonable time they
should have been taken to Ithaca where
they would have been we'll provided
for (see latter part of Sec. ,2S39 Howell's
statutes and Sec. 2S40.) If this WAS
not done they should have been dis
charged without delay. No officer Of
of the village had authority to incur
the unauthorized expense of boarding
them for such a length of time at the
Pulfrey House, it was the business of
Pulfrey to see that the officer has au-
look to the village and the village was
not liable for the board bill for the
length of time they boarded there.
AS Mr.. Pulfrey has been paid under
misapprehension of the facts on the
part OF the village, and paid voluntari-
ly and not under protest, without ex-
pressing an opinion whether or not 1t
could be recovered back, / would advise
the village to let it go; all of which is
respectfully submitted.

Howcll's Statutes provides that the

security for the costs or proceedings,
in case tic defendant is acquitted when
the suit is ceaIerced by any person
other than an officer OF the village.
AS the provision is directory cpIy, it
left it discretionary with justice who,

w. A. Bahlke, village attorney re-
ports in writing, in regard to the mat
ter of action being maintained, on the
aforesaid contract.
To the Common Council of the viii
lage of Alma, Mich.
Gentlemen:-I am advised by village
clerk that you desire the contract made
by and between Hamlin & Green and
myself in trust for the village Of Alma
in relation to table factory, etc. and If
| do not wish to let YOU have contract
be permitted to make copy etc, also
my opinion as to whether action can be
maintained on contract etc.
| desire TO say that | did not know
this contract was in my possession until
receiving your notice. | will say that
this contract is the property of the viii
lage and should have been ordered
placed on file with village clerk when
council approved Of it at time of its ac-
ception. | herewith attach it To this
report and cheeTfully place it where it
belongs.
You ask lean any action be main
tanned on it?'
| have just read it over and desire to
say that in the first place do not think
council can prove breach in its pro
visions.yOu will notice that no provision
is made for the length of time they
were to operate the factory and | am
advised that they claim all other pro-
visions have been performed.
Further | report that your honorable
body have heretofore in numerous in-
stances been advised by me that this
sort of contract can not be enforced
by village authorities.
At the time this contract was made
| advised council that they tor the viii
lage had no authority TO make and
beyond the authority of the village to
make or enforce aud that no action
could be maintained for non-perform-
ance and that the village could not DO
in directly what it could not do direct
ly. To these views still adhere which
believe 10 be without doubt the law.
Such being true the contract was void
at its inception. | do not think as |
have often stated that villages under
our charter have any lawful right to
give or grant bonuses to factories etc
for private enterprise in the shape of
bonds or otherwise.
| supposed council fully understood
this before voting as it did, to give
away village bonds, if the village has
suffered loss the blame must rest with
council in assuming to do that which
they have no right or authority To do.
These proceedings are duly justified
by public clamor and the village fully
knew when the vote was taken to issue
these bonds for what purpose they were
TO be used and if mistake has been
made the responsibility in fact rests
with the tax payers whose sanction
was first necessary to carry the scheme
to termination have placed it.
| have some further views that in
due season l desire TO communicate to
council on these questions however |
believe i have fully answered the ques-
tion asked.
