 ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb 24.-At the ir- dustral conference today the platform of the committee On resolutions was pre- 5enttd and read, and without taking vote on adoption of the platform a recess of two hours was taken. The platform states that the nation is on :he verge oi moral, political and material ruin; that corruptlan dominates the ballot box,
 legislatures, congress and touches even the ermine Of the bench; new spapers are subsidized or muzz.ed, prblic cpiu ion silenced, business prostrated, homes covered with mortgag IS, labor impoyer- lshed and land and money concentrat- lug In the hands of capitalists working 1t. It further declares it is denied the right of organization for self protectloD; that imported pauperzed labor beat down wages, that a hireling standing army unrecognized by our laws is es- tablIshed to shoot them down, and they will rapidly degenerate to European conditions.
 National power appropriates to en- rich bond hOl lers; silver has been de moneiizsd to aud to tte pauperism pow CT; gold and the supply of currency is purpo2ey abridged to fatten usurer and bankrupt enterprises and enslave industry. Ths resolution declares that the old political parties allowed this to exist without any effort al restraint and therefore it asserts that new political organizations represent ing the political principle herein stated IS necessary. The declaration of priu- ciples is then made.
 The national currency demand is fol what is safe.sound and flexible issued b, the general government, full legal tendeI for all debts, pubic and private, and that without the use of banking corpo- rations or just equitable means uf cir culatlon at tax not to exceed peI cent, as set forth in the sub-treasurl plan of the farmers alliance or some better system; it demands free and un- limited coinage of isiiver, that the amount of circulating medium be speed fly increased to not less than S10 Del capiti and graduated income tax.
