Convenient Markets, Good Soil. Pure

Are advantages to be considered when
looking up 3 home, business location,
farm, etc. West Virginia, Maryland and
the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, af-
ford these with many more advantages.
No section of the United States offers gu
perlor opportunities, and persons seeking
q new home should examine these states
before deciding upon a location else
where. Improved farm lands adopted to
stock raising, dalrying, grain, grass and
fruit growing can be obtained at low
prices and upon easy terms. Thriving
towns invite the merchant, mechanic and
business men. Abundance Of coal, ore,

THE ADDRESS.
This, the first great labor conference OF
the United States and Of the world-rep-
reSentlng all divisions Of urban and rural
organized ndustry-assembled In nation
Al congress, invoking upon Its action the
blessing and protection Of Almighty God,
puts forth, to and for the producers OF
thls nation, this declaration Of union and
independence:
The conditions which surround US best
Justify our cooperation. We meet In the
midst Of nation brought to the verge Of
moral, political and material ruin Cor
ruptlon dominates the ballot box, the
legislatures, the Congress, and touches
ayen the ermlne Of the bench. The peo-
ule are demorallzed. Many Of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters
as the polling places in order to prevent
universal intimidation or bribery. The
newspapers are subsidized or muzzled;
public opinion silenced; business pros
trased; our homes covered with mort
cages; labor impoverished, and the land
concentrated in the hands Of capitalists.
The uban workmen are denied the right
of organization for self protection; i'm
ported pauperized labor beats down their
wages; q hireling standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, is established to
shoot them down, and they are rapidly
degenerating to European conditions.
The fruits OF the toll Of the millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal for
tunes, unprecedented in the history OF
the world, while the posSessors despiSe

the same prolific womb Of governmental
Injustice we breed the two great classes

been accepted as coin since the dawn oI
history, has been demonetized to add tt

ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

We demand that the government issue

dlers the difference between the price Of
the deprecated money In which he was
paid and gold.
We demand that the question Of wo.
man suffrage be submitted to the state
and territorial legislatures for favorable
action.
Whereas, The present practice of dealing
or gambling in so-oalled "options and fu-
lures" on the various farm products and
necessaries of life is of national Importance,
and involves not only moral principle but
an economic question, being disastrous and
pernioious to producers and consumers
alike in comparison to which lottery gam
bling sinks into insigniAcance; and
Whereas, Our respectful memorials to
Congress have so far been entirely disre-
garded, now, therefore, be it

grievances or which we complain.
Assembled ON the anniversary Of the
birth Of the lllustrlous man who led the
first great revolt on this continent against
oppression, filed with the sentiments
which actuated that grand generation,
we seek to restore the government Of the
republic to the hands of the ''plain peO-
pie" with whom it originated. Our doors
stand open to all points of the compass.
We ask all honest men to join with and
help us. In order to restrain the eXtor-
tions Of aggregated capital, to drive the
money changers out of the temple, ito
form more perfect union, establish JUS
tlce, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the
general welfare and secure the blessings
Of liberty for ourselves and our pos
terIty," we do ordaln and establish the
following platform Of principles:
First-We declare the union OF the
labor forces of the United States this day
accomplished, permanent and perpetual.
May it's spirit enter into all hearts for the
salvation Of the republic and the uplift-
ing of mankind.
eecond-Wealth belongs to him who
creates It. Every dollar taken from in
dustry without an equivalent Is robbery.
"If any will not work neither shall he
eat" The interests of rural and urban
labor are the same; their enemies are
identical.
Third We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible, issued by the
general government only, full legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use Of banking cor
poratlons, just, equitable means Of cir
culatlon at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent.
as set forth In the sub-treasurY plan Of
the Farmers Alliance or some better
system. Also by payments in discharge
Of its obligations for public improve
ments.
Fourth-We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit Of the earnings
Of the people and to facilitate exchange.
Flfth-We demand that the amount ol
circulating medium be speedily increased
To not less than $50 per capita.
Sixth-We demand the free and un'
limited coinage Of silver.
Seventh-We believe that the money
Of the country should be kept as much al
possible In the hands Of the people, and
hence we demand all national and state
revenues shall be limited to the necessary
expenses Of the government economically
and honestly administered.
Elghth-We demand graduated in
come tax.

natural resources Of wealth, Is the her
itage Of all the people, and should not be
