The People Can Win Upon This Platform
Keep It Before tho People.

AAC COpAo OAn WIN upon YnlS E10CkOEm
Keep It Before the People.
l. (a) The right to make and issue
money is sovereign power to be main
tanned by the people for the common
benefit: hence we demand the abolition
OF the national banks, and as substi-
tute for national bank notes we demand
that legal tender treasury bills be is
sued in such volume as may be de-
manded, not to exceed the present as
sessed value of improved, productive
real estate, such bills to be legal tender
In payment of all debts. public and
private, and when demanded by the
people to be issued to them at rate
OF tax not to exceed two per cent. per
annum upon improved, productive real
estate, In sums not to exceed the pres
ent assessed value of such real estate.
to) We further demand the establish
ment of United States postal banks in
the cities and principal towns, which
said banks shall be banks of deposit,
exchange and discount, and loan money
at two per cent. interest upon personal
security and upon storage receipts for
non-perishable products. issued from
bonded warehouses and elevators by
state inspectors.
(c). We further demand that the
treasury bills heretofore specified
shall be not promises to pay, but
promises to receive, and shall read as
follows: ''The people of the United
States, severally and collectively,
promise to pay this bill in payment of
debts, public and private, and in ex-
change for labor and products" and
shall be fundable in United States saw
'7gs deposit certificates of convenient
denominations, interconvertible at the
pleasure of the government or holder,
and drawing a rate of interest not to
exceed one per cent per annum.
(d). We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, upon equal terms
with gold, and that silver coin be made
full legal tender, in any amount, for
all debts, public and private.
l want to keep the foregoing plat
form before the people. It is at once a
combination and a compromise, and is,
and yetis not, sub-treasury platform.
1t embodies the land-basis feature of
the sub-treasSry plan and com ines the
essential features of the non-perish3ble
product stipulation of such plan with
the Hill banking system, and yet it
gives to the peoples banks no more
powers or latitude than is now given to
national banks by United States stat
ute. GEORGE G. WARD.
N. B. In Kansas the assessed value
of real estate is about one third of it's
actual value. In Missouri it is about
forty per cent.

Mr.. David Lee has returned from
Colorado much improved in health.

The Epworth League entertain

came off last Friday night, and was
fair to midling. The kissing was the
only part that was done with any de-
gree of vIgor, while the temperate
squire ought to have practiced his
part about six weeks more. The fif-
teen dollars proceeds paid them SO
well for the two months practice that
they have determined to travel and
entertain.
Valentine day was celebrated in an
appropriate style, and all the deserv-
ing boys received suitable pictures
and verses which remined them of
their failures and shortcomings, and
caused not little extra flow of the
useful expressions. One fellow got
something that opened his eyes. 1t

In response to the inVitationi the
young folks of Marvin and vicinity,
met at the house of Mr.. and Mrs. Fer
rens' to celebrate the birthday of their
daughter, Elite. The crust was soon
bro ken and the tongues loosened, and
real social time was enjoyed Mr..
Ferren then announced that as this
was Leap Year the young ladies would
take two plates of refreshments and
invite some gentleman to eat supper
with them. But the girls were equal
to the occasion, for most of them had
brothers there, and got out OF it by
eating with them. The crowd was
next amused by magic lantern ex-
hibition, which, with some music
wound up the exercise. Each guest
left some token of friendship that will
long be treasured by Miss Elite. At
suitable hour the company took
their departure, wishing their hostess
many happy birthdays.

FROM AGRA.

II. Underwood, our new and enter
prising merchant, purchased an acre
property of Q. II. Turner, and has
commenced the work on a neat and
commodious dwelling, and will soon
move his family to town.
Five good farms has changed hands
within the last month in the vicinity
of Agra
j. B. McGrew of Bloomington, Neb.
made us flying visit last week.
One of our new grain dealers has
about completed large and commod-
ious cribs and a neat and tidy scale
house and Office combined.
County Alliance Lecturer of Marvin
had very interesting meeting Fri
day evening, and swelled the circula-
ton of the Topeka Advocate to the
extent of II new subscribers.
Ten years ago there was no such a
thing as a farmers organization IN
Plum township, and about 80 republic
can voters out of 100 since that time.
the farmers have been wide awake to
their interests and have been fore
most in keeping up their organization
and posting themselves as to meas
ures that are calculated to promote
their welfare. And the vote to-day
is about three-fourths IN favor of the
Peoples Party. The combined forces
of all the agriculturists and laborIng
classes of the United States want to
make a party strong enough to down
all other classes combined, two to one.
Such being the case, there is no good
reason why farmers and laborers are
not fairly represented in Legislative
bodies. A legislator is apt to work
to the interest of the class that gave
him his position, and has the power
to keep him there. Agriculture aud
labor is the drive wheel to all bust
ness; why then not organize and cast
our ballot for principles that is sup
posed to be for our universal good
About ten years ago there was but
one farmer in the whole Legislative
body; o-day it is but little better. Il
lawyers, doctors, railroads and capt.
tallsts have exclusive control, it Is not
to be wondered at that farmers inter
ests are neglected. In 1890 the rail-
roads got more for ii ansportation on
corn, than the farmer of western Kan
sas did for raising it and hauling it to
market. The manufacturer claims
he cannot manufacturer an article for
less than SO much; he asks a royalty
and he generally gets it, sometimes
direct in the shape of bounty, some
times under the guise Of tariff. We
cannot raise corn with a profit for less
than rs cents per bushel; but if We
sell our corn we have to sell for what
ever the market will afford or the
price that grain gamblers see fit to Of
fer. Why not try the sub-treasurJ
plan as a remedyz OBSERVER.

of prisons, insane asylums. invalids
and idiots, when as a matter of fact n
vast majority of the families in onr
country don't make $3.50 all told each
year. The result is, that interest is
not paid in money, but the vast debts
OF our country, like the famous mael-
strom, swallow up the property of the
people. Hence the farms are going
to this slnkhole by the thousand wear
by year. Running on in these old
ruts, slavery Is our certain doom.
Telling the people that high tariff or
low tariff will be remedy, is giving
them a stone for bread. And the
dumb people will find it out bye and
bye.
1t is not safe, Mr.. President. to bank
on the ignorance of the people much
longer. For ages labor has been the
under dog because of ignorance, but
now the laborer is getting his blind
eyes open to see his rights and de-
mand them. Mr.. President, don't be
deceived by the silly talk that this
Peoples Party movement, this ''ers.ze''
this calamity howl" is spasmodic,
ephemeral, andsBill soon pass. You
may as well dismiss that idea at once
aud forever. It would be as easy to
make the Mississippi river run toward
the north pole as to stop this ''howl''
until the people get justice.
No government can count on the
great God unfolding them in oppres-
sion and injustice.
We tried to enlist him in our sys-
tenn of chattel slavery, but it did not
work. We said, and made millions
believe the lie, that it was divine in
stitution. But the Lord said no. We
are now saying by our laws and prac-
tice, that usury is right. Out of this
has come untold millions of debts.
From it comes trusts, combines, mon
opolles, the concentration of wealth,
and slavery. Mr. President, you oc-
cupy very responsible position.
Scarcely any president of the repub-
lie, not even Mr.. Lincoln, ruled in a
more critical time. Industrial slavery
must go. The war between capital
and labor will end in the emancipa-
ton of labor. 1t lays very much in
your power to decide whether it ends
peaceably or IN violence. Nothing
would be more appropriate now, than
LOL yOu dS d CItl6I uddS lSbTdJ0 10 dp-
point national fast day, and call up
on the people to assemble in their
churches, and as ask God to help the
nation to put itself in harmony with
the divine law. National sins are pun
ished by national calamities unless
repented of, and turned away from.
Our nation can be no exception. We
persisted in holding a poor, weak peo-
pie in bondage. There was no need
of drop of blood being shed, but we
would have it so. Now labor is IN
shackles bound hand and foot Will
you, Mr.. President, use your high of
fee and influence in having these
chackles removed peaceably7 Will
you issue another emancipation proc
lamation in the name of the republic
and of God, breaking every yoke
and letting the oppressed go free"
In So doing you will have the omni-
potent God to help carry it through
for no attribute of His takes sides
with the reign of the money power in
our country nor the world.

JERRY SIMPSON arranged the old
parties in the house last week on a
charge of extravaganza of public ex-
penditures and insisted that the par
ties were ignoring the principal leg
islation of the session in order to pro-
vide lucrative positions for favored
henchmen of the dominant parties.
The question of expenditure came
up under a resolution reported by the
committee on accounts to appoint
Walter E Halleck, az ex-Union vet
eran to the position of assistant door
keeper of the house. Abiding to the
times this session when resolutions
for additional employees had been
passed, Mr.. Simpson charged the two
leading parties with log rolling on
these occasions and dividing addition
al positions equally between demo-
Gratis and republicans. 1T appears"
said Mr.. Simpson, that Legislation is
lost sight of in this attempt to Inaug-
urate new system of reciprocity
Laughter The Democratic and
Republican parties have adopted a
new reciprocity in this house in voting
to each other additional employees.
Why, Mr.. Speaker, I have a constlt-
uent of my own here from the state
of Kansas who has done more for
this country in regard to valuable SER
vices rendered in the war than any
man recommended to position by this
congress. He actually saved the army
of Gen. Pope from destruction in '62
and saved the city of Washington
from capture by the rebel army.
Great laughter. He was man in
the employ of the secret service and
went through the lines into Richmond,
entered the rebel army, becoming spy,
and got intelligence that would save
the army of Pope. As soon as he OBJ
tanned the intelligence he deserted,
came through the rebel lines, swan
the river, got across safely and infor-
med General Pope of the danger
which menaced him and he has evid-
ence to show for it bearing the sigma
lures of Generalds Pope and Siegel
on it. [Applause.l Notwithstanding
this fact, I have been unable to OBJ.
tain even a messengers position fol-
that man, simply because he does not
belong to the party in power, simply
because he is neither a Democrat mol
a Republican Yet the great con.
gress of the United States has beer
consuming two or three days together
IN making positions for some men be-
cause of the fact that mem bers on one
side or the other want to get theiI
friends ia Office"
MIR. Simpson was interrupted by
frequent cries of "put him on the
roll, !" ''amend the resolution" and s'hs
saved the Union" but the speech Of
the gentlemen of Kansas had the eff
feet of overwhelmingly defeating the
resolution.

that Hon. John Bissell of this city,
will be a candidate from this county

action of the Republican Congresslon-
