In stated, 10 necessary to redress the
grievances or which we complain.
Assembled ON the anniversary Of the
birth Of the lllustrlous man who led the
first greet revolt on this continent against
oppression, filed with the sentiments
which sctuated that grand generation,
we seek to restore the government Of the
republic to the hands Of the "plsin 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-

money changers out Of the temple, ITO
form a more perfect union, establish JUS
tice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the
general welfare and secure the blessings
Of liberty for ourselves and our pos
terlty," 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 its spirit enter into all hearts for the
salvation Of the republic and the uplift-
Ing of mankind.
Second-W Wealth belongs to him who
creates It. Every dollar taken from In
dustry without an equivalent Ia robbery.
"If any viii not work neither shall he
eat" The interests Of rural and urban
labor are the same; their enemies are
identical.
Third--We demand q 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
porationS, just, equitable means Of cir
culatlon at q tax not to exceed 2per cent.

Fourth-We demand that postal saw

ment for the safe deposit Of the earnings
Of the people and to facilitate exchange.
Flfth-We demand that the amount Of
circulating medium be speedily increased
to not less than $50 per capita.
Slxth-We demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
Seventh-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 national and state
revenues shall be limited to the necessary
expenses Of the government economically
and honestly administered.
Eighth-We demand a graduated in

Nlnth-The land, including all the
natural resources Of wealth, is the her
itage Of all the people, and should not be
monopOlized for speculative purposes,

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Special correspondence of the HERALD.
The situation is such that little !ounda-
ton is laid for prophesy as to the re
suits of the legislation of this session.
The two houses just get fairly to work
and in such order that they do an i'm
mense amount of work i'll a day when
something occurs to disorganize every
thing that the legislature will not be en-
ploycd to advantage more than half the
working days between the commence
ment and the close of this session. OF
course there is a sufficient reason for the
present adjournment to 90 home to vote,
hut to lay aside the important work on
at the time of the Columbus celebrations
was Just as sensible as it would have
been to lay down everything to run after
circus.
The stirring things of the session are
slow in coming. The debate on the bill
providing for mum cipal suffrage for wo-
men created a little ripple. An amend
ment was offered to the bill extending its
provisions so as to enable women to hold
The higher offices in the State. That
would be going beyond constitutional
limitations and was rejected, and the bill
was passed.
The free text book bill is slumbering
with the committee oncducation vet Its
friends expect it will pass, but it may be
cast OF as wait. Many think if it is it
will be a most inhuman act of the State
towards her poor children.

Much discussion is heing had in respect
to some state system of making roads
Col Hooker addressed the members OF
the subject. He confined himself, how
ever, to the science of road making ex
cept as he incidentally invoked the aid o
legislation. His main ideas seemed to b,
first to get the water out of and ava,
from the road, and then next get at TIN
bottom, fill up with rocks and build
permanent road. He had statistics show
ing the cost of so building roads an,
how much would be saved by the per
fnanency ofroads so built He asked 70
a commissioner who would take an in
terest in the subject, who would rcac
road literature, &c, and thought on
could be found who would take the pos
ton without salary, &c.
The appropriation for the big show
is creating a stir. Many think that t
relieve the men who subscribed $1O0eac
would encourage other enterprises an
that men would subscribe and get grca
credit for liberality in the hope that s.
many could influence the legislature t
refund or relieve them and thus cncourag

In June, 1890, Senator Plumb continued
the discussion of this subject. IA follows.

the discussion of this subject, as follows:
Let us see, therefore, how much money
is available for actual use among the
people. From the total of 81, $50, 900, 900,
arrived at as above, must be deducted an
average of $3.50, 100000, which the Treas
ury always keeps on hand, and about
which something has heretofore been said
in the debate on this bill, and that leaves,
as the maximum which can by any pos
sibility be used, $1,S00,0O0,O0O. There
ought, in fairness, to be deducted from
this $l50,000,000 error in estimate of
gold in the country, which would reduce
the money outside the treasury to $780,
100000. From this is to be subtracted
the $500, 100000 kept as reserve, as before
computed, leaving balance of $3.50, 000,-
600, which is available for delivery or use
IN the transaction of the business of all
the people, or a trife over IS per capita.
But the force of my argument is not ma
terialy weakened by conceding the gold
coin to be as estimated by the Treasury
Department, which would leave in actual
circulation s7OO,OOOOOO. In order to
make up this amount all doubt must be
resolved in favor of the Treasury and
against the people, both the doubt as to
the amount of lost and destroyed notes
and that as to the gold supply. If l we're
deciding this case upon what consider
the best evidence, l would be bound to
say that l believed the money in actual
circulation did not much, if at all, exceed
S5OO,OO0,OOO. Upon this narrow founda-
ton has been built the enormous struc-
ture of credit of which have spoken. It
is the greatest of the kind that was ever
built, because it was bnilt by the best
people that ever built anything. Over
twenty thousand millions of debts, the
enormous and widely extended business
of sixty-fye millions of people, all rest
upon and must be served by volume Of
currency which must seem to the most
veteran fnancier as absolutely and dan
gerously small.
