10 THE ALLIANCE BROTHERHOOp.

A Swedish weekly newspaper, to be
published at Llndsborg, Kansas, is about
to be started; paper that will further
the interests Of the people. A stock Or
ganlzatlon has been formed, and the OBJ
ject In view is to raise $5,OO0.O0 sub
scrlbed stock, divided into one thousand
shares at $500 q share. As soon as 3d.
0O0.00 Is raised, the subscribed stock will,
according to the constitution, be col
lected and the company will commence
with the publication Of the paper.
For q long time there has been and
still Is great demand for paper of this
kind, paper published In the Swedish
language, that will advocate the interests
Of the laborers and the farmers. Long has
this demand been seen, but no efforts
have been made to supply 1t. Now is
the time to make it success, and the
paper o. ght to be published as soon as
possible.
Therefore we also solicit our Amerl-
can friends to take q hand In this enter
prise. Anyone who wishes to subscribe
stock, can receive more full information
from our authorized agents, Chas. FERN,
Of LindsbOrg, and NelS Anderson, Of To-
peka. Mr.. Oscar Ostenberg, distric:s

KANSAS FARMERS ALLIANCE AND
TNDUSTRIAL UNION.
PLATFORM


Peoples Party at Wichita.
Resolved, That we, the representatives
Of the Peoples party Of Kansas, in con-
ventlon assembled, ratify the St. Louis
preamble and platform Of principles OF
February 22d, 1892, and reaflrm every
sentence and line Of the same as fully as
though set out herein, and we only de-
sire to add to it by specializing and
emphasizing some of the vital truths
therein expressed.
Resolved, That we believe all leg
islation should be directed to the end Of
securing to the laborer the full fruits Of
his toll, and that the betterment Of his
condition, morally and intellectually,
should be alike purpose OF law. We
therefore denounce all monopolieS Of the
products Of labor, and all monopolies Of
the soil and other natural resources Of
the earth, like the minerals and coal,
and all elements of nature, Ike electric
lty, by the use Of which the human race
through labor subslsts.
Resolved, That we believe that gov
eminent only is good where an injury to
one is the concern Of all; that public
needs should be supplied by public
agencies, and that the people should be
served equally and alike; and that among
other things the government should pro-
vide public telephones and telegraph
lines, and postal currency for con-
venlence in transmitting small sums Of
money, and that as nearly as practicable
the mail of ell the people be delivered
at their homes free.
Resolved, That we favor liberal PEN
sion law, and law making good to the
old soldiers their loss by reason Of pay
ment for services In deprecated cur
rency, and that the government issue
United States notes, full legal tender, to
pay this difference.
Resolved, That we condemn the pres
ent board of railroad assessors for
their action In reducing the valuation Of
the property Of the railroads Of the state,
whereby the burdens of taxation already
imposed upon the people have been un-
justly increased; and we commend the
bold stand taken in congress by the SEN
Stors and representatives Of the Peoples
party in their determined fight against
monopolistlc corporations, and we here
by pledge to them our united support,
and express our unbounded confidence
In their wisdom and ability.
Resolved, That we approve the wise
and progressive legislation passed by the
lower house Of the legislature at It's last
session, and condemn the Republican
senators for non-concurrence In the
same. And especially do we commend the
action Of such house in passing bill pro-
Vlding for the weekly payment Of wages
by all corporate companies, and condemn
the senate for defeating the same; and
we demand that the next legislature
enact such law, and for the benefit Of our
miners we favor the adoption Of the
The advocate., 1892-07-20

Missouri screen law as the law Of this
state.
We condemn the betrayal Of the prom
Ises Of tho Republican party in It's plat
form Of 1890, by Its representatives In the
senate, in defeating by non-action the
Australian ballot bill and the bill proVid-
ing for the election Of railroad commits
sioners by the people, both Of which were
promised in lts platform, and we COM
mend the action Of the Peoples party
representatives In the lower house for
radeemlng their promises to US.
We commend the Peoples party repre-
sentlves In the lower house for the pas
sage of the bill making Plnkerton's
detective system amensble to law; and
for the passage Of the bill prohibiting
the blsckllsting and discharging Of cor
porate employees without an opportunity
to be heard In their defense, and we con-
denim the Republican senate for failing
to pass such bills.
We also favor just and equitable pen
sion laws for the benefit OF railroad en-
ployes who are injured In the company's
service, such pensions to be paid by the
companies, and to be first lien on their
property. We commend the Peoples
party representatives Of the lower house
at the last session in passing the maxi
mum freight rate bill, and condemn the
Republican senate for allowing the same
to die on It's calendar, confident of the
fact that il it had become a law the in
terror cities of the state, which are justly
complaining Of discrimination against
them by the railroads in favor of Missouri
river points, would find the evilremoved,
and we pledge the people In city and
country to remedy the same by leglsla-
tlon.
Resolved, That we favor the abolition
Of the system Of passes In general use by
railroad companies as a species Of favor
ltism dangerous to the freedom Of Amer
lean sovereignty. We favor the election
of United States senators by direct vote
of the people, and favor the submission
to vote Of the people Of Kansas Of an
amendment to the state constitution pro-
vidlng for equal suffrage of all American
citizen without regard to sex.
Resolved, That, although the Peoples
party Of Kansas is largely composed of
farmers, we sympathize with all classes
Of laborers, and will aid them in their
contest for q better system and more
equitable division Of the profits Of their
toll, and we invite their cooperation in
our warfare aQalnt common enemy,

A. At the U. S. Custom House at the

competition. If an English blanket il
worth 81, it is made TO pay duty of 81
cents. This increases the price to $3.50
and enables the home manufacturer to exac
81 80 for his blankets.

force a blanket buyer in West Virginia to
pay tribute like this to blanket manu-
facturcr in Massachusetts
A. 1t is not 1t is very unfair.

A. It does.
@. But are not protective duties levied
