It's q SWindIe.

The Conway Log Cabin thus
warns school directors against
swindlers now in the State:
A scheme which many we'll in
formed people consider great
sw indie on the school districts of
the State is now being worked. At
the suggestion of State Supt. Shinn
the last Legislature passed an act
permitting school districts to pur-
chase S25 worth of school appara-
tus. Now agents are going all over
the State selling gullible school di-
rectors chart for $25. This.amount
is paid out of the fund due the dis
trict. Those who claim to know
say the chart is not worth $40, if
needed and it is doubtful if the dis
tlicts need it.
The agents make directors in
many districts believe that they
are required by this act Of the leg
islature to purchase this chart. The
law is misleading in the first place
and was doubtless instigatod by
schemers who are now reaping
rich harvest from the swindle. The
directors are not required to buythis
stuff and we hope some citizen in
each district will enjoin the pay
ment of the peoples money for
such purpose. They could pre-
sent the payment on the ground of
want of consideration and false rep
resentation.

have republic to administer before we differ

this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong Is remedied and
equal rights and equal privileges securely es-
tablished for al the men and women of this
country.
We declare. therefore
That the union of the labor forces of the
United States this day contaminated shall be
permanent and perpetual -may its spirit enter
into all hearts for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
every dollar taken from industry without an
equivalent is robbery. IF any will not work
neither shall he eat" The interests of rural
and civic labor are the same: their enemies
We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the peo-
should the government enter upon the work Of
owning and managing any or all railroads we
should favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the government
service shall be placed under civil service
regulation of the most rigid character, SO as
to prevent the increase of the power Of the
national administration by the use of such
additional government employees
We demand a national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general government
only; full legal tender for all debts public
apd private, and that without the use of bank
ing corporations; a just equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the people, at
a tax not to exceed per cent. per annum, to
be provided as set forth in the subtreasury
plan of the Farmers Alliance, or some better
system: psO by payments in discharge of its
obligati 5 for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
10 to l.
We demand that the amount of the circulate
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand n graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys of the country
should be kept as much rs possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses OF the gov
eminent economically and honestly admins
tered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
post of the earnings Of the people and to facil-
itate exchange.
Transportation being means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
office system, being necessity for the trans
mis- >ion Of news, should be owned and oper-
a. ed by the government in the interest of the
yeople.
The land including all the natural sources
Of wealth. il the heritage of all the people, and
should not be monopoliZed for speculative pur-
poses. and an alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by rail
roads and other corporations in excess Of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned ~
aliens should be reclaimed by the government
and held 10, actual settlers only.

ARE.
Assembled on the anniversary Of the BIRTH
day Of the nation, and filed with the spirit Of
the grand generation who established our indie
pendence, we seek to restore the government
Of the republic 10 the hands Of 1.-THE plain peo-
ple,r with which class it originated. ,in..-
We assert our purposes to be identical with
the purposes Of the national constitution-to
form a more perfect Union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our posterity." ,..4.s, ,t q u,t
We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as free government while built upon the
love Of the whole people for each other and
FOR the nation; that 1t cannot be pinned tn
gether by bayonets; that the civil war is over
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF it must die with it. and that we
must be in fact, as we are in name, a united
brotherhood of free men.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent In the
history Of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions Of dollars in
value, which must within few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions Of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply is wholly made
Quate to make this exchange. The results are
falling prices the formation of combines and
rings and the impoverishment of the producing
classes. We pledge ourselves that IL given
power will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of government
in other words, of the people-should be ex-
banded tas in the case of the postal service) as
rapidly and as far as the good sense of an in
telligent people and the teachings Of expert
ence shall justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in
the land.

are naturally upon the side Of every PROPOSE

virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re-

Declaration of Independence, the Peoples
party of America in tn, ir first national con-
vention, invoking upon / cir action the bless

and on behalf of the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration of princi-
pies:
The conditions which surround us justify
our action; we meet in the midst of q nation
brought to the verge of moral, political and
material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal
lot box, the legislatures. the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench. The
people are demoraized; most of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters at
the polling places in order to prevent universal
intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our homes COW
cred with mortgages, labor impoverished and
the land concentrating In the hands of the
capitalists. The urban workmen are denied
the right Of organization for self protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down their
wages: a hireling standing army, unrecog-
nized by our laws, is established to shoot them
down, and they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions. The fruits Of the toll Of
millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal
fortunes for a few, unprecedented In the his
tory of mankind, and the pOssessors Of these,
In turn, deSplSe the republic and endang0r
liberty. From the same prolific womb Of gov
ernmental injustice we breed the two great
classes-tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is ap-
propriated to enrich bondholders; vast pub
lie debt, payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens Of the people.
Silver, which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonetized to
add to the purchasing power of gold by de-
creasing the price of all forms Of property as
well as human labor. The supply of currency
is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprise and enslave industry.
A vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on two continents, and 1t Is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not met
and overthrow at once 1t forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction of civiza-
ton or the establishment of an absolute des-
potism. ~
We have witnessed for more that quarter
of q century the struggles of two great polti-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted upon a suffer-
ing people. We charge that the controlling
influences dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious efforts to prevent Or

Letter from Bro. Taber.

Bro. CHAMpE: see Bro. Jasper
j. Brown has been larruping you
for using the not quite obsolete
words, "hell" and "devil." Now.
will Bro. Jasper please stand up and
show cause why his loving brother,
w. Jasper Taber, should not spank
him for interfering with the rights
of others | am aware of the fact
that the words "hell" and "devil'
were invented to serve purpose,
and that they have served that pur-
pose with bloody vengeance also,
that certain class presume to claim
a proprietary right in said words,
either as inventors or legatees, but
l think they have been in use long
enough to become public property,
and | know of no better way to
convey meaning to people than in
the language with which they are
most familiar
Now, dear Brother Jasper, if hell
should get you or the Devil should
take you, would you be worse off
than you are now Think Of Gro
yer the Fat, John Sherman. Dan
Voorhees, and Jack A. G. Carlisle
before you answer.
l have been investigating the
Devil from information received
from all sources, and have concluded
that be is quite progressive--ln
fact, a thorough reformer nothing
conservative, groveling or servile
about the Devil. But for the timely
lesson that he gave Mother Eve
when he discovered her in the gar
den in her native purity, primitive
grace and beauty unadorned, Grover
the Fat might now be hanging by
his tail to the limb of tree while
clawing around for nuts, or sitting
beside the sea with his tail in a
hole in the sand, fishing for crabs.
