this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong Is remedied and
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 consummated shall be
permanent and perpetual-may it's spirit enter
into all hearts for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and
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 afe-the same: their enemies
are identical.
We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the peo-
pie or the people must own the railroads, and
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 a 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
and private, and that without the use of bank

system: "lso by payments in discharge of its
obligati for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of

We demand that the amount of the circulate

than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys of the country
should be kept as much as 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-
tablished by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings Of the people and to facl-
itate exchange.
Transportation being a 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
mission of news, should be owned and oper-
a'ed by the government in the interest of the

The land, including all the natural sources

should not be monopolized for speculative pur-

THE PEOPLES PLATFORM.
Adopted in National Convention d
Omaha, July 4, 1892.

Assembled upon the 10th anniversary of the
Declaration of independence, the Peoples
party of America in tn, ir first national con-
vention, invoking upon I cir action the bless
ing of Almighty God, puts forth in the name
and on behalf of the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration of princi-
pies:
our action; we meet in the midst Of a 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 demoralized; 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 q few, unprecedented In the his
tory of mankind, and the possessors of these,
in turn, despise the republic and endanger
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; a 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.
vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on two continents, and 1t is rapidly
taking possession Of the world. II not met
and overthrow at once it forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction Of civilza-
ton or the establishment of an absolute des-
potism.
We have witnessed for more that quarter
of century the struggles of two great politi-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
GUS wrongs nave been inflicted upon 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

restrain them. Neither do they now pr0rnrss
US any substantial relief. They have agreed
together to ignore in the coming campaign
every issue bat one. They propose to drown
the outcries Of plundered people with tie
uproar of sham battle over the tariff SO thai
capitalists. corporations, national banks, rings.
trusts, watered stock, the decentralization of
silver and the oppression of the usurers may
all be lost sight Of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes, lives and children on the altar Of
Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from the million
aire.
Assembled on the anniversary of the BIRTH
day Of the nation, and filled with the spirit of
the grand generation who established our indie
pendence, we seek to restore the government
Of the republic to the hands of 1.-THE plain peo-
ple,r with which class it originated.
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."
We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as a free government while built upon the
love of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it 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, q 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 If given
power We 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 las 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.
While our sympathies as party of reform
are naturally upon the side of every PROPOSE
ton wa1ch will tend to make men intelligent,
virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re-
gard these Questions-impOrtant as they are
as secondary to the great issues now pressing
for solution, and upon which not only our in
dividual prosperity, but the very existence Of
tree Institutions deAends. and we ask all men

Cure for La Grippe.

We clip the following from the
Paola Times: AS la grippe is making
such terrible havoc in it's march
through the country permit me to in
form your readers that the celebrat-
ed Dr. Kelley, of Dwight, ILL.,, has
discovered that asafetida will sure

Since he began it's use he has never
lost a patient nor had one sick
enough to go to bed with it. When
the patient is sick or feeling
symptoms of the disease, he recon-
mends a good-sized pill of asaf@tida
taken four times a day, and less
often as the disease disappears. |

la grippe. and was completely cured
in a very short time, and have
cured my family by it's use, and
many others to whom | have recon-
mended the remedy have been cured
by it alone. 1t is an excellent nerve
tonic and builds up the system

and no bad taste results.

analysis of the causes which have Produced in

results of the continuation OF present social condi-
