favorably known decorators of the day
The shades Of color used extend from pale
yellow to the blush greens that are dark

metal are variously used to produce the ef-
fects desired. The woodwork is of oak with
a greenish cast. the ceiling being crossed
by beams OF the wood. The hooded mantel
IL supported by columns Of glass mosaic.

green marble. with leather cushions, also

Declaration of independence, the Peoples

vention, invoking upon cir action the bless
tag of Almighty God, puA forth In the name
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 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 demoralzed; 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 cov-
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

liberty. From the same promo 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 overthrown at once 1t forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction Of civilza-
ton or the establishment of an absolute des-
potism.
We have witnessed for more that a quarter
of century the struggles Of two great politi-
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

peudence, 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
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 Q free government while built upon the
love of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned to-
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, united
brotherhood of free men.
Our country Gnds 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 a few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions Of dollars Of
commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply Is wholly made
ouate 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 II given
power We will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
