An lM8EClLE PARTY.

~ Nv > CNtAE T An ! J.
The Democratic press is daily cen
suring the Republican minority in
Congress for not helping the Demo
Gratis make 4 majority and transact
business. This is pretty cheeky for
a party that has 22j members in
Congress. and if only 1863 of this
number would stay in Washington
and attend to the business they are
paid $1,000 a year to do, they would
always have quorum and transact
business without the help of a single
Republican member. From 30 to
100 Democratic congressman are
absent nearly all the time. We don't
say that it is patriotic in the Kepub-
llcans not to help make quorum,
but that is neither here nor there.
The Democrats are in power and
have d big majority and the blame
must rest on them for not transact
Ing business. Let the party in pow
er force its own members to at
tend to their business. The
present spectacle of the House ad-
journing day after day for want Of a
quorum is indefensible, it is crimi-
nal. The Peoples Party Congress-
men are always on hand always help
ing to transact business.
LATER: - Since the above was
written the Democratic members of
Congress have decided in caucus to
authorize the Speaker to count a
quorum. Continued and unprece-
dented absenteeism has at last forced
the Democrats, though with a trem-
enGous majority, to adopt the very
same methods for transacting husi-
ness that they so bitterly and saw
agely denounced Speaker Reed for
in the 51st Congress. The difference
between the two parties grows less
and less each day. 1t would take even
better dodge aud trimmer than the
author Of the Chicago platform to
tell the difference between them now.
The Democrats of Minnesota have
Issued a ringing address denouncing
congress and the administration for
betraylng the people, but they state
as their only grievance, that the Viii
son tariff bill is no better than the
Mckinley monstrosity. Is it posi-
bic that the Minnesota Democrats
are all gold bugs? Do they not also
condemn the assassination of silver !:
Do they not condemn the issuing of
gold bonds in time of peace? Do
they not condemn the complete sur
render to all kinds of monopoly aud
trusts: 1t is true high protection
is bad enough, but there are curses
greater than this, which neither the
Democratic nor Republican parties
do not condemn. There are more
mlllionaires made by the rotten f.
nanclal system and the railroads and
other monopolies than by the tariff.
Deny this, or hold your peace,

POWERS WILL FIGHT.

Won't Let Japan Attack the Treaty Ports,
 London, Dec. 1S-It is understood that the agreemspt between England and Russia 1inersgard to the war in the east does not permit any warlike oper- ations in the vicinity of or approaches to Shanghai. This includes prohibition of hostile fleet passing up either the northern or southern entrance to the g-Tse-Kiang river.
 Japan at first accepted the terms of the agreement, but has recently threat ened to disregard them on the ground that the Shanghai arsenal is supplying the Chinese with arms: etc >&..Y
 It is believed that the third Japanese army at Hiroshima;is destined to Nan king. The English and Russian, gov ernments have irtimated that. they would prevent his movement, and the recent assembling of the British fleet under Admiral Fremantle at Chusan, and the gathering of the Russian fleet at Chee-Foo are. thus accounted for. It is understood that England and Russia have decided to fight if necessary to prevent hostilities on the Yang-Tse- Kiang.

Adopted In National Convention u

Assembled upon the 10th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. the Peoples
party Of America In th,ir first national con-
vention, invoking upon cir action the bless
ing of Almighty God, puts forth in the naIue
and on behalf OF the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration Of princi-
Piles:
The conditions which surround N 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 ermne 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 a 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 mllionaires.
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.
A 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 II forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction Of civiza-
ton or the establishment Of an absolute les
potism.
We have witnessed for more that q 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

We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the pee-
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 civil service

to prevent the increase of the power Of the

We demand national currency, safe. sound

We demand the free and unlimited coinage

We demand that the amount of the circulat-

than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand Il graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys OF the country
should be kept much as possible in the

that all national and state revenues shall be

We demand that postal savings banks be es-

Transportation being a means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should

The telegraph and telephone, like the post.

The land, including all the natural sources
Of wealth, il the heritage of all the people, and

poses. and an alien ownership of land should
be prohibited All lands now held by rail-
roads and other corporations in excess Of their
acl ual needs, and all lands now owned 5y
aliens should be- reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.
