all effective instrument i'm restor-
ing the normal influence of our
producing population in the govern
ment, its aims must be restricted to
the present requirements of industrial
relief. 1t Was a mistake; to go before
the country with an imposing schedule
OF proposed reforms, every one of
which, however meritorious, called for
a prolonged campaign of education
That policy has never led political
party to victory. The peoples party
is mainly indebted for what popular
favor it has won, to its position on sill
yer and finance. While there is much
to learn on these questions, they are
better understood by the masses of
voters, because of their bearing Oh
prices, wages and living, than any of
the other reforms suggested in the
Omaha platform.
What is even more to the purpose,
the appreciation of money rs compared
with other values. the consequence of
dsmonetizing silver, is the basic cause
of the disturbance in our industr ial
system and of the resulting Unequal
tiles Of the distribution of wealth.
Until our coinage shall be returned to
the status given it by the founders of
the republic, thus supplying the basis
for safe and ample currency system,
it Will be impossible to rightly comp
rehend, or to have the people rightly
comprehend, just how strong are the
claims of other economic changes that
have been proposed. The relief that
will come from Il sufficient volume of
sound currency to vitaliZe industry
ane sustain values to IA just standard
will prepare the country for other
wise and prudent advances.
Besides simplified platform, there
should he an unqualified allegiance
to the laws of the land and
recognition of the only valid medium
of redress from the consequences of
unjust laws, or laws that are believed
to be unjust. In the popular estima-
ton, iaw-breakers belong with the
criminal classes, and that fact is in
itself strong guarantee of the enduI-

The Omaha platform declares for
nothing that would change the funda-
mental principles of our political
system or materially effect the present
constitution of society. Its demands
are progressive, not revolutionary.
This fat should be emphasized that the
organization may not be open to even
a suspician of socialism in the organic
and disrup.ive sense of that term. A
taint of that kind would blast the
h ,pes of any party in America.

to be effected by strictly constitutional
melhods-wOuld be platform enough
The party that shall supplant the re,
publican organization, with its incal-
culable support of power and wealth
will triumph on declaration some
thing like this. 1t touches the marrow
