The platform adopted by the congress
sional convention is as follows:
Cold Water Platform
First-We renew our allegiance TO
the principles of the state and national
platforms Of our party, chiefly the
abolition of the traffic in intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes.
Second-The money of the nation
should be issued by the federal govern
ment alone. Every dollar, whether of
gold, silver or paper, should he legal
tender for the payment Of all debts and
taxes.
Thlrd-We favor non partisan tariff
commission of experts, which shall be
empowered to revise the tariff from
time to time in the interest of American
labor. The means necessary TO all
economical administration of the gov
eminent should be raised by levying the
burden on what the people possess in
stead Of upon what they consume.
Fourth - Arbitration is wise and
Christian. and the most economical and
humane method of adjusting differences
between nations and between capital
and labor, and compulsory laws to that
effect should be enacted as far as pos
Sible.
Fifth Recognizing the value of the
services of our citizens who so bravely
defended the government and defended
the Union We favor the liberal pension
ing of all needy veterans.
Sixth-Speculation i'll margins, the
cornerng of grain, money and products,
and the formation of pools, trusts and
combinations, for the arbitrary advance
ment of prices. and the watering of
stock should be prohibited by law.
Seventh We arraign the Democratic
and Republican parties as the support
ers Of trusts, combinations and monopo-
lies, as seen in the defeat of the free
sugar bill in the United States senate
by the combined vote of those parties.
They should receive the support of no
American citizen who desires the rescue
of his country from the merclless grasp
of monopolies ana especially from that
gigantic monopoly the liquor trust.
