San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-01-31

9th. We favor free and unllmlC-
ed coinage of silver at the ratio of
l6 to |, and denounce all compro-
mise or change of ratio.
7th. We denounce the efforts OF
the Democrats now in Congress to
place on the free list all raw ma
terial.produced on the farm and
maintaining higher protective
tariff on the products of the rock
ribbed manufactures of the east.
We favor an income tax for both
the individual and the corpora
ton.
Sth. That we reendorse our state
platform made at Dallas in 1892,
and that we heartily favor Judge
Nugent, of Fort Worth, for our
standard bearer for governor this
year, 1894.
9th. That Joe Bailey's action is
inconsistent and very silly in max
ing Populist speeches, and at the
time advising the people to stick
to the Democratic party and that
he has betrayed every trust, dis
honored every promise and repudi-
ated every principle of justice that
was demanded by the people. We
also look upon him with
shame and disgust for fra
gravity violating his profess
sion of economy, wherein he
claims to have refused pay for one
days absence and upon reelection
to congress voted for an increase OF
his already excessive salary to the
amount of 500 per month for
"clerk's hire"
10th. That the American people
were disappointed, insulted and
Inundated by their un-American
president sending his message to
England in advance of giving it to
the American people.
18th. That the Peoples party
must stand pledged to the inter-
ests of working men and the far
mers who are the victims of every
species of class legislation, the prey
of corporations and combinations
of ca pital. That the Peoples party
must stand pledged to wrest our
domain from corporate and foreign
ownership and restore the land to
the people for homes; to contend
for the abolition of the national
banking system and the issuing Of,
all money a full legal tender by
the government direct to the peO-
pie without speculation or favOrit-
ism; to liquidate the bonded in
debtedness by paying OF the
bonds according to the original
contract and for the principle of
government ownership of rail-
roads.
18th. TO hasten the above prin-
ciple our party is organized. We
invite into our ranks patriotic and
liberty-loving citizens from all
section of our common country to
engage with us in a peaceful yet
vigorous contest for human
rigth against human greed. In
connection with the above given
resolutions, which go to show that
the Peoples party are in the ring
to win, it is well to say that the Re-
publicans have issued their regular
call for all the rank and file to fall
in, in accordance with the scheme
recently originated, and which was
given in full in the LIGHTS Austin
correspondence several weeks ago.
The Republicans are as usual
standing in a solid phalanX. They
are not losing a single man. All
the new strength that is being
daily added to the POpulist
party is being drawn entirely
from either wing of the wounded
Democratic party in Texas. De-
mocracy and nothing else is suf-
fering from the split and the
longer they keep up their fight
the more men they are losing and
stronger grows the Populist party
in Texas. With the present status
of affairs in Texas existing another
six months, means nothing more
nor less than a third increase in
POpulist ranks the recruits to be
driven from the Democratic ranks.
