THR WAR IS OVER.

| We assert our purposes to be
identical with the purposes Of the
national constitutional form a
more perfect union, establish justice,
insur 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 endure as a
| free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for
each other and for the nation: that
1t cannot be pinned together by bay
onets; that the civil war is over. and
that every passion and resentment
which grew out of it must die with
1t, and that We must be in fact, as
we are In name, one united brother
! hood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted
by conditions for which there is no
precedent in the history Of the
world-our annual agricultural pro-
auctions amount to billions of dol
lars 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
inadequate TO make this exchange;
the results are falling prices, the
formation of combines and rings
and the lmpcverishment OF the pro
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that If given power We will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the power of gov
ernment-in other words, of the PEG.
ple-should be expanded (as in the
case the postal service) as rapidly as
far as the good sense of an intelll-
gent people and the teachings of ex.
perience shall justify, to the end that
oppression, injustice and poverty
shall eventually cease in the land

THREEFOLD DECLARATION.


While our sympathles as a party
OF reform are naturally upon the
side of every proposition which will
tend to make men intelligent. vir-
tuous and temperate, We neyerthe-
less regard these questions impor-
tant as they are, as secondary to the
great issue now pressing for solution,
and upon which not only our indi-
vidual prosperity but the very ex-
istence of tree institutions depend,
and We ask all men to first help US
to determine whether We are to have
a republic to administer before we
differ as to the conditions upon which
it is to be administered, believing
that the forces of reform this day
organized will never cease to move
forward until every remdied and
