Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-11-20
sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June
9th. 1894.


The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
in Convention assembled, acknowledge
! ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
! following declaration of principles:
lst. We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af
/ firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
Both, 1892.
2nd, AS the ballot is the bulwark of
| the peoples liberties, we favor an in
! telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
3rd. We condemn. in unmeasured
terms. the spirit OF mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
! by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
/ benefit of Judge or jury or the oppor
! tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu
ton of the United States.
4th. We demand the repeal of the
United States Internal Revenue laWau
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale of liquor in PrOhi-
bition territory.
9TH, In view of the serious and
/ alarming industrial and financial con
ditions of the country, we deem the
settlement of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
lance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. The money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
eminent only. and in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de
manded, No individual or corpora
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made legal tender for the payment Of
all debts, public and private. Its vol
ume should be fixed at a definite sum
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
