THE PEOPLES PLATFORM.
Adopted in National Convention .
Omaha, July 4, 1892.

Assembled upon the 10th anniversary Of the
Declaration of Independence, the Peoples
party of America in th<ir first national coD-
vention, invoking upon cir action the bless
ing of Almighty God, puts forth in the name
and on behalf of the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration of princi-
Piles:
The conditions which surround us justify
our action; we meet in the midst Of q nation
brought to the verge of moral, political and
material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal
lot box, the legislatures. the congress, and
touches even the ermine Of the bench. The
people are demoralized; most Of the states
have been compelled to Isolate the voters at
the polling places in order to prevent universal
intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or huzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our homes COW
cred with mortgages, labor impoverished and
the land concentrating in the hands Of the
capitalists. The urban wOrkmen are denied
the right of organization for self projections;
imported pauperized labor beats down their
wages: a hireling standing army, unrecog-
nized by our laws, Is established to shoot them
down, and they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions The fruits of the toll Of
millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal
fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the his
tory of mankind, and the possessors Of these,
in turn, despise the republic and endangsr
liberty. From the same prolific womb of gov
ernmental injustice we breed the two great
classes-tramps and millionaires.. y ''
The national power to create money Is ap-
propriated to enrich bondholders; q vast pub
lie debt, payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens Of the people.
Silver, which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonetized to
add to the purchasing power Of gold by de-
creasing the price Of all forms Of property as
we'll as human labor. The supply of currency
is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprise and enslave industry.
A vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on two continents, and 1t is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not met
and overthrow at once 1t forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction of civilza-
ton or the establishment Of an absolute des-
potism.
We have witnessed for more that quarter
of century the struggles of two great politi-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted upon a suffer-
ing people. We charge that the controlling
influences dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious efforts to prevent or

as to the conditions upon which 1t Is to be adj
this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong Is remedied and
equal rights and equal privileges securely es-
tablished for al the men and women Of this
country. ..'
We declare, therefore
That the union of the labor forces of the
United States this day consummated shall be
into all hearts for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
Wealth, belongs to him who creates it, and
%ef from W Y no Moa
neither shall he eat" The interests Of rural
and civic labor are the same; their enemies
are identical.
We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the PEG
pie or the people must own the railroads, and
should the government enter upon the work OF
owning and managing any or all railroads we
should favor an amendment TO the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the government
service shall be placed under a civil service
regulation Of the most rigid character, so as
to prevent the increase, of the power of the
national administration by the use of sucL
additional government employees
We demand national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general government
only full legal tender for all debts public
aDd private, and that without the use of bank
ing corporations a. just. equitable and efficient

system: rlso by payments in discharge of its
obIigati : for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver and gold at the present legal ratio Of
10 to l.
We demand that the amount of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily Increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita. 7 j.;
We demand graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys OF the country
should be kept as much az possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent economically and honestly admins
tered. e."
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
tabished by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings of the people and to factl-
itate exchange.
Transportation being a means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroadsin the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
mission of news, should be owned and oper-
a ed by the government in the interest of the
people. lUf go ..t,wi:. 0t.'
The land, including all the natural sources
Of wealth, is the heritage of all the people, and
should not be monopolized for speculative pur-
poses, and an alien ownership Ut land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by rail
roads and OF her corporations in excess of their
actual needs and all lands now owned 3v
aliens should be reclaimed by the government
aud held for actual settlers only.

pendence, we seek to restore the government
Of the republic to the hands of 1.-The plain peo-
ple,2 with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical with
the purposes Of the national constitutional
form q more perfect Union, establish justice,
insure 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 en-
dure as q free government while built upon the
'ove Of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned tn
gether by bayonets; that the civil war is over,
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF it must die with it. and that we
must be tn fact, as we are in name, a united
brotherhood of free men,.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent IN the
history Of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions anount to billions of dollars in
value, which must within few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions of dollars of
! commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply is wholly made
Quate to make this exchange. The results are
falling prices, the formation of combines and
rings and the impoverishment Of the producing
classes. We pledge ourselves that II given
power we will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers Of government
In other words, Of the people-should be ex-

rapidly and as far as the good sense of an in

ence shall justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in

While our sympathies as a party Of reform
are naturally upon the side of every PROPOSE

virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re-

The supreme court of Kansas de-
sides that the governor OF that
state has no power to remove or
disturb Mrs. Lease in the discharge
Of her duty as chairman or member
of the state board of charities,
Thus Mrs. Lease proves herself
within the sacred precincs. OF the
law, and quite-'able to know just
where she is at. Pity she were not

at the decision of the court, as it re-

BROWN AS BAD as INGALLS,.

~
Col. John N. Brown, the distinguished
leader Of the colored people of Kansas,
who assumes to act as their mouth piece
has taken serious offense at x-Senator
John J. Ingalls, suggestion of the depor-
tatlOn of the Africans as a solution to the
ever present race problem. Colonel
Brown is a little late in making a public
manifestation Of his feelings on this sub
ject, but perhaps he has been nursing his
Indignation all these years that it mi ght
wax strong, and great, and fall with more
telling effect upon the devoted head Of
Mr. Ingalls, Perhaps again he has been
waiting until there are no more Offices in
sight
The people OF Kansas would have
higher appreciation Of Colonel Browne
position this subject, and more faith
in his sincerity, were ii not for the well
known fact that he has but recently been
advocating the same thing that he SO
vigorously condemns in the ex- United
States senator.
To be sure Colonel Brown wanted to
colonies his race IN Brazil instead of IN
Africa, but the principle is the same.
There is one very important difference
in the two schemes, however, and that il
that the colonel proposed to lead the ex-
odus to Brazil himself Now, Col. Brown
has had large experience in the exodus
business. He conducted a movement of
that kind from the south to Kansas in
$780, and it paid Contributions of
money, food and clothing, poured in
from all over the land to aid the poor
suffering destitute cOlOred people that
had been driven to seek refuge in Kan
sas from the wrongs inflicted by their
Cypress ors in the south, and when they
had nearly all been provided for and
there were not more than a dozen left at
the barracks" near the Santa Fe juno
ton depot, the large two story building
at the southwest corner of Gordon and
Kansas avenue was yet filled from cellar
to garnet with clothing and provisions,
and members Of the Freedmen's Aid as
ISOLATION were travelling over the cOun-
try asking for more
Viewed from the standpoint Of past
history it is not surprising that Col
Brown should object to having what he
has evidently come to regard as one Of
his inalienable rights interfered with.
If there is any deportation to be done he
wants TO be regarded as the chief de-
porter. He evidently intends to head
exodus OF his people somewhere, but
whether into Brazil or into the POpullst
party is not yet fully determined He
would perhaps encounter less rivalry in
the latter movement

INCREASING TIE Army.

Gen. Schofeld, Z. s. A., thinks our reg
ular army Of $4,000 men j. far too small
Gen. Schoheld thinks il should be in
creased to 10000 at once. Why stop at
10000. GeneraI3 Why not make it &c.,
DOOR As the increase Of the army is to
keep down the riotous unemployed, what
better plan could be suggested than to
make the unemployed keep themselves
down BY getting enlisted into the army
where they could at least get $13 a
month and board That is more than
probably 100000 Of men are now get
ting.
or course il would be expensive to
support such an army, but as we are rap
idly approaching the pauper labor wage
scales of Europe, we cannot expect to
escape the other half of the European
wage system which is a big standing
army. The big armies of Europe are not
maintained by the nations there to pro-
tect themselves from each other
30 much as to keep the labor
ing classes from rising in their
anger and upsettIng things. The pauper
laborers of Europe periodically get tired
of making wealth for kings, dukes,
duchesses and the supper classes to
squander; their black bread and wooden
shoes become irksome to them once in
awhile; then they threaten to overturn
the established order Of thingp; and a big
army, like the one General Schofeld pro-
poses, is a convenient thing to compel
them to return to their black bread and
wooden shoes, and to convince them that
they have no business to bother their
heads about government and such things.
OF course, if wages keep on going
down in America as they have been since
this goldbug congress threw silver into
the ditch, they must eventually reach the
European standard. When that time
men may come in handy, or an army of
$4,000 men as suggested
These fine old generals. Schofield and
O.. o. Howard (who. by the way, is a
great Sunday-school leader and doesn't
believe in bloodshed) are pining for an
occupation. The armies are not large
enough and there are not wars enough
to suit these martial old gray boards. 1t
is too bad that these piping times Of
peace give these aged but enthusiastic
gentlemen no opportunity to exercise
their military valor They need an army
of at least 10000 men and # there be
no foreign foe to lead them against these
senile and sanguiDary old gents are per
fectly willing, as we have it from their
own mouths, to lead their cohorts against
American citizens and shoot them
The army should be increased to 5OO,-
600 men at once just to please Messrs
SchotieId and Howard
