rescan item. Neither do icy now promise
us any substantial relief. They have agreed
together to ignore in the coming campaign
every issue but one. They propose to drown
the outcries If plundered people with the
uproar of sham battle over the tariff. so that
capitalists. corporations, national banks, rings.
trusts, watered stock, the decentralization of
silver and the oppression of the usurers may
all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes, lives and children ON the altar Of
Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from the million
aire.
Assembled on the anniversary of the birth
day of the nation, and filled with the spirit Of
the grand generation who established our indie.
pendence, we seek to restore the government
of the republic to the hands of 1.-THE plain peo-
ple," with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical with
the purposes of the national consttutiou-to
form a 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 free government while built upon the
love of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned to-
gether by bayonets, Sthat 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 in fact, as we are in name, 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 amount 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 if 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-
banded las in the case of the postal service) as
rapidly and as far as the good sense of an in
tellgent people and the teachings Of expert
ence shall justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in
the land.
While our sympathies as a party Of reform
are naturally upon the side OF every PROPOSE
ton which will tend to make men intelligent,
virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re-
gard these Observation-Disclosures as they are
as secondary to the great issues now pressing
for solution, and upon which not only our in
dividual prosperity, but the very existence Of
free institutions denends. and we ask all men

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

Assembled upon the ll6th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, the Peoples
party Of America in thtir first national con-
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-
ples
The conditions which surround us justify
our action; we meet in the midst of 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 muZzed, 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 protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down their
wages: hirelng 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 few, unprecedented in the his
tory of mankind, and the possessors of these,
in turn, despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From the same prolific womb of gov
ernmental injustice we breed the two great
classes-tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is APP
propriated to enrich bondholders; a 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
well 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

potism.
We have witnessed for more that a quarter
of a century the struggles of two great politi-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted upon suffer
ing people. We charge that the controlling
influences dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to

A FRIEND who lives at Ottawa
writes as follows, in private let
ter: Il think it a shame that we
the W. men are expected to pub.
lish papers and tracts, and hold
public meetings and make speeches,
be away from our homes, everlast-
ingly talking about female suffrage;
or. that we hear such men as eX-
Coy. Anthony say, 81 don't be-
lieve | shall vote for female suffrage
the women don't seem to want it
they are not doing anything"
We should not have to go beyond
the threshold of our own door co
ask for It. The Negroes were taken
from the lowest ignorance into the
highest citizenship, without mo-
ment's preparation. After all our
years of study and knowledge Of
the powers of the ballot, why
should we have this extra toll that
is revolving to our very natures !!
/ have spent more time helping to
work up sentiment that would
lift us above the political level of
idiots and lunatics than | shall ever
spend casting the ballot if we should
become acknowledged citizens of

NOBODY'S DAUGHTER.

Left there, nobody's daughter,
Child of disgrace and shame,
Nobody ever taught her
A mothers sweet saving name:
Nobody ever caring
Whether she stood or fell,
And men (are they men ?)ensnaring
With the arts ali d the gold Of hell !!
Stitching with ceaseless labor
To earn her pitful bread
Begging a crust OF neighbor,
And getting curse instead
All through the long, hot summer,
All through the cold, dark time,
With fingers that numb and number
Grow, white as the frost S white
rime.
Nobody ever conceiving
The throb of that warm young life,
Nobody ever believing
The strain of that terrible strife !!
Nobody kind words pouring
In that orphan hearts sad ear;
But all of us all ignoring
What lies at our door SO near
O sister down in the alley,
Pale, with the downcast eye,
Dark and dreal is the valley,
But the stars shine forth on high.
Nobody here may love thee,
Or care if though stand or fall
But the great, good God above thee,
He watches and cares for all.
