We, the representatives. of the Peoples party Of
Sherman county, IN convention assembled, do
most heartily endorse present state officers
toI their wise ana economic ADMINISTRATION OF the
aHairs OF the state whereby saving OF over one
million dollars has been made to the over-bur-
dened tax payers We pledge our united support
We declare that this republic can only endure
free government while built upon the love of
the whole people for each other and for the
ton; that II cannot be pinned together with bayo
nets while injustice rules the land; that must
be in fact as we are in name, one united brother
hood
Esdorse again the principles of the Omaha
platform. and we believe that the scope of the
government should be expanded as rapidly and as
far as the good sense of intelligent people and
the teachings of experience shall justify, along
the line OF collective ownership by the people of
all such means of production and distribution as
the people may elect to operate
We believe the Peoples party has comprehen-
sive appreciation OF the situation into which the
country has been plunged and IS the only party
that can act with courage, determination, intel
hgence and patriotism upon which the people can
rely.
We believe that in the order of reformation the
the financial question comes first. That under
the present disastrous monetary system Migrated
upon the country by the Republican party and
perpetuated by the Democratic party. falling
prices viii continue, money will pile up IN the
hands OF the interest gathererS, further CONNER
cial prostration will ensue. crime and suffering
viii Understanding in drastic measures and
despotic government, and the loss of our liberties
We believe that silver should be Immediately re-
mcnetized on a ratio of 10 to with gold indie
pendent of the action of any and all other govern
ments. We warn the people against the duplicity
and treachery of the old parties whose candi-
dates when elected to of6ce have no higher zmbi-
ton than the salaries they draw and the patron
age they dispense.
