outlille my platform and my pledge of faith,
70 winch / faithfully promise to adhere:
1 liSt realizing that Almighty God has made
oi one ieSh all nations to dwell on the face or
tile earth. and that all men by right are born
lree ana equal, and all citizens OF the United
states are by our Constitution guaranteed
certain lnallenabIe rights, among which are
llIe, ilpcrJy and the peaceful pursuit OF hap
plnesS. And, whereas such rights youch-
sitIeu TO every American citizen has been, and
now are, thwarted by great accumulatiVe cap
l'ilI ana the Capitalization of power brought
uHVeL ana cohtfOueu by the great mOnopOleS
Ol thc uty, anu by the Absorption OF the pub
nc domain, whereby the greater portion OF
Lhe arabic tlinber and other lands OF our State
are owned and controlled by Il few persons,
lhohopoiStS ana foreign capitalists to the
great deprivation and distress OF the great
masses OF our nattvt-boTn citizens thereby
IhauSufating a system OF "peonagc'' and
causing q vast majority OF our citizens to be-
come OOnd-saVcS to a tew arrocaut I1onopo-
!lStS, VINO hold our lands in large tracts rang
ING from i've thousand 10 many hundreds OF
thousand acres OF our best farming lands
Which prevents the thorough settling up and
popUuaung our State, and causing the masses
dependent on labor TO seek enlployment in
our OVcr-crOWded cities where In bOr is 10 a
by forcing our White population the greater
part OF WhOm were WeIl-raiSed, that would
otherWIse be industrious and good citizens, to
pecOnle hOuseieSS, homeless ''trampS" and
because OF poverty and hunger induced to
seek relief by organizing ana Joining the
"CommonWeal Army Of the discouraged un-
e
both our State and Nation.
or LhlS ana many other reasons am in
favor OF. and would have our Legislature pass
u law, declaring and making the wear A D.
1900 a year OF jubilee, and every seventh
year thereafter years OF release after the old
Mosaic system, and would have our IegiSla.
turc enact such laws that would compel the
great land-holdeFs and monopolists TO dispose
of their vast holdings to actual citizens hav-
Jug no land, on reasonable terms in tracts
not exceeding $50 acres of tillable, nor more
,i,a,
or desert lands, by providing by law that all
lands held in greater quantities than above
designated by one person shall, by action Of
law, De cCnIScatcu To the State on the first
day OF said year OF jubilee, or release and by
the state Systematically SUbdivided and sold
10 bona Hdc cltlZens having no land, VINO viii
become actual settlers thereon, in fraction of
NOT less Jilan twenty acres, and in quantities
not exceeding the maximum numb Of acres,
according to character OF land as above
stated, on a fiye-year credit at the rate of 50
per acre Tor tillablc and 50 80 per acre tor
other lands, and should be forever EXEMPT
from execution, except for taxes. and should
constitute and be a homestead and cOntinu-
Gus heritage to such purchasers and their de-
Scendants.
Every seventh year after a. D. 1900 should

Tor ihe payment OF money should be made TO
the proper owner thereof
And all claims Tor the payment of money
or binding contracts should on the first tIa y
OF each year of release become void and cam
csIled. 10 the end that every citizen of the

Fund.- and should be used under lust and
proper reg uIations for the Tciief of ali persons
actually and unaVoidaDly in great need of
assistance, to the end that no cause tor
''tTanps" should exist nor be tolerated in our
State. All persons or corporations should
have until the first day Of January A. D.
1900, to arrange their affairs so as to well
