ments notice. What Manager Parks wants
Is battery, and he says that will be the
chief point about his new team. He ex-
poets to open at Easton Saturday with

Assembled upon the 10th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. the Peoples
party of America In their 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 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 muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated our homes cov-
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 theiI
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 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
ornamental injustice we breed the two great
classes-tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is ap-
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
taking possession Of the world. II not met
and overthrow at once It forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction Of civilza-
ton or the establishment Of an absolute des-
potism.
We have Witnessed for more that q quarter
Of 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
develop without serious efforts to prevent or

70 help US to determine wnerner we Arc ~
have a republic to administer before we differ
as to the conditions upon which 1t is TO be ad-
this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong is remedied and
equal rights and equal privileges securely es.-
tablished for all 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-
permanent and perpetual-may It's spirit enter
Into all hearts for the salvation of the repuhlk
and the uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs to him who creates 1t, and
equivalent is robbery. I'll any Win not wo1s
neither shall he eat" The interests OF rursi
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 peo
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 a.
10 prevent the increase of the power Of the
national administration by the use of such
additional government employees.
We demand national currency, safe, sound
only; full legal tender for all debts, public
and private, and that without the use Of bank
ing corporations; q just; equitable and efficient
a tax not to exceed per cent. per annum, to
be provided as set forth in the subtreasury
plan of the Farmers Alliance, or some better
system; also by payments In discharge of Its
obligati for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio OF
l8tol.
We demand that the amount of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys Of the country
should 10 kept as much as 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.
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
tabished by the government for the safe de-
posit of the earnings OF the people and to facil-
itate exchange.
Transportation being a means OF exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
Of the people.
The telegraph and telephone. like the post
office system, being necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and oper-
led by the government in the interest Of the
people.
The land, including all the natural sources
OF wealth, IL the heritage of all the people, and
should not be monopolized for speculative pur-
poses. and an alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by rail-
roads and other corporations In excess OF their
actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the government
aud held for actual settlers only.
