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 constitutional
form 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 a free government while built upon the
owe of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned to-
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 in 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 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@ill 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

ApPEARs INEVITABLE.
The Hank of Enmland's Reserve Has
Reached IN Unprecedented
Amount-EHorts 10 Form
New French Cabinet.


BY Associated Press.
London, May 27.--The ease in the
money market is increasing and a
great plethora OF money appears In
eyitable. During the week there was a
poor supply Of three months bills at
rs while interest on call money was
also nominal. The reserve OF the Bank
OF England is unprecedented exceeding
f26. 100000. 1t is expected that joint
stock banks will soon be obliged to
give only half per cent for deposits.
Prices at the stock exchange were ir-
for superior Investment stocks. Con-
soils were quoted at unexampled prices
and will doubtless continue to rise.
Colonial stocks also advanced. Foreign
securities were strong. with the excep-
ton Of Brazllians and Guatemalans.
Argentine securities were well sup
ported on the news that interest pay
ments were assured.
There was an advance all around in
home railway securities, prices of
American securities fiuctuating greatly.
The recent tariff vote led to buying
but further sales OF shares of bankrupt
lines and fears OF assessments caused
u reaction.
n rumored reduction In the dividends
OF New York Central also weakened
the market. The business was mostly
restricted to a few active stocks, such
as Louisville and Nashville, Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul, Erie and Nor
folk and Western preferred. The move
ment was generally upward, Reading
incomes, Norfolk and Western prefer
red. Louisville and Nashville. Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, Erie.

advanced above one. Grand Trunk OF
