Union at Raleigh, N. c., Feb
ruary 8, 1896

Finance-We demand a national
currency, safe, sound and flexible
issued by the government only, a full
legal tender for all debts, public Or
private, and that without the use Of
banking corporations; a just, equitable
and efficient means of distributing
direct to the people at a tax not to eG,
coed 2 per cent. as set forth by the
Sub-Treasury plan or some better sys
tenn; also, by payments in discharged
it's obligations and for public improve
ments.
a. We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the legal
ratio of 16 to l..
b. We demand that the amount
the circulating medium be increased II
at least $50 per capita exclusive Of legal
reserves.
C. We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expensed
another.
e. We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much &
possible in the hands of the people and
hence we demand that all national and
State revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government
economically and honestly admins
tered.
f. We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern

changes.
Land-The land, including all the
natural resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people and should
hot be mOnOpolized for speculativepur .
poses and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. Ali lands nov
held by railroads and other corpora
tiOns in excess of their actual Needs
and lands now owned by aliens, should
now be reclaimed by the government
and sold for actual settlers only.
b.
ing a means of exchange and a pubic
necessity, the government should owl
and operate just enough of the com
peting railroad lines of the CountryW9
efectually give the Government full
control of the regulation of passenga
fares and freight rates.
q. The telegraph and telephone, LIE
the p~ostofice system, being a necessity
for the transmission of ntelligenGe
should be owned and operated by zoe
government in the interest of the PEG
pie.
ELECTION OF UNITED STATES sENTAToSS
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote OF gS
people. That each State shall be o.
vlded into two districts of nearly eqas
voting population, and that a Sens@
from each shall be elected by a dire"
vote of the people of the district.

SILVER MeN NOT SCARED.

"Dismay of the Silver Men," says
the caption of an editorial in the
Chicago Post. That reminds us of the
story of the way the Irishman cap
tured a prisoner. Hey there, Cap
tain, I've captured a prisoner"
"Well, why don't you bring him inY"
"Be CORA, he won't come"
make him come"
81 can't; he's takin' me with him."
The silver men are dismayed in about
the same sense the Irishman's prisoner
was captured. They are taking the
country with them. Western Rural
