PEOPLES PARTY RESOLUTIONS.

Reafhrming faith in the peoples party and
Its principles we invite the alliance and COOP
Grafton of all the elements of the state and ma
ton to the end that union of all voters may
be formed who oppose the gold standard and
the European level of prices, we call the at
tention of the American people to the fact
proven by many trials that changing from one
old party to another has brought no relief
from the burdens under which the people are
struggling. but that on the contrary. condi-
lions have constantly grown worse and we ask
all lovers of their country to unite with US in
an honest and earnest effort for relief.
First-We favor the overthrow and destruc-
ton at all monopol1es, trusts and combines
organized for the plumber and oppression of
the people.
Second-We demand strict and effective con-
troll and supervision by the government of all
corporations, performing public or Quasi-pub-
lie functions and if necessary to protect pub
nc interests. the ownership by the govern
Fourth-We demand that the president and
secretary OF the treasury be deprived of the
ority of congress being first given for each
separate ISSUE
Fifth-We believe that all the money of the
country, whether coin or paper. should be Is
sued by the government and not by corpora
tons or individuals.
Sixth-We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l inde-
pendent OF the action of any other nation and
we believe that the United States is capable of
maintaining such financial system as will
promote the prosperity of its own people
without asking the consent of any other gov
eminent.
Seyenth-We demand that the constitution.
al right OF trial by jury shall be extended to
every form of action whether civil or GRIMM
al. and denounce the trial of our citizens by
inj JUNCTION in contempt proceedings, without
the right of trial by jury, as contrary to the
spirit of our constitution.

LITTLE GIRLS IN SWEAT SHOPS.

Springfield, H., March Estate
Factory Inspector Florence Kelley has
laid her third annual report before the
governor. The report shows that dur
ing 1895 forty-eight cities and towns
were visited and $40 establishments
inspected, employing 100, 1863 persons.
The number of children found at work
between the ages of IA and 16 years was
1924. About 500 children under IA
years of age were discovered and dis.
charged under the law from further
work. Fifty-six defendants were pros
ecuted and convicted for employing
eighty children under IA years of age,
and 223 defendants were convicted of
employing 40S children between the
ages of IA and 16 without the required
affidayits.
The worst thing shown in the report is
the tenement-house sweatshops of Chi
cago. The number found there during
the year 1895 was LIS as against lab
In 1894. The number of employees in
creased from IL ,1O2 in 1894 to 1906 in
1898, and child labor employed had in
creased from 72l in 1894 to l ,3O7 In 1895.
VI this vast number, ,130 were little
girls. at least two-thirds of whom could
neither read nor write the English Ian
guage.
The foregoing is plain statement of
facts and striking picture of social
conditions in the state of Illinois. No
comment is necessary. "Whither are
we drifting!"

hILyRRm KANSAS.
ROCKY Mountain Nevel

The cold blooded deal which the re-
publicans of Kansas gave to silver has
evidently aroused the friends of free
coinage who have been clinging to the
old parties to action. At conference
held last week in Topeka a state GEN.
trail committee was organized and ar
rangements made for the holding of a
state convention to elect delegates to
the silver national convention. which
will meet in st. Louis on July %. The
chairman of the central COMMITTEES is
A. G. Shinn Of Ottawa, and the secre-
tary and treasurer is William p. Tom
linson of Topeka. 1t numbers one
member from each congressional dis
trlct, with Albert Griffin as a commit
teeman at large. It was decided to
hold the state convention at Topeka on
July is. The county conventions to
elect delegates to the state convention
will be held on July Is.
The proceedings of this conference
were characterized by great harmony
and enthusiasm and indicated a deter
mlnation on the part of the people of
Kansas to resist the goldbugs by every
means left in their power. There is
every reason why the free coinage men
should sweep the state in such a con.
test. Kansas is producing state on
whose every product the adoption OF
the single gold standard has had a ruin
Gus effect. There is no state, not ex.
cepting Colorado or any of the mining
states, which has larger interest in
the restoration of silver to the coinage
and return to bimetallic standard
The practical steps toward the organ
ization of silver party are therefore
sign of encouragement. and the ex-
ample thus set is commended to other
OF the western states where political
machines have ignored silver and bow
ed down before the gold trust.

THERE is another thing
going on in republican cir
cles that has the tendency of
making people tired. For in
stance, the Atchison Cham
pion says that if Goldbug
Morton should be nominated
for president he would not
get a single electoral vote
west of Lake Michigan or
south of the Ohio river. Now
we would like to know ever
so many things, but the very
first thing we would like to
know is why there should be
any more hesitation in vot-
ing for Gold-bug Morton than
in voting for Gold-bug Nc
Kinley. In the light of re-
cent developments, it really
looks as though Mckinley is
closer to the money gamblers
and monopolies of every de-
scription than is Morton. This
is proved from the fact that
these elements are exerting
their power and using their
wealth to promote McKin-
ley's interests. The Lord
knows Morton would be a
dangerous man for the pres
idency, but Mckinley is no
better and possibly much
worse.

EVERY American citizen
should learn to treat politics
as a matter of business. It is
not a question as to whether
any particular man shall be
admitted to the pie counter
or not, it is a question as to
whether you, as an American
citizen shall enjoy life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
There is altogether too much
spasmodic frenzy in politics
which has a bad effect. Treat
your political work as you
would your business. Don't
throw up your hat and shout
for a man and party that
will bring you and posterity
down to abject slavery. Some
brutes have more sense than
that.

The executive council of
the American Bankers Asso-
citation at a meeting last
month resolved in favor of
the preservation of the pres
ent gold standard. The
resolution strongly appeals
to the customers of all banks
to exert every influence to
elect such public officers as
are known to be in sympathy
with the gold standard. Some
people will be foolish enough
to obey but Kansas has very
few such.

HoKE SMITH, secretary of

Crisp have engaged in sever
al joint degates at different
places in Georgia, on the
subject of free coinage of

Crisp has stood manfully for
silver in times past, but he
loses a great deal of respect
by his Introductory state
ment that he will remain
loyal to the democratic par.
ty regardless Of its attitude
on public questions. This is
the part of the demagogue

IT is a difficult matter for
a candidate to be elected to a
city Office in a majority of the
cities of the United States,
without first declaring him
self in favor of municipal
ownership of public utilities.
Five years ago the people
who are now it's most devot-
ed promulgators would have
styled this idea as socialism
and anarchy. In course of
time and education public
opinion will be equally crys-
talized in favor of government
ownership. The only way
some people will become SEN
sible on political questions is
to have an appeal directed
to the stomach instead of
the brain.
