LAND.

O1. The true policy demands that na.
tional and state legislation shall be such
rs will ultimately enable every provi-
dent and industrious citizen to secure
home, and therefore the land should not
bemonOpOlized for speculative purposes.
All lands being held by railways and
other corporations in excess of their ac-
tual needs, should by lawful means he
reclaimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only. and private land
monopoly as well as alien ownership
should be prohibited.
2. We condemn the frauds by which
the land grants to the Pacific railway
companies have through the connivance
OF the interior department robbed null
titudes of equal bona tide settlers of their
homes and miners OF their claims. and
We demand legislation by congress which
will inforce the exemption of mineral
lands from such grants after rs well As

homestead law. am tuat 20 esemytios

2. We tender to the patriotic people
of Cuba our deepest sympathy In The
heroic struggle for political s-esiom and
independence, and we believe the time
has come when the United States. the
greatest republic of the world. should

chise and an untrammeled ballot are e.
sential to government Of. for and by
the people, the Peoples party condemns
the wholesale system of dissranch. Sc
ment adopted in some states as unre-
publican and undemocratic, and we de-
clare it to be the duty of the several
state legislatures to take such action as
will secure a full, free and fair ballot
and an honest count,
o, While the FOREGOING propositions
constitute the platform upon which our
party stands, and for the yindicat,on of
which its organization will be maintain
ed, we recognize that the great and pres
sing issue OF the pending campaign, up
on which the present presidential elec
ton will turn, is the financial question.
and upon the great and specific issue be-
tween the parties we cordially invite
the aid and cooperation Of all organ
izations of citizens agreeing with US
upon this vital question.

FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES.

rOO ONDAllO-N uA-'Nih h|'
First-That union OF tne labor
forces of the United States this day
consummated shall be permanent
and perpetual, may its spirit enter
all hearts for the salvation OF the
republic and the uplifting OF man
kind.
Second-Wealth belongs to him
who creates it, and every dollar
taken from industry without an
equivalent is robbery. off any VIII
not work. neither shall he eat"
The Interests of rural and civic
labor are the same; their interests
are identical.
Third-We delieve that the time
has come when the railroad corpo-
rations will either own the people
or the people must own the ralf-
roads, and should the government
enter upon the work of owing or
managing any or al Og the rail-
roads, we shonld favor an mend
ment to the constitution by which
all persons engaged in tlIa govern
ment service shall be placed under
a. civil service regulation of the
most rigid character, so as to
prevent the increase of the power
of the national administration by
the use of such additional govern
ment employees.
FINANCE
First-We demand national
currency-safe, sound and flexible
issued by the general govern
ment only. a full legal tender for
all dobts, public and private, and
.hat without the nSe of banking
cornolations, a just, equitable and
efficient means of distributing di-
rect to the people at tax not to
exceed 2 per cent per annum to be
provided as set forth in the sub-
treasury plan of the Farmers AL
lance or a better system; also by
payments in discharge OF its obi
cations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimi-
ted coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 16 to 1.
We demaud that the amonnt OF
circulating medium be speedily in
Gre. ..sed to not less than $50 per
capita.
We demand graduated income
tax.
We believe that the money of
the country should be kept as much
as possible in the hands of the peO
pie. and hence we demand that all
state and national revenues shall
be limited to the necessary expen-
ses OF the government economical
ly and honestly administered.
We demand that the postal sa-
wings bank he established by the
government for the safe deposit OF
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.

TRANSPORTATION.

/. Transportation being the means OF
exchange and a public necessity the gov
ernment should own and operate the
railways in the interest OF the people
and on D nonpartisan basis, to the end
that all may be accorded the same treat
ment in transportation, ana that the
tyranny and political power now exer-
cised by the great railroad corporations,
which result in the impairment, il not
the destruction, of the political rights
of the citizens, may be destroyed. Such
ownership is to be accomplished gradu-
ally in a manner consistent with sound
policy.

money and the proceeds of extensive

ure of the existing liens OF the United
States on these roads should at once fol-

MANAGER HooPER,s BENEFIT

To Take Place at the Academy OF HIusio
Monday, March =.
MUCH interest Is being manifested in
the coming farce comedy, "Our Flat"
which will be produced at the Academy
next Monday night.
The play is brimful of humor snd
embraces ridiculous situations, but un-
aerneath there Is strong current OF
interest, which holds the attention
much more than the ordinary fun pro-
duc.ng farce comedies. The pictures of
Fiat Life" are we'll drawn and the
action, while lively, is not forced be-
Yond the limit of probabilities.
Miss Emily Bancker, the bright par.
ticulsr star of the company, is delight
fully winsome in her character Of the
mistress Of he fat. She Is a woman of
grace and ability. Her conversion of
the barren sinto little palace illus
trates in a most charming manner
lovely woman's fertility in ideas when
necessity forces her into the field OF
practicsl invention. "Our Flat" is lust
such comedy as does one's heart good
to witness and will te produced at the
Academy next Monday night in all Of
the original effects and cast as pro-
dnced in New York city, when it en-
joyed the longest run ever known for tie
boards OF that city.
"Our Flat" will be produced for
benefit to Manager Hooper and one we'll
deserved. The management of the
Academy for the past season cannot be
questioned. The attractions have been
OF the best GLASS. including variety
calculated to please all.
Much credit is due Mr.. Hooper, and
the amusement loving people will, no
doubt. show their appreciation by
responding literally Monday next.
