and honesty of the statements of the re-
publican majority; at the same time the
enthusiasm of the hour does not carry
away from the fact that the peoples par
ty was, and now is, the great moving
force in compelling this rebellion, and
in setting al example which will prove
more contagious.
Sec. 4. We recognize the fact that the
misrepresentation of a subsidized press
have kept many honest voters from es-
pOusing our cause, and although the
work of education goes steadily ON, we
know that the campaign of 1896 must be
fought out upon the money question;
and so believing, and, inasmuch as the
money and corporate power of the coun-
try, including the national banks, have
united their forces against the cause of
free coinage; we recommend to the con-
sideration of the national convention
that it entertain any and all reasonable
propositions which will effect a union of
the silver forces for the purpose of OPP
posing to the power of wealth the irwin
chile power of the honesty and manhood,

scorn of an outraged people. We want
it to be distinctly understood that no di-
vision of the silver force will come
through the peoples party. We are all
willing to do anything reasonable. but
we also wan it to be known that the
party of the people has come to stay, and
that with the returning years it has as
surance of renewed vigor and of wide
field of usefulness.
Sec. 5. We believe the wisdom of the
convention to be held at St. Louis, July
%, 1895, can be safely trusted and we
leave our delegates thereto unrestricted,
except as has been indicated.
Sec. 6. We deny the right of the dem
%ocratic and republican parties to feign
opposition to each other when we we'll
know that if it were not for their united
assistance and support, the shameless
administration of Grover CLEVELAND
would have been unable to fasten upon
the people bonds of slavery and to ruth
lessly strike down tine last vestige of the
peoples money, such actions require no
condemnation for they carry their W
shame with them.
Sec. T.. We especially dcnounce the
unconstitutional and un American in
reference by the administration with
the local affairs in the state of IllinO S
during the Pullman strike, the sending
of the federal soldiers into that state
without the request of the states exc
cutive was an usurpation of power;
which is contrary to our system of gov
eminent and deserves the severe con.
demnation Of all loyal American Cit.
zens.
Sec. 8. We also especially denounce
the seton of the federal authorities in
interference with the individual sover
eighty of the private citizens of the
United States, as guaranteed by the
constitution. We d%enounce as unwar
anted illegal and unconstitutional the
imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs anG
his associates whose trial and conviction
were a travesty on justice and brands as
a falsehood the oft repeated declaration
that American citizens enjoy perfeer
liberty and freedom.
Sec. 8. Resolved that while we favoI
a union of forces we are opposed to an!
but duly elected or selected representa-
tives of the peaples party to a voice o.
vote in the peoples party national con
vention.
Sec. 10. We denounce the issuance
of interest bearing bonds and particu
larly do we denounce the shady and in.
iq%uitious transactions by which these
bonds have been sold for a price far be
low their marketable value.
Believing that that the clouds o
doubt and despair which have hitherto
overhung the country are about to BIZ
} dispelled and that the silver light OF
better days dawns upon a period whel
honor and truth will be regarded TO
their own sake we bid our representa-
tives at St. Louis go on with their worl
believing the destiny which has been in
tended for the party of the people will
be the obtaining Of the demands b,
every true American, a happy, united
prosperous and contented nation.
