The STATE PLATFORM
AS Adopted by the Peoples
Party of South Dakota in
State Convention.

state Convention.
The Peoples Party Of South Dakota
triumpbantly re-afirms its allegiance
TO the fundamental principles enunciat-
ed in the Omaha and St. Louis Mat.
forms.
We distinctly re-afirm our position
in favor of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of l6 to /. and
our u~na]terable opposition to the issue
of interest bearing bonds in times of
peace or war.
We are opposed to banks of issue and
in favor of the issue CT all money d.
rect by the government.
We demand the passage of the free
homes bill, and condemn the opposi-
tion to that measure by tie national
republican managers and their failure
to redeem their pledge made in the St.
Louis convention.
W. approve Of the war now being
waged in behalf Of the oppressed peo-
pie Of Cuba and the Philippines, and
demand its energetic prosecution and
that 1t be terminated as quickly as
possible after the purposes for which
it was inaugurated shall have been &C.
complished.
We d%enounce the Infamous policy of
government by any action fostered by
the federal courts, and we demand the
election of such courts by a direct vote
of the people for stated terms.
We regard the tenure system in our
federal judiciary as subsersive of liber-
ty and we demand the election OF Unit
ed States supreme court for stated
terms by direct vote Of the people.
We recommend that at the state
convention of the peoples party to be
held in 1900, a candidate for United
States senator be nominated to be vot-
ed on by the legislature elected by the
party.
STATE ISSUES.
No people can be free who are de-
MED the right to vote yes and no on
every law to which they are subject,
and we therefore favor the initiative
and referendum as the only Measure
by which majority rule can be secured.
We are firmly committed to the pub
lie ownership of national monopo]ies
and we favor al amendment to the
constitution permitting the state to
engage in public works.
We favor the repeal of the so-called
fellow servant statute and the enact
ment of legislation making employers
liable for injuries received by their
employees while inethe discharge of i'm
mediate duty, when injuries received
are directly traceable to the negli.
gence OF employers or fellow servants.
We believe in fostering the institu-
tions of the state and insist that coun-
ty and state supplies be purchased
from home producers.
We are opposed to the employment
Of convict labor in competition with
free labor except to such an extent us
may be necessary to preserve the
health of the convicts and maintain
the institutions IN which they are in
c~arcerate0.
We demand an equitable tax upon
the franchises of railroad and other
i, corporations, and we d%enounce the ma
jority of the state board of equaliza-
property on the same basis as that OF
the citizens of the state.

stance of the anti Chinese law. AS for the former
case the country must inevitably suffer from the
wrong committed to pacify labor agitators.
That the language of the act will exclude Russian
Jews who have failed in their native country to
quire the Russian English tongue is induh
table fact that was understood by the solons who
prepared the conference report. They have delibe-
rately undertaken frame the statute that know
ledge of any other language cannot avail the Russian
Jew after he is denied the opportunity of attending
school in his native city or village but who simply
studies another dialect in which masterpieces of lite
nature have been rendered, which has surpassed any
other language, and one from which the mostlearned
scholars of the past and the present have derived and
still derive their most beautiful thoughts.
That tob many immigrants who are "illiterate"
and birds Of passage have reached our shores
may DE true. But Russian Jews certainly come here
to remaiA as citizens and prove their capacity for
citizenship. They are not voluntarily ilterate.
Their first thought is to send their children to school
they come to this country.
These poorly uniformed representatives of the PEG
pie, these demagOgnes, who framed the bill doing
a mischief which sterling Americans will regret
long as thslaw shall remain on the statute book. In
conclusion, must say that the immigration law is
of the most dsingenuous bits of legislation that
has been recorded the statute book since the
United States republic.
