The DEMocRArIc pLATFORM

The following platform was adopted
by the Democratic State Convention
in session here last May.
The Democratic party OF North Car
DINA, In convention assembled in Raj
elgh, n. Q on this day, May 26, 1898,
90 hereby approve, endorse aud raTlfy
the Last D 3mocra5ic National and State
platforms, and pledge earnest cup
port to the principles therein
expressed.
We denounce the Republican party
for the passage Of the D4ngly tariff
oil, which has increased the burdens
OF taxation upon the consumers and
given the trusts and monopOiists
greater power to rob the people.
Believing that under our present
methods Of Federal taxation more than
three quarters OF our national reve
nues are paid by people owning less
than n quarter of the property Of
the country, we protest against such
inequality and injustice, and in order
to remedy to some extent this great
wrong, we favor an income tax, and
favor all constitutional methods to
sustain it.
We denounce the Republican party
for the defeat Of the Teller resolutions
declaring u national bonds payable
in silver as we'll as gold, and denounce
it for its determined purpose Of more
tn 0roughly fastening the single gold
standard upon our people, and for it's
avowed hostility to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver as we'll as
gold, at the ratio of 16 to 1, into full
legal tender money.
We denounCe the Republican party
for its determination TO issue bonds at
this time, and we denounce the
Republican war tax bill which lately
passed the House of Representatives
as unjust and unequal in it's burdens.
unnecessary and vexatious; and we
demand the silver seignorage be
coined; that az income tax be levied.
aud that the Secretary of the Treasury
be authorized to issue the necessary

or United States Treasury notes. in
order TO meet the expenses of the war
with Spain and to supply the revenue
deficit under the DLngley bill.
While we deplore the war with
Spain, we pledge our earnest support
Co the Government in all honorable
ways to effect q speedy and successful
conclusion of hossilitles.
We denOunCe toe scandal, extrava
gance, lncompetency and corr upton
OF the present Republican State ad-
nit istration.
We denouuce all enactments Of the
two legislatures by which cities
and towns in the State have been
turned over to negro domination, and
we pledge ourselves to enact such laws
as will give security and protection to
the property and people of every town
and community in the State.
We denounce the placing of negroes

VENUS AND Irs MYSTERIES.

The most beautiful planet, and the
one that comes nearest to the earth,
and most resembles the earth in size,
is at the same time the most nv ste
rious. Is V4nus q living world or a
dead One9 That is to say, is it in a
condition to support inhabitants, and
is it probable that such inhabitants are
there, or, on the other hand, is it IN
suited for their presence and barren of
living forms7 These questions aslrono-
mers at present are unable to answer,
but their Efforts TO ans yer them and
the observations that they nave made
OF the mysterious planet possess an al
most startling interest FirsG let US
briefly recall what Venus is IL is a
globe like our earth, and of very nearly
the same magnitude, having a diane
ter OF about 200 miles, while that of
the earth is a little more than z 900
miles. So nearly of the same slzs are
the two planets thai If we could view

gence, should be owned and operated
by the government In the interest OF
the people.
We demand that no land shall be
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads in excess Of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
now owned by aliens should be re.
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
EXEOTION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall be di-
vided into two districts of nearly equal
voting population, and that Senators
from each shall be elected by the
people of the district.
ISTRIOT LEGISLATION.
(c) That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expense
of another.
Cd We believe that the money Of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad
ministered.

(OFFICIAL)
NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
8, 1890.

6, 1890.
WHEREAS. The Declaration of Inde
pendence, as a basis for a Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men are created equal;
that they r endowed with certain Il,
alienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, pri-
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether Of
the means of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the "a may be,
shall appropriate the same by right Of
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest Of. the whole people.

means of distribution of this currency,

ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the buai
ness of the country on q cash basis.
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
6) We demand a graduated income
tax.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to efectually con-

just and equitable basis.

work of Laying the Track Is Now
Being Pushed.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Oct. TO-
The work of laying the track on the
Minnesota e. Iowa division of the North
western from Sanborn to section 16, YES
ia, a distance of twenty-nine miles, COM
menced at Sapb0rn last Friday, a force
of 200 men commencing the work Of
laying ties, rails, driving spikes and
building bridges and culverts. On Mon
day morning this crew was reinforced
by new patent track laying machine
which drops the ties and rails into place,
and which is followed by the crew. who
bolt the rails together and spike them
to the ties. With the aid of this ma
chine the company expect to lay over q
mile of track each day, and hence ought
to finish the line to the present terminal
in Vesta by Nov. /.
Two of the grading contractors on this
line were in town last Friday. They
stated that the grading would all be
finished by Oct. 20, the remaining strips
being located within eight miles of the
terminal, and at the side tracks in the
three or four different proposed townsites.
Engineer Kline of the Western Town
Lot company, of Chicago, which is the
townste adjacent of the Northwestern
system, was in the city last Saturday
with his staff. He had just come in
from the West, where he had been stalk
ing out the town lots for the towns of
Sheridan and Vail. He said that the
plats would go to his company this
week and that the announcement of
the town lot sales along the line should
be made inside Of three weeks. His ap-
pearance here gave rise to the runor
that the Northwestern would extend it's
stub line from this city west to Sher1-
dan or Vesta. and then run northwest
to Fargo, a rumor that seemed to be
verified by the company ordering GER
tain distractions off their right-of-way
in this city just west Of their present
terminal. Mr.. Kline. however, said that
he knew nothing of the extension, and
returned to his home at Omaha Saturday
afternoon. The Northwestern, however,
has a survey Of q line running from
here to its proposed town in Sheridan,
made in 1880, when it bluffed the Mime
apolis IL st. Louis out Of running to
Redwood Falls and Marshall.
The Minnesota 81 Iowa system is now
running mixed trains on its line between
Butterfield and Sanborn, two trains run
ming each way each day. The elevators
along the line are receiving wheat, and
the Northwestern is handling it with
apparent ease.
