tinues:
We rejoice in the exalted sentiment
that prompted the government of the
United States to take up arms in defense
OF the bitterly oppressed people of CUBA.
But for the same reason We glory in the
successful war against Spain, we depre

of production would go TO all, while I'M

private fortunes. We demand that they

tariff and other privilege-conferring legis-
larion responsible for them, and by the
enactment of such legislation, state and
national. as will aid in their destruction.
The platform concludes with denuncia-
ion of letting convist labor by contract
urges a careful study of the existing liquor
laws and condemns the administration of
Leslie NJ, Shaw and the republican party
IN Iowa The Populist party resolutions
are similar.
