CINCINNATI PLATFORM

The Peoples party of the United
States, assembled in national cOnven-
ton this 10th day of May, 1900, at
hrming our mistaken belief in the
cardinal tenets of the Peoples
party, as set forth in the Omaha
platform, and pledging ourselves
anew to continued advocacy of those
grand principles of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and
proclaim this declaration Of faith:
l. We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date, or such changes of existing
and fundamental and statute law as
will enable the people in their sover-
elgn capacity to propose and compel
the enactment of such laws as they
desire; to reject such as they deem
Injurious to their interests, and to
recall unfaithful public servants.
2. We demand the public owner
ship and operation Of those means of
communication, transportation and
production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines. coal mines, etc.
3. The land, including all nat
ural sources of wealth, is a heritage
of the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in
excess Of their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
4. A scientific and absolute paper
money, based upon the entire wealth
and population of the nation, not re-
deemable In any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for all
debts, and receivable for all taxes
and public dues, and issued by the
government only. without the inter-
vention Of banks. and in suficient
quantity to meet the demands OF
commerce. is the best currency that
can be devised: but until such
financial system is secured, which we
shall press for adoption, we will ia
vor the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ra-
ito Of is to /.
5. We demand the levy and COL
lection Of graduated tax on in j..
comes and inheritances. and a con-
stitutional amendment to secure the 4
same. II necessary.
6. We demand the election of pres 4
ident, ice-president. federal judges I
and United States senator's by direct
vote of the people.
Z. We are opposed to trusts, and 4
declare the contention between the 4
old parties on the trust and monop- 4
oily question Is a sham battle, and 4
that no solution Of this mighty prob 4
lem is possible without the adoption I
Of the principles Of public ownership 4
Of public utilities. 4

THE QUESTION OF SWALLOWING.

The Peoples party has not been ..swal-
lowed by the Democratic party. It was
never more distinct as political organiza-
ton than now. But for the peril that
startles every patriot and threatens the
obstruction OF the constitutional power of
the people, the Peoples party would not
nave become cooperating force in 1900.
After the election 1t will resume the educa-
ton that has made successful resistance to
Imperialism possible. The lack OF rumntion

called Democratic papers. who have declared
that the Popuiist party exists on paper
