CINCINNATI PLATFORM

} The Peoples party of the United
States, assembled in national conven-
) tion this 10th day of May, 1900. af-
} firming our unshaken 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-
eign capacity to propose and compel
} the enactment of such laws ~ they
desire: to reject such as they deem
Injurious to their interests, and to
} recall unfaithfui 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
an 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 sufficient
quantity to meet the demands Of
commerce, Is the best currency that
can be devised; but until such a
financial system is secured, which we
vor the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ra-
ito of 16 to /.
s. We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances, and a con-
stitutional amendment to secure the
same, if necessary.
6. We demand the election of pres
ident, vice president, federal judges
and United States senators bys direct
vote of the people.
Z. We are opposed to trusts, and
declare the contention between the
old parties on the trust and monop-
oily question is a sham battle, and
that no solution of this mighty prob
lem is possible without the adoption
of the principles of public ownership
of public utilities.

We arc in receipt Of piece Of music.
entitled Give Us Just Another Lin
cOln," words and music by Paul Dresser.
The cover is very attractive and the
sentiment of the whole piece is very
beautiful, sublime and appropriate at
this time. But we can not help thinking
that, should this petition be answered,
and Lincoln would return, the party
with which he before Identified himself
would bo IS much disappointed as were
the Jews on the appearance Of Christ.

and half the men there are not miners
Some Of the miners may have little ac-
counts, but they are not startling.
BLACK DIAMONDS ARE LUXURIES.
The black diamond is the proper name
for the anthracite coal. 1t is a luxury
and daily it is growing more so. 1t j:
better than soft coal and costs a lot
more money. 1t costs more than it did
formerly This is very important and
entirely neglected phase of the labor
question. A generation ago the anthra-
cite coal was a stable and not a par
ticularly expensive fuel for moderately
wel-to-do citizen. IN few years it
will be sold from the jewery counters.
Yet with its growing scarcity and its
increased cost Of mining and production.
it is keeping an important place in the
commerce of the world by artificial
means.
Thirty years ago the anthracite veins
thick. AS the miner and laborer work
ed in the breast of a mammoth vein,
one blast of powder would bring down
from 20 to 80 car loads. What did the
miner care then If he paid Sc a keg for
powder? These rich, thick veins yield
ed enormous profits to the operator.
The miner worked short hours and was
fairly we'll paid. He had his home. his
children attended schools, went out into
the world and prospered. Now you lind
him strong and hearty citizen of the
mining communities, or a broken heart
ed one, If he is still at work. Il
Now the miners are working Ia veins

Washington, Jan. 27.--"Now York

city. "The theories advanced bv tho
advocates Of the Middle West arc all
very we'll, but | do not think thcy

the holding Of tho convention in the

elgn vote. SO far as tho finance
question is concerned, that is n past
lSsuo IN tho West among the foreign
ers. But the difference is that tho
coming Of tho national convention to
New York will have decidedly good
effect on tho country at largo. |
have it very straight that Mr.. Bryan
favora New York, and that ho has
SO expressed himself. | think that
when the votes aro counted on Feb.
ruary 22 it will bo found that Now
York has tho majority OF tho votes
in tho national committee. + am
very suro that it has tho best

Hhe Mouth.

The following was written by a
boy who was compelled by his teacher
TO write an essay on the mouth:
"Iour mouth is the front door to
the face. 1t is tho aperture to tho
cold storage Of anatomy. Some
mouths look like peaches and cream,
somo look Ike u ,,.olo cut in Il brick
wall to admit now door or win

"The mouth is the hot bed for
toothacho and bungholc for oratory.
The mouth is the crimson aisle to
your liver; it is patriotism $ fountain,
and tool chest for pipes. Without
tho mouth the politician would bo n
wonder on the face Of tho earth and
go down to an unhonorod grave.

A Tribute to Gen. Lee.

IT is as follows: "Hc was a foe
without hate, a friend without trca-
cherry, soldier without cruelty, a
victor without oppression, and a
victim without murmuring. He
was a public officer without vices:
a private citizen without wrong;
ncighbor without rcproach; Chris
tan without hypocrisy; and a man
without guile. He was Caesar with
out his ambition, Frederick without
his tyranny; Napoleon without his
scl!lShncss, and Washington with
out his reward. He was obedient
to authority as servant, and royal
in authority as true king. He
was gentle as a woman III life, and
modest and pure as virgin in
thought; watchful as a Roman ves-
tai in duty; submissive to law as
Socrates, and grand in battle as
Achillcs!'
