MARION BUTLER,

Senator Mariou Butler, of North Caro-
lima, has come to South Dakota to help
out his co-conspirator in the national Popu-
list convention Of last May, his own sena-
torial cake having turned to dough. While
In this state Mr.. Butler will doubtless be
called on to explain what he meant when
he said in that convention that II the Popu-
lists did not get a~candidate for vice-presi-
dent the party would go to pieces and that
for every vote Bryan got in the East he
would lose two in the West. This is what
the Populists will be curious to know,
while the Democrats in his audiences will
ask him what he meant when he abused
their party associates in North Carolina
and threatened to go after them at the
polls this fall with shot gun. Buffers
tour through South Dakota promises to
afford him one continual round of pleasure,
while 1t won't help Pettigrew a PARTICLE
Minneapolis Tribune.
He will have to answer a great many
questions before he gets through, among
others why he opposed the Democrats
In North Carolina, and supported them
In the rest Of the country.
Was 1t because Bryan was good
enough to get an Office for him in case
Of his election but not good enough to
help into power in North Carolina?

Are the trusts to become more power
ful than the people or the government?
Are labor unions to be crushed out o1
existence?
Is arbitration to be thrown aside as a
useless instrument in Industrial dis
putes?
Will the trusts be permitted to use
starvation and fnilitarism IN order to
make wage slaves Of American work
men?
The strike of 10000 coal miners in the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania makes
these questions pertinent.
Labor all over the country is vitally
Interested in the causes which led to
this strike and its outcome.
1t comes at a time which has been her
aided as one of great prosperity, yet
the country is shocked to discover that
the coal combine has been giving it's
men, 90-cent day and about 18O days
work year.
When the miners conclude that they
might as well starve idle as working, tho
coal combine gives notice to the country
that it will not recognize a labor union
and it will not submit the differences 70
arbitration.
1t can and will and does, however, sell
the thousands of tons of coal stored I'M
In anticipation of this strike at an ad-
vance of 81 per ton.
The strike is a profitable venture for
the coal trust. It economies on it's
pay roll while the men are idle. It pro-
proses to starve the miners into accept
ance Of the conditions against which
they have struck.
That no element of force may be want
Ing on the part Of the operators, Gov.
Stone, OF Pennsylvania, has put the
militia of the state at the disposal of the
employers to overawe the men.
Homestead seems to have been forgot
ten and the operators are again utilizing
Pinkertons as sheriff's deputies. AS
usual, they are giving the strikers every
provocation to break the peace.
HOW 1T CONCERNS YOU.
The coal trust is only one of many
combines existing1in this country. What
1t can force upon the miners of Penn
sylvania will soon rbe tried on you by
your trust employer.
II you doubt it: call to mind the fact
that the iron and steel trust has Just sue
cessfully applied the Starvation pro-
cess" to it's 6O,o0O.(weH organized AMI
highly skilled employees. Starvation was
too much for, these men, the wives and
babies shared their sufferingz. They &C.
cepted the reduction and went back to
work.
1t the coal operators defeat the miners
in this strike it will mean a concerted
attack on wage workers by the trusts.
Labor unions will be wiped out. Mill
tarism and starvation are the powerful
instruments which will be used to re-
duce you to condition worse than serf-
dom.

CINCINNATI PLATFORM

The Peoples party Of the United
States, assembled in national conven-
tion this 10th day of May, 1900, af-r
f1rming our unshaken belief in the
cardinal tenets of the Peoples
party, as set forth in the Omaha
z 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-
e1gn 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
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 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
shall press for adoption. we will ia
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 graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances, and a con-
stitutiOnal amendment to secure the
same. IL necessary.
g. We demand the election Of pres
ident, vice-president, federal judges
and United States senators by 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.

John Clancy was not nominated for
court commissioner, in spite of Leo Cor
nick's efforts to get Clancy indorsed, but
the little Democrat was given a vote of
thanks for calling the Dempsey commit
tee "snide politicians" at the recent
Democratic convention.
Peter Max of1eiated as county chair
man and made a speech on the dignity
and importance of the Populist party.
w. A. Stafford was made chairman,
and c. B. Bergeron secretary.
Adolph Paradis, nominee for congress,
delivered a speech. He said In part:
up there, two blocks further up, is
where the state house ring holds forth.
They have spent something like $4,000 to
break up the Peoples party, and it
doesn't look as if they had succeeded"
The speaker went on to tell a few
things about Major Bowler, P. B. Win
ston and other Democrats, and wound
up with an eulogy of w. J. Bryan. He
especially upheld Bryan as a supporter
Of free silver.
"The state house ring have not only
spent $4,000 to disrupt the Peoples party
but will carry it into the courts and, by
the Eternal God, we will meet them
there and fight it to finish"
Mr.. Paradis was given vote of thanks
on the suggestion Of the chairman.
Erick Olson, Of Martin county, read 4
speech on 'The Rise and Fall of John
Lind"
The resolutions reafirmed all previous
Populist platforms and elaborated along
the same lines. In conclusion it con-
tanned this fierce indictment and con-
demnation:
THE Peoples party has been harassed
ever since its incipiency by a clique of
small politicians. In consequence of this
the party has become demoralized and
disorganized; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we find that Jacob
Lazarus, Gust Becker, J. E. Dempsey, j.
E. johnson and M. E. Murray are enc
mics of the Peoples party; that these
gentlemen have brought disruption upon
our party and have placed us in false
light"
The resolutions cited the offer of
Dempsey ct al, to indorse the Democratic
ticket II given the Offices of court COM
missioner and county commissioner, and
become good Democrats, and further re-
solved that,
The above named gentlemen shall be
expelled from our party and be excluded
from all our meetings"
Paradis contributed a little amuse-
ment by nominating J. J. Hill for ,he
legislature from the Seventh ward, but
the convention thought that was carry
