PEOPLES PARTY NATIONAL PLATFORM
Adopted at Springfield, ILL.,, July 4, 1904.

The peoples party reafflrms It's adher-
enoe to the basic truths OF the Omaha
platform of 1892, and of the subsequent
platforms Of 1895 and 1900. In session In
Its fourth national convention on July 4,
1904, in the city Of Springfield, ILL.,, 1t

the birth of the nation "a we'll a. It's own
bi til as q party, and also from tho soul
Of him who lived at It's present pla'e of
meeting. We renew our allegiance to he
old fashioned American spirit that gave
this nation existence, and made it dis.
tinctive among the peoples Of the earth
We again sound the keynote of the Deo-
laration Of Independence that all mon are
or,,ted equal in political sense, which
was the sense in which that Instrument,
being a political document intended tina
tn, utteranoe should DO understood. We
assert that the departure from this fun
damental truth Is responsible for the ills

has enabled them to dominate the many,
thereby tending to destroy the political
equality which 10 the cornerstone Of dem

srs we vigorously prot est against tho
spirit Of mammonism and of thinly

sections of our national life, and Of the
very administration itself. This Is a ma.
tioa Of peace, and we deplors tho appeal
to the spirit Of foros and militar ism
" ,ich is shown In i'll advised and vain

ways in the denial of the rights Of man
under martial law.
A political democracy and an Indus
trial despotism cannot exist side by side,

shown than in the gigantic transporta-
ton monopolies which have bred all sorts
of kindred trusts, subverted the govern

for the government to own the railroads
than for the railroads to own the govern

We call the attention of our fellow citi-
zsns to the fact that the surrender of
both OF the old parties to cooperative in
fluences leaves the Peoples party the only
party of reform in the nation.
Therefore we submit the following plat
form of principles to the American peo-
pie:

Representative Harris Outlines Detailed
Plan For Keeping
Territorial Expenses Within Income

Representative w. W. Harris has al
ready framed readjustment Of the ap-
preparations. salary and current, 80
that the expense Of the Territory will
come within the income as estimated
by the Auditor and Treasurer. Mr..
Harris has very positive ideas regard
ing the present financial situation. In
the first place he maintains that the
generous criticism Of the last Legisla-
ture in Secretary Atkinson's recently
published interview is not justified by
the facts. He claims that the special
appropriations Of about $500. 900 for I'M
paid bills incurred by executive off,
Gals without legislative authority were
what put the Territory behind. Had
II not been for these appropriations.
which were practically forced upon
the Legislature ito preserve Territor-
ial integrity" there would have been a
surplus Of 100000 In the Treasury on
January 1. 1904. under the present ap-
preparation bill.

4 Disguised Bidder.

A short while ago the Water Board of
Cumberland solicited bids for furnishing
supplies for a years operation of its
machinery, and member personally
invited James A. Ryan, of this place,
who represents a big oil house, to submit
figures.
This Mr. RYAN did, and when the bids
were opened his figure in one article was
81, cents a gallon, i'll another not less
than or cents below the next lowest.
1t turned out to be very trying stu
alton for the Board, for the other bid
ders We're Cumberland men.
TO two of the latter the contract was
finally awarded-on the ground that
they are Cumberland men!
Mr.. Ryan wouldn't feel bad about it
but for the fact that having been in
vitcd to bid, he didn't even suspect that
his nOn-residence would be bar to an
equal chance to give the city the cheap
est supplies that We're to be had. If he
thought of that phase of the matter ut
all he imagined the cheapest acceptable
materials were what the Board was
seeking in inviting bids.
In fact, he is willing to make oath
that if he had known that he would be
expected to bid against people who had
to have the business anyhow he wouldn't
have compromised either his own self
respect or the prices of his oils.
His last conclusion is-that when the
Board advertises next year that not only
should any of its members refrain from
asking non-residentS to bid, but they
should state i'll their advertisement eX-
plicitly that only Cumberland bids are
wanted-that county-men have no put"
in city affairs except to turn in nearly
all the county taxes for city patronage of
Cumberland men only"

the expense Of trial.
District Attorney jerome made red
hot speech. He told about his efforts
to get Garfield and said Garfield had de-
liberately kept out Of the way, The
district attorney said that when he as
snmed Office the gambling business in
this city was run as licensed graft !"
