The report Of the committee on ad.

During the past few years there
has been continual demonstration
| OF the correctness OF the economic
principles declared by our party con
ventions. The so-called fifty-cent' dol
lar has saved the country from disas
ter. Duties on imports have remained
| unchanged, transportation has remain
ed In the same hands, no new land
| laws have been enacted and the
| change from bankruptcy and ruin to
| business activity can be credited to
| nothing except the increase in the
volume OF money and the tremendous
in. alton of bank credits that have
been used in business as money equiv
alents
Our contention has never been for
AAy wv IJouty Dlthdt, bUt
| for an increase in the volume of money
sufficient to restore and maintain sta
| bility in the price level There are
other principles of party that are not
| accepted in full, and the partys mis-

questions IL regard to monopoly, trans
portation, machine rule control of tho
avenues of information. the censorship
o. the postoffice department and other
questions have been settled All mo.
nopolies have been owned and operat.
ed by the whole people.
/ The demand that United States SEN
ators should be elected by the people,
| instead Of by the legislatures. was first
declared in the platform of the Peo-
pies party, and is now advocated
by practically the entire nation.
We are opposed to any tariff thai
in its administration is for the benefi
: of American trust combinations whicl
S sell to foreigners cheaper than to tn
American consumer Wherever an
o of the principles of the party have bee
encated into law there has been unar
imous endorsement of them This i
particularly so in regard to the rura
free delivery.
