AN IDEAL PLATFORM
For Willmai Trilnine
An ideal platform is one with a
great issue With no other
plank than such at will tend
to strengthen and build no that
one. Whenev er a plank of minor
importance will take a\\a
from the great issue, it has no
business there and ought to be
left out because a a it plat
form is like a chain, the stiength
of which must alvvavs be measur
ed by the strength of its poorest
link." And generally so must al
so a party's strength be measur
ed, by the strength of the weak
est or most unpopular plank in
its platform. In politics as well
as in war the enemy will seek out
and attack the weakest point in
an opposing party's platform,
so at at party, instead of
discussing its main issue, is
thereby forced to take up dis
cuss and defend its weakest
plank, wheieby the giea issue
is lost sight of. and thus the
great cause, as well as the a it
suffers.
I is a genera
1
mistake of all
new parties, the Peoples party
not excepted. take up to
many it-sues and planks—some
eveiTof doubtful meiits—in their
platform. Th money plank
beiug the acknowledged main or
great issue of the Peoples party
it ought therefore to be very
careful not to insert planks into
its platform at will be a bur
den to the first and great issue
No permanent refoi in can be at
tained in other indnstiial ques
tions until we get a just and eq
uitable system of finance because
it is the money of the land at
is the motive power hei eby the
industrial machine is operated,
and it follows at if this system
is being monopolized by trusts
or otherwise crippled, all the in
dustrial branches would be con
trolled or crippled through this,
the money system, even if they
were nationalized.
Another great mistake is the
going to much into details,
vvhichs leads to much into side
issues wherein there might be a
diversity of opinions even a
those who honestly believe in the
maiu issue itself. We have, for
instance, in our finance plank
several such details, such as flex
ibility, r0 per capita, the sub
treasury plan, free, coinage of
silver, 1 6 to 1, etc., etc. All this
as made our finance plank so
complex and intricate at a
great many people have got hun2
up on some of these side issues,
and lost sight of the fundament
al principle underlying the plank.
The main question in regard to
finance system is who shall issue
our mouey and control the vol
ume. Shall this be done by the
banks and for the banks, or by
the people and for the people
who shall use them This is the
real issue at the people must
decide at the ballot box, while
the details by right ought to be
left to congress and if a
able to elect men to at body
who will stand firmly up and car
ry out this principWright in the
face of the mouey power now in
the land, wecan safely trust them
with arranging details of the
question. N
OVERPRODUCTION.
Those who declare that the de
monetization of silver has
nothing to do with the prevail
ing ''hard times'' can no longei
take refuge under the asseition
that the present depression, if
any, is only temporary, and that
there is no unusual distress. Th
distress is too apparent, too
great and too lasting to be
longer ignored or denied by the
gold-monometallists. The ai
forced to advance a reason foi it.
How, then, do they explain the
enforced idleness and resulting
poverty and unrest at exists
in a country with unlimited
natural resources, with hundreds
of thousands of unemployed men
and millions of dollais of idle
capital, where theie is no lack of
a disposition on the part of the
owners of unemployed capital to
secuie a return for its use, and
where the thousands of idle men
aie willing and anxious to work?
Overproduction is the cause,
savs one Under-consumption,
chimes another. High-sounding'
phrases, surely but both testing
on absurdities. Do our gold
monometallic friends, when the
a a me these theoiies, forget
that all producers are also con
sume! s, at men produce onlv
what thev desiie to consume? Do
they believe that man's desires
ill ever be complet ely sat isfied?
Do they not know at as soon
as one want is satisfied man will
a another? Did they ever
know a community which could
not consume more" than it did?
The limit of consumption has
never been reached, and it never
will be. There can be a partial
overpi oduction of one ai tide or
one Un of goods, of course, but
ovei production of everything at
one time is an impossibdity.
But what an absmdit it is on
the face of it to cry Ov ei produc
tion when thousands are starv
ing for want of food, when thou
sands of others are freezing for
lack of clothing, aud when many
have no home to shelter them.
To much food, too much cloth
ing, too many houses, indeed!
Are these the causes of our dis
tress? Th most hardened niono
metallistwho cries Overproduc
tion, as he cries Dishonest dollar,
endeavoiing to mislead the
people by high-sounding phrases,
will hardly dare to answer this
question in the affirmative when
placed in its tiue meaning. Yet
when he cries Overproduction
this is what he says
The leaders of the gold-mono
metallic party know well enough
the cause of the distress. Bu to
continue the depression of prices,
thus enhancing the value of the
money paid them in settlement
of debts by their desparing debt
ors, they must continue to mis
lead the" people. Hence the cry
Overproduction, a phrase with
out foundation, but which they
support by asking. Do not the
stores of iron, cotton and oolen
goods, etc., which, although re
duced in price, are unsalable,
show overproduction? They
show nothing of thekiud These
stores of unsold goods are the
result of a contracted supply of
money resulting in a depression
of prices at has made it im
possible for would-be consumers,
who are also producers, to dis
pose of their own product at
prices which will enable them to
purchase the articles which they
need. Th contraction of the
money of the world has made ex
chan gesso difficult, has made the
medium by which they must be
accomplished, money, io costly,
and made the struggle to obtain
it so severe, at the middleman,
the owner of money, absorbs all
the profit which the producer
should receive for his product,
thus leaving him without the
means to purchase these things
which he wants. Thu the pro
ducer's demands as a consumer
are limited or stopped and as
his industry brings him no result,
incentive to further production
is destroyed. Th reason at
mills and factories are closed or
running on part time, at stores
of goods remain undisposed of
while at the same time those who
should consume these goods are
suffering for their want, is at
the owners of money, by making
it scarce, have caused a falf in
prices which' enables them to
obtain such a large share of the
surplus labor at the producer
can be only a consumer to a
small extent, and as he does not
realize the expected advantages
from his industry he has no in-
centive to further production.
The middlemen, the creditors of
the world, are getting the sur
plus product of the producer.—

Everything points to an early
ei ui to bimetallism by the lead
ing nationsof the world. Th re
cent attempt to fix the single
standard upon this country for
all time, without the consent of
the people, has failed. Th con
gress refuses to take any action
at may be construed as point
ing a ay. Th senator from
the great state of New York, the
center of wealth and financial in
fluence, makes an eloquent and
apparently a sincere plea for bi
metallism. The German reich
stag or congress, atth*
1
instiga-
tion of the agricultural-indus
trial partv, adopts by an over
helming majority a request to
that govei anient to invite an in
ternational mouetarv conference
that shall a ratio between
gold and silver and rehabilitate
the white metal as a medium of
exchange throughout the world
IVaiue is known to favor both
this conference and its object,
and the other nations of southern
Europe would follow such leader
ship.
In England, the bimetallic
league is growing at an unpie
cedented rate a the more
solid, intelligent and wealthy
people, with strong probability
that the next elections will return
a huge parliamentary majority
lor bimetallism Indeed, the
keenest business men of England
frankly admit at \«'ith the
rniu-d State's, France au Ger
many united in a bimetallic
league, those countries would
soon rob England of her foreign
trade unless she -followed suit.
Contrary to the accepted idea,
our ow eastern states appear
to favor bimetallism by an im
mense majoiity, and the west
and south are a unit for it.
The orld-vv idecommercial and
agiicultural dirtiess of the past
four years has occasioned a re
versal of opinion against the
gold standard at will be satis
fied only bv a return to interna
tional bimetallism. Th more
the subject is studied in the light
of the past 20 ears of this single
standard, the more emphasis is
laid upon the truths of bimetal
lism.
With a return to this financial
policy of our fathers, the United
States is destined to enter upon
a long peiiodof substantial pros
peiit.x.. She will owe thisin great
measure to her farmers, who
have ever been persistent and
rational bimetallists, and whose
wisdom in this respect is about
to be recognized, just as the
granger legislation of 2 0 years
ago in lestrainto extortionate
railway rates, long since became
an integral part of our public
policv. Th future student of
political hist on will realize what
the present generation is ,\et
blind to—that the farmers of
Ameiica have been chief origina
toi and prime movers in reforms
which (when peifected by them
selves and otheis) have rebound
ed to the progress and welfare of
our whole people. Nor is this
surpiising, in iew of the fact
that the highest type of our pa
triotic itizenship is found in our
rural homes —[Orauge Jud
