4 THE PLATFORM. ADOPTED BY THE PEOPLE’S PARTY BT. LOUIS CONVENTION. A Declaration of Principle* Which Should Enli.t the Hearty Support of Bvery American Citizen Who Lore. Hi* Coun try. The People’s Party, assembled in na tional convention, reaffirms its allegi ance to the principles declared by the founders of the republic, and also to the fundamental principles of just govern ment as enunciated in the platform of the party in 1892. We recognise that through the connivance of the present and preceding administrations the coun try has reached a crisis in its national life, as predicted in our declaration four years ago, and that prompt and patriotic action is the supreme duty of the hour. We realize that while we have political independence our financial and indus trial independence is yet to be attained by restoring to our country the consti tutional control and exercise of the functions necessary to a people's govern ment, which functions have been basely surrendered by our public servants to corporate monopolies. The influence of European money changers has been more potent in shaping legislation than the voice of the American people. Ex ecutive power and patronage have been used to corrupt our legislatures and de feat the will of the people, and plu tocracy has thereby been enthroned upon the ruins of Democracy. To restore the government intended by the fathers, and for the welfare and prosperity of this and future generations, we demand the establishment of an economic and finan cial system which shall make us masters of our own affairs and independent of European control by the adoption of the following declaration of principles t FINANCE. 1. We demand a national money, safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without the interven tion of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people and through the lawful disbursement of the government 2. We demand the free and unre stricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, with out waiting for the consent of foreign nations. 8. We demand the volume of circu lating medium be speedily increased to an amount sufficient to meet the de mands of the business and population of this country and to restore the just level of prices of labor and production. 4. We denounce the sale of bondsand the increase of the public interest bear ing debt made by the present adminis tration as unnecessary and without au thority of law, and that no more bonds be issued except by specific act of con gress. 6. We demand such legislation as will prevent the demonetization of the lawful money of the United States by private contract. 6. We demand that the government, in payment of its obligations, shall use its option as to the kind of lawful mon ey in which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and preceding ad ministrations for surrendering this op tion to the holders of government obli gations. 7. We demand a graduated income tax, to the end that aggregated wealth shall bear its just proportion of taxa tion, and we regard the recent decision of the supreme court relative to the in come tax law as a misinterpretation of the constitution and an invasion of the rightful powers of congress over the svbject of taxation. 8. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate exchanga TRANSPORTATION. 1. Transportation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people and on a nonpartisan basis, to the end that all may be accorded the same treat ment in transportation, and that the tyranny and political power now exer cised b* • the great railroad corporations, whiou .jsult in the impairment, if not the destruction, of the political rights and personal liberties of the citizens, may be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually in a man ner consistent with sound public policy. 2. The interest of the United States in the public highways built with pub lic moneys and the proceeds of extensive grants of land to the Pacific railroads should never be alienated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and protected for the general welfare, as provided by the laws organizing such railroads. The fore closure of existing liens of the United States on these roads should at once fol low default in the payment thereof by the debtor companies, and at the fore closure sales pf said roads the govern ment shall purchase the same if it be comes necessary to protect its interests therein or if they can be purchased at a reasonable price, and the government shall operate said railroads as public highways for the benefit of the whole people and not in the interest of the few, under suitable provisions for pro tection of life and property, giving to all transportation interests equal privi leges and equal rates for fares and ( freights. 8 We denounce the present infamous schemes for refunding these debts and demand that the laws now applicable thereto be executed and administered according to their true intent and spirit. 1 4. The telegraph, like the postoffice system, being a necessity for the trans mission of news, should be owned and operated by the government in the in- ' terest of the people. LAND. 1. The true policy demands that the national and state legislation shall be such as will ultimately enable every prudent and industrious citizen to se cure a home, and that land should not i be monopolized for speculative purposes. All lands now held by railroads and Other companies in excess of their actual needs should by lawful means be re claimed by the government and held for actual settlers, and private land monop oly, as well as alien ownership, should be prohibited. 2. We condemn the frauds by which the land grant Pacific railroad com panies have, through the connivance of the interior department, robbed multi tudes of actual bona fide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims, and we demand legislation by congress which will enforce the exemption of mineral land from such grants, after as well as before patent 8. We demand that bona fide settlers on all public lands be granted free homes, as provided in the national homestead law, and that no exception be made in the case of Indian reserva tions when opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented come under this demand. DIRECT LEGISLATION. We favor a system of direct legisla tkn> through the initiative and referen dum under proper oonatitottonal aafe gnardA OXNRHAL PBOPOSmOKB. 1. We demand the election of presi dent, vice president and United States . senators by a direct vote of the people 2. We tender to the patriotic people I erf Cuba our deepest sympathy in their heroic struggle for political freedom and independence, and we believe the time has come when the United States, . the great republic of the world, should ! recognize that Cuba is, and of right ought to be, a free and independent state. 8. We favor home rule in the terri toriee and the District of Columbia and the early admission of the territories as states. 4. All public salaries should be made to correspond to the price of labor and its products. I 5. In times of great industrial de pression idle labor should be employed on public works as far as practicable. 1 6. The arbitrary course of the courts in assuming to imprison citizens for in direct contempt and ruling them by in junction should be prevented by proper legislation. | 7. We favor just pensions for our dis- abled Union soldiers. I 8. Believing that the elective fran ohise and untrammeled ballot are essen tial to a government for and by the peo ple, the People’s Party condemns the wholesale system of disfranchisement adopted in some of the states as unre publioan and undemocratic, and we de clare it to be the duty of the several state legislatures to take such action as will secure a full, free and fair ballot and an honest count. | 9. While the foregoing propositions constitute the platform on which oar party stands, and for the vindication of which its organization will be main tained, we recognize that the great and pressing issue of the pending campaign upon which the present presidential •lection will turn is the financial quos | tian, and upon this great and specific j issue between the parties we cordially 1 invite the aid and co-operation of all or ganizations and citizens agreeing with us upon this vital question. NO MORE BUTLER. Ano*her Populist Paper Calls for a Change. W. S Morgan of Buz*. Saw fame has come to the front, with cond* mnat on < f Butler, of North Carolina If the lead? g Populists of the country would take a firm sta *d against Butler simi lar to Watson and Morgan there would be a noticeable change for the better at once. Why not Populists and the Populist press open fire on an enemy in our ranks, why let a traitor continue as our national chairman, after hav ing crippled the party almost beyond recovery. If the national committee fail to en d rse Butler’s action why don’t they bold a meeting. A m jority of the com mittee has ’he right to call a meeting If Butler refuses, a m?j *rity, also have the right to select another ch-irman. What is the matter with our national committee any wav and are w'. becom ing so boss r’dden this early in life, that one man can drag us down to ruin ? What is the Populist status in the west, where is the man or men who are more resp msible than Butler? His treachery is driving western Populists back to the republican party. See the situation in Kansas, are w« to quietly submit to such man»g»ment? If there is no redress our cause is help less Let the national committee meet Butler or no Butler I If they fail to meet, let the Nashville conference committee take the matter in hand, there is no reason in a party r taining a man as chairman, whose every move is against that party’s in- West A man who has the pr< sump ’ion of the d 1, the more people g*ve away to such men, the worse matters become.

Redding Talks of Butter and Daily Products. Col. R. J. Rfdding, director of the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at Griffin and President of the Georgia Dairymen’s Association spoke of the p-ice of cotton and butter in his address at the annual session of the Association in Macon last week. The advantages of dairying were shown as follows: “1 Dairying takes less fertility from the soil than other brances of farming A ton of wheat takes $7 out of the soil and sells it for less than Jl6. A ton of nutter takes 50 cents worth of plant food from the soil and sells for from 8400 to 8600. Comment is needless • 2 Butter is a condensed product Nothing can be made rn the farm that will bring so much per pound. *•3. Butt* ris a fini-hed product, It is ready for the consumer when it leaves tbe farm. “4 Dairying brings in a constant in come. It is not a one crop-a-year plan of revenue. “6 On a dairy farm the work is bet ter divided. The grain harvest comes so close to the haying that it bridges over. “7. Skill and brain work get better pay in dairying than in any other branch of farming. ‘ 8. There is more room at the top— more possibilities at dairying than at any other farming pursuit. ‘‘9 Take the country through and there is no other farm work so well suited to women as dairying.” Statistics show that the : nnual pro duct of mi k amounts to less than 30 gallons to each individual or 1 pint per day. In butter, less than 8 pounds per person annually Without the supply imported from other sta es, tbe aver age supply would be less than the third f an ounce per day for each person. Recently there has been a great in crease in dairy products in all parts of the state (wk /rx ■pL v|ra® N° matter \&b& how much of f write an ex cel'ent business band.

Contributions have been received for the fund recently started, which is be ing raised by the Representative for the purpose of purchasing a h r >me for Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, of Kansas, who has been ruthlessly deprived of the shelter for her children, by a money lending corporation, for one-half the amount loaned upon it, and a judgment obtained for the remainder which they propose to use in following her up to reduce her to absolute want. Her offense is the eloquent advocacy of Populist principles I ask every lover of justice and fair play to send his con tribution to me at Hastings, Minn., and I will see that the money is acknowl edged in the Representative, and scru pulously applied to the purpose desig nated. I also call upon all Populist newspapera throughout the country to give notice to their readers of the movement, and request their subscrib ers to contribute to the fund. When enough has been secured to purchase the home, it will be put in the hands of trustees, so that Mrs. Lease’s creditors cannot get it or seize upon the pots and pans and kettles therein. Let us show the world that Populists can be as grateful to those who help them as are the plutocrats. If we can make this movement a success it will be an honor to every People’s Party man in the state and in the United States. Let ea”h friend of reform send in as much as he can spare. Ignatius Donnelly. Hastings, Minn. “Bismarck and Bleichroeder’’ Pamphlet. A pamphlet has just appeared in Germany, entitled “Bismarck and Bleichroeder.” Its author is a landed proprietor and a nobleman of the name of Baron Tiebat-Daher, s. member of that old Junker party to which Bis marck formerly belonged. He profes ses ti give details with regard to the present fortune of the ex-Chancellor and how it was acquired. After the French war the Prince received from the nation two estates of no great val ue, which, coupled with his own pater nal estate brought him in a small in come. He thereupon intrusted the management of his private monetary affairs to Baron Bleichroeder, tbe Ber lin banker, with the result that he has now a fortune of 150 000 000 marks. This, the author contends, could only have been made by S’ock Exchange speculation, based on the knowledge the Prince derived from his position at the head of the German Government, and which he confided to the banker. The latter, it may be remembered, was after the war of 1870, intrusted with all the negotiations in connection with tbe payment of the enormous war in demnity frsm France, and is understood to have realized an immense sum in the transaction. Don’t Get Discouraged. If there is anything in the present situation to cause the fr’ends of reform to rest on their oars, we fail to see it. If taxation has grown lighter or the apostles of mamon have let up in their oppression of the poor we have never been advised of it ♦. We should not give up because we sometimes despair of ever accomplish ing our aim, or turn our backs to the enemy because they seem more than we can overcome, but we should be hr and courageous to fight the bat tle to victory. Remember comrades that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the truth and if we take that for our weapon we can take the citadel of the enemy and break down her wal's of iniquity. That we have many and great obsta cles to overcome should not dampen the ardor of our spirits, but should re new our zeal and strengthen our hearts to win the battle for tne battle’s sake. A few consecrated, determined men fighting for a cause that is just and riyht can accomplish more in the end than all the hordes of plunderers that are aloose in our land today. A few brave knights of honor can stand at bay all tbe apostles of falsehood, and sting their wicked hearts with truth, and cause a blush of shame to crimson the cheek of fraud. So be brave to fight the battle, cour ageous to uphold the standard of truth, stand persecution without a murmur, grow in determination to achieve your purpose and we will win the battle never fear —Cordele Herald.

The History of Mar rlage of all kinds, in all countries, the curi ous experiments some nations have made, ancient and modern, barbarous and civilized, help us to know what not to do. The sexual Immorality growing out of unsatisfied nature and marriage misfits, vhe history of prostitution, its prevalence, allurements, dangers, results, t lie efforts of religions and asceticism to sub due and control the dominant passion—all these Btxu les are fruitful in indicating pit fa Ils to avoid.

I THERE are chap- yK. ters equally useful In showing you “how to be happy though married.” ’ Many married peo : pie would get along better if they knew BBBAjff how to adapt them selves to each other, and would try to un derstand one an other’s needs. They ought to read what “i’luln Home Talk” WfiSrelßßgV savs about the true philosophy of inter course, the ’ ‘natur nl relations of the —eexes,” the Influence on health and evil of perversions, “the wormwood that embitters social life,” etc., etc. Many will find much satisfaction in the chapter on barrenness which has been the means of great joy to many a childless pair, aiding them to discover and remove the obstacle. Others like its unique “essays for married people” treating of equal ity, sleeping apart, excess, moderation, jealousy, Im difference, prevention, continence, food for preg nant women, the explanation of child-making, why children of second husband resemble the first, etc., etc. In short, men and women hesitate to talk with their home physicians concerning many delicate ques tions that perplex them and that they really need to understand, and which this book will enlighten them on—but remember that if it fail to do so, tbe author stands ready to make vv for the omission by replying free of charge to special letters of enquiry. i
