Victory’s Nigh! BY C. H. CREED, SMITH, DAKOTA. Gome my good old fellows, come, And join in freedom’s song; Join in it with a mighty haste, And move the folks along; Join in it all ye knights of labor What a mighty throng VV hile we are marching to victory. CHORUS. Come on ! come on ! the victory’s nigh ; •Come on ! come on ! we’ll get there by and by; So we’ll join together in the nations of the free, And we’ll make a strike for victory. We'll work to bring high taxes down And raise our wages up, e’ll work to knock the bankers out And put them in the soup, For Molly and the baby, oh ! Our cause we’ll ne’er give up While we go marching to victory. CHORUS. We're young in years but growing strong Working for Uncle Sam, For transportation to control Wheat gamblers just the same To drive monopolies from our homes And the protective sham, While we go marching to victory. CHORUS. Then leave the D. O. P. my friend, And join us on the way, The People’s Party is marching on And it has come to stay; For right is might and truth is power And we will win the day While we go marching to victory.

Platform Adopted by the Confederated Industrial Organizations at St. Louis, Feb. 22-24, 1892. Preamble. This, the first great labor conference of the United States and of the world, representing all divisions of urban and rural organized in dustry, assembled in national congress, invok ing upon its action the blessing and protection of Almighty God, puts forth to and for the pro ducers of the nation this declaration of union and independence. The conditions which sur round us best justify our co-operation. We meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot box, the legis latures, congress, and touches even the ermine of the benoh. The people are demoralized. Many of the states have been compelled to iso late the voters at the polling places in order to prevent universal intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are subsidized or muzzled, pubtic opinion silenced, business prostrated, our homes covered with mortgages, labor impover ished and the land concentrating in the hands of capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organization for self protection; imported pauperized labor beats down their wages; a hireling standing army, unrecognized by our laws, is established to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating to European conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprece dented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of gov ernmental injustice breed the two great classes —paupers and millionaires. The national power to create money is appropriated to en rich bondholders; silver, which has been ac cepted as coin since the dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to the purchasing power of gold by decreasing the value of all forms of property, as well as human labor, and the supply of currency is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterprise and en slave industry. A vast conspiracy against man kind has been organized on two continents, and is taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forbod«ft terri ble social convulsions, the destruction of civili zation, or the establishment of an absolute despotism. In this crisis of human affairs the intelligent working people and producers of the United States have come together in the name of peace, order and society to defend liberty, pros perity and justice. We declare our union and independence. We assert our purpose to support the political organization which represents our principles. We charge that the controlling influence dominating the old political parties have al lowed the existing dreadful conditions to de velop without serious effort to restrain or pre vent them. They have agreed together to ignore, in the coming campaign, every issue but one. They propose to drown the outcries of a plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff; so that corpora tions, national banks, rings, trusts, “watered stock,” tho demonetization of silver, and the oppression of usurers, may all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice our homes and chil dren upon the altar of mammon; to destroy the hopes of the multitude in order to secure cor ruption funds from the great lords of plunder. We assert that a political organization, repre senting the political principles herein stated, is necessary to redress the grievances of which we complain. Assembled on the anniversary of the birth of the illustrious man who led the first great revo lution on this continent against oppression, filled with the sentiments which actuated that grand generation, we seek to restore the gov ernment of the republic to the hands of the “plain people,” with whom it originated. Our doors are open to all points of the compass. We ask all honest men to join with anef help us. In order to restrain the extortions of aggre gate capital, to drive the money changers out of tlie temple, to form a perfect union, estab lish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, pro vide for the common defense, promote the gen eral welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity we do ordain and establish the following platform of prin ciples: First—We declare the union of the labor forces of the United States this day accom plished permanent and perpetual. May its spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Second—Wealth belongs to him who created it. Every dollar taken from industry without an equivalent is robbery. If any one will not ■work, neither shall he eat. The interests of rural and urban labor are the same, their ene mies are identical. Platform. FINANCE. First—We demand a national currency safe, sound and flexible, issued by the general gov ernment only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; and that without the use of banking corporations a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent, be pro vided, as set forth in the subtreasury plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system; also, by payments in discharge of its obliga tions for public improvements. (a.) We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver. (b.) We demand that the amount of circulat ing medium be speedily increased to not less than fifty dollars per capita. (c.) We demand a graduated income tax. (d.) We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand all na tional and state revenue shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government eco nomically and honestly administered. (e.) We demand that postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe de posit of the earnings of the people and to facil itate exchange. LAND. Second—The land, including all the natural resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and should not be monopolized for spec ulative 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 ana held for actual settlers only. TRANSPORTATION. Third—Transportation being a means of ex change and a public necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads in the in terest of the people. (a.) The telegraph and telephone, like the postoffice system, being a necessity for trans mission of news, should be owned and oper ated by the government in the interest of the people. THE CORN BELT Offers the greatest opportunities to actual far mers and homeseekers of any section in the United States. The soil is unexcelled for fer tility. Water good. Climate temperate and very healthful; settled by intelligent and progressive people, with the best of social, re ligious and educational advantages. Land is now rapidly appreciating in value, but the nest improved land can be bought at from $6 to $lO per acre and good improved farms from $lO to sls per acre. Fifteen years residence in this section, five of them spent, in locating settlers, has given me a thorough acquaintance with the land in this section. Full information as to the country with prices, terms and description of a large list of land which can be bought very cheap, will be given by addressing E. S. JOHNSTON, Mitchell, S. D.
