be paid with the bullion, if not, with commodities. Trade is not carried on between nations with money as a means of circulating medium at all. Get that forever out of your head. Trade is never carried on between nations by means of a circulating medium but al vays by an exchange of commodi ties. Always. And it matters not whether that commodity is pork, or beef, or wheat or rye, or silk, or gold or silver, it is commodities, and we produce enough bullion in our mines here that if we need bullion to settle the balances of trade we produce it here. God, away back in the coun cils of eternity locked up in the great safe of the universe, and put his time lock on it, gold and silver enough in the mountains of America to furnish the American people with the means of increasing the prosperity and civi lization of this great thriving nation, and when you come to make money you want to make it for the Ameri can people, and you don’t want to make money to take wings and tiy away or silently fold its tents like the Arab and be off to another country. What is the constitution? Your fathers, when they framed that won derful instrument, w ere inspired to believe that this nation should be a savior on which should be fought the great battle of liberty and they un derstood that Congress should have the pow er to regulate the value of money and keep it in the hands of the people instead of being put into the hands of speculators and money changers and manipulators of' Wall street. [Applause.] The constitu tion says that Congress shall regulate its value. It is regulated today by the money-changers of Europe and America, and this regulation is that the value of the silver dollar shall be taken away from the people of the United States and put into the hands of the money-changers of the world. What we w ant in this country and what I believe the conservative men or all parties want in this country is the 412.1 grains that met with the ap proval of George Washington, James Madison, Monroe, the Adamses, An drew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. For w hose interests were they ask ing it ? We have not gold enough to carry on the business of this coun try, and there is no law regulating the amount of the production of gold, is there? It is a mere matter of chance whether the earth will continue to produce gold enough to maintain even its present inadequate attitude toward the business of the world. It is a mere matter ot chance. It no longer needs productions, we don’t know whether it is in our mountains or not, but the law governing the in crease of the human family, of the population, is the fixed law’, and you can calculate the increase of our pop ulation with almost absolute certain ty. That is no matter of chance, but the production of the’precious metals, and gold in particular, is purely a matter of chance and yet currency must be based upon gold, and if gold is a matter of chance then your busi ness is a matter of chance, and your success in business is a matter of chance. Thus you want to subject our mighty conflict in civilization to thepporerw r er of accident and chance, and then wonder that there should be anything like political discontent or upheaval in this great country of ours. Let us then have the unlimit ed coinage of silver at its present ratio. Well, but suppose it gives us too much good gold and silver in this country? If it gives us too much money your Congresses still continue to meet and your Congress can come to your rescue if you get too much money as w’ell as if you hadn’t had enough. You would still be master of the situation, and it is not within the range of possibility, ladies and gentlemen, that you will ever see the day when either gold or silver, or the two metals combined and coined up into money will furnish you one half of the circulating medium required by the business of this country. Compare w ith the wonderful business transactions, c >mpare the aggregate business of the United States in their domestic relations with each other with the little bagatelle of your farm property. It is a trifle compared with it. What you want is a sum of money that w’ill enable you to conduct your affairs upon a cash basis. There is not a lady or gentleman listening to me here today but dreads in their heart, to go forth and purchase the necessities of life on credit. You don’t like to do it. Why ? Because your sense of business propriety tells you it is wrong to mortgage the fu ture. Tiie good book has said to us and all generations, “OW E NO MAN ANYTHING.” That is sound business. It says again that the borrowers are servants of the lender and the rich ruling over the poor, and w’hen the Bible tells you to owe no man anything, you had better take the advice. Remem ber, my brother, that you are living under an economical system here to day where ninety-two per cent, is car ried on credit and eight per cent, cash, and I have the authority of the statistics of the currency in Wash ington, and the analysis of it made by President Whitney, of the bank er’s association of California, w’ho lives at Los Angeles, and he says if the banks were called upon today to pay what they owe to depositors, and aie confined to pay gold exclusively, that they could not pay two cents on the dollar ; and if they pay gold and silver, they could not pay over three cents on the dollar ; and if they pay in currency, gold and silver, they could not pay over ten cents on the dollar, and ihat is exactly true ac cording to the statistics here. And if the banks were called upon today, there is not money enough in actual circulation to enable the people to pay what they owe the banks alone ten cents on the dollar. Yet we are afiaid. Oh, w’ell; but if the bullion ow’ner is going to make the difference between the bul lion value on the dollar, and the coin value on the dollar, that is a conces sion then on the part of the legisla tion that they are to blame. (Ap plause.) It has been legislated down to seventy cents on the dollar basis, and what does that enable England to do ? It enables England to take your seventy-cent dollar as bullion, and it is w orth in India a hundred cents, and on every cargo of wheat that they buy in India with your money they realize in London and Liverpool the difference, and that comes out of the w’heat raisers in this country. It brings the wheat raiser of India in competition with the w’heat raiser of this country, and has the same effect on cotton. But, my friend-*, lhe bul lion owner would not realize the profit you think he would. Let me show you. The very mo ment you have free and unrestricted coinage of silver in this country it is true that the coin value and bullion value will be about equal. If I take it and have it coined and own the bullion, then I own the dollar. Then I have an increase in the circulating medium of this country to the extent of the coin that would be realized. That puts that much coin in circulation. Whai effect does that have? Wal ker, one of the best authorities in this country, says this in his book on po litical economy: “That other things being equal, the average price of all commodities is regulated by the amount of money in circulation, and this is as invariable as any other law in nature.” If I throw a ball in air as soon as the force that propelled it is lost it will come down to the earth. He says that this is as inva riable as that law. Suppose I have that coined up. The bullion that is shipped here, even though it should reach here, there is not one penny weight that can come here, but the very moment that it is coined up your money is increased to that ex tent that it brings up the price of your day labor, your corn, your beef, your hay, your pork and your farm. Then if I come and try to buy your w’heat at the price that we have be fore the unlimited coinage of silver you would laugh at me and say : ‘lt is not 68 cents now, it is a dollar a bushel.’ Who makes the profit, the man that sold the wheat or the man that sold the bullion? This profit W’ill be distributed among the whole people. The producers of w’ealth in this country will get it. And who are the producers of w’ealth in this country? Those w’ho toil in work shops, in mines, in the fields, those of you who are listening to me here to day, and who feed the open, hungry mouth of the world; who feed and clothe and shelter the world; you are the men who produce the W’ealth of the country, and the free coinage of silver will fall into your pockets instead of the men who own the sil ver bullion. Who owns the money of this country ? The few’. 1 AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE BANKERS. I am above any assault of that kind upon any respectable class of our fel low-citizens. The bankers of this country are just as good and no bet ter than any other class of our fel low-citizens. I don’t make war upon the men and upon their callings, but Ido upon the system. I don’t object to a man being rich. It is his duty to accumulate w’ealth, if by honorable means. lam like the Dutchman. I wish everybody was rich; it would be so much better for the poor. But I w’ant to have a system of political economy that is adequate to our growing civilization, that has some respect for the wants of our people w’ho are lowly and engaged in the production of wealth. Now, my brother says, “Germany is opposed to the free coinage of silver.” Who rules Germany? The laboring people of Germany ? Is the financial system of Germany constructed with the refer ence to the welfare of the producers of wealth of that country or to the welfare of the nobiiity and of the moneyed interests of that country? I need not answ’er that, for you all know the answ’er. Is the financial system of England adapted to their monarchy and aristocracy ? Cer tainly, it works to it like a charm to the advantage of the nobility. It does not w’ork to the advantage of the la boring people. And yet w’e have in this country the exact English system of finance; the monarchical system of finance in a republic ; the devil in | side of a body of a saint. Who is j here today who will contend for a moment that this growing republic of i ours w’ould today, were the motto, i that glorious motto of the Farmer’s Union that says : ‘Equal rights to all I and special privileges to none,’ suffer, if that were carried out. That is the I spirit of the golden rule, my broth ers. What is the golden rule? “As yen would that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.” That is the motto of the Alliance. “Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.” That is the golden rule in a new setting, and that is all it is in the w’orld. Nobody’ w’ishes to change upon revolutionary lines. Nobody wishes to do it hastily, but what this country 7 needs is that it should be done upon conservative lines. A republican system of finance that shall be in harmony w’ith our republi can system of government. [Cheers.] And w r e believe in the use of two metals, as Washington did, as Madi son did, as Franklin, and Monroe, and Abraham Lincoln did ; and ev erybody did until a few purse-proud European capitalists put it into the minds of a few 7 weak-minded Ameri can statesmen that idea of inaugurat ing a system for the benefit of a class of people who lived by usury and not by 7 the sw 7 eat of their faces. [Cheers.] Now, my friends, “With charity for all and malice toward none,” I abjure you and I appeal to you, w’ithout dis tinction of party, to investigate these questions, and to investigate them honestly 7 , and, for the sake of human ity, for the sake of your families, and for the countless posterity that is to follow In this country, I ask that you shall lay aside in this great political contest in this year of our Lord 1892, that you LAY ASIDE POLITICAL IDOLATRY ; that you shall establish strength; that you shall investigate, and hav ing found the truth, that you shall show the world that you have the courage of your convictions, and that you will have the courage to go to the polls and cast your ballot on honor and not timidity for any 7 man or woman on the face of the earth. I ask you to take these matters into careful account for in my judg ment we are nearing a fearful crisis. The republic today is a tinder box, the train is laid by the long operation of our past laws and aristocratic financial system that may be ignited by a single spark, and in a moment W’hen you little look for it, in an hour W’hen you think not, this republic may be hurled into atoms and led to bloodshed. As I talk to you this af ternoon scores of human bodies lie in the morgue in one of the labor cen ters of this country; a veritible bat tle has been fought, and the recur rence of these things should be dreaded and avoided by 7 all good men and women, and it is our duty 7 to bring to bear upon the solution of economical questions all the best heart and best knowledge of this re public that w r e may bring the ship of state through the stormy billow’s safely 7 to the dock, and honor her a true ship of state upon which w 7 e can surely 7 embark w’ith our human freights and destinies and avoid all the breakers of civil war, and better than tha 7 , avoid the crushing into hopeless poverty the great mass of the laboring poor. God has reserved to himself the pow’er and the right to punish those who oppress the poor, and has said, “That nation which oppresses the poor, I w’ill judge.” Alliance Notice.

We endorse and reaffirm the preamble, resolutions and platform adopted by the People’s Partv in national convention as sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. We indorse the ticket nominated and pledge the party when it shall come into power in the State to frame and administer the laws in the spirit of the Omaha platform, which is equal justice to all, and special privileges to none. 2. We condemn the convict lease sys tem. 3. We demand rigid economy in all public masters and inist on every pos sible reduction of taxation during the present impoverished condition of the people. Ana w’e call public attention to the fact that the producing interest in both city and country is bearing more than its fair share of taxation. National Platform, Adopted at Omaha, July 4th, 1892. Assemnlcd upon the one hundred and six tecnfli anniversary of the declaration of inde pendence, the People’s Party of America, in their first national convention, invoking upon their action the blessing of the Almighty God, put forth in the name of the people of this country, the following preamble and declara tion of principles; 13 The conditions which surround us best justify our co-operation; we meet In the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Corrup- j tion dominates the ballot box, legislatures, congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench, * The people are demoralized ; most of the states have been compelled to isolate voters •at polling places to prevent universal in timidation or bribery. Newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated; our homes covered with mortgages; labor im poverished ; and the land concentrating in the hands of capitalists. The urban work men 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 estab lished to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European condi tions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors' of these in turn despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice, we breed two great classes—tramps and millionaires. National power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders; a vast public debt pay able in legal tender currency has been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the peo ple. Silver, which has been accepted as coin since the dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to the purchasing pow er 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 enter prise and enslave industry. A vast con spiracy against mankind has been organized on the two continents and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convulsions, the destruction of civil ization or the establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more than a quar ter of a century the struggles of two great political parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon the suffering people. We charge that the controlling influence dominating both these parties has permitted the exist ing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise us any sub stantial reform. They have agreed togeth er to ignore in the coming campaign every issue but one. They propose to drown out the cries of the plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, national banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, de monetization of silver and the oppression of the usurers may all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives and children on the altar of mammon; to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption funds from millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday of the nation and filled with the spirit of the grand general-in-chief who es tablished our independence, we seek to re store the government of the republic to the hands of “the plain people” with whose class it originated. We assert our purposes to be identical with the purposes of the national constitu tion —to form a more perfect union and es tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the bless ings of liberty for ourselves and our pos terity. We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the 1 ove of the whsle people for each other, and for the nation ; that it can not be pinned together by bayonets; but the civil war is over and that every passion and resentment which grew out of it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brotherhood. Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there are no prece dents in the history of the world. Our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value, which must within a few weeks or months, be exchang ed for billions of dollars of the commodi ties consumed in their production. The currency supply is wholly inade quate to make the exchange. The results are falling prices; formation of combines and rings; and the impoverishment of the producing class. We pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform. We be lieve that the powers of government—in other words of the people—should be ex panded as in the case of the postal service, as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people and the teachings of experience shall justify, to the end that op pression, injustice and poverty shall event ually cease in the land. While our sym pathies, as a party of reform, are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions —important as they are— as secondary to the great issues now press ing for solution and upon which not only our individual prosperity but the very exist ence of free institutions depend, and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to ad minister, before we differ as to the condi tions upon which it is to be administered, believing that the forces of reform this day organized will never cease to move for ward until every wrong is righted and equal rights and equal privileges securely established for all men and women of this country. We declare, therefore: 1. That the union of the Labor forces of the Uniled States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual. May its spirit enter into all hearts for the salva tion of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. 2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and every dollar taken from industry with out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will not work, neither shall he eat.” The in terests of rural and civic labor are the same; their enemies are identical. 3. We believe that the time has come when railroad corporations will either own the people or the people must own the rail roads : and should the government enter upon the work of owning and managing all railroads, we. should favor an amendment to the constitution by which all persons engaged in the government service shall be placed under a civil service regulation of the most rigid character, so as to prevent an increase of the power of the national administration by the use of such addition al government employes. We demand a national currency, safe sound and flexible, issued by the general government only, a full legal teuder for all debts, public and private, and that with out the use of banking corporations; a just, equitable and efficient means of distribu tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex | ceed 2 per cent per annum be provided as ' set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the 1 Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system; also by payment in discharge of its ob ligations for public improvements. We demand the free and unlimited coin age of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of the cir culating medium be speedily increased to not less than fifty dollars per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the money of the coun try should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand, that all state and national revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings banks be established by’ the government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people and to facilitate exchange. Transportation being a means of ex change and a public necessity, the govern ment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. The tele graph and the telephone, like the postal system, being a necessity for the trans mission of news, should be owned and op erated by the government in the interest of the people. The land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All lands now held by railroads and other corpora tions in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held foj actual settlers only. Supplemental Resolutions. Whereas, other questions have been present ed for our consideration, we hereby submit the following, not as a part of the platform of the People’s Party, but as resolutions expres sive of the sentimr nt of this convention. First—Resolved, That we demand a free bal lot and a fair count in all elections and pledge ourselves to secure it to every legal voter without federal intervention through the adoption by the States of the unperverted Australian or secret ballot system. Second—Resolved, That the revenue derived from a graduated income tax should be applied to the reduction of the burden of taxation now resting upon the domestic industries of this country. Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and sailors. Fourth—Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world, and crowds out our wage earners; and we de nounce the present ineffective laws against contract labor, and demand the further re striction of undesirable immigration. Fifth—Resolved, That we cordially pympa thize with the efforts of orga tized working men to shorten the hours of labor, and demand a rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour law on government work, and ask that a pen alty clause be added to the said law. Sixth—Resolved, That we regard the main tenance of a large standing army of mercena ries, known as the Pinkerton system, as a men ace to our liberties, and w*e demand its aboli tion ; and we condemn the recent invasion of the territory of Wyoming by the hired assas sins of plutocracy, assisted by federal officials Seventh—Resolved, That we commend to the favorable cons.deration of the people and the reform press the legislative system know’ll as the initiative and referendum. Eight—Resolved, That we favor a constitu tional provision limiting the office of President and vice-President to one term, and providing for the election of Senators of the United States by a direct vote of the people. Ninth—Resolved, That we oppose any sub sidy or national aid to an private corporation for any purpose. “The People’s Party at the outset to secure permanent control of the party organization of the people unaffected by the interests of those in public service does hereby in national con vention assembled at Omaha on the 4th of July, 1892, establish this ordinance as funda mental law of party organization, viz: No per son holding any office or position of profit, trust or emolument under the federal or any state or municipal government, including Sen ators, Congressmen and members of the Leg islature, State and local, shall be eligible to sit or vote in any convention of this party, and a copy of this ordinance shall be annexed by ev ery call for any future convention of the par ty.” RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY. Resolved, That this convention sympathizes with the Knights of Labor in their righteous contest with the tyrannical combine of cloth ing manufacturers of Rochester and declares it to be the duty of all who hate tyranny and oppression to refuse to purchase the goods made by said manufacturers or to patronize any merchants who sell such goods.
