A Maiden in Distress.
The St. Louis Republic.
Miss Helen Gould is having any
thing but a pleasant time of it these
days. What with groundless stories
of engagements and cranks of one
kind and another life has been almost
a burden to her for the past month.
Miss Gould has been living recently
at Irvington on the Hudson. It was
learned today that as many as eight
special detectives have beef! engaged
to protect her and to patrol the
premises day and night. It is im
possible for a stronger to gain access
to the grounds, and in her house Miss
Gould is as safe as if she was in a
fortress. Mr, Ambrose Van Tassel
of Glenville, a suburb of Tarrytown,
had an experience with the Gould
detectives the other day.
Mr. Van Tassel used to be in the
United States custome service, but
owing to the preponderance of Demo
cratic votes last November and the
reform tendencies of Secretary Car
lisle he has been out of a job for
some time past. Recently he took
the agency of a company manufac
turing a particular brand of salt to
Ibe Jed to horses. The salt is made
in bricks. Mr. Van Tassel was car
rying one of these bricks to ■ the
Gould home m a can about the shape
and size of an oblong oyster can,
with a handle at one end, when he
was “held up” by the chief of the
Irvington detectives. Mr. Van Tas
sel protested that he was a salt agent
and was harmless, but the detective
refused to let him pass. Van Tassel
became indignant, and thu detective
arrested him. He believed at first
that the can was an infernal machine
intended for Miss Helen Gould, but
investigation soon demonstrated
otherwise and Van Tassel was re
leased.
Public Debt Still Increasing.
The debt statement issued yester
day shows a net increase in the pub
lic debt less cash in the Treasury
during November of $6,716,138.47.
The interest-bearing debt increased
$180,000; the non-interest-bearing
debt decreased $378,356.50, and the
cash in the Treasury decreased $7,-
094,674.97.
The balance of the several classes
of debt at the close of business on
November 30, were: Interest-bear
ing debt, $585,039,220.00. Debt on
which interest has ceased since ma
turity, $1,939,380.26. Debt bearing
no interest $3,34,589,716.87. Total,
$961,668,316.17.
The certificates and Treasury notes
offset by an equal amount of cash in
the Treasury outstanding at the end
of the mouth were $599,229,302, an
increase of 811,619,441.00. The to
tal cash in the Treasury was $734,-
820,435.85. The gold reserve was
$82,959,049, net cash balance, $12,-
240,667.88. In the month there was

$2,152,043.26, the total at the close

PEOPLE’S PARTY PLATFORM.
Adopted at Ilie Omaha Conference of
Laboring People, July 4, 1892. j
Assembled upon the one hundred and '
sixteenth anniversary of the declaration ,
of independence, the People’s party of ,
America, in their first national conven
tion, invoking upon their action the
blessing of Almighty God, puts forth in
the name and on behalf of the people of
this country, the following preamble and
declaration of principles :
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. Corruption dominates the ballot
box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench.
The people are demoralized. Most of
tne States have been compelled to isolate
the voters at the polling places to pre
vent universal intimidation or bribery.
The newspapers are largely subsidized or
muzzled, public opinion silenced, busi
ness prostrated, our homes covered with
mortgages, labor impoverished, and the
land concentrating in the hands of the
capitalists. The urban workmen are de
nied 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 deger. ‘rating into
European conditions. The fruits of the
toil of millions are boldly stolen to build
up collossal fortunes for a few, unprece
dented in the history of mankind, and
the possessors of these, in (urn, despise ■
the republic and endanger liberty. From
the same prolific mode of governmental
injustice we breed the two great clas
ses—tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is
appropriated to enrich bondholders. A
vast public debt payable in legal tender
currency has been funded into gold
bearing bonds, thereby adding millions
to the burdens of the people.
THE OLD PARTIES ARRAIGNED.
Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing
potfer of gold by decreasing the value of
all forms of property, as well as human
labor, and the supply of currency is pur
posely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprises and enslave industry. A
vast conspiracy against mankind has
been organized on two continents and is
rapidly taking possession of the world.
If not met and overthrown at once it
forebodes terrible social convulsions, the
destruction of civilization, or the estab
lishment of an absolute despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a
century the struggles of the two great
political parties for power and plunder,
while grievous wrongs have been in
flicted upon the suffering people. We
charge that the controlling influences
dominating both these parties have per
mitted the exising dreadful conditions to
develop without serious effort to prevent
or restrain them. Neither do they now
promise us any substantial reform.' They
have agreed together to ignore in the
coming campaign every issue but one.
They propose to drown the outcries of
plundered people with the uproar of a
sham battle over the trriff, so that capi
talists, corporations, national banks,
rings, trusts, watered stock, the demone
tization of silver and the oppressions of
the usurers may all be lost sight of.
They proper to sacrifice oar homes,
wives and children on the altar of Mam
mon ; to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from, the mil
lionaires.
Assembled on the a’nniverstlry of the
birthday of the nation, ami fille I with
the spirit of the grand generation who
established our independence, we seek to
restore the government of the republic
to the hands of “the plain people/’ with
which class it originated.
THE WAR IS OVER.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national con
stitution— “To form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for
ourselves and our posterity.” We de
clare that this republic can only endure
as a free government while built upon
the love of tho whole people for each
other and for the nation ; that it cannot
be pinned together by bayonets ; that the
civil war is over, and that every passion
and resentment which grow out of it
must die with it, and that wo must be in
fact, as we are in name, one united
brotherhood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted by
conditions for which there is no prece
dent 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
exchanged for billions of collars of com
modities consumed in tiic ir production ;
the existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange ; the
results are falling prices, the formation
of combines and rings and the impov
erishment of the producing classes. 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 believe that the powers of govern
ment—in other words, of tjie people—
should be expanded (as in the case
, 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 oppression,
injustice and poverty’ shall eventually
cease in the land.
THREEFOLD DECLARATION.
While our symnaties as a party of re
form are naturally upon the side of
every proposition which will tend to
make men intelligent, virtuous and tem
perate, we nevertheless regard these
I questions, important as they are, as
! secondary to the great issues now pres
sing for solution, and upon which not
only our individual prosperity but tho
very existence of free institutions de
pend ; and we ask all men to first help
us to determine whether wo are to have
a republic to administer b?fore we differ
as to the conditions upon which it is to
be administered, believing that the
forces of reform this day organized will
never cease to move forward until every
wrong is remedied and equal rights and
equal privileges securely established for
all the men and women of the country.
We declare, therefore—
1. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum
mated, shall be permanent and per
petual. May its spirit enter into all
I hearts for tne salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who creates
it, and every dollar taken ftom industry’
without an eqivalent is robbery. “If any
will not work, neither shall he eat ”
The interests of rural and civic labor are
the same ; their enemies are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people must
own them, and should the government
enter upon *he work of owning and
managing any or all railroads we should
favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the
government service shall be placed nu
clei’ a civil service regulation of the most
rigid character, so as to prevent the in"
crease of the power of national admin
istration by the use of such additional
government employes.
PLATFORM PLANKS.
1. We demand a national currency, ■
sate, sound, and flexible, issued by the i
general government only, a full legal ■
tender for all debts, public and private, j
and that without the use us banking cor
porations ; a just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the peo
ple, at a tax not exceeding 2 per cent, be
provided, as set forth in the subtreasury
plan of the Farmers' Alliance, or some
better system j .also by payments in dis
charge of its obligations for public im
provements.
a. We demand free and unlimited •
coinage of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
b. We demand that the amount of cir
culating medium be’speedily increased
to not less than SSO per capita.
c. We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. We believe that the money of the
country’ should be kept as much as pos
sible in the hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all State and
national icvenue t hall be limited to the
necessary expenses if the government,
economically and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings
bauc— be established by the government
lx the deposit of tlr« earnings of
tkc people and to faeiiitat exchange.
t. Hranspsriation beirg a means of
change and a public ipA’essity. the gov
ernment should own a. operate the
railroads in the interest of the people.
а. The telegraph and telephone, like
the post-office system, being a necessity’
for the transportation of news, should
bo owned . .d Operated in oy the govern
ment in the interest of the people.
3. The land, inelu ling ali the national
resources of wealth, is the heritage of all
the people, and should not be monopo
lized for speculative 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 and held for actual settlers
only’.
bUPPLeMENT TO THE PLATFORM.

Subscribe for the Wool Hat,
It was the child of necessity. Startec
by one-gallows plow-boy who had
never set a type: printed at first on a
press made out of a tobacco box, in the
face of ridicule and the most determined
hide-bound partisan opposition, it has
advocated the caase of the people with
out fear or favor Its success has been
phenomenal, and it is now firmly estab
lished as an organ of the people’ and a
thorn in the flesh of organized rings. Its
course in the past is its pledge for the
future, and if you want a live paper from
Richmond county, subscribe for THE
WOOL HAT.
