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.
Butler should have been removed
long ago. Let him be asked to resign
and if he refus'S that is sufficient!
Populists may think lightlv of Butler’s
actions as this is an off vear. But his
work is deep seated, it is gra uallr
wasting away the v tals of our partv
There is no poiiay in retaining such
men, we opp**je open opposition why
not opnose a secret enemy
The dea with Butler and Jones is to
keep the western and southern Popu
list divided. When the state committee

Are often produced by improper treatment of
certain diseases. This is especially the case in
those private diseases peculiar to men and
women. It is therefore best to consult spec
ialists of established reputation, like
Dr. Hathaway & Co.
They are true, genuine specialists and do no’
countenance any of the fraudulent method*
employed by many others, such of free pre
scriptlons. free samples, COD medicines,
etc., in the treatment of such diseases. Con
eultation with them is free, and if you decide
to place your case in their hands you will be
sure of obtaining satisfactory results. They
are the leading and expert specialists of this
country.
YOUNG AND MIDDLE-AGED MEN who
are suffering from the effects of past or pres
ent Indiscretions, youthful follies, which
break down the entire system and make life a
burden to yourself and friends, should not
neglect to get cured by our method, which is
safe and sure. Remember it Is a permanent
cure, also

BETTER THAN COTTON.
Col. 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

whose affections are already engaged, hesi
tates to assume the obligations of wifehood
and motherhood, because she feels unfitted
for them by some physical weakness or
disease.
The special ailments to which the femi
nine organism is liable, not only unfit a wo
man for happy wifehood and motherhood,
but incapacitate her for any sphere of action.
No woman can discharge tne daily duties of
any position with comfort or satisfaction
who is constantly weighed down by head
aches, backaches and dragging, weakening
drains.
Troubles of this nature are not by any
means a necessity of womanhood. They
are positively and completely cured by Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It imparts
genuine health and strength to the womanly
organs. It was devised for this one purpose
by an eminent specialist in this particular
field of practice.
“ For several years I suffered with prolapsus of
the uterus,” writes Miss A. Lee Schuster, of Bor
12, Rodney, Jefferson Co., Miss. “Our family
physician treated me for kidney trouble, and ev
erything else but the right thing. I grew worse
and worse. My body was emaciated, hands and
feet clammy and ced’d, stomach weak, with great
palpitation of the heart, a dreaded for night to
come for I would suffer with nausea all u'ylit and
so I continued until some kind unknown friend
sent me your book with a marked page I began
taking your ’Favorite Prescription,’ contrary to
my family** wishes, and I began to improve right

The Southern Mercury says four
cent cotton and railroad compromises
are making more Populists than all
the other arguments of all the people.
The People’s Party can only die when
the glorious word* Liberty no longer
thrills men’s souls and the human
heart no longer beats responsive in
opposition to tyranny.-Advance Guard.
Why should people be poor when
there is plenty ? And why should they
be idle when there is so much to do ?
It is about time these questions were
being thought out —Denver Facts.
The banks are the only source from
which a panic can be [created. If the
government, ran the banks there would
be no panic, There is never such a
thing as a panic in the postal system of
the country. —Girard World.
When will the people all see and
agree on an increase of the volume of
money ? A little more experience with
5 cent cotton and poor trade will do it
perhaps.—Woodbury Messenger.
Butler is a sore on the Populist eye.
a felon on the Populist finger, a corn
on the Populist toe, a counter balance
to Populist stability, and a you-hurt
me-all-over on the Populist body.—
Cordele Herald.
Nothing but paper money issued by
the general government made a legal
tender for all deb’s public and private.-
will bring prosperity to the people of
this country. More money is now the
demand of the hour.—Girard World.
Most people can reason on almost
any question except, religion and poli
tics Some think that these questions
should not be discussed further than to
admit that every body is honest both
in politics and religion.—Texas Inde
pendent.
Tens of thousands of Amer'ca’s toil
ers will be led to believe that the re
tirement of the greenbacks will be a
blessing. The subsidized press will
soon begin its ‘campaign of education,’
and just watch how the fools will take
up the cry of “dangerous currency,”
‘■nationalhonor,”etc —Advance Guard.
Just as long as this nation holds to
metal money or to a ncetal basis for
money, just so long the people will be
in debt—loaded with bonds and mort
gages, and will be simply slaves to the
money lenclers. Nothing but a gov
ernment issue of full legal tender pa
per money will give us relief, —The
(Mo.) Quill.
Three states have fallen into line
this year with the plan adopted by
the Nashville conference and stand
for straight Populist principles. There’l
be no more sorrows from fusion in
Kentucky, Ohio, or lowa. Other states
that desi-e to work with the Populist
party nationally will fall in line next
year despite t**e pleadings of Bryan or
the bulldozing of Butler & Co. —Girard
World.
Populism can only attract voters
from the ranks of the old parties by a
straight-forward, consistent fight for
princip es A skirmish for office which
is always the motive in a fusion deal
will never inspire toe respect that, is
necessary to build up a reform party.
If Populists will stand firm in their
6ght. reformers of all parties will rally
’o the support of their banner, but a
wavering, cowardly course will never
win respect. —Chicago Record.
Verily we are fast drifting from the
moorings where we were left by our
forefathers, a iree and independent
people, to a money despotism But if
there are those who believe that we
wll go there without oceans of blood
and the destruction of millions of dol
lars worth of property, they are sadly
mistaken, we believe. And to avert
jast such a contingency has caused us
to devote the best years of our life.
Shall our work prove in vain ? We
hope not. —Alliar e? Plowboy.
Are you doing anything, my brother,
in the way of assisting your friends
and neighbors to understand correct
principles of reform ? A true reform
er should never be idle ; should never
give up the fight. He may sometimes
become a little di: couraged when he
sees men who need reform ; who need
a change for the better, who will con
tinue to vote against their own interest
and the interest of their country at
large, but this should not keep you
from doing your duty and all in your
power for the right and for the final
triumph of our principles —Woodbury
Messenger.
Is there a Popu isi. living to-day who
vo ed for Pet* r Cooper in 1876 that
isn’t prrud to say so ? We get thou
sands of letters from the boys (God
bless them), who say we voted with
Peter Cooper and have been with the
movement ever since, and yet there
was just as much reason for saying
that a vote for Peter Cooper was half
a vote for somebody else —as the devil
ish whine that is set up today in favor
of a mongrel old party ticket or candi
dates. In the years to come voters
will look back with pride to the year
1897 and say, “I was cne who vot<d a
straight Populist ticket when fusion,
confusion and general destruction was
run ing rict in an effort to annihilate
the party.” Every true Populist in
Ohio, Kentucky, towa and o'her places
where local elections are being held
will be prrud to say that November
’97, found him in the ranks and doing
his duty.—Cleburne Herald.

A HOME FOR MRS. LEASE.
Ignatius Donnelly Sends Out an Appeal to
All Populists.
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.

“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.

\ /A- opaik” on the causes of dls-
yuk X ease, errors in diet, parasites,

1 and a b UBO of alcoholics, the
bad habits of children, the
prevalence of errors of
youth that undermine vigor of manhood—a chapter
that can’t be read and heeded too eagerly. Thcnthere
are the numerous vices of adults, the tobacco habit
In men. tight-lacing in women, etc., etc., and the all
powerful customs of society whereby many of the
best of both sexes are doomed to “socio 1 atarvn
fion.” This chapter shows why thoughtless young
folks go astray, how prostitution has become preva
.ent. why it will not down, how its baneful diseases
are conveyed to the “innocent” —most startling and
important facts to know.
The results of a mad chase for wealth, of over
work. over-study, failures in business, the fact that
health Is the basis of wealth —not vice versa— iand tlio
causes and effects of horrible inelancholy—theso
are all matters it would be well for you to think over.

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
