At the St. Louis Convention on
tlie 22nd of February the following
declarations were set forth and
adopted by the convention as the
Peoples party platform: We first
declare the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day ac¬
complished, permanent and perpet¬
ual. May its spirit enter into all
hearts for the salvation of the re¬
public and the uplifting of man¬
kind .
2. Wealth belongs to him who
created it. Every dollar taken from
industry without an equivalent- is
robbery. If any will not work,
neither shall he eat. The interest of
rural and urban labor are the same,
their enemies are identical.
3. We demand a national curren¬
cy safe and sound and flexible,issued
by the general government only, a
full legal tender for all debts,public
and private, and without the use
of banking corporations, a just and
equitable means of circulation at a
tax not to exceed 2 per cent., as set
forth in the sub-treasury bill of the
Farmers’ Alliance, or some better
system, also by payments in the dis¬
charge of its obligations for public
improvements.
4. We demand the full and un
limited coinageof silver.
5. We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be in¬
creased to not less than $50 per cap¬
ita.
G. We demand a graduated in¬
come tax.
7. "We believe that the money of
the treasury should be kept as much
as possible in the hands of the peo¬
ple, and hence we demand that all
National and State revenues shall be
limited to the neccessary expenses
of tlie government, economically
administered.
3. We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern¬
ment for the safe deposit of the
earnings of the people and to facili¬
tate exchange.
9. Your sub-committee on the
land plank beg to submit for your
appoval the following.
“The land, including all notionai
sources of wealth, is the heritage of
all the people and should not be
monopolized for speculation, and
that the alien ownership of land be
prohibited; that all land now held
by railroads and other corporations
in excess of their needs and owned
by aliens be reclaimed by the gov¬
ernment and be held for actual set¬
tlers."
10. Transportation being a means
of expense and a public necessity,
the government should own and op¬
erate roads in the interest of the
people.
11. Telegraph and telephone, like
the postal system, being necessary
for the transmission of news, should
be owned and operated by the gov¬
ernment in the interest of the peo-
pie.
12. We demand that the govern¬
ment issue legal tender notes and pay
the Union soldier the difference be¬
tween the price of depreciated mon¬
ey in which he was paid and gold.
Resolved, That we hail this con¬
ference as the consummation of a
perfect union of hearts and hands
of all sections of our common coun¬
try. The men who wore the gray
and the men who wore the blue
meet here to extinguish the last
smouldering embers of civil war in
tears of joy, a united and happy
people, and we agree to carry the
stars and stripes forward forever to
the highest point of national gx*eat-
ness.
This platform was adopted with¬
out a single lessen ting vote. But
whether or not it will meet the ap¬
proval of the people remains yet to
be seen.
