By Thomas E. HilL This is a large octavo book of 450 pages, condensed by tabulation into a small book that it may be universally sold and circulated at a low price. Its purpose is to clearly present, in a manner entirely non-partisan, the merit attaching to each party.- Ne partiality is shown in behalf of any political organization. Like the dictionary, it simply defines. It gives the best-known argument in favor of each, and leaves the reader free to choose which he will serve. It treats upon the important live issues of the time, and is an indis pensable work to people who would intelligently discuss the political situation. It is a very exhaustive compendium of Political Facts, and literally answers thousands of questions. To illustrate: What are Democratic principles! What does a single tax advocate propose' If all tax was placed on land, what would be the tax on the farm! What would be the tax on suburban prop erty, and how much on the acre worth two million dollars In the center of the city! What does a Republican believe! Why be a Republican and favor high pro tective tariff! What are the arguments for and against protection! What do the Socialists want! What would be the conditions If Socialistic i principles prevailed! What do the Populists desire! If government owned and operated the banks, and banks never failed, and people never hid their money and all money came out and into active circulation, and money was so abundant that Interest became low, and all enterprise started up and everybody had employment, what then! What do the Nationalists want! Why nationalize the railroads, the coal mines and various industries! What do the eight-hour advocates pro pose! If working certain hours yields cer tain profit, how could working less hours yield more profit! How could women be benefited by voting! What started the financial panic of 1893! Who commenced the tirade against silver, that resulted in the repeal of the 8herman law! Who started the stampede on the banks in 1893, by which 714 of them failed in eight months, and tour hundred million dollars PRICES.

Adopt-d by the Convention at Oiuv aha Nebraska, July 4. 1802 Assembled upon the one hundred and sixteenth anniversary ol the Declaration of Independence, the People's l'urty of America, in their first national conven tion, invoking upon their action the blesHings of Almighty God. puts forth in the name, and 011 tiehalf of the jieople of the 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 verve 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: niOKt of the states have been compelled to isolate the voters at the polling places to prevent universal intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated; our homes covered with mortgages; labor impover ished; and the land concentrating in the hands of the capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organi zation for self-protection; imported pau perized lubor beats down their wages; a hireling army, unrecoguized by our law, is established to shoot them down; and they are rapidly degenerating into Euro pean conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build op colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind, and the pos sessors of these in turn despise the re-, public aud endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental in justice we breed the two great classes tramps and millionaires. The national power to create .money is appropriated to enrich bondholders; a vast public debt, payable in legal tender currency, hus been funded into gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. Silver, which has been accepted as coin since the dawu of history, has been de monetized to add to the purchasing pow er of gold, by decreasing the value ot all forms of property, as well as human la bor, and the supply of currency is pur posely abridged to fatten usurers, bank rupt enterprise, and enslave industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind has been organized on two continents, and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convul sions, the destruction ot civilization, or the establishment of an absolute despot ism. We have witnessed for more than a quarter of a century the struggles of the 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 hava. per mitted the existing 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 cam paign, every issue but one. They pro pose to drown the outcries of a plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff; so that capitalists, corpo rations, national banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, the demonetization of sil ver, and the oppressions of the usurers may all be lost sight of. They propone to sacrifice our homes, lives aud uUiliiiuu on the altar of Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption funds from the millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday of the nation, and-filled with the spirit of the grand generation of men, who estab lished 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 purpose of the national constitution: "to form a more perfect union, establish juntice, in sure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessingsof liberty ourselves and our posterity." We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the love of the 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 grew out of it must die with it; and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brother hood. Our country finds itself confront ed by conditions for which there is no precedent in the history t) the world. Our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of doners in value, which must within a few weeks or months be exchanged for billions of dollars of commodities consumed in their produc tion; the existing currency supply is wholly inadequate to make thisexebange. The results are falling prices, the forma tion of combines and rings, and the im poverishment 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 believe that the powers of govern mentin other words, of the people should be expanded (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 oppression, in justice and poverty shall eventually cease in the land. , While our sympathies as a party of re form are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions im portant as they are as secondary to the great issues now pressing for solution; and upon which not only our individual proserity, but the very existence of free institutions depends; and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to administer, be- which it is to be administered; believing that the forces ot reform this day organ ized will never cease to move forward un til every wrong is righted and equal pri vileges established for all the men and women of this country. We declare, therefore, UNION Or THE PEOPLE. First, That the union of the labor forces of the United States this day con summated, shall be permanent and per petual; may its spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Second, Wealth belongs to him who creates it; and every dollar taken from industry, without an quivalenr, is rob bery. "If any man will not work neither shall be eat" The interests of rural and civic labor are the same; their enemies are identical. Third. We believe that the time has coins when the railroad corporations will either own the people' or the peopls must own the railroads; and nhouid tha government enter upon the work of own ing and managing the railroads, w should favor an amend ment to the con stitution by which all person s engaged in the jroverument service shall be pro tected by civil service regulations ol the most rigid character, so as to prevent the increase of the power of the national administration by the ue of such addi tional gonernmeut employes. FINANCE. We damand a uational currency, safe, sound and flexible; issued by the general government only; a full legal tender for all debts public and nrivate; and . that witnout tne use 01 Danmngeorporations; a just equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people, at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided as set forth in the sub-treat-ury plan of the Farmers' Alliance, or some better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for public improvements: We demand free and nnlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ration of 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of cir culating medium be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. 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 na tional revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings banks beestablished by the government for the safe deoosit of the earnings of the people and the facilitation of exchange. TRANSPORTATION. Transportation being a means of ex change and a public necessity; the gov ernment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. The telegraph and telephone, like the postoffice system, being a necessity, for the transinissionof news, should be owned and operated by the government in the interests of the people. LANDS. The land, including all natural re sources of wealth, is the heritage of the people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes; and alien owner ship 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 gov ernment and held for actual settlers only. RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were offered independent of the platform, and were adopted, as expressive of tbe sentiments of the convention: Resolved, That wedemandafree ballot and a fair count in all elections, and pledge ourselves to secure to it every legal voter without federal intervention, through the adoption by the states of the unperverted Australian secret ballot system. Resolved, That threvenuederivedfrom a graduated income tax should be appli ed to the reduction of theburden of taxa tion now levied upon the domestic in dustries of this couutry. Resolved, That we pledge our snpport to fair and liberal pensions .0 ex-Union soldiers and sailors. Resolved, Tha.v.c 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 denounce tbe present ineffective law against contract labor, and demand the further restriction of undesirable immigration. Resolved, That we cordially sympa thize with the efforts of organized work iugmen to shorter the hours of labor and demand a rigid enforcement of the exist ing eight-hour law on government work, and ask that a penalty clause be added to said law. Resolved, That we regard the main tenance of a large standing army of mercenaries, known as the Pinkerton system, as a menace to our liberties, and we demand itsabolition,and wecondemn the recent invasion of the Territory of Wyoming by the hired assassins of Plutocracy, assisted by Federal officers. Resolved, That we commend to the thoughtful consideration of the people and the reform press, the legislative sys tem known as the Initiative and Referen dum. Resolved, That we favor a constitu tional provision limiting the office of a president and vice president to one term, and providing for the election of the senators by a direct vote of the people. Resolved, That we oppose any subsidy or national aid to any private corpora tion for any purpose. H. E. Taubeneck, Chairman, Marshall , Illinois. J. H. Turner, Secretary. Georgia.

The Isle of Man is only thirty-three miles long; and twelve wido, so that it is not rrreat labor to rrt over it. nuvs ! r,-,- - j a correspondent of the Uichuipnd Dis patch, and. as two railroads run one North to South and the other Kast to West you can see how convenient it Is to the visitor. Douglas, Tort Krin, Peel and Ramsey are the chief towns. The Isle of Man, while belonging to the British crown, is neither English, Scotch, Irish nor Welsth, but is a separate country, with a home-rule government and a language of its own, but yet with great loyalty to the imperial government and devotion to the sovereign, for everywhere you go you see pictures of the royal family. The government is known as the house of keys1' and consists of twenty-four members, elected every seven years; but no person has a vote unless he possesses real estate of the value of 40, or occupation of the value of 60 per year, and women are also entitled to vote. The court of Tynwald, presided over by the lieutenant governor, Is composed of the council, which embraces the bishop, attorney general, two judges, the clerk of the rolls, water bailiff and the vicar general. This council and the house of keys are the active government of the groat Isle of Man. There is one feature of special inter est in reference to the laws, and that Is that all laws passed by the house ot keys are sent for the royal assent, and when that has been secured then the law must be formally read in the English and Manx languages on Tynwald hill in the open air, where the council and the keys united form a Tynwald court, before they become laws. This form of reading the law at Tynwald is the oldest style on record; was old in 1417 and has been continued ever since. The 5th day of July in each year is the day of publio proclamation of the laws panged by the house of kevs. The coat of arms of this isle is three legs of a man in a circle. The motto, translated, , reads: "Whithersoever thrown, I shall stand. The Manxmen apparently rather enjoy the throe legged crest, for everywhere you turn your face, whether at a steamboat, a railroad, a coach, a nag or on .the win dows of the stores, there you see the three legs. 1 had read of the Manx cats without tails and thought it a joke; but, sure enough, the cats here are without tails and I saw several without that grace ful member, home ladles of our party who had not seen the Manx cat were rather doubtful of the truth of our report and we had to accom pany them to the house whore the cat lived, and after a close examination came away believers in the tailless cat, I don't think pussy is improved by the absence of the tail. Some peo ple say this strange act of nature ex tends to the dogs also. The Manx language, like the ancient language of Ireland, is fast passing away, and in a generation it will be one of the dead languages, en joyed only by scholars. I met an old woman on the side of a mountain sell ing milk, cakes and ginger ale, and after asking some questions about the locality I learned from her that the children were not learning the Manx language, and that only the middle aged and old people spoke it. She said her children only spoke the Eng lish. I was anxious to get a book in Manx, but could not find one in the stores. The old woman referred to showed me an old bible in Manx, which I tried to buy, but she said no money could buy her bible. It had belonged to her father. All Danger Forcneen. It was at the dinner party given by the contractor's wife. "And I see you are not eating any grapes, Mrs. Newrich. They are so nice, too. Don't you care for them?"

"You don't mean to say you gave living pictures at the church fair?" "O yes. We advertised them well, too, and the house was crowded." What pictures did you give?" "O, just a lot of flower pieces. With liv ing flowerB, you know." A widower at Rondout, N. Y., aged 60 years, was married a day or two ago to a woman of 2Z. As a romantic incident of thl a wedding, it stated that the bride was first introduced to the groom by the latter's son, who at the time was in love with her. Corean women carry the children on their backs like the Japanese, and their system is a simple one. The child rests on a strap of cloth, the ends of which go over the mother's shoulder and cross her breast; the child's legs cling around her waist. "Now tell me what the trouble is," said a mother to her little girl whom she had been obliged to take out of church because of a violent fit of weeping. "He called me," said the child between her sobs, "a simple little cross-eyed thing.".- The child was cross-eyed, and the minister had just given out the hymn: "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling." There was a curious spectacle at a school election in Westchester county. N. Y., when a score of Italian women, most of them with a babe in one arm and a ticket in the unoccupied hand, marched to the polls and voted. An incident of the same election was the successful challenging of a minister's wife on the ground that ahe was childless and paid no rent She and her husband occupy a parsonage pro vided by the congregation. DOM'TS OF DRESS. Don't hold up silks and display rags. Don't wear a sailor hat with a silk dress. Don't use pins where stitches would do. . Don't wear striped material if you are tail Don't wear tan shoes if you have big feet - T . ' Don't wear a white petticoat unless it is white. Don't d ress mure fashionably than becomingly. Don't imagine that beauty will atone for untidiness. Don't buy common boots they are not economical Don't trim good material with com mon trimmings. v Don't wear big sleeves and big hata if you are short, lon't expect great bargains to turn out' great savings. Don't jump into your clothes and expect to look dressed. uon tn ress your neaa at tne expense of your hands and feet Don't wear feathers in your hat and patches on your boots. Don't achieve the grotesque while attempting the original. Don't pinch your waist Fat like murder, will out somewhere. Don't forget that dress was made for woman, not woman for dress. Don't put powder on your cheeks without looking in the glass after ward. , Don't forget that although veils are becoming to most faces, feet veiled in lace stockings do not look well in the street. Don't emulate the ostrich; the new flower in your hat does not divert at tention from the ragged 'condition of your skirt lining. . WOMEN VOTERS. In Norway women have school suf frage. In Finland women vote for all elective officers. In Sweden women vote for all elec tive officers except representatives. In . Delaware suffrage is exercised by women in several municipalities. Women have municipal suffrage in Cape Colony, which rules 1,000,000 square miles. Municipal woman suffrage rules in few Zealand, and at parliamentary elections also? ''' i,,y , , In the United States twenty-eight states and territories have given women some form of suffrage. Petitions are being circulated in South Australia asking that women be given the suffrage of both houses of parliament , Iceland, in the North Atlantic, the Isle of Man (between ftngiana ana Ireland), and P.tcairn island, in the South Pacific have full woman suf frage. In the Dominion of Canada women have municipal suffrage in ever province and also in the Northwest territories. In Ontario they vote for all executive officers except in the elec tion of members of the legislature and parliament
