heavy increase in tEo burcTen of "taxation
and of all debts, public and private, the
enrichment of the money lending class at
homo and abroad, prostration of industries
and impoverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to monomet
allism, -which has locked fast the pros
perity of an industrious people in the
paralysis of hard times. Gold mono
metallism is a British policy, and its
adoption has brought other na
tions into financial servitude to London.
It is not only unamerican, but antiamer
Ican, and it can be fastened upon the
United States only by tho stifling of
that spirit and love, of liberty, which
proclaimed our political independence
in 1776 and was won in the war of tho
revolution.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation. "We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall bo
full legal tender, equally with gold for all
debts, public and private, and we favor
such legislation as will prevent for
the future tho demonetization of
any kind of legal tender money
by private contract. "We are op
posed to the policy and practice'tof sur
rendering to the holders of the obligations
of the United States tho option reserved
by law to the government of redeeming
6uch obligations in cither silver coin or
gold coin. "We are opposed to the issuing of
intcrc t bcaringbonds of the United States
in times of peace, and condemn tho traf
ficking with banking syndicates, which in
exchanging for bonds and at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the federal
treasury with gold to maintain the policy
of the gold monometallism. Congress
alone has the power to coin and issue money
and President Jackson declared that this
power could not be delegated to corpora
tions or individuals. We therefore de
mand that the power to issue notes to
circulate as money be taken from tho
banks and that all paper money shall bo
issued directly by the treasury department,
lie redeemable in coin and receivable for
all debts, public and private.
We hold that tariff duties should be
levied for purposes of revenue, such duties
to be readjusted as to operate equally
throughout tho country and not dis
criminate between class or section and
taxations should bo limited by tho
needs of government honestly and
economically administered. "We denouncu
as disturbing to business the Republican
threat to restore tho McKinley law, which
has been twico condemned by the people
in national elections, and which, enacted
under the false plea of protection to home
industry, proved a prolific breeder of
trusts and monopolies, enriched the few
at the expense of the many, restricted
trade and deprived the producers of the
greav American staples of access to their
natural markets. Until tho money ques
tion is settled, we arc opposed to any agi
tation for further changes in our tariff
laws except such as are necessary to malic
up the deficit in revenue caused by
the adverse decision of the supreme court
on the income tax. But for this decis
sion of tho supreme court there would be
no deficit in tho revenue under the la v
passed by a Democratic congress in strict
pursuance of the uniform decisions of
that court for nearly 100 years,
that court having under that deci
sion sustained constitutional objections to
its enactment which has been overruled
by the ablest judges who have ever sat on
that bench. We declare that it is the
duty of congress to use all the constitu
tional power which remains after that de
cision, or which may come from its re
ver?nl by tho court as it may hereafter be
constituted, so that the burdens of taxa
tion may equally and impartially lead to
tho end that wealth may boar Its due pro
portion of tho expenses of the government.
"Wc hold that the most efficient way of
protec: ing American labor is to prevent the
importation of foreign pauper labor to com
pete with it in the home market and that
thevaluo of the home market to our Ameri
can farmers and artisans is greatly re
duced by a vicious monetary sy.s; em whicb
depresses the prices of l heir products be
low the cost of p:oduction and thus de
prives them of the means of purchasing
the pioducts of our home manufactories.
The absorption of wealth by the few,
the consolidation of our leading railway
systems and the formation of trusts aud
pools require a stricter control by the fed
pral government of those arteries of com
merce. We demand the enlargement of
tho powers of tho interstate commerce
commission and such restrictions and
guarantees in tho control of railroads sis
will protect the people from robbery and
oppression.
We denounce the profligate waste of tho
money wrung from the people by oppres
sive taxation and the lavish appropria
tions of recent Republican congresses,
which have kept taxes high while the la
bor that pays them is unemployed and tho
products of the people's toil are depressed
in price till they no longer repay the cost of
production. We demand a return to that
simplicity and economy which befits
a Democratic government, and a reduction
in the number of useless offices, the sal
aries of which drain the substance of the
ppople.
Wp denounce arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local affairs as a
viola'-ion of the constitution of the Unit
ed States and a crime against free in-ti;u-tions,
and wo especially "object to govern
ihentby injunction as a new aud highly
dangerous form of oppression by which
federal judges in contempt of the laws of
the state and rights of citizens become
at once legislators, judges and execution
ers, and we approvo the bill passed at the
last session of the senate of the United
States, and now pending in the house, re
lating to contempts in federal courts and
providing for trials by juries in certain
cases of contempt.
No discrimination 6hould be indulged
in by the government of the United
States in favor of any of its debtors. "Wo
approve of the lefusal of the Fifty-third
congress to pass the Pacific railroad
funding bill, and denouncer the effort of
tho present congress to enact a similar
measure.
Recognizing the just claims of deserv
ing Union soldiers, wc heartily indorso
the rule of the present com
missioner of pensions that no
names shall be arbitrarily dropped frpra
the pension rpll, and the fact of enlistr
pient and servica should be dcomcfl con
olusive evidence against disease and diss
ability before enlistment.
Wo favor the admission of tho terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona into
the Union as states and we favor the e.v ly
admission of all tho territories h: ving tho
necessary population and resources to en
title them to statehood, and while they re
main territories wo hold that tho officials
appointed to administer tho government
of any territory, together with tho Dis
trict of Columbia and Alaska, should bo
bona fide residents of the territory or dis
trict in which their dutios are to be per
formed. The Democratic party bslioves
in home rule and that public lands of the
United States should bo appropriated to
the establishment of free homes for Amer
ican citizens. "We recommend that tho
territory of Alaska be granted a delegate
in congress and that tho general land and
timber laws of the United States be ex
tended to said territory.
"Wo extend our sympathy to the people
of Guba in their heroic struggle lor lib
erty and independence.
"Wo are opposed to life tenuro in the pub
lic service. Wc favor appoint mcnts based
upon merits, fixed terms of office and such
an administration of the civil service laws
as will afford equal opportunities to all
citizens of ascertained fitness.
Wc declare it to be the unwritten law of
this republic establi-hed by custom and
usage of 100 years and sanctioned by
the examples of the greatest and wisest of
those who founded and have maintained
our government, that no man shall be
eligible for a third term of the presiden
tial office.
The federal government should care tor
and improve the Mississippi river and
qther great waterways of the republic so
as to secure for the interior states easy and
cheap transportation to tide water. When
any waterway of the lepublic is of suffi
cient importance to demand aid of tho
government, such aid should be cxtonded
- upon a definite plan of continuous work
until permanent improvement is secured.
Confident in tho justice of our cause
and the necessity of i.s success at
tho polls, we submit the foregoing declar
ation of principles and purposes to the
jonsiderate judgment of the American
people. "We invito the support of all citi
sens who approvo them and who dosire x
aavo them mado effective through legis
lation for the benefit of the peopleand tho
restoration of the country's prosperity, j
THE C. E. CONATION
INTERESTING PROGRAM OF EXER
CISES PREPARED.
Arrangements Completed at AVashiugton
for tho largest Sleeting of the Order
Ever Held Bicyclists Provided for Es
pecially Great Chorus the Feature.
"Washington', July 6. Between 40,
000 and 50,000 visitors to the capital
city are expected during the next 10
days to attend the sessions of the na
tional Christian Endeavor convention,
which begins on Wednesday and con
tinues through tho 13th. A vast
amount of work preparing the program
for the convention and for the enter
tainment of the Endeavorers has been
done by the local committee. From tho
enthusiasm which has been apparent
all over the country, it seems to be as
sured that the 'gathering will be tho
greatest of its land ever held. A com
bined seating capacity of 40,000 will be
available at any time during the con
vention and the meeting places will be
more numerous than heretofore. Three
great tents pitched on the white lot, a
government reservation just south of
the president's mansion, a large hall
and a number of churches will consti
tute the principal auditoriums and at
certain times meetings will bo held
simultaneously in all. Aside from the
interior decorations of the tents and
churches, the citizens of "Washington
have joined in making the city at
tractive by liberal decorations of their
homes and places of business. The
government authorities have lent their
assistance in decorating the public
parks with appropriate foilage devices.
Tho prominent feature of this year's
convention will be tho great chorus of
about 4,000 voices," which has been in
training a long time for the gathering.
The program committee has had in
mind the bicyclists who attended the
convention and for them a number of
runs to interesting points in the vicinity
have been arranged. The program for
the meetings of the convention is about
completed. In general, it contemplates
early morning prayer meetings in the
churches of the various denominations
represented from 0:30 until 7 :15. From
9:30 o'clock until well in towards noon
are to be held the meetings for ad
dresses, reports, praise and the dis
cussion of the various topics in the large
tents and some of the large halls and
churches. In the afternoons, scattered
throughout the convention days, there
will be denominational rallies in the sev
eral churches, officers and committee
conferences, denominational missionary
rallies and informal receptions to all
officers. The evening sessions are to be
similar in many respects to those held
during tho morning.
WILL ADOPT AMERICAN RULES.
Grand Trank Hallway to Change From
English 1 Jules.
Toronto, July 4. It is stated on the
authority of prominent officials in the
service of the Grand Trunk railway
that General Manager Hayes proposes
to introduce American rules through
out the Grand Truuk system in Canada.
Old officials will bs compelled to learn
the new rules and failure to pass a writ
ten examination on them will mean dis
missal. Hitherto tho Grand Trunk has been
subject to English rules, and Mr. Hays'
inauguration of wha1- he terms "stand
ard rules" will affect about 10,000 em
ployes. Mr. Haj-s has dismissed em
ployes, replacing them with Americans,
and this proposed change, some assert,
will be a good excuse for importing
more emploj-es from the United States.
There is talk that, to meet the emer
gency, the federal authorities will be
urged to enact an alien law similar to
that in the United States.
Baldwin Is Lucky Again.
Sax Francisco, July 3. Miss Lillian.
Ashley of Boston, whose cso against E.
J. (Lucky) Baldwin, the prominent
capitalist and horseman, for seduction
under promise of marriage, has been on
trial in the superior court here for sev
eral weeks, created a sensation in the
courtroom yesterday by walking over to
Baldwin, drawing a revolver and firing
at his head. A bystander knocked the
weapon aside in time to save Baldwin's
life, and the only injury was a slight
grazing of the scalp. The woman was
removed to the city prison, and it is be
lieved her mind is unbalanced.
Three Vessels Lost.
San Francisco, July 4. Mail advices
received by steamer report the loss of
three vessels on the Australian coast
during the gales which raged through
out the night of May 23. The ill-fated
ships were the Byron, bound from lfeV;
castle for Sydney; the barkentiue Ka;
roola, from New Zealand to Sydney,
and the schooner Condang. Three of
the crew of the Karoola were drowned,
but no other lives were lost in tho dis
asters. Burt nntl Bidwell i'romotfd.

circulars were issned by the Omaha rail
way, appointing H. C. Burt general
manager of the line in place of E. W.
Winter; George F. Bidwell, general
manager of tho Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Yalley railroad, in place of H.

pointed general manager of the Sioux
and Pacific Railway company.
reralta-Iteavis round Guilty.
Santa Fe, N. M., July 3. The jury
in the case against James Addison Per
alta Reavis, charged with attempting
to defraud the government with an al
leged Spanish grant, covering 12,000,000
acres of land in Arizona, returned a

Gcner.il Lawton. Dead.
CLiFfON Springs, N". Y., July 3.
General A. R. Lawton of Savannah,
died at the Clifton Springs sanitarium.
Cnrrlo Will Not YieloU
Lincoln, July 8. Sculptor John Ctu
rie had another interview with Gov
ernor Holcomb in which the condition
of the Tennessee marble presented to
Nebraska for a statue of Abraham Lin
coln was discussed. Governor Holcomb
wanted Currie to turn over to the state
the bill of lading for the marble, which
happens to be in Carrie's name. This
he refused to do. There was an effort
made to compromise the matter by
letting Currie cut the pedestal and se
cure some competent sculptor to carve
the statue. Currie says no to this proposition.
MANY NEW PENSION POINTS.
Importaat Decisions Rendered by Assis
tant Secretary Iteynolds.
Washington, July 4. Many new
points in the adjudication of pension
claims are established in decisions ren
dered by Assistant Secretary Reynolds
of the interior department. All the
cases caine.upon appeal from the pension
bureau. Following is a summary of
new rulings: The widow of an addi
tional paymaster is pensionable under
section 3, act of July 27, 1800.
Where shown that a soldier was
sound at enlistment and died in regi
mental hospital of disease, the exact na
ture of Jthe disease not being shown, the
testimony being conflicting, it will be
presumed in the absence of evidence to
the contrary that he died of. disease con
tracted in the service and in the line of
duty.
Dea'h resulting from the morphine
habit, though contracted by using the
drug to rclieye pain caused by a malady
contracted in tho service and in the line
of duty on soldier's own responsibilty,
cannot be accepted as due to service in
the line of duty.
Where a pension is granted to a wid
ow on account of a minor child of her
deceased husband has been terminated
because the child had attained its 16th
year aud the child has been continuous
ly since its 16th year insane, idiotic, or
otherwise permanently helpless, pension
may be allowed subject to the right as
minors or other children of the deceased
father, to participate with it in such
pension during their minority after the
termination of the widow's right to a
pension from the date of filing applica
tion therefor subsequent to June 27,
1890, upon proof of-its trouble.
Provision is made to prevent loss of
pension by mistakes in applications. It
is held, under the famous "Juno 27"
act, that the pension must commence
from the date of the filing of the origi
nal application, provided pensionable
disability is proved. In the case of C.
B. Guches, a Michigan veteran, Judge
Reynolds says in sustaining the right of
a pensioner under the June 27 act, to re
ceive a pension under the general law,
the former providing sufficient guard
against double payment:
"Whenever the act of June 27, 1890,
is employed it must be to the soldier's
benefit. Aud since that benefit is liable
to suffer defeat through the use of sec
tion 4715, revised statutes, to compel an
election by the pensioner, such section,
being plainly repugnant to the act de
signed to convey benefit to the pen
sioner, cannot be employed."
St. John Forced to Resign.
New York, July 4. William P. St.
John, president of the Mercantile Na
tional bank, has resigned his position,
Mr. St. John has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the free
coinage of silver, aud in this has
been at variance with the
directors of the bank. The feeling in
banking circles against the advocacy of
free silver by a bank president has re
sulted in making Mr. St. John's rela
tions with his business colleagues very
unpleasau"
League Magnates Enjoined.
Cleveland, July 9. Late yesterday
afternoon President Robinson, of the
Cleveland baseball club, secured an in
junction restraining the National
League from collecting the fines against
Captain Tebeau or any member of the
Cleveland club, which were imposed at
Louisville.
