OCR NATIONAL PLATFORM.
The People's Party Platform Adopted
at Omaha July 4, 1892.
Assembled upon the 116th anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence, the
People's party of America, In their first
national convention, Invoking upon
their action the blessings of Almighty
God, puts forth In the name and on be
half of the people of this country tht
following preamble and declaration of
principles:
PREAMBLE.
The csnditions which surround us
best justify our co-operation. We meat
la the midst of nation breught to the
verge of moral, political and material
mln. Corruption dominates the ballot
box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench.
The people are demoralized; most of
the states have been compelled to iso
late the voters at the polling places to
pre ventunlverial Intimidation or bri
bery. The newspapers are largely sub
sidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced; business prostrated; our homes
covered with mortgages; labor Impover
ished and the land concentrating in the
hands of capitalists. The urban work,
men are denied the right of organiza
tion for self protection; imported pau
perized labor beats down their wages, a
hireling standing army, unrecognized
by our laws, is established to shoot
them down; and they are rapidly de
generating into European conditions.
Tba fruits of the toil of millions ere
boldly stolen to build up colossal for
tunes for a few, unprecedented In the
hostory of mankind; and the possessors
of these, la turn, despise the republic
and endanger liberty. From the earns
prolific womb of governmental injustice
we breed the two great classes tramps
and millionaires. The national power
to create money is appropriated to en
rich bondholders. A vast public debt,
payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold-bearing bonds,
thereby addia? millions to the burdens
of the people.
Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing
power of gold by dccressLg the value
of all forms of property as woil as hu
man labor, and the supply of currency
is purposely abridged to fatten usurers,
bankrupt enterprise and enslave indus
tries. A vast conspiracy against man
kind has been organized on two conti
nents and it is rapidly taking possession
of the world. If not met and over
thrown at once, it forebodes terrible
social convulsions, the destruction of
civilization or the establishment of an
absolute despotism.
We have witnessed for more than
quarter of a century the struggles
of the two great political parties
tor power and plunder, while griev
ous wrongs bave been inflicted
upon a suffering people. We charge
that the controlling influences dominat
ing both tbeie parties have permitted
the existing dreadful conditions to de
velop, without serious efforts to prevent
er restrain them. Neither do they now
promise us any substantial reform,
r- ' ...
jhey hBTe ga-feed together to ignore,
in the comisr campaign, every Issue
but one. They propose to drown the
outcries of a plundered people with the
uproar of a sham battle over the tariff,
so that capitalists, corporations, nation
al banks, rings, trust, watered stock,
the demonetization of silver and the
sppresslons of the usurers may all be
lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes, lives and children on the
altar of mammon; to destroy the multi
tude in order to secure corruption funds
from the millionaires.
Assembled so the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation and filled with
the spirit of the grand generation
which established our independence,
we seek to restore tbe government of
the republlo to the hands of "the plain
people," with whom it originated.
a We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national con
stitution: "To form a more perfect
union, establish Justico, Insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general welfare,
and ae:ure the blessings of liberty V
ourselves and our posterity,"
We declare that this republic can only
sndure as a free government while built
upon the lovs of the whole people for
each other and for th nation; that it
cannot be pinned together by bayonets;
that the civil war la over and that
every passion and resentment which
grew el It must die with it, and
that ws must be ia fact ss we are in
same, the ualted brotherhood of free
msa.
Our country finds Itself con fronted by
eoadltions for which there Is no prece
dent In the history of the world; our
mbu1 agricultural prod action i araouat
te billions ef dollars In value, which
Kust within a few wetsa or months be
exchanged (or bllllooi ef dollars of com
saodltiM oonsumed la their production;
Us ssletlof eurrsaey supply 1 wholly
Ued squat to snake this eishaae; the
results are fslltag erioes, the formation

service) as rapidly and as far as the '
good sense of an intelligent people and j
the teachings of experience shall justify,
to the end that oppression, injus
tice and poverty shall eventually
cease In the land.
While our sj mpathies as a party of
reform are nr.turally upon the side of
every proposition which will tend to
make men Intelligent, virtuous and
temperate, we neveitheless regard
these questions, important as they are,
as secondary to tne great issues now
pressing for solution, and opoa which
not only our individual prosperity, but
the vei7 existence of free Institutions
depend; and we ask all men to first
help us to determine whether we are to
have a republlo to administer, before
we differ as to the conditions upon
which It Is to be administered. Bellev
lng 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 men and
women of the country, therefore:
WE DECLARE
irst That the union of the labor
forces of the United States, this dsy
consummated, shall be permanent and
perpetual. May its spirit enter Into all
hearts for the salvation of the republlo
and the uplifting of mankind.
Second Wealth belongs to him who
creates it, and every dollar taken from
industry without an equivalent ia rob
bery. "If any will not work, neither
shall he eat." The Interests of rural
and civic labor are the same; their cno
niics identical. 1
Third We believe that the time has
come when the railroad corporations
will either own the people or the people
must, own the railroads, and should the
government enter upon the work of
owning and managing any or all rail
roads, we should favor an amendment
to tbe constitution by which all persons
engaged la the government service
shall be placed under a civil service
regulation of the most rigid character;
so as to prevent the increase of the
power of tho national administration by
tho use of such additional government,
employees.
PLATFORM.
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the gene
ral government only, a full logal tender
for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use of
banking corporations; that a just, equit
able and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people, at a tax not to ex
ceed two per cent, per annum, to be
provided, as set forth in tbe subtreasury
plan ol the Farmers' Alliance, or some
better system; also by payments in dis
charge of its obligations for publlo im
provements. We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
We demand that the amount of circu
lating medium be speedily increased to
not less than 150 per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that tbe moneys of the
country should be kept as much as pos
slble in th j hands of the peoplo, and
hence we demand that all state and
national revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment, economically and honestly ad
ministered.
We demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government, for
tbe safe deposit of tho earnings of the
people, and to facilitate exchange.
Transportation being s means of ex
change and a publio necessity, the gov
ernment Ehould own and operate the
railroads In the interest of the people
The telegraph and telephone, like
the postofllce system being a necessity
for transmission of news, should be
owned and operated by the government
In the Interest of tho peoplo.
The land, Including all the natural
resources of wealth, is the heritage of
all the people, and should not be mono-
pollztdfor speculative purposes, and
alien ownership of land should be pro
hibited. All land now held by rail
roads and other corporations In excess
of their actual need, and all lands now
owned by aliens, should be reclaimed
by the government and bold for actual
settlers only,
