Read Carefully the Address and
rected Platform Below.
Cor
At 9 o'clock a. m. Wednesday the
day's proceedings of the conference
were begun with a fraternal meeting of
tne veterans who naa worn "the blue
and the gray." The old vets came
before the great audience, which had
already assembled in parquet and
balconies, in a very dramatic style and
with fine effect. The blues emerged
irom tne wings on one siae or the stage,
and the grays marched in from tne
other side, and meeting in the centre of
the stage, handshaking was vigorously
indulged in. the old flag being waved
over both groups. The scene wasJT1
greeted with wild applause.
Ben Terrell of Texas was elected to
preside and prayer followed, Rev. Mr.
Washburne of Indiana officiating, his
plea for blessings upon blue and gray
being saluted with loud "amens" from
all parts of the hall. Mr. Terrell then
submitted the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the representatives
of the blue and the gray, believe that
the time has come to bury, in one tomb,
the disunion, malice and sectional hate
resulting from the war, and united
under one flag and citizens of one great
nation we gladly join hands to emanci
pate the homes we cherish from the
tyrannical oppression of the money
power of the land.
A number made happy speeches,
abounding in cordial words about the
tlifferent sections that had beea at war.
Each speech was full of patriotio ex
pressions in regard to a reunited
country and the one flag, the star
spangled banner. Forgetfuloess and
forgiveness of the past was enjoined by
every speaker and each adjured a
strong union at this time, and through
the conference to march onward in the
great cause of reform ahd the reclama
tion of the people from oppression.
Songs followed, and the informal but
successful meeting adjourned for the
regular order of business.
President Polk called the conference
to order at 10 a. m. Routine business
of an unimportant character took up
considerable time.
Hicks of New York submitted a res
olution indorsing the bill of Congress
man Alansur oi Missouri lor tho pro
tection of minors in the Indian Terri
tory. The bill applied the mining laws
oi Missouri to tne xerruory. jar.
Hicks urged the indorsement of the bill
ana was seconuea oy Mr. rowaerly,
who told of the recent disaster at Me
Alister, and said the miners there could
get no protection unless congress ac
corded. He pleaded for them. A bus
pension of the rules followed, and tho
resolution was carried unanimously
The committee on demands was then
announced and Ignatius Donnelly
stepped to the front of the stage, a bnsh
fell on the assembled thousands, and in
a strong resonant voice he read the
..jliuwiug numcas;
ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
"This, the first great labor conference
oi the United states and ot tne world,
representing ail divisions of urban and
rural organized industry, assembled in
national congress, invoking upon its
action the blessing and protection of
Almighty God, puts forth to and for the
producers of tie nation, this declaration
of union and independence.
"The conditions which surround us
be6t justify our co-operation. We meet
in the midst of a nation brought to the
ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot
box. the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench
The people are demoralized. Many of
the states have been compelled to isolate
the voters at the polling places iu order
to prevent universal intimidation or
bribery. The newspapers are subsi
dized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business prostrated, our homes
covered with mortgages, labor impov
erished, and the land concentrating in
the hands of capitalists. Tho urban
workmen are denied the right of organ
ization for self-protection; imported
pauperized labor beats down their
. wages; a hireling standing army un
recognized by our laws, is established
to shoot them down, and they are
rapidly degenerating to European con
ditions. "The fruits of the toil of millions are
boldly stolen to build np colossal for
tunes, unprecedented iu the history . of
the world, while their possessors despise
the republic and endanger liberty.
From the same prolific wonib of govern
mental injustice we breed the two great
classes paupers and millionaires. The
national power to create money Is ap
propriated to enrich bondholders; silver,
which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonet
ized to add to the purchasing power of
gold by decreasing value of all forms of
property as well as human labor, and
the supply of currency is purposely
abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt
enterprise and enslave industry. A vast
conspiracy against mankind has been!
organized on two continents and is
taking possession of the world. If not
wet and overthrown at once it forebodes
terrible social convulsions, the destruc
tion of civilization or the establishment
of an ubsolute despotism.
"In this crUis of human affairs the in
telligent working people and producers
of the United States have come together
in',the name of peace, order and society,
to difend liberty, prosperity, ami
justice.
"We declare our union and independ
ence. We assert our purpose to vote
with that political organization which
'represents our principles.
"Wo charge that tho controlling in
fluences dominating the old pnliiical
parties have allowed the existing dread
ful conditions to develop without seri
ous effort to restrain or prevent them.
Neither do they now intend to accom
plish reform. They have agreed to
jrether to ignore, in lbi coming cam
paign, every iiui but mm They
propose to drown tho outi-ri"K .fa
plundered people vi;h tho upruur of a
sham battle over the tariff; so that cor
porations, national banks, rings, trusts,
"watered stocks," the demonetization
of silver, and the oppressions of usurers,
may all be lost sight of.
"They propose to sacrifices ur homes
and children upon the altar of Mammon,
to destroy the hopes of the multitude in
order to secure corruption funds from
the great lords of plunder.
"We assert that a political organiza
tion, representing the political princi
pies herein stated, is necessary- to re
dress the grievances of which we' com
plain.
"Assembled on the anniversary of the
birth of the illustrious man who led the
first great revolution on this continent
against oppression, filled with eenti
ment which actuated that grand goner
atioD, we seek to restore the govern'
ment of the republic to the hands of
the "plain people" with whom it origin'
ates. Our doors are open to all points
of the compass. W e ask all honest men
to join with and help us.
"In order to restrain the extortions
of . aggregated capital, to- drive the
money changers out of the temple; to
form a serf ect union, establish iustlce.
insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote Use gen
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty lor ourselves and our posterity.
we do ordain and establish the tollowing
PLATFORM OF TBINCIPLKS:
"We declare the union of the labor
forces of the United States, this day ac
complisbed, permanent and perpetual.
May its spirit enter into all hearts for
the salvation of the republic and the
uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs to him who creates
it tvery dollar taken from industry

any will not work neither shall he eat
The interests of rural and urban labor

ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.
"Resolved, That we hail this conference
as the consummation ol perfect union
of hearts and hands of all sections
of our common country. The men who
wore the gray and the men who wore
the blue are here to extinguish the last
smouldering embers of civil war in the
tears of joy of a happy and united peo
ple, and we agree to carry the stars and
stripes forward forever to the highest
point of national greatness."
"Resolved, That the question of uni
versal suffrage be submitted t j the legis
latures of the different states and territo
ries for favorable action."
"Resolved," That tho government
issue legal tender notes to pay the
union soldiers the difference between
the price of the depreciated money n
which he was paid in and gold.
A motion was made to adopt the
platform and addresses as read, but at
this time Fred Swaiue, an expelled
ivnigm oi leaner ot at. Louis endeavored
to introduce r resolution. On beins
questioned by the chairman as to what
society he represented and giving no
satisfactory reply,, the shout ot "put
tim out" was raised, and broad
shouldered iexan. K. S Peters, started
for him. He did his work well, seizing
owayne oy me collar, ne started him
up the aisle and assisted bv Wilson of
Missouri and others, conducted the in
truder to the doorwav, and dumped
him unceremoniously in the outer hall
way. Cheers followed this demonstra
tion and President Polk drily said he
thought the convention was equal to
any emergency.
j. owaeny moved a recess for dinner.
and the motion carried for a recess
until 2 o'clock.
Tne afternoon session was larrelv
taken up in discussing the minority
report of the committee on demands,
made by Miss Francis E. Wil'lard. A
substitute wes offered by Mrs. James
Curtis of Colorado which was finally
agreed to in the form of a separate res
olution, but not a part of the platform.
The question on tho adontion of the
address and platform as it was pro
sentod by tho committee was then
taken up and adopted without a dis
senting voice.
J.P.0 scene following this action
beggars description. For fully ten
minutes the entire audience united in
cheers that shook the vast building.
Men from different states clasped hands
while tears of joy streamed from their
eyes.
When quiet was in a measure restored
a song was called for and Mrs. Ali
Mitchell of Chicago electrified tho dele-!
gates still moro by singing the following
beautiful lines from the pen of Julm
Ward Howe, the audionce uniting in
tho grand chorus: s I

its report was read by Fred Jewell of
Nebraska, secretary of tho committee.
The report is as follows:
Whereas, The present practice of
dealing or gambling in so called
"options and futures, on the various
farm products and necessaries of life is
of national importance, and involves
not only, a moral principle but. an
economic question, being c isastrous and
pernicious to producers and consumers
alike, in comparison to which lottery
gambling sinks into insignificance; and
Whereas, Our respectful memo
rials to congress have so far been en
tirely disregarded, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we most solemnly pro
test against this infamous evil, and de
mand the passage of euch laws as will
effectually eradicate all gambling or
dealing in options and futures.

"For years and years the laboring and
inuusiriai organizations nave been try

united. It reminds me - that Wendell
Phillips said just after the war, 'the bat
tie of war has yet to be fought.' How
true that was. Capital gained by the
war, all that the slaveholder lost, and
the result has wrought injury in every
section of our land, The cry has been
for years, 'Why don't labor unite?' Now
it is united, and in the union there is

SPEECH.
Mi-3. Lease of Kansas spoke in the
Exposition Hall, St. Louis, Saturday
prior to the great conference and after
referring to the loss of GOO.OOO lives in
the war against slaveholders said:
"And jot weemercod from that liloml v

Loder the double enrw nf th nn.nm
and tho landlord monopolies, the

Mrs. Lease commented on the apti
tude of Americans to see the merits
of inventions, and continued: "But in
