MARCH 1, 1894 THE ALLIANCE -IN DEPENDENT. 1 4 t "The People' Pari j Platform Adopted , at Omaha July 4. 1MU2. Assembled upon the liorh anniversary oT the Declaration of Independence, the People, party of America, la their first national convention, invoking upon their action the blessings of Almighty Jcd, puts forth in the name and on be' half of the people of this country the followicg preamble and declaration of principles: preamble:. The conditions which surround us best justify our co-operation. We meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material rnin. Corruption dominates the ballot box, the legislatures, the congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench The people aro demoralized; most of the states have been compelled to Iso late the voters at the polling places to pre ventunlversal 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 organlza tlon 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. The fruits of the toll of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal for tunes for a few, unprecedented in the hostory of mankind; and the possessors of these, ia turn, despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same 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 adding 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 decreasiug the value of all forms of property as well 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 for power and plunder, while griev ous wrongs have been ioflleted upon a suffering people. We charge that the controlling influences dominat ing both these parties have permitted the existing dreadful conditions to de velop, without serious efforts to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise us any substantial reform. They have agreed together to Ignore, in the coming 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, trusts, watered stock, the demonetization of silver and the oppressions 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 multl-1 tude in order to secure corruption funds from the millionaires. Assembled en the anniversary of the birthday of the nation and filled with the cpirit of the grand generation which established our independence, we seek to restore the government of the republio to the bands of "the plain people," with whom it originated. j We assert our purposes to be identical with the purposes of the national con stitution: "To form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure dorres- tic tranqu llty, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and toiu-o tho bleiIs2s of liberty to ounelv ea and our posterity." We declare that this republic can only endure a a free government while built upon the love of the whole people far each other and for the nation; that it cannot be pinned together by bayonet; that the civil war is over and that iivery !oa and revntroent whloh grew out ot It mu.t die with it, aad that wo tnut b la fact a we are la name, the united brotherhood of free men. Our country finJ iuit confronted by conditions far whlta thoto l no irw dentin tbe blUry t! the world; our aaou.l agricultural production amouat to hlllioe of dollar U value, which. mul wlthla a few week or mualu be 'ichd fur bUikoaiof dul tar of own (uodUica cvau4 ia their prod actios; tbe vaUita eumcrj supply it wholly U adequate 1 1 thl seaaage; the renutu ar UUliuf ft lev, t"e fu'malloa of vomhitc and flag and lh H tierUttMfil tf tbe prodt g '.

We blte that la MiaM vf er meat -la elair werdt, U ptiteHot:4 be HJt4 (M U U e ol the wial service) as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people and the teachings of experience eball justify, to the end that oppression, injas tice and poverty th&ll iventually cease in the land. While our bj mpathies as a party of reform are neturally upon the side of evtry proportion which will tend make moa intelligent, virtuous aad temperate, we neveitheless regard these questions, important as they are. as seconaary io me great issues now pressing for solution, and upon which not only our individual prosperity, but the very existence cf free Institutions depend; and we ask all men to .first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to administer, before we differ as to the conditions upon which it is to be administered. Belle v Ing 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 DECLAHE t lrst That the union of the labor forces of the United States, this day consummated, shall be permanent and perpetual. May its splritenter 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 equivalent is rob bery. "If any will not work, neither shall he eat." The Interests of rural aDd civic labor are the same; their ene mies identical Third We believe that the time has come when the railroad corporations will either own the people or the people musv 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 the constitution by which all persons engaged in 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 the national administration by the use of such additional government employees. PLATFORM. We demand a national currenoy, safe, sound and flexible, issued by the gene ral government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, ana mat without the use o' 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, ag set forth in tbe subtreasury plan ol the rarmers' Alliance, or some better system; also by pay men's in dis charge of its obligations for public im provements. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1. We demand that the amount of clrcu' latlng medium be spetdlly increased to not less than 150 per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the moneys 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 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 the safe deposit of the earnings of the people, and to facilitate exchange. Transportation being a means of ex change and a publlo necessity, the gor- 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 transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the government in the interest of the people. Tb laad, including all the natural resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people, and should not be mono pollztd for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should to pro hibited. All lands now held by rail roads and other corporations in excels of their actual seeds od all lands now owned by aliens, .hould be reclaimed by the government and held for actual cttlcrs enly.

Ltt us try to reform roll tics by tsking whUky out of our politi cal conventions, and at'ow noonoto repreient us in ollice, except those who do not use distilled liquors. That will be a good beginning. Then we will follow it up with the reduction of the use of spirituous liquors. Will give you my plan farther along First let us see what the consumption of liquor is in tbe United States. In 1893 it was one billion gallons, being an increase cf about S per cent over the last decade before, and 2 per rent over the increase of population, at the same time not more thau 1 per cent of the total was used for any other purpose than as a beverage. The use of it as such is destructive to the mental facul ties; and It so, nothing very good can be looked for politically, morally or re llglously from it. Nothing but deprav ity follows the use of distilled liquors A diagnosis of its use shows, first the habit is formed, then when drunkenness be gins disease commences, and gets worse unless checked, the same as typhoid fever or any other dlseaao. If not s toped it will terminate fatally No two diseases act the same way on the system. All diseases tend to the destruction of the entire system. All can see that the liquor disease trets worse and worse uutll it ends often in delirium tremens, ''snakes in the boots." Now for the remedy. In 1840 the Washicgonian society was started in Baltinioie. Your humole tervant joined it in 1843. Many societies have been tarted for tbe suppression of the use of spirituous liquors, (distilled "Hqnld damnation" if you please), and the jails, penitentiariesand lunatic asylums spank Im loud tones for its suppression; the schools and churches are also strong allies against it; and the Prohibition party is fighting for its annihilation But tbe combined influence of all those societies, together with4he prayers of tbe Christian world, docs no good; for the vice is on the increase, as above shown. What is to bs done? Things look dark. We have the saloons, with all their paraphernalia, entrenched behind b'hlnd the law, and we have fought them in all thapes and have oaareed their batteries all without success. Now suppose we do as Washington's army did at Yorkstown, Oliver Perry on the lakes, Jackson at New Orleansi Grant at Appjmattix: stratagem was what made tne British lion roar twice in our history, and the rebels in 18G4. Now my plan is, to work the reform movement to haul off our troops from the face of their vaunted cannon, and et the saloons alone; a je about; and as the present law is to arrest a drunk mao, fetch him up before the officer and m .kd him pay a flue that is a prece dent. Now we will change it a little, and when the criminal, that the law has made, is brought before the officer. hive him be compelled to to'l where he got his liquor. The judgment shall be tnat he be taken to the Keeiey cure and compelled to stay there until the lacally cays he is cured. And compel the man thttt let him have the poison pay the court charges, aleo his fare and ex penses of the cure. This is granting the gold cure of Dr. Keeiey is a genuine cure. It has been Investigated by eminent men and they find it effectual, tuat it stops all desire ior uquor, ana not more tnan oe in a hundred ever gels druuk again. If he does, send him not Itss thau five years to hard labor, or to the U. ti. army. We huuld look on a drunk man witu pity, as he has been duped and caugbt the disease, and we should heap our auathe- mas on the mau that gave him the dis eased appetite. I ihluic this plan will reduce the drunkards, also reduce the amount of iquursaold, and the saloon buslats wilt not be so profitable aud saloon will bo reduoed In numbers, lioskdu. the boudsmcn for the saioon wan will be more cautious In the bond sigmd, at they will be responsible for tuo ex- pentts uf the druukaro. It seems to me that by this plan the liquor bul nes would be killing ltsulf Temper o aieutl" tae not atonoed it: and prohibition uoe not pronibit. M t.ue. Ku.iu, Iowa, teaitfy to the patt.

We already have a partial use of the sys tem of ' consti'utlonal amendment" to the people. It ulro has the merit of being non partisan, as it can ba used by any party.- Now to make this proposi tion plain, take our maximum freight rate law, there were men in all parties who favored it. By use of the Referen dum it could have been referred to the people, who would have voted on It subject to no partisan bias, and if car ried by a majority it would have become a law. It is the only practical system of majority rule. There were men of all parties who favored the law, there fore it could not have been a partisan measure. What I wish to impress on the editorial mind is tho fact that if it is to become a part of our state plat form (I so understood the article) the reform press should publish a full ex plain tlon of the workings of the law, and its effects. I have been at work for threo years trying to got tho "reform preis" to take the matter of the Re ferendum up, and place it before the people. It is the quickest and most desirable way in whloh to reach need ed reforms, and I have yet to find the man who when be understands it, Is not in favor of its adoption. Farmer. A Co-operative Plan Proposed. J. W. Logan's plan for organizing a universal co-operative association which will be self supporting: 1st. - Kich person must take $100 in stock, which way bo paid either In money or work. 2nd. Each member to be required to work four hours each day, which shall entitle him or her to board and room, and each member may go and come when he pleases, being only required to work when present. If he or she wishes to work for stock, then they will be required to work 8 hours per day, 4 hours to apply on stock, allowing say 25ots. per hour, or $1 per day of 4 hours; stock to be Issued in $1, 12, $5, and 810, which will be received at par for any commodities the society may have to sell. 3rd. Each department shall be man aged by a board of directors to be elect ed by ballot. Business of all kinds will bo carried on. All titles to be in tho name of tho society and all wages to be the same, The mother of a healthy child which shall bo left with the society shall be entitled to $50 in stock and the child saall be cared for and educated by the society, the mother to have no care of the child unless she shall work in that department Mr. Logan of Omaha proposes the above plan for discussion by our readers. Editor Alliance-Independent. The War Ha Jost Began. Yes, the war ha justbegun the civil war by ch II moans. The tayonet is rusty and the cannon is cold, so let them remain. The weapons we should handle now are those of peace, and these should be so used as to win the victory by the ballo. The ballot the gleaming, yet bloodless weapon of the thinking soul, and the safeguard of the millions. The reforms we are seeking must come through the wise exercise of the high est right we know, the right to expret s our views ef men and laws by the secret ballot. Of nearly 70,000,000 people 14, 000,100 have this sacred right of ballot resting on tblr manhood, and are to exercise it for the weal or woe of 1,500, 000,000 human beings. How are they going to do this? No 14,000,000 men have ever bad the concrete right to vote it one day In any country but this. And here do all wisely weigh this ballot right? In limes past have not too many too lightly considered the worth and the power of this speechless slip f paper? OJ what worth aad power when one slip wisely or unwlsoly marked ran change for good or for bad the destiny of this nation!

The presi dent to-day transmitted to congress another chapter uf llawaiiun corre spondence, including the dispatches which arrived from liuwaii at San Francisco, February 10, and reached the state department Saturday morn ing. In a letter to Secretory Gresliam, Minister Willis wrote concerning the anniversary of the revolution: Kir: Tho first anniversary of the provisional government was celebrated ast Wednesday, January K, in ac cordance with the program set forth In dispatch No. 2S, of January 10, by public reception, military parade. Illuminations of executive buildings nnd a mas meeting at night. Nono of the foreign representatives partici pated hi the observance of the day. No salutes were fired from the Ameri can, English or Japanese, war vesels in port. Tho day passed with no dis turbance. The representatives of foreign governments acted upon the instructions of their own government and upon their own responsibility, with the distinct disavowal upon the prt of the representative of the United Ktatca that its action was either intended or desired to control theirs. Frequent editorials, similar in char acter to those enclosed, niuny of them severely reflecting upon the president of the United States and his secretary of state and also upon Mr. Blount, have appeared in the daily press. As the Hawaiian question is now pending before congress and as the feeling here has been very intense, I have not thought proper thus far to take any oflicial notice of them. I would be glad to have instructions from you upon the subject. Very respectfully, Albert S. Willis, E. E. and M. P. Mr. Willis inclosed reports of the speeches at the anniversary celebra tion, which Bhowod that those who participated in the revolution still hoped for annexation to the United States. The reply cf Minister Willis to Pres ident Dole's long letter of complaint is also made public,, In this Mr. Willis said: . "Referring to matters that occurred before my arrival, I do not feel at lib erty to discuss further than to say they were not at the time given the unfriendly construction now com puted to then, nor do they, except in a very remote degree, bear upon your statements as to 'purpose to use force.' " I come to the paragraph which quotes several expressions from an in terview in a local paper of November 16. As this does not involve my "at titude," I have this to say "The sub ject matter of the interview and the circumstances out of which it arose were known to you at the time. On the forenoon of Wednesday, November Damon,l,riof io, ine lion. n. m nuance, notified me in person that there were rumors of an attack that night or the ensuing night upon the executive building, Tho government did not credit these rumors but there were many people who had appre hensions upon the subject in conse quence of which he informed me. the regular guard had been increased and one of the volunteer companies would be ordered under arms for the night I remarked: "The Japanese consul gen eral, the English minister and other foreign representatives have alreadv called to say their people are appre hensive of mob violence and had asked me, as the only representative whoso government had war vessels in port, to protect their people. The friends of the queen are also apprehensive as to her safety. I do not wish to inter fere in any way with your domestic affairs, except with your approval. If you do not object, however,! will pub licly announce the United States will co-operate to prevent mob violence. I will also state there will be no' communication to your government xrora tno president of the United States lor several weeks." Mr. Damon replied thanklnc me for the offer and saying no could see no objection whatever, and that such an announcement would go very far to ward allying excitement and relieving general anxieiy. in reply to tho questions as to whether the order calling out the volunteers could not be rescinded, he said he would go immediately to the executive buildinar uuv ne -was airam it was too late to make any change for that night. The following evening I met Mr. Damon at a d nner given by Captain r.urker, on board the United States ilagship Philadelphia, when he ex- preswu ins nearty approval and ap preciation oi my action and said the effect of the interview which you quote had been to greatly relieve the apprehension of the community as to mob violence. On the following morning you called at the legation aud being informed of tho preceding facts, and a stated in your letter you expressed your satis faction ami approval t.f what had occurred. The representative of the turtgn government and many prominent emxeiia expressed them selvea to the anit effect.

Ah the president dis tinctly announced he would only act 'within the constitutional limst of executive power," he precluded the sdea of using force and affirmed his declaration of November 1, delivered through Secretary Gresham, not to do anything which would cause injury to life and property of anyone at "the islands. If these "visiting citizens" who descriqe the preparations, drills, etc, aboard our naval vessels, had made in quiry of the officers in command, their apprehensions would have been promptly allayed by the information that what they saw on that Friday, they could have seen on any third Friday in the month, it being the usuul 4,squadron routine drill," viz., boat drill, fire party, arm and away, requiring the "packing of knapsacks," and other preparations which you de tail. ' .....- I desire to state the only com munication of the political character which I had with the queen was on three occasions. The sole purpose of these negotiations were, aa you know, to secure proper guarantee from tho queen as to life and property of all connected with the overthrow of the monarchy. These havinir been secured, I then. under the Instructions of the presi dent of tho United States, presented his decisions, setting forth the rea sons therefor and submitting to your government for ita voluntary action. Minister Willis explains in detail all she other apecifleatlons of Mr. Dole. KX MARSHAL WILSOX SHOWN DP. Februrry 3 Mr. Willis writes Secre tary Urcsham as follows: In my dispatch No. 10 of December 9, 18fl3, transmitting an interview with Colonel O. 11. Wilson, former marshal of the kingdom, reference is made by him to a list of special and supple mentary advisers whom he had se lected and amonir whom were many of the most prominent and influential citixens. Jt was not claimed by Mr. Wilson, as far as I am in formed, that the selection - by him was with the knowledge or consent of these gentlemen, some of whom in tho daily preBS and others to me in person, have so stated. Among these are Honorable Rich F. Btcketon. first associate justice of the supreme court; Honorable W, Austin Whiting, first judge circuit court and the Hon orable F.A.Schacfer wboexplicUIvdia vows any knowledge of the said list and states the use of their names was entirely unautorized and unwar ranted. The same disavowal is made by the Hon. A. G. M. Koberson. the lion. Paul Neuman, Messrs. James If. lioyd, Henry Smith, Thomas B. Lucas, W. M. Cunningham and others.
