Pc:;!ss Partj PlJtfsra Thepwpie's party reaffirms its ad herence to the basic truths of the Omaha , platform of 1892, and of the subsequent platforms of 1896 and 1900. In session in Its fourth national con vention on July 4, 1904, in the city of Springfield, 111., it draws inspiration from the day that saw the birth of the nation, as well as its own birth as a party, and also from the soul of him who lived at its present place of meet ing.' ' ,; We renew our allegiance to the old fashioned" American spirit that gave this nation existence, and made it dis tinctive among the peoples of the earth. We again sound the keynote of the Declaration of Independence, that ail men are created equal in a politir cai sense, which Js the sense in which Hut- Instrument being -a political document, intended that the utterance should be understood. We assert that the departure from this fundamental truth is responsible for the Ills from which we suffer a3 a nation; that the giving of special privileges to Jthe few has enabled them to dominate . the many, thereby tending to destroy '.the political equality which is the corner stone of democratic government. ! , We. call for, a return to the truths of the fathers, and we vigorously pro test against the spirit of mammonism and of thinly-yelled monarchy, that ia invading certain sections of. our na tional life, and of the very administra4 tion itself. This is a nation of peace, arm we deplore the appeal to the spir4 it ol. force and militarism which; is shown in Ul-ad vised and vainglorious toasting and, in more harmful ways Jn the t'ocial of the rights of man un der ;n a? ilal law. ; -A political democracy and an indus trial ucspotism cannot exist side by skip; -and nowhere is this truth more plainly shown than in the gigantic moubjioues which hare bred all sorts of kindrec trusts, subverted the gov ernments of . many of ,the states,' and establrcd their official agents in the national 'government We " submit that-it. is better for the government to own the railroads than for the'; rail-' roads ! to own ' the government ; "; and that one or ; the I : other alternative seems inevitable. . r v XX- ?'."V'r'" I We call the, attention ;ot. our fellow citizens to the fact that the surrender of both of the old parties to corporate influences leaves the people's party the only, party of reform in the na tion. : -sf : ' . ; . I ; Therefore, we, sunmuj the following platform of principles to the Ameri can people: rf-4' i'''V!J;'":,:"v'' , The issuing of money is a function of government, and should never be delegated to corporations or individ uals. .The constitution gives to .con gress alone power to coin money and regulate Us value." ' . ', We demand, therefore, that all mon ey shall-be issued by;the government in ; such quantity as shall maintain stability ia prices,, every dollar, to be a fujl leal tender, none of which shall be a debt redeemable . in other money. ; ; "We demand ' that; 'postal savings banks be established by the govern ment for the safe deposit of the 'sav ings of the people - . - Upn, and direct vote for all public offi cers, with the right of recall. Land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is a heritage of all the people, and should not be monop olized tor speculative purposes; and alien ownership of land should be pro hibited. - We demand a return to the original Interpretation of the constitution and a fair and Impartial enforcement of laws under it and denounce govern ment by injunction and imprisonment without the right of trial by jury. To prevent unjust discrimination and monopoly, the government should own and control the railroads; and those public utilities, which in their nature are monopolies. To perfect the postal service, the government should own and operate the general telegraph and telephone systems, and provide a par cels post. . " ' .' ; . -.- , ' .- - - - l As to. those trusts and monopolies which are not public utilities ornat-; ural monopolies, we demand that those special privileges which they now en joy, and which aldne enable them to exist.v should be immediately, with drawn. Corporations 'being the crea tures of government should be sub jected to. such governmental regula tions and control as will adequateiy protect the public. Wa demand the taxation of monopoly privileges, while they remain , in private hands, to the extent of the value of the piivileges granted. . . , .. : ,We demand that congress shall . en act a general law uniformly regulat ing, the, pqwer and s duties of all in corporated .companies doing interstate business. . :: ; . .- ...

Lincoln Wall Paper & Paint Co, 1 S 230 South llth., Street Lincoln, Nebraska J L We believe in the right of laoor to organize tor the ; benefit and protec tion of those who' toil; and pledge the eiforts of' the1 people's ; party ; to pie serve this right inviolate.' Capital is 6rganized and has no right "to deiy to labor the privilege which it claims for itself We feci that intelligent organi zation of labor: is essential p that it raises the standard of workmanship, and promotes the efficiency, Intelli gence, independence and character of the wageearner. We believe with Abraham Lincoln that labor is prior to capital and is not its slave, but its companion; and we plead for that broad spirl;of toleration and Justice which will' pcomote industrial peace through the observance of the prin ciples of voluntary arbitration. We favor the enactment of legisla tion looking to the improvement of conditions for wage-earnera, the aboli tion of child Ubcr, the suppression of sweat Bhopsi and of convict labor, in competition with free labor, aud the exclusion from American shores of foreign paupvr labor. We favor the shorter work day, and declare that if eljtht hour rouatitutcs n U4"a labor in eowrnment service. thai clpM hours should constitute a day!! labor in factories, work shops an I mine?!.

" . , W'e can interpret a play two ways, on a line of virtue or the: reverse, but, to one who knows the hcrse-race meth ods of the average politician, .the in tentions and the sentiments of an as sociate of Belmont, et al., are quite apparent. - , .
