POPULIST PLATFORM!
FULL TEXT OF DECLARATION
ADOPTED AT LINCOLN "
Sett Forth In Telling Manner Princi
ples of the Reform Forces and
Points Out Delinquencies of Present
Republican Administration
Following Is the full text of the pop
ulist platform adopted by the state
convention held In Lincoln, Neb., Sep
tember 21:
We, the People's Independent Party
of Nebraska, in delegate convention
assembled, adopt the following as our
declaration of principles:
We are in favor of an amendment
to the constitution of our state plac
ing in the people themselves the right
to enact laws and likewise the right
to veto measures adopted by the legis
lature. We reaffirm our allegiance to the
principle of national ownership and
operation of the railroads as the only
true solution of the railroad and trust
problems.
We approve the Bedford freight rate
bill and condemn the corrupt legisla
ture which refused to adopt it. .
Unjust Tax Burdens
We condemn the present state ad
ministration for placing unjust tax
burdens on the people by taxing the
railroads much less than their just
proportion.
We believe that the present maxi
mum freight law can be enforced, and
we call upon the present state ad
ministration to enforce this law, and
to give the people relief thereunder
until other, further and better legisla
tion can be had upon the subject.
We direct the attention of the voters
of, the state to the fact that Charles
B. . Letton, the republican candidate

for justice of the supreme court, has
for years been traveling on railroad
passes; that he never gave aid or en
couragement to those who have hon
estly endeavored to destroy pass brib
ery; that he has never opposed the
extortionate freight rates charged by
the railroads; that he has been a part
of the railroad machine in Nebraska;
that among his prominent supporters
were railroad attorneys, railroad pass
grabbers, railroad pass distributors,
and railroad lobbyists, and we con
demn in unmeasured terms the hypo
critical pretense that a man with this
record and this support is now op
posed to corporate rule in Nebraska.
, Against Free Pass System
We demand that the next legisla
ture shall enact a law 'which will com
pletely destroy the free pass system
in Nebraska. We favor a law that
will make it punishable by fine and
imprisonment for railways to give or
for private individuals, except bona
fide employes of railway companies,
to receive transportation from any of
the railways in the state. We believe
that the free pass bribery system is
wrong for two reasons. In the first
place it is unjust discrimination and
in the second place it is a bribery sys
tem. The free pass is indefensible
from both of these standpoints. We
do not believe that we can get whole
some legislation and control of the
railways in the state until the free
pass system is destroyed. We favor
the abolition of the free pass system
to the end that we can then control
the railways and pass laws which will
reduce freight and passenger rates
and compel the railways to pay their
just proportion of the taxes.
Legislature Condemned
We condemn the last republican
legislature and remind the people of
the state of the fact that it was a
railroad procured legislature, and the
most servile legislature to the corpor
ations that has ever pretended to de
liberate upon the passage of laws at
the state house. That ' legislature
spurned with contempt all the wishes
and interests of the people. It re
fused to modify or change the revenue
law so as to distribute equally and
justly the burdens of taxation; it re
fused to pass an anti-pass law; it re
fused to pass a rate reduction law;
it refused to reduce passenger rates
upon the railways; it refused to pass
laws giving equal shipping and eleva
tor site privileges to independent per
sons and associations of the state; it
refused in every instance to respond
to the people's demands and always
obeyed the mandates of the railroads.
What People's Party Has Done
We call attention to the fact that
the People's Independent Party has
almost converted th3 entire country
to the principles in which we be
lieve. The principles we now advo
cate we advocated in 1890. We were
then called demagogues, anarchists
and dangerous for advocating these
principles. While we have not won
many of the offices we have been true
to our principles, and now we con
gratulate the people of the state and
of the entire country for the endorse
ment of our principles by public senti
ment almost, without regard to politi
cal party. No political party has ever
lived which has done so much towards
the . dissemination of the true prin
ciples of our form of government and
for the revival of the spirit as well as
the letter of the Declaration 6f Inde
pendence and the constitution of our
country. What was demagogic and
anarchistic in 1890 has become the ac
cepted belief of all lovers of good
government, and this is better reward
to our party than the holding of the
offices. .
"The axis of the earth," said John
ny, proudly, "is an imaginary line
which passes from one pole to the
other, and on which the earth re
volves." "Very good," exclaimed the teach
er. "Now, could you hang clothes
on that line, Johnny?"
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Indeed?" said the examiner, dis
appointed; "and what sort of
clothes?"
"Imaginary clothes, sir." Harper's
Weekly.
