Ind. Rensselaer. Thursday, July ‘<£.s.

People’s Party Platform.

FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES. First.—That the union of the labor forces of the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual; may its spirit enter 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 robbery. ‘-If any will not work, neither shall he eat.” The interests of civic and rural labor are the same; their interests are identical. 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 railroads, 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 an increase of the power of the national administration by the use of such additional government employes.

FINANCE First—We demand a national currency, safe, sound and flexible. Issued by the general government ionly, a full legal tender for all debts public and private, and that without the use of banking icorporations. a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2 percent.per annum to be provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers’Alliance or a-better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for public improvements. We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1. We demand that the amount of circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than 850 per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible 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 government, economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings bank be established by the government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people and to facilitate exchange. TRANSPORTATION Second—Transportation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the government, should own and operate the railroads In the interests of the people. The telegraph and telephone, like the postoffice system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the Government in the interest of the people. LANDS. Third—The land, including all the natural . sources of wealth, is the heritage of the people, and should not he monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs and all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only.

SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, Other questions have been presented for our consideration, we hereby submit the following, not as a part of the platform of the People’s Party, but as resolutions expressive of the convention. Resolved, That we demand a free ballot and a fair count in ail elections and pledge ourselves to secure it to every legal voter without federal intervention through the adoption by the States of the unperverted Australian or secret ballot system. Resolved, That the revenue derived from a graduated income tax should be applied to the reduction of the burden of taxation, now levied upon the domestic industries of this country. Resolved, That we pledge our support to fair and liberal pensions toex-Uniou soldiers and sailors. Resolved. That we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the pi esent system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world and crowds out our wage earners: and we denounce tlie present ineffective laws against contract labor and demand the further restriction of undesirable immigration. Resolved. That we cordially sympathize with the efforts of organized workmen to shorten the hours of labor and demand a rigid enforcement of the existing eight hour law on government work and ask that a penalty clause be added to the said law. V Resolved. That we regard the maintenance of a large standing army of mercenaries. known as the Pinkerton system, asa menace to our liberties, and we demand its abolition and we condemn the recent invasion of the Territory of Wyoming by the hired assassins of plutocracy, assisted by federal officers. Resolved. That we commend to the thoughtful consideration of the people and the reform press the legislative system known as the initiative and referendum. Resolved. That we favor a Constitutional provision limiting the office of President and Vice President to one term and providing for the election of senators of the United Btates by a direct vote of the people. Resolved. That we oppose any subsidy or national aid to any private corporation for any purnose. Nearly every reader of the Pilot has a friend some where who would like to hear from Jasper county. It costs but 2c a week to send them all the news, beautifully printed: why not do it? Twenty-five cents for three moDths including Coin’s Financial School.

Liberal Offer. At any time before Aug. 20th. j the People's Pilot will be sent to new trial subscribers, in clubs of ten. for ten weeks at 10 cents each. The names need not all be at one postoffice, or confined to Jasper county, but may be in different states if desired. It is hoped that friends of the paper will forward clubs as above and at once increase the j circulation of the paper by at | least 1000 new names. It is believed that a large proportion of the new ones will become permanent subscribers after they have read the paper for a few weeks. If it is not convenient to send in a club of ter?, send a less number, even one name will be appreciated. Remember that the offer holds good only until August 20th.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

All persons who are entitled to premium books and have not received them will kindly advise us of the fact and they will be sent at once. The People's Pilot.

Let Us Alone

“Let us alone." said Jefferson Davis, after he had drawn eleven States out of the Union, and established a separate government, “All we ask of you people of the North is to let us alone! - ’ But the people did not let him alone. Whigs, republicans. democrats, crushed their prejudices, broke party lines asunder, leveled every obstruction, filled every ditch that.- separated them, and rushed forward to bring back the fugitives. N This was patriotism, iove of country promptly to save the Union, and the actors in it are hailed as veteran heroes. “Let us alone.” say the gold owners, the fund holders, the coupon clippers, the salary grabbers. after they have cornered the gold, got it into their control, and had it declared the only money, thereby destroying prices, paralyzing industry, "killing enterprise and ruining business. “All we ask of you common people, you farmers and workingmen, is to let us alone.” And the people not only let them alone, but take them upon their shoulders and carry them still higher, higher, every 3’ear and give them more complete concontrol; If the former action of the ! people was patriotism, what should their later course be called? The plans of the South for separate government were not half so destructive of hu i inanity's best interests as arej he plans of the money power j 'or laying tribute upon popular udustry and enterprise. —Pro 'ressive Farmer. i

THE PEOPLE S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY AUG. 1.1895.

JOURNALISTIC JABS.

This time next year. 1*96. free silver Democrats and free silver Republicans will eat crow or bolt the old ticket.—Logansport Advance. if Gov. Altgelt. of Illinois, makes a habit to call the legislature together when the thing hasadjourned itself into harmlessness, he will get himself disliked.—Farmer's Voice. It is sometimes charged that the money power desires to substitute a monarchy for the Republic. Great Scott! Cleveland and Congress can see a monarchy and go several better.-Farmer's Voice

If all the gold in the world were equally divided among all the people of the world, it would not be large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Yet we are asked to make this the basis of all the promises of all the people.—Frankfort Times. The gold-bug organ-in-chief in Chicago is doing, its best to ridicule the Harvey-Horr debate. It calls it “a freak museum/’ This is pretty hard on Brother Hon. who was going to annihilate the “school boy” before breakfast on the second day.— Inter Ocean. The editor of the senior organ of the Democratic party opened his eyes last week long enough to announce that he had the largest circulation in the county. As he carries his weekly grist to the postoffice in a small peach basket the Journal is inclined to doubt the truth of the statement. —Delphi Journal.

Every one of the many recent converts to free silver is a witness to the truth that his own party has been wrong on this question these many years and that the people’s party has been right. Why, then, may w’e not be right on the other great questions? Why not join the people's party, which is the only party really favoring free silver.— Farmer’s Tribune.

The Chattanooga, Tenn., banker who wrote a book, laments the fact that while we go to experts in the several lines of business when we want advice or service, we refuse to go to the banker when we want advice on finance. Sensible people never go into a lion’s den to learn what the brute thinks of raw meat. They study the subject at a respectful distance.—Farmer’s Voice.

Colonel Watterson. in the Louisville Courier Journal, says the record of the Democratic party from 1861 to 1895 is “a history of one blunder following another in almost unbroken succession.” and what it needs is a set of new leaders with the courage of their convictions, “not noisy zealots, drunk upon the verbosity of their own rhetoric.’’ All of which goes to show that Henry knows a whole lot,—Delphi Journal.

The Harvey-Horr debate is still going on. Horr is getting the worst of it, decidedly, and is squealing like a stuck" pig. He continually dodges the main point, his only argument being ridicule, but his ridicule don’t go All the applause and enthusiasm is on Harvey’s side. Horr is now aware that he has caught a Tartar, and wishes he was out of it. But Harvey will pour hot shot into him while he him in the corner.—Tipton Union Dispatch.

One’of the much used arguments against the free coinage of silver is that it will drive gold out of circulation. It is argued that silver will at once become the standard, and that gold will go to a premium and be retired. Suppose it does, who will be the loser? How much gold is in actual circulation now? How many of our readers have handled ten dollars in gold in a year? We are reduced to a single gold standard, yet in the ordinary transactions of life silver pays a thousand dollars to where gold pays one. Let them retire gold if they want to. The fact is, they can't retire it more effectually than it is. But it will not have that effect. When 16 ounces of silver are worth as much for mintage and debt-paying purposes as.one of gold. its bullion vaiue will rise to a parity with the bullion value of gold. When silver in the United States is worth a hundred cents for coinage who will take less for any other purpose? And who in afi the world will take less than 100 sents for silver bullion when it is worth that in the United States? Give us free coinage ind let gold take cate of itself. —Tipton Union Dispatch.

The Rothchilds Are In It.

Many who cannot bring themselves to doubt the patriotism of American rulers, refuse to believe that the Rothchilds cut so great a figure in our financial affairs as has been claimed by the populists. We presume they will not dispute the reports of the officers themselves. We clip the following from the Washington dispatches to the public press. It ought to convince any one:

Representatives of the Treasury. Assistant Secretary Curtis, Chief Clerk Logan Carlisle. L. O. Murray and Wm. Messervy, who delivered the bonds to the Rothchilds in London,refer to the transaction as replete with interesting incidents. The .bonds were transported to London in strong boxes lined with tin. There were 34,940 bonds of a par value of $31,157,700. Of this number 28,877 were SIOOO bonds, 41,186 were SSOO bonds, and 877 were SIOO bonds. The treasury representatives reached Southampton June 5. There the twelve boxes containing the bonds were placed in a baggage van of a railroad train, guarded by two of the Rothchilds’ private detectives. and were taken to London on the 6th. The boxes were taken from the railroad station to the Rothchilds’ banking house in their private van, carefully guarded by their detectives. The work of counting, signing and delivering the bonds began on June 7. Notwithstanding all the precautions taken to prevent any of the precious documents being lost or stolen, it is a fact that they were all absolutely worthless to any one who might have become possessed of them, yet the loss of any one would of put the department to great inconvenience. The mission of Logan Carlisle and Wm. Messervy was to add their initials and practically perfect the bonds: so it will be seen that, after all, the mission to London was a very important one. The work of formally signing and delivering the oonds took place in a private room in the Rouhchilds' banking house. About 300 of the bonds were signed each day, and it required twelve working days to complete the task. As each bond was completed it was passed over to Lord Rothcbild, and when a day’s work was ended he gave a receipt to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis for the number that had been delivered. Meanwhile the entire twelve boxes containing the bonds were secured in the safety .vault in the Rothchilds’ bank.—Progressive Farmer.

National Alliance Aid.

This is the title of the aid de- | gree of the F. A. and I. U., and , is the most perfect and economi|cal insurance yet devised. It j carries out fully the fraternal features of the order. The expenses are as follows: Membership Fee. SIJ'OO single policy $5.90 $2,000 single policy t;.oo SI,OOO joint policy 7.50 $2,000 joint policy 9.00 Registry fee. single policy 1.00 Registry fee. joint policy j. 50 Annual dues, single policy, 50 cents per $1,000; annual dues, joint policy, 75 cents per SI,OOO. In all cases where -application is rejected all money paid on membership fee and advance assessment shall be returned or held subject to applicant. Joint policies are limited to husband and wife, and loss payable to the survivor. SI,OOO Single Policy SI,OOO Joint Policy Age. Assessment. Age Assessment. 10 to 25 SI.OO 18 to 25 $1.50 25 to 30 1.10 25 to 30 1.65 30 to 35 1.20 30 to 35 1.80 35 to 40 1.35 35 to 40 2.05 40 to 45 1.50 40 to 45 2.25 45 to 48 1.75 45 to 48 2.65 $8 to 50 2.00 48 to 50 3.00 After joining, assessments do not increase in amount with increasing age. Assessments are officially ordered six times a year, viz: Jan. 1, March 1. May 1, July 1, Sept. 1 and Nov. 1 Can I join the aid degree without joining the Alliance? Certainly not. You would not ask to become a 32d degree mason without passing through the lower degrees, just so, you cannot join the second degree of the Alliance without first becoming a member in the regular way. Organize an Alliance and

then form an Aid Degree lodge. Parties can write to C. Vincent at Indianapolis or James Welsh at Rensselaer regarding the establishment of a Degree lodge and we hope the farmers will generally engage in this work.

Comparative Const of Life Insurance.

Official reports show for 1893 the following in regard to the three classes of life insurance in the United States. Fraternal Societies, including the National Alliance Aid, have 1,801,000 members, carrying $3,000,000,000 in risks; paying $31.000,000 in losses, at an expense of $2,413,000, or a total average of *9 for every SI,OOO insurance carried, of which only 62 cents per SI,OOO was used for expense. Ordinary Assessment Companies had 1,676,000 members, carrying $4,170,000,000 in risks, paying $28,655,000 in losses, with $18,305,000 for expense; or total cost per SI,OOO, of $11.70, of which $4.50 went for expenses. Old Line Companies had 1,167,000 member.?, carrying $3,213,000,000 of risks, paying $57,192,000 at an expense of $48,636,000 or total cost of $32 per SI,POO carried, of which $10.34 went to pay the expense!! You pay your money and take ydur choice. The expense of conducting the old line company is more than the entire cost of Insurance in the Fraternal Society.

The fraternal orders furnish the cheapest kind of life insurance in the world, and the farmers live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is lower than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will be cheaper than in any other order—the cheapest in the world. The following counties in Indiana are now represented in the Aid Degree: Boone, DeKalb. Green, Hamilton, Henry. Madison, Marion and Tipton.
