People's Party Platform.

FOUND AT 10 NPR 1N CIPLES. First. —That the union of the labor forces of the United States tins 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.—W ealth belongs to him who creates it, and ev cry dollar taken from industry without an equivalent is robbery. ‘lf 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 powerof the national a dministration by the use of such additional government employes. FINANCE First—We demand a national currency, safe, sound and flexible, issued by the general government only, a full legal tender for all debts public and private, and that without tile use of banking corporations, a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent, per annum to lie 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 111 to 1. We demand that the amount of circulating medium lie speedily increased to not less t han SSO 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 lienee we d -mand 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 be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All landsnow held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs and all la nds now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTIONS. Whereas. Other questions have been pre- ■ sented 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 to ex-Union soldiers and sailors. Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world and crowds out our wage earners; and we denounce the 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. 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 States by a direct vote of the people. Resolved. That we oppose any subsidy or national aid to any private corporation for any purpose.

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 ithree months including Coin's Financial School.

Liberal Offer.

At any time before Aug. 20th, 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 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 fewweeks. If it is not convenient to send in a club of ten. send a less number, even one name will be appreciated. Remember that the offer holds good only until August 20th.

SPECIA E 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.

JOURNALISTIC JABS.

The United States is the only nation on earth that is begging money from foreigners to keep itself alive. —Farmer’s Voice. Davy Crockett's motto was be sure you are right and go ahead. The populists know their principles are founded upon the bedrock of eternal truth, consequently will keep up a constant warfare until right triumphs over wrong. Logansport Advance. A fellow by the name of Mitchell. a southern bank president, has written a book favoring the gold standard. In it he says that if all the nations in the world should demonetize gold it would Ifise none of its commercial value. That is, if you destroy the market for an article it will not affect the price of the article. Great Scott! What are lunatic asylums for while a fellow with a mind like that is at large.-Ex.

It leaks out from Washington that the Cleveland presidential program is foi Mr. Cleveland to be nominated by acclamation, with the understanding that he will decline the honor, thus placing himself beside Washington as having declined a third term. It is his desire that the convention then nominate John G. Carlisle. It is our judgment that, if this is Mr. Cleveland’s plan, it will miscarry. Mr. Carlisle is persona non grata, as the diplomats say, to too large a fob lowing in the president’s party? A man just as surely a gold bug will be chosen, but it will be one whom the bosses can make appear a silverite until after the election.- Progressive Farmer.

When the gold-bug parties have to call to their aid Eli Perkins, the man whose only reputation comes from his ability to tell big lies, they are in straits sure enough. We would advise Eli to hold up until he has had time to consult his Uncle Consider.—Progressive Farmer. A good, honest farmer was standing in front of the court house yesterday looking mournfully at his tax receipt. He said: •“I brought a bale of cotton here five years ago; sold it for $49.25. With this money I paid my taxes, #22; got a dress for my wife, #5; shoes for the children, #6; a barrel of flour, #6.50; fifty pounds of sugar, $4: ten pounds of coffee. $2, and went home happy with $3.75 in my pocket for the preacher. I brought in a bale to-day; sold it for $22.50; paid my taxes, $22.25, and have a quarter left. They tell me I can get flour and frocks and sugar and shoes for half I paid then, but it ’pears to me 1 hain’t got the half. I've made up my mind to invest this quarter in United States bonds and howl for the gold standard." Birmingham State.

Grover (at the telephone)— Hello! Is that you, Carle? Carlisle—Yes, Grov.; what can Ido for you? Grover—Call up Belmont’s supply store and ask them to send me a lot of the best gold bugs they have. I must have good bait to catch suckers this year.—Hardy Herald. Disguise the fact as you may, the principal objection to the free and unlimited coinage of silver is that it will offend “Wall street” and the gold speculators. That little gold game is quite profitable, and they could, perhaps. arrange for another slice of bonds.-American Bimetallist.

It is unsafe at all times that the treasury of the United States government should be compelled to barter with any cabal of bankers and financiers either in America or Europe for the pro-

tection and the maintenance of its monetary prestige. Such an instance, or a few instances, of this character is by no means a gurantee of protection and solvency. though this has been done it is an ignoble confession, and should make every true patriot blush with shame.-To Date, Chicago What is needed to make your farm pay? money, says the farmer. What would restore prosperity to commerce? More money, replies the merchant. Why are not things booming in this marvelously rich country? There is no money, answers the man amidst the unoccupied acres in the rich west. The common millions answer thus. But the lone banker, sitting in his richly upholstered chair, waiting fur h's victim, as the spider waits for the fly, knows more, in his own estimation, than all the rest, and tells us that our whole trouble is over-production and natural reaction from a great prosperity.—Farmer’s Voice.

Time Card.

The Indiana State F. A. and I. U. will meet in annual session, the second Wednesday in Dec. 1895.

National Alliance Aid.

This is the title of the aid degree of the F. A. and I. U., and is the most perfect and economical insurance yet devised. It carries out fully the fraternal features of the order. The expenses are as follows: Membership Fee. $1,060 single policy $5.00 $2,000 single policy 6.00 SI,OOO joint policy 7.50 $2,000 joint policy 9.00 Registry fee, single policy 1.00 Registry fee, joint policy 1.50 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. 18 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 48 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 Cost 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 dn losses, at an expense of 12,413,000, or a total average of $9 for every $ 1,000 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,OOO carried, of which $10.34 went to pay the expense!! • You pay your money and take your 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.
