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 !oniy, 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 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of circulating medium lie speedily increased to not less than 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 hence we demand that all state and national revenues shall be limited to tlie necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings bank lie 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 lie 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 new 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, nowlevied 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 tollie 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 bired 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 prevision 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 & friend some where who would like to hear from Jasper county. It costs but 2c a week to sebd them all the news, beautifully printed; why not do ft? 7 wenty-five cents for three Booths 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 T 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 ten. send a less number, even one name will be appreciated. Remember that the offer holds good only until August 20th.

SPECIAL SOT ICE. 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 $100,000,000 the secretary is pauperizing the people to keep in treasury to redeem $346,000,000 of greenbacks is without law. There is no law requiring this gold reserve. To tax the people and bond posterity to maintain this $100,000,000 in gold is plain robbery. Why do the people submit to it? There is just as much law to keep a billion idle dollars in the treasury as a hundred million. vVhat is this gold reserve for. any way? Secretary Carlisle says it is to redeem the greenbacks, when, in fact, he redeems every other sort of money with it, No merchant, mechanic, farmer or laborer ever presented a dollar of greenbacks for redemption. Who does? The English gold gamblers. Then who is the government run for? Plainly for English money power and not for the people of the United States. Who’s country is this any way ?—Exchange. We doubt if there ever was a cabinet minister who brought himself into such frequent ridicule as does Secretary of Agriculture Morton. He imagines himself exceedingly funny, and as a master stroke of “funnyness,” he recently ordered the salary of statistician Robinson paid iri silver dollars. Mr. Robinson is opposed to the gold standard, and Mr. Morton though thus to spite him. But not a bit of it. Robinson understands a principle, a thing Morton has never been accused of. and now all Washington is guying Morton. Progressive Farmer.

The gold-bug press is prating about the deposits in savings banks and asking the “poor people’’ whose savings are in the banks if they wish to be paid in “58-cent" dollars?” Well, if the gold 200-cent dollar is to be maintained, let these “poor people" try to draw’out their money in the 200-cent dollars, and see how quickly the banks will close their doors with a bang.—Exchange. It is strongly' intimated from Washington that, in the approaching elections the administration will favor republican candidates in preference to antiCleveland democrats. It is j pretty clearly in evidence that this course was pursued by the administration in 1804. —Progressive Parmer. It is really amusing to see the way in which the goldbud papers are suppressing Mr. Harvey’s part of the Horr-Harvey debate, although it is exceedingly encouraging to the friends of free and unlimited coinage of

both silver and gold, for it shows all of them are afraid to let their readers know’ the truth. —Evansville Courier. Until those who are being robbed get together and wipe out all the laws and constitutions that sanction robbery, the toilers will groan under the burdens the idlers lay upon them. —Star and Kansan. The gold bugs say silver dol lars are unsound money. We admit it. Silver dollars as recognized by the laws now. are only token money. Mr. Carlisle even redeems them in gold, they j are so valueless! What he does ' with them after they are re j deemed no one knows. When ' silver dollars are coined free, and are a full iegal tender, and gold redemption is knocked out, silver will be sound money, and not until then. —Fort Wayne Dispatch. Mayor Pingree’s potato patch on ground belonging to the city

of Detroit, promises to yield handsomely this season. It is estimated the yield will be from 100 to 150 bushels per acre. Employment is given to nearly 200 men, women and children who otherwise would be vagrants. Recently, while paying a visit to the city’s potato field, some of the Polish. women employed there left their work and kissed the mayor’s hand in gratitude for the opportunity afforded them of making even a scant living by working for the city. It will pay any student of reform to keep his eye on Mayor Pingree’s “potato patch.”— Chicago Sentinel. Readers of history cannot fail to note the similarity of the reports of movements in Cfuba to those sent out by Great Britain along about 1776 to 1781. If the Cubans do nothing more than to forever ruin the credit of that effete old monarchy they will confer a lasting favor on humanity; but all lovers of liberty hope to see them succeed in gaining their liberty.—Nonconformist.

“Labor runs ihe bakery, but capital takes the cake.”-Logans-sport Advance. In the bank of England hangs a picture of Senator John Sherman, which cost the bank $6,000.

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

Coin s Financial School ( price 25c) is given free to every new trial subscriber of The People's Pilot. Twenty-five cents for three months. then form an Aid Degree lodge. Parties can write to C. Vincent at Indianapolis or James V elsh 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 in losses, at an expense of *2,413,000, or a total average of *9 for every *I,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 lc'sses, with $18,305,000 for expense; or total cost per SI,OOO, of *11.70, of which $4.50 went for expenses.

Old Line Companieshad 1.167,000 members, 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 l:>wer than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will bo 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.
