RAII.KOA1K.
1. Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity, the goven

in the interest of the eople on a non-par-tissii
basis; to the end that all may lie ac

Hwer now excrcihed hy the great railroad
unrioratioiiM, which results in the impair
ment if not the des ruction ot the political
rights and personal liberties of the citizens,
may tie destroyed. Such ownership is to be
accomplished gradually in a manner con
sistent with sound policy.
'i. The intercut of the ('niled Stntes in the
public highways built with public moneys,
and the proceedi of extensive grants of land
to the I'acilic railroad should never be alien
ated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and
protec ted lor the general welfare, as pro v id
ed by tlie law of organizing such railroads.
The foreclosure of existing lines of the Uni

debt of companies, and ut the foreclosure

purchase themttneif it becomes necessary
to protect its interest therein or if they can
be puicba-ed at a reiisotialil - price; and the
government shall operate saiil railroads as
public highways tor the tienelit of the
wh.de people and not in the interest of the
few, under suitaMe provisions fur protec
tion of lile iu 'I procrt ; giving to all trans
portation ml' reils mid privileges and iiiia
rates for fares and liei'lit.
It We denounce tl.e present infamous
schemes for rt fu clihg these uebts aiid lie

their true intent aiid spirit.
4. Tlie tebgrapli, tike the postollice svs

2. We condemn the frauds by which the
land grants to the l'licitic Kail road compan

of their claims, that we demand legislation

der proper constitutional safeguards.
liCNERAL PROPOSITIONS.
1. We demand the election of President
and Vice-Uresident and United States Sena
tors bv a direct yote of tLe people.
2. we tender to the patriotic people of
Cuba our deepest sympathy in their heroic
struggle for political freedom and indepen
dence, and we believe the time has come
when the United States, the great Republic
of the world, should recognize that Cuba is
and of right ought to be a tree and inde
pendent State.
3. We favor home rule in the Territories
and the District of Columbia, and the early
admission of Territories as States.
4. All public salaries should be made to
correspond to the price of labor and its pro
ducts. 5. In times of great industrial depression,
idle labor should be employed on public
works as far as practicable.
) The arbitrary course of the courts in
assuming to imprison citizens for indirect
contempt and ruling by injunction, should
be prevented by proper legislation.
7. We favor just pensions for our disabled
Union soldiers.
8. Believing that the election franchise
and untrammeled ballot are essential to a
government of, for, and by the people, the
Peoples Tarty condemns the w' olesale sys
tern of disfranchisement a lopted in some
States as un-Republican and un-Democratic.
and we declare it to be the dutv of the sev

Will secure a full, free and fair ballot and
an honest count.
S). W hile the foregoing propositions con
stitu'e the pla'foriu upon which our party
siauds and for the vindication of which its
organization will maintain, we recognize
that the , reat and pressinK issue of the
pending CTinr aign upon which the present
Presidential election will turn is the tinnn
cial question, and upon this great ami e
cirie issue between ;h; pnties we cordially
invite the ai I and cooperation of all organ

this vital question.

the iH-mocratic to assume its present
admirable attitude. Your work now
promises much to mankind and is
about to break forth in complete vic
tory for the industrial masses. Though
oft repulsed by the multitude, whom
we would have liberated, though cru
cified in return for our kindness, yet
through it all we have steadily confi
ded in the righteousness of our cause
and the final good sense of the people.
We still believe that this nation lias a
mission to perform, which bad men
will not be permitted to destroy, and
recent events indicate that the nine
teenth century is not, after all, to close
with the friends of freedom despond
ent in the Western hemisphere.
"This country has recently witness
ed a new Pentecost and received an
other baptism of fire. The recent con
vention at Chicago sounded a bugle
call for union, which can neither be
misunderstood nor go unheeded. In
its patriotic utterances and action it
swept away all middle ground and
opened the road to a formidable organic
alliance, lliey not only made union
possible, thank heaven they have ren
dered it inevitable.
"rrom the very beginning our or
ganization has made party fealty sub
ordinate to principle. W e will not
here reverse ourselves and refuse to
accept victory now so easily within
our reach. We will not refuse the
prolfered assistance of at least three
million free silver Democrats and not
less than 1 million fre silver Kepub
licans simply because they have shown
the good sense to come with an organ
iced army fully equipped and manned
for battle. Let them have their own
divisions and army corps. Let them
manifest their own etprit dr corjn. Tin
held of glory is open to all competit
ors who are lighting for the same priu
riples.
'The Populists have already shown
heir prowess in many engagements
during twenty years of struggle, ll
ur allies can strike stunlier blows at
plutocracy than can we, if they can
cale the battlements of the gold

veterans, and are able to plant th-ir

ever) Populist cheer and support them

uarch under the same Hag, keep step

f the present jear. It is between Hie
,n!d standard, gcid bords and bank
i,urrency on the one hand and the bi
metallic standard, no bond and gov
ernment currency on the otht-r. The
people are asked to choose between
enforced idleness, destitution, debt,
bankruptcy and d spair on one sale
and an op-?u door of opportunity undtr
just laws and normal conditions on
i he other. The situation presents the
mightiest civic qutsiion that evercon-
vuiseu a civilized, nation, itie con-
llict can neither be postponed nor;
avoided.
"In the name of the suffering peo
ple I atlirm that this is no time for
dissensions nor party divisions. The
supreme hour for action has arrived.
If we woulu be victorious we must
make a common cause with the con
vention. No other course is either
prudent or desirable. AV'e are not
asked to abandon our party, nor would
it be wise to do so. If it is to be pre
served we will, in my judgment, be
compelled to take the course which I
am about to indicate.
"The silver Democrats have lined up
as an organization. Now let the Pop
ulists, free silver Kepublicans and the
American Silver party do likewise.
For an embattled square impene
trable to the assaults of the confed
erated gold power. After due consid
eration, in wnicn i nave itilly can
vassed every possible phase of the sub
ject, I have failed to find a single good
reason to justify us in placing a third
ticket in the Geld. The exigencies of
the hour imperatively demand that
there shall be out one.
"I would not endorse the distin
guished gentleman at Chicago. I
would nominate him outright and
make him our own, and then share
justly and rrghtfully in his election.
The situation is a striking verification
of the old adage, that "The path of
duty is the path of safety.' Take this
course aim all opposition will practi
cally disappear in the Southern and
Western States, an w e can then turn

THE ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Whereas, The declaration of inde
pendence, as a basis for a republican
form of government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states :
"That all men are created equal, that
they are endowed with certain inalien
able rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
that to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, de
riving their just powers from the con
sent of the governed."
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a re
publican form of government, private
monopolies of public necessities for
speculatives purposes, whether of the
means of production, distribution or
exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity
or utility becomes a monopoly in pri
vate hands, tbe people of the munici
pality, state or union, as the case may
be, shall appropriate the same by right
of eminent domain, paying: a iust
value therefor, and operate them for,
and in the interest of, the whole peo
ple.

safe, sound and flexible; issued by the

means of distribution of this currencv.

the legal ratio of 16 to 1
(b) We demand a graduated income

(r) That our national legislation
shall be so framed in the future as not
to build up one industry at the expense
of another.
(d) We believe that tbe money of
the country should be kept as much as

ana nence we demand that all nation
al and state revenues shall be limited

administered.

at the option of the creditor.
