v3 PROHIBITION PLATFORM., -. The Prohibition party, in National Con rention assembled, acknowledging Al mighty God as the source of all power in government, do hereby declare: 1. That themanfactxire, -importation, exports 1 ion, t transportation and sale of alcohols beverages should be made public crimes, and prohibited as such. 2. That such prohibition must be se cured through amendments to our Nation al and Stat Consitutions, enforced by adequate - laws adequately supported by administrative authority; and to this end the organization of the Prohibition party is imperatively demanded in State and ; Nation, :::y": - .;..-V- i''"-; l: 3 . That any form of license, or regulation of the liquor traffic is contrary to good government; that any party . which sup ports regulation, lieense or taxation enters into alliance with such traffic and be comes th actual foe of the State's welfare, - and that we arraign the .Republican and Democratic parties for their persistent attitude in favor of th license iniquity, whereby they oDpose the demand of th people for prohibition, : ad, through open complicity with the liquer crime, defeat the enforcement of law. 4. J? or tne lmmeaiaie auouuuu - uie ui . i x ... i. -u . , , inieriiai revenue system, vwviovj ., uui national government is deriving support from pur greatest national vice. :v. i. - 5. That an . adequatepublic nTnae being necessary, it may properly be raised by import duties; but import duties should b so reduced - that no surplus shall be , accumulated in th Treasury, and that the burdens of . taxation shall be removed . from foods, clothing, and. other comforts and necessaries of life, and imposed on Bucn articles oi import as will give pro tection botn to tne manufacturing employ er, and producing r laborer against the competition of the world. 6. That the right of suffrage rests on no mere circumstance of race, color, sex.- or nationality, and that where; from any cause, it has been withheld from citizens who are of suitable age, and mentally and morally qualified for the exercise of an ..intelligent ballot, it should be restored by the people through the legislatures of the several States, on such educational basis as they may deem .wise. 7. That civil service appointments for all civil offices., chiefly clerical in their duties, ' should be based upon, moral, intellectual, and physical qualifications, and not upon party service or party necessity. ; 8. For the abolition of polygamy and the establishment of uniform laws govern ing marriage and divorce. 9. For prohibiting all combinations of capital to control and to increase the oost of products for popular consumption. 10. For the preservation and defense of the Sabbath as a civil insitution, without oppressing any who religiously observe the same on any other than the first day of the week. ll That arbitration is the Christian, wise and economical method of settling national differences, and thefsame method snouia, Dy judicious legislation, oe applied to the settlement of disputes between large bodies of employes and their em ployers; that the abolition of th saloon would remove the burdens moral, physical, pecuniary and social, which now oppress labor and rob it of its earnings, and would prove to be a wise and successful way of promoting labor- reform,-and we invite labor and capital to unite with us for the accomplishment thereof; that monopoly in land is a wrong to the people, and the public lands should be reserved to actual settlers; and that men and women should receive equal wages fr equal work. 12. That our immigration laws should be so enforced as to prevent the introduc tion into our country of all convicts, in mates of other dependent institutions; and others physically incapacitated for self sup port, and that no person should have the ballot in any State who is not a citizen of the United' States. " 18.;. Recognizing t and declaring ; that prohibition of the liquor traffic has become the dominant issueu-ationaL.PQlitics, we invite to full party fellowship all those" who, on this one dominant issue, are with us agreed, in the full belief that this party can and will remove sectional differences, promote national unity and insure the best welfare of our entir land. - ( 1 Bonfort'8 Wine and Spirit Circular This fact of the human inclination of the rudest savage arid the pro foundest philosopher alike to seek happiness- seems to have been left entirely out of view by- the learned gentlemen who contributed to the symposium called "Prohibitiory Law and Personal Liberty" in the August number of the North American Re view. I If the glass of whisky that Patrick takes at the corner in the eYemng on his way from work were not one of the objects oi nis days labor:' if the few glasses of beer 4 that nans anai5etty count on enjoying with the children on Sunday after noon were not often looked forward to during the woek's stead f work; if the tired i lawyer " did not not see from time to time through the stifl ing air of the court-room his cheery glass of red wine laughing on the dinner-table; if, in short, the con sumption of alcoholic stimulants : in some form did not make up a large nart nf Via ; rdeasnre -of civilized man then the . preaching of these worthy gentlemen might be of some! avail. But as7 the world is constitnced thev have addressed themselves to the wrong audience. Demosthenes, the Grecian orator, cured his stammering by having ais mouth full of pebbles, ; and many are the modern orators who have cured their hoarseness by an occasional dose of Dr. Bull's Cough Byrup.
