peelaration of Principles.
While our sympathfas as a party of reform
te naturally upon the side of everv nroDosiiion
wurh will und to make men intelligent, virtu
ous and temperate, we nevertheless reeard
tbsse questions, important as they are. as see.
... 'O idary to the great issues now pressing for so
lution, and upon which not only our intiiviflual
pror.perity.-bui the Very existence of free insti
tutions depeno,T'and wo' ask all men to first
belpa to determine whether we are to ha;"- a
republic to administer before we differ as to the
conditions upon which it is to be administered,
believing that the forces of reform this day or
ganized will never cease to move foFwanl until
every wrong is remedied and eqnal rights and
equal priritexes securely established for all the
men and women of the country. - -
We declare, therefore, -
Fin?T, That the anion of the labor forces of
the United States, this day consummated, stall
be frerman' nt aud perpetual. May its spirit
enter into all hearts tor the salvation of the re
public and the u&iif ting of mankind . .
Second. Wealth belongs to him who creates
it. and every dollar taken from Industry with
out an equivalent is robberv. -If any man will
not work, nejther shalllie eat." The interests
of rnral and civic labor-are the same; their en
emies are identical. "---
Xhird, We believe that the time has come
when the. railroad -eorporatiens will either own
the people or the people must own the railroads ,
snA should the government enter npon the
work o( owning and managing any or all rail
roads we should favor an amendment to the
constitution by wbich all persons enmired In
tbe government service shall be placed under.a
Civil service regulation of the most rigid char
acter, so as to prevent the increase of the power
hi the national administration by the use of
ucb additional government employes.
Platform PUnks- -'.
First We demand a national currsnfy, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the general gov
ernment only, a full legal tender for all debts,
public-arcd private: and that without the use of
banking corporations, a just, equitable and ef
flcienVmeans of distribution direct to the peo
ple, at a tax not exceeding per cent, be pro
vided, as set forth in the sub treasury plan of
the Faraers" Auiance. or some better system:
so sy'paymems in discharge of ip obligations
for public improvements.
ai We demand free and unlimited coinage
at silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
16 to 1. - -
'We demand that the amount of circulat
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than KOper capita.
- )c we demand a graduated income tax.
td We believe that the money of the coun
try should be kept as much ; as possible in the
hands oi th2 people, and hence we demand that
ail S-ote airdatvArat -revenue snail be limited
to the necessrry expenses of the government
gjcriimically and UbnesUy administered. -
e) We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de
posit of the earnings of the people and to facili
tate exchange.
' Second Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity, the government
should own and operate tbe railroads is the in
terest of the people. '' '
(a) The telegraph am) telephone, like the
-"postofflce system, ielns a necessity for trans
mission of news, snould be owned and o periled
by the government in the interest of the people.
- Third The land, including- all the natural re
sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the peo
ple, and should not be monopolized for specula
tive "piurxues. anj alien ownership of land
. should be ntohibiwd. All land now held bv
rjiijroads and' other corporation in excess of
-m:ir actual netun, ana ii lands now prn;a ny
aliens should bo. reclaimed by the govc'SmeYrf
"and held for actual settlers only.
Supplement to the Platform.

THE
ALLIANCE ANL POLI-
: . tics. ; .
It is always a difficult matter to
keep any organization quiet during
a campaign. No matter what its
nature some of the . members feel
that because they happen to think
a pertain way or favor a certain
party thaf all the members should
think and act just as he does.
Politics . are even carried into
churcheB, and the members of a
church th;nk all the male members
should vote for a pertain party or
candidate. AH this is more or less
unfortunate. " Everybody . cannot
think aliltt?, - W e snould not expect
it. ' This paper has repeatedly
made suggestions along this line,
and as the approaching campaign
M
warms up, a good deal of caution-
will be neceesarv.
The number of people who think
the Allianco should become a politi
cal party is email. But there are
quite-a number who think it should
vote solidly with tho ''People's
Party. Still another large crowd
think every Allianceman should
vote the democratic -ticket. Not a
few think the same in regard to the
republican ticket. This feeling is
not confined to Alliance member
ship. .Party papers, speakers and
organizers cling to the idea that
Alliancenembers should vote with
their part'. Thoro are members of
the Alliance who vote nothing but
the democratic ticket. Others will
only vote the republican ticket.
Others want to go to a new party.
We will not attempt to indicate
how. any man shall vote, but tak
ing the constitution as a guide, will
try to define its meaning: Alli
ance membership does not interfere
with your p tlitical or religious views.
That is plain to all. The consti
tution says that partisan politics
must not be discussed in Alliance
meetings. That should be sufli-
cient to keep out all partisanship,
and every president should see to
it that partisan stuff is not brought
in a. meeting. No president who
does his duty will permit it.
- As an educational organization
alliance speakers and organs have
urged its members to stand by
their principles and vote only for
men and parties that- agree to carry
out Ihe same. This is the only
i way they can do and there can be
no reasonable objection to such a
course. If all could thi.ik alike,
naturally all would vote for one
party; but this cannot bo expected,
hence thers should be no quarrel
between members.
The only safe co irss to pursue is
to educate the people, keep them in
formed, and then they are likely to
vote intelligently. Above all things
keep partisanship out of tha order.
Presidents can do this if they will.
They must if they mean to do
right. The euemies of the order
would be glad to see it disrupted
by partisanship. Above all things
they would like to see the alliance
emerge into a party. They would
then have a picnic. It would lose
all that has been gained and would
have no further influence as an ed
ucational organization, ho cool
be conservative. Keep your eyes
open and be ready to uct the best
way at tho proper time. Don't let
partisanship drown out everything

Master vs. Man.
Wallace, Idaho, July 11. The la
bor troubles in Canu- d'Aleno culrain
uted early this morning in a fight at
Gem between the union und non-union
minors, whon a number on both sides
were killed. The ill-fooling existing
between tho two factions wsih incrcas d
when, Sitturdny night, non-union men
caina to Gem. became intoxicated and
Cot into a tight with union men und
wera badly hurt. A friend of a non
union man thou took up the right, and
ho, too, was quite seriously injurod.
From this atTair pen hostilities began
between the union and non-union men.
About 1(H) union miners from Mullnu
und about 10J from Burlce went down
to Gem and surrounded thj town.
They wer J nearly all armed. Tho ex
citement was intense. Most of the
women at;d children wore wnt to
Fturke and Wallace lust night. Both
tho Gem and Frisco mines were gunrd-
ed by m mi behind barricades, armed
with W inchestera, and as tho canon
is narrow where the mines are located,
thti men behind tho barricades could
sweep tho two ruilaoad trneks and
county road with bullets. The Gem
mine is within 30".) fct of the center ol
the town of Gem. This morning ufior
" o'clock a miner from Gem started for
Burke, and when opKitj tho Frisco
mine he was fired upon, lie ran buck
to Gem, several huudred yards, where
tho shot was heard, and soon tha min
ers in town gathered with arms. They
marched in a body toward tho Frisco
mill, loetiti'd directly in front of the
mino. WtK-11 scarcely within ritVj
ra-.ig-j a volley from t! Frisco
mill greeted the 'miner und Knd
whistled nil ubout them. They scat
tered and a regular batilo ensuod.
A TKKKIULE nXTLOSION
The union miners in th-i meantime
surrounded tho hills in the canyon
ubovo the mine, loaded a Uuion Paci
fic car with 7o0 pounds of giant pow
der, and si-nt the car down tha t reck
toward tho Frisco mill. Directly in
f.oat of tha mill tha explosion oc
curred, shatu ring the mill to splinters
and making a complete wreck. The
non-union ra .-n in n surrendered.
Thv were marched down to the Min
ers union hall and guard-d. o lu-dignitit-d
wore offered after the sur
render. While the Gght was going on
at th FrUeo. the G -m guards sud
denly b.gan firing volley after volley
into the town of (?m, riddling tha
buildings with bullets. John vVnrd
was shot through the arm. und Gus

Tlio latc report of thn Minnesota
State Kixxl and Pairv Commission'
contains the result of a series of ex
periments made ly Prof. C. W.
I'rew, biato Chemist, to determine
(he strength and keeping qualities
of the various baking owders.
1 he report attaches great import
ance to these experiments. isaK
ing powders that vnrv in strength,
or that rendilv lose strength before
uso, are unreliable and will not
give even results; besides, it is an
indication of the use of improper
ingredients in their compounding.
Tho tests showed the strength or
leavening power of the IJoyul very
much greater than that of the
others, The infurmity of stwmgth
of ail the samples of Royal tested,
no matter what their ago, was re
markable. Its leavening power
was practically unimpaired even
in the oldest specimens. Tho dif
ference in the amount of leavening
gas in different samples of the
other brands was so great ns to
seriously impair their usefulness in
baking. As much 83 24 per ccut
loss was found in samples n few
months -old. "All the samples of
Iloyal examined by btate Chenitst
Drew were reported of satisfactory
strength and quality.
Dr. Drew states that the "Royal"
being of greater strength than any
other, and possessing better keeping

People of Homestead Satisfied.
New York, July 12. The World
this morning prints a dispatch from
Hugh 0"Donnell. leader of the strikers
ut Homestead, Fa., in which he nays:
"The advent of the troops of the Na
tional Guard is received by the jieoplo
of tiomesteud iu the light "of a vindi
cation of our atiitudo in tho struggle
between ' master and man. The fact
that Governor Pattison chose as
tho timo to call out the troops when
Homestead has never bren quieter,
when the struggle of Wednesday had
left no impreson upon the town save
in desolated homes aad housts where
phvsieians aud nurses arc caring for
our wounded companions, shows that it
was not considered needful to keep
Homestead citizens from breaking the
law by force of arms, but rather that
th j state feels called upon to protect
us in odr rights. Ve believe that the
militia of this great commonwealth is
hero to prevent a rep.-tttioa of last
Wednesday's cowardly attack upon
honest workmen by hired assassins.
Wo welcome the troops, and we are
contMit to await the outcome of our
present trouble under the shield of
Pennsylvania and tho glorious stars
and stripes, as wa await.-d it before.
Our citizens are thoroughly orgauized,
our police forej is strengthened, and
every man of Homestead is a self-constituted
preserver of order and of the
rights of person and property ia our
town."

Lawrence liardner, secretary of the
Democrat ic congressional campaign com

deal of thought, and has made some
significant figures showing the possible
outcome of a chain of circumstances
which might throw tho choice of the
next president into the house of ropro.
sentatives under the operuliou of tho
constitutional provision. To The World
correspondent Mr. Gardner said:
"The third party, composed of the
Fanners' Alliance and niauy other
smaller organizations, the momlwrs hip
of which is largely made n; of agricnl-!
tnrists and laboring men, will hold its
national convention at Omaha pest

able 'to secure the electoral votes of
Kansas, Nebraska. South Dakota, Ten
nessee, South Carolina and West Vir
ginia. This would give an aggregate of
forty-nine votes and would insure abso
lute control of the action of the electoral
college. But even with a smaller number
of electoral votes the third party leaders
w ill be aula to thro w the election into the
house. It is therefore highly important
for us to prepare to meet tbe plans now
being evolved to strengthen and per
petuate an organization which is draw
ing its vote in several states largely
from the Democratic party.
"I have talked with many of the third
party leaders," continued Mr. Gardner,
'aud -am convinced that no fusion either
with tho Democrats or the Republicans
will be possible. It has been suggested
that by a compromise of some sort the Al
liance and its fellow organizations might
be induced V) support the candidate of
one or the other of the two great parties.
It has also been suggested that certain
pledges or concessions might be made to
the leaders of tbe third party to induce
them to direct the casting of such elec
toral votes as they control for the Re
publican or Democratic candidate for
the presidency.
- "From the present political outlook 1
pm satisfied tnat there is no possibility
of a fusion. Under certain circum
stances it might be possible, bat the
third partyites are making a strong fight
for their principles, rather than for im
mediate success, which they realize can
not be attained. If any material advan
tage, such as would justify the leaders
in retiring their own candidates, could
be secured by a coalition. 1 think it
might be effected, but unless positive
pledges were given such an arrangement
would be out of the question. With
Harrison in the field on the Republican
side, and with a certainty that an anti
free silver candidate will be put in the
Eeld by the Democrats, there is no hope
of bringing about a fusion.
"The great issue of the Democratic
party is tariff reform, but. although a
reduction in revenue charges is also part
of the creed of the third party, it is a
secondary consideration with them as
compared with the free silver issue. For
fiee silver the third party will fight as
long as its members can be held" together.
As lietween Harrison and any probable
Democratic candidate there would be
little for the third party leaders to
choose. Tbey would, therefore, cast
such electoral votes as they might secure
Tor their own presidential ticket, and
by preventing either of the other parties
from securing a majorirv of the college
vronld throw the choice of the next pres
ident into the house of icpreseniatives.
