1 - Platform Plauks.
First We demand a national currenrv. safe.
sound and flexible, issued by tbe general gov-
jtramcnt only, a full lent tender for all debts,
public aad prints ; and that without tbe use ol
banklne corporations, a just, equitable and ef-
Bctent means of distribution direct to tbe peo
ple, at a tax not exceeding- 9 pur cent, be pro
vided, as set forth in tbe sub treasury plan of
the Farmers' Alliance, or some better system;
.' also by payments in discharge of iu obligations
for public improvements..
- fa We demand free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
lutol. '
(b)'Wa uemsuil that the amount of eirrulat
Irej asc-dlum be speedily Increased to not less
than KO per capita.
to We demand a irraduated income tax.- "
Id) We believe that tbe money of the coun
try should be kept as much as possible in the
. laada of tbe people, and hence we demand that
all s ate and national revenue shall be limited
to the neeersrVy esrrfnm-s of the government
jCODiurtially and boner-tly administered.
i We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for tbe safe de
posit of the earnings of the people and to facili
tate exchange.
- Second Transportation being a means of ex-
and a entile necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroad the in
tereat ox tne people.
- (al The telegraph and telephone, like the
pos to fQce system, befog a recessity for trans
mission of news, should be owned and operated
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 be raonorjojized for specula
tive purposes, and alien ownesshlD of land
should be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs, and all lands now owned bv
liens - should be reclaimed by the goverment

The Grants Pass Observer start

state election, eight pages in size,
all home print and a good deal of
space was devoted to flinging
slurs at the People's Party. But
since the People's Party has scoop
ed in Josephine county, the Ob

it is now a onae-a-week-small-four-page-patent-out-sidc

. The. eastern farmer who comes to
Oregon with means to buy honestly
a home and brings with him the
advanced system of farming pre
valent there can, in our judgement,
easily enhance his means of com
fort by one-half. We have no bliz
zards nor sunstrokes here, but sun
shine and moisture, the two ele
ments of nature which produce the
largest possible wealth in vegeta
tion, add to these science and the
sum total of agricultural perfection
will bp reached. We have excel
lent facilities for schools, churchef,
telegraphs, railroads and all other
appliances of modpm civilization,
but a dense population, up to a
certain limit, means better schools
and cliurpbes and especially dqes it
mean better roads.

The uprising at Homestead has
attracted the attention of the coun
try to the causes which operated in
precipitating the .disturbance, and
the. facts in time are likely to. be
fully developed. If the distur
bance which has alarmed the
country has been rendered possible
by the defects of an economic sys
tem which the American people
have sustained under, the impress
ion that the policy, receiving their
indorsement is favorable to labor,
it is none too early to make that
fallacy apparent. The incident is
certain to encourage a more serious
and earnest search for the causes'
which tend to breed discord be
tween capital and labor,, and ulti
mate benefit must inevitably result
from such an investigation.
The People s party means to
abolish all class privileges, and to
erase all sectional lines. As to-day
it knows no north, no south, so it

The Atlanta Constitution, a
noted democratiu- paper, says' edi
torially: "If the House of Representatives,
with one hundred and thirty dem
ocratic majority, shelves the silver
bill passed by the cenatc, aided
by a democratic speaker who could
not have been elected but by the
friends of free coinage of silver, it
will be'thft most serious blow the
party has received from the present
House, and it must be admitted
they have reoeived some severe
licks since December. It is a dis
grace .o see how Tom Reed bullies
the present House, and there
seems to be no man to take him
down. If lor no reason whv not let
President Harrison veto the bill?
The truth is, that nothing but the
basest kind of corruption will pre
vent the passage of the bill, and
strange to say, more men believe
that it will be pigeon-holed than
believe it will pass the Houso. A

Tho bill was not pigeon-holed,

and was empbatipaljy defeated.

The meau temperaturo hns ranged
from 60 to "0 dcjjxecs, which is from
three to five degrees a day below the
average. Tbe weuther has been
partly cloudy and tho average sun
shino bus not prevailed, bhowers oc
cured on the 15th and gcnoral rains
on the luth, except in parts of Jack'

amounts ot rainfull are, Clalbou couutv
.S3, Multnomah county .57, Marion
county Douclas county .27, Jom-
plane county .11, northern Jackson
county from a sprinkle to .03 of an
inch.
The rain was of ercat boneQt. cspecl
ally to lute sown grain; to corn and
rarden truck, while in portions of tbe
coafct counties it did some damage to
hay. A continuation of the present
weather wiil prove of great value to
tbd late sewn crain. Early sown
wheat is being hr.rrostcd and it is gen
erally turning out better than was ex
pected, though it is not up to last
year's crop and it is aUo not 'quite up
to the average.
Tho outs crop is just b?ginlug to be
cut lo a few localities, but it too is net
an average.
The wheat crop of 1831, la tho coun
ties west of the Cascades, amounted to
eight aud oce-half million bushels and
the crop this year will be about from
15 to 'JO per c-nt leas than last year,
unless it should turn out far beyond
what it at present indicates.
Haying it about over and a good crop
has ben secured.
Hops are not promising extra well;
they have not the growth that ihcy
sbould have. The lice ar present
and dovelop under the present weather
conditions, but so far no damags has
been done.
The lirt-t shipment of p-achcj was

has boen an excess of cloudiness. On

of tbe Blue mountains. On tho 11th a

injured gardens.
linrvest is in progress in all of the
Columbia river valiy counties. The
grain is yielding better than was ex
pected, though not up to tho average.
La to grain was greatly benefited by
rains. The gruin crop in 1S91. in the
counties cast of the Cascades, amount

the crop will bj from 25 to S3 per ceut

Corn is doing very well, though
would have bettor growth with war

FOB PURE FOOD.
Laudable Aclien by Boards of Hoa'.th
TJpon th Baklujt Powdsj Queation.
Boards of Health can engage in
no more commendablo action than
the examination of our food sup
ply and the instruction of the pub
lic as to those articles which ore
found to be pure and wholesome,
and which therefore consumers
should use. .
Action of this kind with the bak
ing powders is particularly oppor
tune. There are quantities of bak
ing powders in tho market to use
which is certain detriment to the
health of the consumer. They are
made from alum, or improperly
compounded from other' chemicals
so that they, leave a strong nlka
line residuum in the food. Many
of the powders; having proved
unsalable in tho East, have been
collected by their manufacturers
from the dealers with whom they
were loft v on commission, and
shipped to the Pacific Coast. In
tho effort to gnina foot-hold in this
market unscrupulous manufactur
ers of these cheaply made, low
grade baking powders have in
dulged in extravagant statements
both with reference to their own
and other brands, claiming tho
most improbable endorsements for
theirs, and defaming the brands
best known and longest used upon
the Pacific coast.
The following extracts from the
reports of some of our well-know
health authorities will be of par
ticular interest:
The State Chemist of Washing

"There i?, therefore, no question

The Tacoma Board of Health
says: "Jn our judgement, the
Royal is the best and strongest
baking powder before the public.
We confidently recommend it
because of its purity and caro of
preparation."
The Spokane City Board of
Health report: "There is cer
tainly no baking powder known to
us equal to the Royal for strength
and uniform quality, and we recom
mend it for its absolute purity and
