An Appeal to the People of Oregon.
It is now conceded by all impar
tial and observing minds that the
farmers, the mechanics, the wage
workers and the labor organizations
that constitute the bone and sinew
of the ''Great Common People," are
in sympathy with the People's party
and desire the triumph of its prin
ciples. Then it follows as a con
ceded consequence that the State
of Oregon will cast her vote for
Weaver and Fields in the forth-cum-ing
election if these facts are
demonstrated to the people by vot
ing the People's Party ticket they
will not "lose their votes." But in
order to demonstrate these facts so
as to reach and satisfy the whole
people it is absolutely necessary
that the people raise some funds to
defray- the . legitimate expenses of
the campaign.
The finances of the "Great Com
mon People" as a general rule, are
in a very depressed condition; they
can do but little as individuals, but
can effect wonders if they will co
operate together, each contributing
his or her mite. We have no mil
lionaires, bankers, bond holders, land
barons, railroad magnates', money
lords or salaried otticiais to pour
out their treasures to help our
cause, but we have the farmers,
mechanics, and the day laborers to
rely upon in this emergency, who it
is true are poor in purse, but rich
in patriotism and love of justice.
Therefore we confidently appeal to
them for the necessary means in
this hour of need ' to assure a
triumphant victory for the People's
Party November next.
The official count shoivs that the
People's Party cast over 13,000
votes at the last election and we be
lieve we are entitled to a much
larger number ; but the official
count, as it is, would enable us to
raise over $3,200 for a campaign
fund if each voter will contribute
but twenty-five cents. And we do
not believe that there is one who
voted the People's Party ticket but
that can and will give twenty-five
cents to the People s Party cam
paign fund, if he is satisfied that it
will be honest! v and judicious! v
used in the interost of the People's
cause. And as a guarantee that it
will be so used we order that one
thousand or more copies of this ap
peal be printed and that the Chair
man of the State Executive Com
mittee of-the People's Partv, send
to each County Chairman twenty-
five or more copies for distribution
to proper- persons -in every neigh
borhood in his county, and each
week . in each neighborhood,- the
money collected shall be sent to the
county chairman, who shall re
port all the money received to the
Treasurer of the .State Executive
Committee of the People's Party,
remitting - one-half -of the money
each week to said Treasurer of the
State Executive Committee, 'and
the other half to the Treasurer of
the County Executive Committee,
to be used as a county 'campaign
fund of the People's Party.
. ..In view, of the momentous issues
involved and the great victory that
awaits us, we have every reason to
expect the conditions of this call to
be promptly complied with by the
"Great Common People of Oregon."

PARTY. DISCIPLINE.
M Is Needed, but Must Not Re Corrwpt,
ms with the Dvmo-Rpubllcana. .
Ouo of tbo important elements in all
successful undertakings lies in a conti
nuity of purpose." Tliis factor is developed
and kept an active force through disci
pline more easily than by any otliet
means. To bo successful politically,
practical politics must of necessity b
brought into constant service. Honesty
if purpose and purity of motives will
count for nothing if misdirected, and the
beautiful theory of nltimate triumph of
truth fades Hie tho morning dew when
confronted with hard headed business
politics. Tho People's party in respect
to discipline have scarcely loamed the
rudiments, and many of its members
have much to ondure before they will
become efficient and trustworthy. If it
be true that there is "policy in war,"
bow much greater is the necessity for
policy in politics?
This term policy has a double mean
ing; cue of which is a settled and dis
tinctive purpose, tho other, wisdom
sufficient to avoid needless aud profitless
entanglements. In ordor to make this
term of any practical benefit in politics
it must be backed up by a discipline
that will force members to work not
only in tho face of defeat, but many
times against their own individual
judgment. It is all epitomized ia the
single act of submitting quietly and
loyally to the dictates of the majority.
The People's party must be thoroughly
organized, then thoroughly drilled, ard
then it will march on to victory, provid
ing it stands for the rights of tho peo
ple and does not forget its origin or
original purpose.
It is simple folly to expect that a com
mon bond of union, brought about,
though it may be, through cmmon suf
fering, will hold the Peoplo's party in
tact. It cannot, and to depend on it
will court disaster. It is not necessary
to imitate the corrupt and despicable
methods of the old parties. No, indeed!
But it is necessary to have a concert of
action, a unity of purpose and a general
consent to abide by the decree of the
majority. In fact the idea of consider
ing a just cause suCicicnt reason for it
triumph i an "iridescent dream" that
ends with the awakening.
Tho People's party will be similar tc
the old parties in many respects if it
ever succeeds. It will have an organi
ration intact and complete. It will be
disciplined and taught its dntiea. It
will take advantage of the mistakes ot
its opponents and make the most of
ni i
favorable opportunities. It will care foi
its own and defend each other. But it
must differ also in many essentials.
Instead of seeking to deceive and mis
lead it must be truthful, candid and
outspoken. Instead of" appealing to the
baser passions and prejudices, it muni
call for careful, intelligent investiga
tion aud an unbiased judgment. Instead
of working for the spoils- and emolu
ments of ofllcc, let the good of the whole
people and happier conditions for the
race be the chief object. Instead of
making the law creating power an en
gine of economic destruction, let it be
mode a medium for better and more
equitable legislation, and instead of hav
ing congress a den of thieves, specula
tors aud boodlers make it a borne for
the servants of the people in all that this
term implies. In these and in other re
spects this new party must and will dif
fer from the old, if it would live and
grow in the future.
There ia cce other matter in connec
tion with this that is of the utmost im
portance. It has always been the rule
for those who took an active part in re
form movements to pauperize them
selves in their efforts. This has become
so universal that the credit of every one
is materially injured by taking a prom
inent position in these reforms, or even
associating with reformers. Never, un
til this condition is changed, and those
who cannot do this work are willing to
contribute reasonable remuneration for
such services, will the caueof reform
prosper. This unfair condition must be
changed, and those who labor ninst re
ceive an equitablo reward. Taken as a
whole, there are many things for tlie
People's party to learn that only come
through discipline, and the sooner .this
fact is recognized, the sooner a new and
better svstem of laws will bless the na
tion. National Watchman.

PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM
A Terse aad Comprehensive Declaration
; of Vital Principles.
; The People's party assembled in n v
tioual convention at Omaha on July 4,
1893, nominated James Baird Weaver,
of Iowa, and James Gavcn Fields, of
Virginia, for president and vice presi
dent of the United States respectively,
and adopted as its preamble and plat
form the following: j
Assembled uiion the 116(h anniversary of
tho Declaration of Independence the People's
party of -America, In tbolr first national con
vention. Invoking upou their action the Mess
Jng of Almighty Urxl. pats forth, in the nam
and on behalf of tha ncopluof this country, th
following preamble and declaration of princl.
pics:
The conditions anrreuudlng us best Justify our
co-operation; we meet in the mldat of a nation
brongbt to the vergo of moral, political and
material ruin. Corruption doinlnalo the bal
lot box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches oven the ermine of tho bench. The
people are demoralized; moat of the elates
have been compelled to Isolate the voters at
tho polling places to prevent universal intimi
dation or bribery. The newspapers are large
ly subsidized or muzzled; public opinion si
lenced; business prostrated; our homes cov
ered with mortgages; labor impoverished and
tho land concontratlng in the bands of tbo
capitalists. The urban workmen are denied
tha right of organization for self protection;
Imported pauperized labor beats down their
wages; a hireling standing army, unrecog
nized by our laws. Is established to shoot them
down, and tbey are rapidly degcncrallug Into
European conditions. The fruits of the toll of
millions are boldly stolen to build np colossal
fortunes for a-few. unprecedented In the his
tory of mankind; and the possessors of these,
in turn, deapiso tho republic and endanger
liberty. From the sains proline womb of the
governmental Injustice webrrodlh two great.
classes trampa and millionaire.
The national power to create money la ap
propriated to enrich liondhnldcr; a vast public
debt, payablo in legal tender currency, has
been funded Into gold bearing bonds, t hereby
adding millions to the burdens of the people.
Silver, which has boon accepted aa euin hi nee
the dawn of hia'.ory. has been demonetized In
add to th purchasing ponerof gold by de
creasing tho value of all forms of property to,
well ss human labor, and tho supply of cur.
rency Is purposely abridged to fatten uurpera,
bankrupt enterprises and enslave Industry.
A vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized ou the two continents, and It Is
rapidly taking rossesaion of tbe world. If not
met and overthrown at once It forebodes ler
riblo social cnnvuUions. the destruction of
civilization or the establishment of an absolute
' despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a quarter
of a century the struggles of two great politi
cal parties for power and plunder, w Itlle griev
ous wroegs bars been Inflicted on tbe suffer
ing poor. We charge that tbe controlling
Influence dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious effort to prevent or
restrain them. Neither do they now promise
na any aubataatlal reform. They hav agreed
together to ignore In tbo coming campaign
I every Issue but one. Tbey propose, to drown
th outcries of a plundered prop! with th
uproar of a sham batll over the tartrr. so that
capitalists. corporations. -national bank, rings.
trusts, watered stock, the demonetization of
silver and tbo oppressions of th ururors may
al! be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes, lives and children on the altar cf
Mammon: to destroy the multitude In order
to secure corruption funds from the millioo-
aire.
Assemblcd on tbo anniversary of tho birth
day of th nation, aad filled with the spirit of
the grand generation a ho established our Inde
pendence, wo seek to restore th government
of the republic to the hands of "the plain poo-
pic." with which class it originated.
o assert our purpose to bo Idem teal wit b
lh purpusesof th national constitution to
form a more perfect Lnion. establish Jctiice,
insure domestic tranquillity, provide far the
common dcfnc promot tho general welfar
and aerur th oleasingsof liberty laroursaive
and our posterity.
V, dcclsrv that this republic can only en
dure as a free government while built upon the
love of th w hole people for each other aad for
lb nation: It cannot b pinned together 4y
bayonets: that the civil wsr isover.aad that
every passion sod resentment which grew out
rf it must die with it. and that w must be In
fact, as w are ia cam, the united brolhcr
hoisi of fre men.
Our country finds Itself confronted by condi
tions for which there is no precedent ia lh
history of th worlu: oar anneal agricultural
productions amount to billions of dollars in
value, which must within a few wests or
month be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production;
the ecisting currency supply Is wholly Inade
quate to msk this exchange; th results are
falling prices, the formation of combine and
ringx and tho Impoverishment of the pro
ducing clas. We pledge ourselves that if
given power we will labor to correct the evils
by wis and reasonable legislal Ion; ia accord'
anr with the term of our platform.
V believe that th powrs of government
in other words, of th people should b ex
pended as In the case of th postal service) a
rapidly and as far as the good sense of an In
telligent people and th teachings of expe
rience shall Justify, to tho end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall erar-luelly ceaso In
th land.
V. LIlo our sympathies as a party of reform
are naturally npon the eld of every proposi
tion which will tend to msk mro intelligent,
virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re
gard these questions Important a they
as secondary to tb great issues now pressing
for solution, and npon which not only our in
dividual property but th very existence of
tree Institutions depend: an, w ask all men
to first help us to determine whether we ar to
aav a republic to administer before we differ
as to tbe conditions upon which it Is te be ad
ministered, believing that the force of reform
this dsy organized will eover ceas to move
forward until every wrong Is remedied and
equal rights and equal privilege securely a-
tablished for ail tb mea aad women of this
country.
VN e declare, therefore
That the union of the labor forces of the
United State this day consummated shall
bo permanent and perpetual may its spirit
enter Into all hearts, salvation of the republlo
and th uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs In him who creates It, and
every dolla taken from Industry without an
equivalent is robbery. "If any man will not
work neither shall he eat." Th interests of
rural and civic labor ar th same: their ene
mies are identical.
We believe that the time baa come when
the railroad corporations will either own the
peoplo or th people must own tho railroads,
and should tbe government enter upon the
work of owning and managing any and all
railroads we should favor aa amendment to
tbe constitution by which all persons en-
gaced In th government scrvtc shall b
placed under a civil service regulation of the
most rigid character, so as to prevent the In
crease of the power of the national adminis
tration by the nse of such additional govsro
mtmt employees.
We demand a nalloual eurrency, safe. sound
and flexible, issued by tho general government
only, a full legal tender for all debts, publla
and private, and that without the use of bauk
log corporations, a just, equitablo aad efficient
means of distribution, direct to the people, at
a tax not to exceed 1 percent, per annum, to
be provided, aa sot forth in the subtrees ury
plan of the Farmers' Alllanne. or sotuo betCc'r
system: also by payments In discharge of it
obligations for publlo improvement
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
16 to I.
We demand that tbe amount of the circulat
ing mesium be speedily increased te not leas
than fifty dollars pr capita. ; "
We demand a graduated Income tax.
We believe that the monara of the oountry
should be kept as much aa possible In the
bands of tbe people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
lira I ted to the necessary cx penses. economically
and bonsat'y administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es
tablished by the government for the safe de
posit of the earnings of the people, and to facili
