Tilt* time i. approaching for the
different political parties to meet and
formulate platforms to catch the votes
pf the people,—not to stand on, hut
to try. and get into the otllce on, after
which they have no farther use for
the platform, it is well to be prepared

FINANCE.
We demand a national currency,
and hence we demand all slaie
national revenue shall lie. limited

ment economically administered.
We demand that postal savings
banks lie established bv the govern—

ings of the people, and to facilitate
exchange.
TRANSPORTATION.
Transportation being a means of
exchange and a public necessity, the
government should own and operate
the railroads ia the interest of the peo-
ple.
The telegraph and telephone, like
the postoffice system, being a necessi-
ty for the transmission of news should

ernment in the interest of the peo-
ple.

The land, including all the natural
sources af wealth. Is the heritage of
the people and should not he monop-
