The platform adopted was as follews:
THE PLATFORM.
The 'Prohibition party of Pennsylvania
by its representatives in convention as
sembled acknowledges Almighty Ged aa
the source of all power and authority in
human government and, invoking His
divine help in its effort for the abolition of
the drink t raffle, declares :
First. That the traffic in intoxicating
liquors is the prolifle cause of crime and
lawlessness the chief agency in the cor
ruption of tbe ballet, legislation, and the
administration of tbe law. the desecration
of the Sabbath, and ally of all com
binations and associations that fester
and encourage Idleness, immorality, vice
and crime, and, as such, is antagonistic te
the virtue and sobriety of the people, the
purity of homes, and the perpetuity of our
government. Its toleration isacenttuued
meuace te American institutions, and
should be prohibited by laws faithfully en
forced. Second. We are unalterably opposed te
any law, by whatsoever name called, that
In any way legalizes, authorizes or tolerates
tue trame in intoxicating liquors as a uev
cragc, and maintain that the policy of the
government should be that of prohibition
of its manufacture, importation and sale
by national and state statutory and consti
tutional enactments, faithfully enforced, te
which policy the Prohibition party is un
compromisingly committed.
Third. The Sabbath must be preserved
by the due enforcement of existing laws,
and the speedy enactment of such addi
tional legislation as may be necessary te
lnsure its due observance.
Fourth. That we enderse the platform of
the national Prohibition party, adopted at
Indianapolis, May 30, 1SS8.
Filth. That a pure ballet and a fair ceuut
are nccessnry te insure the perpetuity of
our system of government, and men who
sell tneir votes, or men who, directly or
indirectly, buv votes should be forever dis
franchised. We favor the " Australian
system " of voting as a means te insure a
fair expression of the will of ..the people at
the ballet box.
Sixth. That all citizens, without distinc
tion of sex, race or nationality, should have
the power of the ballet (upon such educa
tional basis as the Legislature may deem
wlse) for their protection and the advance
ment of the best interests of tbe state.
Seventh. That, owing te the increased
Immigration from foreign countries of poo peo poe
plsw he de net understand tbe principles
of our governmont, and their tendency te
substltute European Ideas and customs for
the well-grounded principle en which our
government Is founded, the naturalization
Taws should be se amended as te increase
the number of years' rosldence required
before foreigners should be ln estcu with
the olectlve franchise.
Eighth. That our Immigration laws pre
venting the importation of citizens of for
eign countries under any system of
contract, and prohibiting the landing of
paupers and criminals under any pretense
should be enforced.
Ninth. That combinations or trusts that
seek te advance the prlce ofcemmodltlcsof
llfe or in any wav te intorfero with the un
restricted innntifactiirinR Interests of our
country bv forced "close-downs," "lock
outs," etc., shenld be prohibited.
Tenth. That labor Is entltled te full and
fair compensation and protection. That
the liquor traffic Is the greatesl enemy the
woge earners have te contend with, brood breed
ing strlfe and discord between the employ
ed and employer! consuming the hard
earned money of the tellers without re
turning ou equivalent ; destroying their
homes, and. in manv eases, pieduclng riot
and bloodshed in the settling of disputes
that should be settled by arbitration, w hlch
is the true method feradjusting diflercnccs
bctw con employer and employed. Its pro
hibition will ensure belter wages te the
employed, larger profits te the employer,
steady work, money in the pocket, peace,
happiness and contentment in the homes,
the surest preventives of strikes and lock
outs. Eloventh. That the defeat ofthe consti
tutional amendment en the 18th of June,
IbSO, was secured through the support
gi en te the advocates of the legalization of
the liquor trrffie by the leaders and leading
newspapers of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. That the suppression of the
liquor tiaffic is the dominant political Usue
ofthe times, the Democratic party having,
for mero than 30 y ears, supported the legali
zation of the liquor traffic by llcense laws,
and the Republican part)', at its late state
convention, having adopted a Hke policy,
which has received the approval of the
various liquor Interests, and the Prohibi
tion paity having, from Its organization,
declared for the prohibition of the liquor
traffic by statutory and constitutional en
actments duly enforced as the true policy
of the state towards the same, the issue is
thus clcaily defined. Te llcense, legalize
ana perpetuate being tne policy ei me itc
publlcau and Democratic arties, while
ptehlbitlug and outlawing Is the policy of
the Prohibition party, making It easy for
the voter te take sldes and by his ballet
declare for or against this traffic. Te this
end all geed citizens of whatsoever previ
ous tally affiliation, who favor the aboli
tion of the drink traffic by legislative and
constitutional onactments, and who are
with us agreed en the dominant issue of
prohibition, are cordially Invited te unite
with the Prohibition party for the entire
abolition of the liquor traffic.
The roi)ert, including two supplemen
tary resolutions, as fellows, was adopted
with cheers :
Jtcaelrcd, We hereby heartily enderse
the Junier prohibition movement, and we
appeal te the young peeple of this state te
lay iisiuc uiu jirejuuiuca ui utiu in-mi-n, mm
te identify themselves In their youth w lth
the new issiie of prohibition.
JlcseUcJ, That we rcgaid the conduct of
the state sinking fund commission in soil
ing $l,000,0u0 worth of interest-bearing
government bends and distributing the
proceeds among favored banks which pay
no interest, us a plccoef gross mismanage
ment if net a breach of trust, and a viola
tion of the Humes law directing the in
vestment of such moneys in state or na
tional securities.
The resolutions wcre adopted as a whole,
with cheers, but there was ene vete in o e o
Kisitlen, apparently from a delegate who
wanted them acted en separately.
The new state committee sclected its
chairman. A. A. Stevens, of lllair;

Prof. II. 1). Patten, of Lucrue, were
nominated for chairman. James Illack

He thought he had made all the sacrifices
I that could have been reasonably asked from
I htm. Resides, he mid, there was an ovi evi
I dent desire for a change. Mr. Stevens, who
formerly held the iositien, and has been
practically chairman dining the hut year,
I owing te Mr. Marker's age and illness, was
. elected, receiving 39 votes, Mr. Kauflman
I 30, and Mr. Patten SI. A. A. Rarkcr, of

VETERANS PROTEST.
A Vision or Universal Pensions, n Re
buke Fer Unesey and General
Sherman's Last Speech.
In his address' te the delegates of the
Grand Army, at Milwaukee, en Wednes
day, Cemmander Warner said :
" The greatest gain in our organization
during the year has been in tbe department
of Missouri. Eight departments show a
gain in membership in geed standing of
15,821, distributed as follews: Illinois,
1,383 ; Iowa, 1,413 : Nebraska, 1,700 ; Penn
sylvania, 1,740; New Yerk, 1,005; Ohie,
2j003 j Wisconsin, 2,023, and Missouri, 3,6.
The net gain in mombershlp during tbe
year (in geed standing) was 21,431. The
membership was 410,680."
He concluded with a reforciice te pen
sions. He urged unity of action and mu
tual concessions in efforts te secure favor
able legislation en the subject, and said
that the demands of the O. A. R. should
be reasonable and consistent.
" If we are true te ourselves before the
next encampment, " he said, " every com
rade disabled by age. sickness oraccldent
and tbe widows and orphans of veterans
will be borne en the pension roll. We
should neither give sleep te our eyes nor
slumber te our eyelids until Justice Is done
our comrades. The service pension will
ceme. The day Is net fat distant when an
honorable discharge from the Union army
or navy shall be all the evldonce required
te aecure a pension te its holder.
"Let these who luvclgh against pensions
remember that it was the boys in blue
who by thir trials, sufferings and death,
boqueathed te them the legacy of liberty
and union, insuring te thorn and their
children the blessings of free institutions
under which they enjoy a greater pros
perity, a larger llberty, a higher civiliza
tion and a purer Christianity than ever be bo be
fere enjoyed by a people"
This vision of universal pensions was
applauded te tbe echo, and the professional
old soldiers in the hall, the especial adho adhe
rents of Tauner, exchanged triumphant
leeks.
Before the close of the morning sosslen
something of a sensation was created when
General MoMahen, of New Yerk, arose and
ettered a resolution which had been unan
imously adopted by the dolegatos from
that state. It declared that the Grand
Army was composed of men who after
honorable service In the cause of the
country had been honorably discharged
from further servlce in the army and the
navy of the United States ; that they wcre
zealous for Its glory and the geed name of
its surviving comrades, as well as mindful
of the honor due te the memery of the dead,
and that the encampment thorefero pro
tested against any construction of existing
laws which would plnce en the ponslen rolls
men dishonorably discharged from the ser
vice. The resolution was greoted with ap
plause, but under the rules it went te the
commltteo without debate
Sherman Makes Ills Last Speech.
About two hundred reglmental rounleus
wero held lu Mllwaukoe en Wednesday
afternoon. About 25.000 peeple gathered
at the National Soldlers' Heme ler Dis
abled Veterans, where the men passed in
review before Gencral Sherman and party.
General Sherman was received with Im Im
mense enthusiasm and made a brief sneech,
which, as he says, Is the last he will ever
make, Gen. Sherman said :
" Reys, my speaking days are evor. I
am net going te make any mero speeches.
If you want a speech take Senater Slander
son. I think he can make a geed epeech.
I am always glad te see se many soldiers
looking hearty and healthy. I think we can
stand en our legs yet. 1 Hke te see that our
old Unde Sam takes pretty geed care of
these old soldiers. Uncle Sain cannot make
old men young, but he can make young
men Just as geed as you or I evor wero. I
see that Mllwaukoe is full of them,
and they arc coming out of the
bushes evervwhere. If you think you
are the only old soldlers you are mis
taken. There wcre old soldlers before you,
and there will be again. Such Is the prov
idence of the world. Just as geed men
wcre bem a thousand years age, nnd will
be born a thousand years hence. All we
have te de Is te de our parts In this short
period of life honorably and honestly. I
think we can jmiss the grand tribunal und
say : ' We have tried te de our best,' and
the sentence will be, 'Well done.' We
have passed through ene crisis of
our country's history. I don't see
any chance of onethor, but nobody
knows the future. Bring up your children
te leve and venerate the old soldlers who
fought lu 1661 and 1SC5, and make them
uncover their heads when they see that
little banner that yen followed In the days
which tried us te the utmost. Let us ven
erate lhatflug and leve our country and
leve each ethor as long as we have heads
en our sheulders and legs en ourbedlos.
Theso old soldiers, who marched against
the enemy In theso trying days, a grateful
country tries Us best te assist, and will, I
think In fact, I am Hiiro be geed te you
when you get tee old, all that is nccessarv.
Rut keep young as long as you can, and de
net go Inte a soldiers' home if you can
helpit."

The excursion of The Yeung Republi

the weather was as fine ns could be expect

of the club, w he did all that was necessary
te work the thing up, that at Ica't ene
thousand pvople would take the trip.
There were many ethers who put the

TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
Thelr Effect Upen Laber Shown lu n
Small Demand Ar Workmen.
Continuation of Wm. L. Wilten's treatise fn
the UalUmere Sun.
As this new power (of trusts) appears In
the Held of production, there Is no section
of the people mero Interested te challenge
it and demand what Its lnfluence Is te be
upon thelr condition and opportunities In
llfe than American laborers.
The president of the whisky trust claimed
great credit for his organization because, as
he alleged, it had voluntarily raised the
price of both barrels and coal, se that It
was possible te pay better wages te the
coopers and miners. He declared that
while net wishing " te pose bofero the pub
lic as bcuofacters," they bellevcd In ''In
telligent co-eporatlon," and being able te
pay geed wages, wero willing in fairness
te de se. His " Intelligent co-operation,"
I fancy, meant co-eporatlon In fleecing the
consumer, and In his complacency he en
tirely forget that his trust was giving em
ployment and fair wages te only enough
miners and coopers te supply the needs of
twelve establishments, aud had entirely
taken away the employment of all who
had previously supplied the slxtv-nlne
that had been closed by the trust. Whero
are the laborers that found employment In
and for the refineries whose ruins mark
the triumphal progress of the Standard oil
trust? or the laborers that wcre ompteyod
lu and for tbe roflnerlos that have bcen
closed and dismantled by the sugar trust 7
They could net be received Inte the ethor
roflnerlos because the very object of closing
tths ie uccroase prouuciieu.
Banishment from Rome had for the citi
zen ofthe early empire the torrersof death
Itself bocause Reme had come te mean
nearly the entire civilized world, and in
Hke manner a discharge from any ene es
tablishment bolenglng te a trust involves
for the wurklngmau almost total less of his
trade or occupation, for ene is all and all is
one. Justin propeitlon.thon. as these com
binations narrow the field of ompleymont
they undermlne theersenal Independence
of tue werklngman and Impair his chances
in llfe, for upon his opportunities
of employment he must largely de-
fiend for power te name or te maintain
ils standard of wages. When Mr. Butter
worth, of Ohie, in the went tarllT do de
bate threw his abilities against the cuuse of
tax reduction, he found hlmself like
Balaam, the son of Boer, who blessed theso
whom he had undertaken te cure, for he
uttered what Is net mere a momentous
truth te the laboring man than n familiar
truth and an aspiration te the revenue re
former "Capital can wait for Its dividend,
but labor cannot wait for Its breakfast.".
Ne deadlier blew ean be struck at wages
than through artificial diminution of em
ployment, and the thousands of laberers
already discharged from employment by
the trusts, and the thousands mere that
would gradually find employment in pro
ducing for a widening market if these or
ganizations looked only te normal profits
aud sought them from (he largest consump
tion, are obliged te crowd into ethor Indus
tries, thus helping both te diminish and te
toepard the wages of all cngsged lu these
industries.
The doed by which the sugar trust wes
created, while studiously general and cau
tious In setting forth thoebjectanrthotrust,
Included among theso stated "te furnish
protection against unlawful combinations
of labor." T no very nstule president ofthe
trust when asked themranlngofthisclause
promptly answered that he would consult
his counsel, aud be guided by his ad vlce
when necessary te dolermlno what "com
binations of labor" wcre "unlawful." It
is net difficult te forecast that a counsel
whose client has a capital of fifty million
dollars and an overflowing treasury, which
might occasionally be swollen rather than
deplcted by the shutting down of a refinery
or two una me cotisequcnt uimiuuiien ei
supply, will be Inclined te find a combina
tion, legal or illegal, as It helps or Injuies
the intoreUs of his client. Ner Is It hard te
see that against such a power the strongest
organization of labor will wage a doubtful
or losing fight.
And thus I think the American laborer
must me that the trust bedes treuble and
degradation for him, and that lu his rela
tions te It It is pre-omluently a monopoly,
wltli all that the name Implles.
But thore is a mero general, subtle and
pervasive oxerclse of the power and action
of a trust in the character of a monopoly
that I must montieu without attempting te
pursue Its manifold end oftentimes secret
mazes.
I have at read veiled the testimony fur
nished by Mr. ltlce, the Independent re
finer, showing that the oil trust net only
attacked him directly by soiling Its oils
below cost in such markets as he'nttemptcd
te enter but Intimidated railroad ceuipa-
uiesund car-coustructteii companies until
they refused him the facilities accorded te
ethers ; nay mere, that the representative
of the St
Standard alliance at Louisville, Ky.,
threatened a firm which venturcu te ie-
ceme the agent and conslgiiceefMr. Rice's
oils in mat city witn a oempoiuion which
will net be confined te coal oil or te any
ene article, and w 111 net be limited te any
ene year."
In this way common carrlers, produce
In ether lndustrleH from whom a cemnctt-
ter may desire te buy, and dealers who
may desire te buy from him, are uiade un
willing te have business relations with
him, through their dread of Incurring the
hostility of such u great and many-headed
combination.
Te all this the organization of the trusts
easily and promptly adapts Itself. Any
given corporation has Its gfliieral powero
marked out and defined by Its charter, and
when It ventures fe oxerclse ether powers
Its acts ere ultra viret and void, and may
Involve forfeiture of It existence.
But a trust, having no such legal or ethor
necessary limitation oritsjwwcrsersphoro
of action, may comblne In Its organization,
which Is gencrally a secret ene, as many
corporations and ns many kl nds or corpora
tions as Its purposes or production, or war
rare, or competition or or clandestine In In
trlgue may require.
Charters are obtainable under general
laws In many orthe states by merely tiling
In the proper efllce artlcles or agreement
and paying a small feo ferthem. Hcncn
the managers or a trust can at any tlme
form new corporations, subsidiary te fielr
main organization, for the sliurle purjiose
of crushing a troublesemo rival or of
wrecking or terrorizing seme remote hut
necessary producer or customers of that
rival, or for the sole purpose of making
seme special contract, or of rerelvlng, It
may be, seme railroad rebate, uotallewnd
livlaw te bn dtrnctlv made or uruntcd.
The connection or such corxratten with
the trust may net be miM.uptible or legal
proof, nor even suspected by the public
may Indoed be unknown te any but the
Inmost clrcle of managers yet It can be
clothed, at ence, with ull the power of the
cntlre combination, for accomplishing the
purposes for which theso inanogersbavo
called It into being. It may be likened te
a squadron of light cavalry, secretly en
listed in the servlce orthe trust, but net
wearing Its uniform or marching under its
colors, that can be used elther far a direct
assault upon a presumptuous opponent, or
for cutting his line or supplies or or com
munications, at a point se remote und un
guarded that he may novel' suspect the
true soiirce or tue mysterious mew mat
has disabled or prostrated him at the very
tlme that he felt hlniHelf safest aud
strenircsl
We liuve new considered the trust iu its
four most Unertaut and best-known rela
tions, but I cannot dismiss this part of my
subject without dwelling still further ou
the quality of the trust Just referred te.
I mean Its secrecy. Net only are the pro
ceedings ofthe trustees or managers secret,
they are gencrally also without record.
Their method of managing the luimciise
interests they control seems based iiien
thoudviceor Tallyrand, "Never write."
When the Standard oil Oust was under
investigation by the coiiimitiee el the New New
Yerk Senate, although It had been In
operation under the trust organization for
six years, end had meantime doubled the
value of Its capital, thn record or the pro
ceedings of the trustees covered only some
sixty pages of an ordinary book, and was
absolutely destitute of any minute of the
real business of thu trustees during ull that
time. Its entries wero of the most formal
nnd tiivisl nature, being frequently con
lined te the record, that the minutes of the
lust ufcetlug was read and opposed, but the
minutes thcmscles were net. entered.
I h;i e already stated that. the "beard of
trustees " of the migar trust net only kept
no minutes, but at the tlme of the con cen con
greskieual lu ycitigatlcu hail ue utd pUce
of meeting. They met Informally, at the
office of one or another member of the
beard,and had no minutes te keep, because
as Mr. Havemyer sald.they never took any
votes but Just " felt each ether."
Every individual corporation, of course,
keeps Its own books, but it books would
threw no light whatever en tbe doings of
Uie combination. The great central dl dl dl
rocterv who wield the power of all the
corporation because they held all their
stock and rcc.lve all thelr dividends and
profits, meet, consult aud plau, and
" departing leave behind thorn " no " foot
prints" te indicate te any ene what these
plans are. There ts immense power In
mystery. It Is this power that adds might
and terror te the operations of the trust,
and I cannot better rlose this paper than
by quoting a wholesomo and timely truth
from Mr. Henhnin's book en " Industrial
Liberty."
" The cltlzen In a free state must be able
te feel that he can embark in Industrial en
terprises without meeting all about him
secret conditions that Interrupt that right.
It is the duty of the state te remove obsta
cles se that he may begin as well as prose
cute his industries freely."
