RD PARTY IDEAS. "eople's Convention Leaders Give Out Their Platform TIME TO HAVE IT DIGESTED. iiples of the Old Organizations Bonnced Soundly. De- Op i PLAKS PRESENTED TO TOTEES Uxul, Xeb., June 30. The People's yVill meet in national convention at 'clock Saturday morning. The dele 's are already beginning to arrive and e are indications that the natal day le Republic the Fourth of July will jess the birth of a great political party, 'hich is to be a menace to the old organiza omVhich have so long striven for suprem acy in the nation. There is not the (lightest evidence ot discord in any direo ion, and there seems a general resolve all round to make this convention a harmon 'Us gathering, at which is to be firmly wnented into one symmetrical whole all le heterogeneous elements that co to make o those various political and industrial ders and associations that have heretofore nsed to assimilate into any great politi rganizatlon. t the first day's session the onlybusi 'o be transacted will be the perfecting e temporary organization and the an- .jement of the committees. The rival tical organizations who have hoped that 'eople's party would divide over ques- of principle and not be able to a?ree a a common platform of declarations be surprised to know that the People's y platform is already practically agreed n. Principles of Old Parties Denounced. 'le leaders have been in constant cor oondence for months past, and it is tly agreed that the St, Louis platform February 22 shall be taken as a basis, id that the onlv extraneous matter to re ive consideration will be the denunciation the force bill, the demand lor a broader ciprocity than is offered by the party of 'spnblicanism, and the condemnation of e recent State bank plank adopted at the ational Democratic Convention. The platform which Chairman Taubeneck, the National Executive Committee, has his pocket this evening, and which Mr. eaver, Ignatius Donnellv, Congressman atson, Jerry Simpson and the other lead r spirits of the party agree shall be jpted as the war cry of the coming cam ign, is as follows: "irst We demand a national currency, ce, sound and flexible, issued by the gen ii Government only, a full legal tender -all debts. oab'Jo and nrivate, and that tbout tbe use ST banking corporations, it, equitable and efficient means ot dlstrl tion direct to tlio people, at a not exceeding a per cent, be ovided, as set forth in the sub easnry plan of the Farmers' Alliance or ue better system: also, by payments in charce of its obligations for public lnr ivements. We demand free and unlimlt colnage of silver. We demand that the ount of circulating- medium be speedily teased to not less than $50 per capita. We laud a graduated Income tax. Webelieve t the money of the country should be it as much as possible In tbe hands of the Die, and hence we demand that all State latlonal revenue shall be limited to the sary expenses of the Government mically and honestly administered, emand that postal savings banks be ished by the Government for the safe it of the earnings of the people and to Ete exchange.

Davis, of the Fifth Dis trict of Kantas. The only candidate for whom any dele gates have been instructed Is General Weaver, of Iowa, and it is probable that he has not more than 100, so that nine-tenths of the delegates will probably come to the National convention nnlnstructed and un committed. There is a "disposition to give the Vice Presidency to some live young campaigner of the party, and the eloquent Tom Wat son, of Georgia, leader of the People's party in the National House of Representatives, could have the nomination if he would ac cept it. Hon. J. H. Davis, of Texas, who accepts the sobriquet of "Cyclone Davis," is also mentioned for the Vice Prssidenoy. The Temporary Chairmanship. The Temporary Chairman of the conven tion will be Hon. C H. Ellington, a promi nent Farmers' Alliance leader of Georgia, Tbe first choice of the National Committee fell upon Congressman Tom Watson, of Georgia, but Watson has informed Chair man Taubeneck that he cannot leave Wash ington at this time, as be desires to record himself on various important measures now on the calendar. A second installment of the Indiana dele gation, headed by Sam W. Williams, dele gate at large, arrived to-day. Friends of S. M. Holcomb. of the First Congressional district, say he. will be nominated for Con gress with almost a certainty of a re-eleo-tion. Samuel W. Williams was Chairman of tbe Indiana State Convention. He de clined to make any statement for publica tion, but in speaking of Judge ttresham he said every citizen ot the Hoosier State bas the highest regard for and the greatest con fidence in the Judge. Weaver, he said, has also a large following in Indiana. TALKING THROUGH BIS BAT. THE BUSINESS WORLD. An Improvement Shown bj a De creased Number of Failures. CONSERVATISM AND ECONOMY, Bather Than Stagnated Traffic or Enforced Curtailment. FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS Congressman Springer Says Powder!! Stand Slay Make Pennsylvania Demo craticPower of the People's Party to Prevent an Election Coarse In Such ma Event. Chicago, June 30. Congressman Spring er is at the Palmer House, on his way to his summer home at Traverse Bay. He said to day: The result of the People's party con vention at Omaha may cut a considerable figure in the November election. In many of the States of the Southwest the new party will have so strong a following that the elec toral ticket may be lost to both tbe Be publicans and Democrats. In fact. In some of the States where the Democrats are in a hopeless minority they will not put up an electoral ticket, but will put the People's party electors on the regular Semocratlo ticket, in hopes that they may thereby pre vent the Republican electors from getting a majority or the votes cast. If this can be done in enongh States, there will be no doubt as to the result of the election and as to who will sit in the White House after March 4. The new People's party Is not the old Farmers' Alliance alone. It Is a ooalitlon of the Farmers' Alliance, the old Labor party and members of various other parties, such as the Greenbackers the Grangers and the Independents. In Pennsylvania the follow ers of Mr. Powderly, to the number of 100.000, will vote for tbe nominees or the Omaha Convention, and, as most of these will be taken from the ranks of Republic ans, Pennsylvania may go Democratic "It requires a majority of the voters of the Electoral College to make the candidate President, and If the People's party can get a balance of power and keep both the Be publicans and Democrats from having a ma jority, the election will be thrown Into the House or ttepresontanves. fSriCIAt TZLKOBAK TO TBE DISPATCH.! New York, June 34 The number of failures taking place in the United States during the first half of 1893 as reported to Eraditrtet'i (South Dakota excepted) is 5,351. In 1891 the half year aggregate was 686 larger than for the past six months. The number of mercantile failures of late has fallen oil quite rapidly and the total since January 1 is smaller than for a correspond ing period in three preceding years. Aggregate debts of failing traders within six months make a like showing, amounting to only 56,535,521, which is less than for any like period since the first half of 1887, and smaller than in any similar half year since 1882, except in 1886 and 1887. A like story may be told of the total assets, ?28, 935,106, which is less than any previous like aggregate since 1882, excent for six months of 1886 and 1887. The detailed exhibit goes so far to indi cate that the past half year has been a period of retrenchment, conservatism and economy in business circles rather than one of stagnated traffio or enforced curtailment of business. Inasmuch as the mercantile death rate bas fallen rauldly away during that period. Nowhere is this more fully shown than by reference to the lists of larger business failures. These show that in the first half or 1890 there ti as 78 business failures In the United States in which the liabilities were In exces or $100 000. with lia bilities abrogating rJl.SS2.000. In a like por tion of 1891 the total number of such failures was 1S3 and of liabilities s'8 411,0S9, more thnn twice as muoh as in the fhsthalfof 1890. In tbe past six months, however, the number of failures with liabilities each in excess of $100,000 wan 83. and the total lia bilities was only $18,(22 GJ. less than 10 per cent of the total liabilities for the six months of 1891, and 90 per cent of the total ior a iikb portion orieuu. No better indication of Improved com mercial conditions throughout the country can be given than to dlreot attention to tbe faot that whereas failures with liabilities of $100,000 or more eaoh In tbe first half or 1890 showed an aggregate of indebtedness amounting to 34 per cent or the grand total of liabilities for that period, and In the first six months of 1891 the proportion of liabili ties of "$103,000 iallures" to total liabilities was 82 per cent. In the first half of the cur rent year it naa declined to 82 per cent.. years a resident of this country. While visiting his native land, some time since, be saw this opportunity to aot in tbe Interests of Norwegian Importers, and to assist them In escaping from tbe tribute wbloh they have been paying to Great Britain on im ports from this country. Nearly all the ox Soitsor the United States to Sweden and orway have been shipped via the port of nun, England, ana in jcngnsn Doats. Up to a few jears ago all American prod ucts nsed In Sweden and Norway; were pur chased from English agents. Within the last two or three years a number of Nor wegian Importers have been buying dlreot from this and other American cities to some extent, but the business is not so extensive as tbe trade would seem to warrant, and the English middleman is still able to levy his toll. Mr. Spanberg is confident that a dlreot line of steamships between Norway and the United States will be established. He la armed with letters from Christiana impor ters and from the American Consul at that place, Gerhard Gade. He has already made oon tracts for large shipments or flour direct from Topeka, Kan., to Christiana. FULL TIME 70S HINEBS. Mntterlngs of Coal Diggers Sllenoed by the Beading Company's New Order. Pottsviixi, Pa., June SO An order was issued by the Philadelphia and Beading Coal and Iron Company berore quitting time this evening that all oollirles in the Schuylkill region under theirjnrisdiction shall work full-time Friday and Saturday of this week and 'all of next week with tbe ex ception of Monday. This, it is expected, will be followed next week by an order to work full time thereafter. There has been much dissatisfaction among the minors for sometime back owing to the short time and dockase system of this corporation, as by it miners and their labor eis were barely able to eke out an existence, and tbe inntte rings of brewing trouble have been heard over the whole anthracite re gion. TberUe in the market price of coal und the 2 per cent advanoe in wages, fol lowed by to-day's order, will, however, greatly tend toward changing the feeling of the men and creating harmony again in their ranks. PROPERTY OP THE COMBINE. As tbe present -d Ttansportation being a means of jige ana publio necesity, the nment should own and operate the aa in the Interest of the people. The telegraph and the telephone, he postofflce system, being a necessity ransmission ot news, should bo owned perated by the Government in the in , or tbe people. addition to the above there will be a . which is expected to frustrate the ilean efforts that are being exerted by democratic leaders of tbe South to re- i their fellows from the People's party s. This plank will be a denunciation te Republican force bill, and it will be ngiog and emphatic as the arraignment he Democratic Rational Convention a ago. The Force Rill to Be Denounced. leaders of the Independent party given this subject most careful consid w, have weighed its effect in all its de and tbey announce to-night that the cast, that the force bill ot the Eepub n party will be denounced as an un war ted, dangerous and unconstitutional in ference in State elections. Che announcement of Chairman Tauben , of the National Committee, that he ravors such a plank is regarded as prac tically settling the matter, as Taubeneck, being a Xorthern man and of past Repub lican affiliations, would be naturally expect ed to oppose the declaration, if opposition were to be encountered. But Mr. Tauben eck is one of the warmest advocates of the plank, and says it means the electoral votes of five Southern States for the People's party's Preidental candidate this falL The fear.ot the force bill is the last bug bear by means of which the Democrats of 3 South are striving to frighten the Peo ,le's party men back into the Democratic ranks. He does not fear any injurious effect in the North from au arraignment of the force bill, because he says the "Western States, where the People's party is the strongest in the North, have always been posed to the force bill. In addition to condemning the force bill, e platform will indorse the Australian Jlot law as a needed reform in all the ates. No Badges to Be Completions. .Tlf a dozen prominent leaders of the eat independent movement are freely dis- tsed, bjit not one has yet arrived upon ,e groifnd and none is making the slightest effort for that great honor which any man might covet There will be no headquarters for the re ception of uncommitted or unpledged dele gates, and the badges which were so con spicuous at the recent Republican and Democratic conventions as expressing loyalty to the personal candidate of the delegate will be unknown in this great in dependent convention. The only emblem that adorns the breasts of the delegates is a little metal badge worn in the button-hole and bearing the inscription: "The People's Party." The selection of a candidate is to be the last work of the convention, and the choice is to be made after calm and mature medita tion. The msgie of but one name is suf ficient to take this convention by storm, and that name will never be. mentioned within the precincts of the Coliseum if the wishes of this greatpopular.A.merican are to be respected. "Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana could have the nomination by the merest 6ignal of assent, but he has forbid den his iriends to allow his name to be nsed in, this connection, and his friends are o loyfil that they are disposed to accept t wishes as their law. Other Namirs Bring Canvassed. her gentlemen who are prominently A in connection with the Presi- jomination are General James B. r. ex-Congressman from Iowa, and ly the Greenback candidate for the sney; Hon. Marion Cannon, Presi- " the California Farmers' Alliance, irominent writer and worker in the movement; Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, nnesota; Hon. John AVilletts, of t, the Farmers' Alliance candidate, -as defeated for Governor of that House is Democratic, Grover Cleveland, of course, would be the man eleoted. The vote in the Honae of Representatives, in case the Electoral College failed to select, would be by States ond not by the representation In Congress. Each State would have one vote, and the way that vote would be cast would be determined by tbe complexion of the representation. A State that has 20 repre sentatives in Congress, 9 of them Repub licans and II Democrats, w ould oast its vote for the Democratic, nominees. As some thing likb SO of the U States are Democratic looked at from this standpoint, tbeie could, of course, be but one result. The law pro vides that in case the Electoral College fails to select the Honse shall ballot on tbe names of tbe three men ho received the highest number ot votes. This would prevent tbe choice or a rank outsider. In the Senate where the Vice- President is elected in such an event as I have named each Senator casts one vote. The result or the election, in case the People's party should get a bal nnce of power, would be therefore: Presi dent, Grover Cleveland; Vice President, MThitelaw Eeld." Delegates Selected for Nebraska. LlNCO&ir, Neb., June 30. The Inde pendent State Convention for the selection of delegates at large to the National Con vention at Omaha was called to order at 11 o'clock by Chairman J. V. "Wolfe, who was Chairman. His remarks were exceedingly brief. J. A. Edgerton was made Secreurv. John H. Powers and ex-Senator Van Wyck were chosen delegates at large to the Na tional Convention, and after indorsing the St Louis platform the convention ad journed. Back to Their Fatherland. Thirty-six Italians, 14 of them women, each of whom carried a babe in her arms, passed through Pittsburg last night for New York, from which place they will sail next week for Italy. The Italians were neatly and cleanly dressed. They had been in America for three years. During that time they saved considerable money, and they said they were going back home to in vest it The party stopped off for an hour at the Union station. The 11 women with their babies sat on the station benches and chattered glibly. They attracted considera ble attention. It Was a Real Estate Scheme. Major W. B. Negley said yesterday that he understood the 1,500 acres of "valu able" land, which a "Utah man named Mid dlemiss had donated to the Presbyterian General Assembly as the site for a Presby terian college, consisted of a tract of worth less salt marshes near the Great Salt Lake. The land was represented to be worth $1,000,000, and the Presbyterians have been congratulating themselves until they re cently discovered that tbey had been taken in bv a Utah real estate boomer.

New Tobk, June SO The Iron Age in its .London cable says: The speculation in pig iron warrants bas been moderate. Scotch prices have changed very; slightly, but Cleveland advanced to 42s 6d, while hema tites sold as low as 19s. It Is reported that the Jjondon syndicate has transferred its hold' lngs of warrants to other outiidn hnnriQ and there is yot a scarcity on warrants for prompt ueiivery. The advance in Cleveland is attributed to continued diminution or stocks, and conse quent disinclination to sell. At present there are only 10,030 tons in warrant stores. Tbe stock of Scotch has inrther declined, and is now 431,000 tons. Latest quotations on warrants were 41s 5d lor Scotch, 42s 61 for Cleveland, and 42s for hematite. In pig iron a large business bas been done during the week at regular prices. Advices from tbe American market are still employed for specnlative purposes and used to explain both declines and advances in prices. TBADIrTG DIRECT WITH NOEWAY.

The Paris (Tex.) and Great Northern Rail road has been sued for $10,803, the value of 225 bales of cotton burned while en route. The first through freight train on tbe Great Northern Ballway arrived in Spokane, Wash , Wednesday morning. The train will be run over the Union Pacific tracks to San Francisco and Portland, where the freight is consigned. A coxTBAcr for grading 18 miles of the Yankton and Norfolk (S. D.) Bailroad has been let. The road is to be completed within 60 days. It is asserted that the road is to have a southern connection with the Mis souri Paciflo'and that that corporation will operate it after its completion. The Chicago and Ohio Biver Bailroad As sociation is believed to be in a shaky condi tion. The tronble is over the commission question. Some of tbe roads in the associa tion are in lavorof the payment of com missions, while others are radically op posed. Efforts to effect an agreement have so far been fruitless. The Broadway and Newburg Street Bail road 'strikers, at Cleveland, O., have agreed to go back to woik on tbe same terms as were accepted by tho East Cleveland men. The question whether the six strikers fined by Judge Solders for violating an injunction by interfering with the company's property should be taken back is left to Judge Solders. The charter of the Mead and Laurel Bun Bailroad Company was amended at tbe State Department yesterday to allow the com pany to extend its road and lnorease its cap ital stock. The road will hereafter be oper ated from the Brockport and Shawmut Bailroad, near Shawmnt village. Elk oounty, to the Betner, Elbon and 8hawmut Bailroad, in Fox township, Elk county.
