Progressive Farmer Rally Voices On Financial Reform and Alliance Power
The long document lists leaders and officers of the Farmers Alliance and Carolina Farmers State Alliance, with speeches denouncing tariff politics, urging financial reform, Sub Treasury, and debt relief. It condemns plutocratic democracy, promotes publishing papers, and calls for farmer unity to control rails and money, comparing platforms to opposing party lines and urging action. It closes urging readers to support Progressive Farmer subscriptions.
Democratic Platform Embraces Limited Federal Power
Milestones in party development declare a limited federal government, oppose general internal improvements, resist debt assumptions, and demand equal rights while opposing a national bank. The piece cites faith in the Constitution, land proceeds, and separation from banking, with a later note on religious tolerance and repudiation of Catholic and foreign-born biases. It also records a 1892 meeting denouncing Col Creecy and defending Col Polk against demagogues.
