"We declare, therefore: First. That the union of, the labor forces in the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual; may its spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. . . . The interests of rural and civic labor are the same; their enemies are identical."

Ignatius Donnelly St. Louis Preamble to the Populist Party Platform, 1892
