Ii will oppose the establishment of MONEY MA
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank Past
experience has fully taught the danger Of such an in
stitution and revealed lis corruptng and demoraizing
tendency 1t will support, however, any scheme of
finance which will secure the General Government

prevent its msapplcation by Government officers
whether that scheme of finance be denomnated The
Exchequer," "lndependent Treasury" or Fiscal

American Psople-while, at the same time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the natien,
or any other servant of the People.
II will fully reveal the workings and intrgues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavorng to build up splendid Go,
vernment, through the aid Of irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard to the Candidate for the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when 80 many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
Office The editor, however believes that the sober
second thought OF the People is wrong but al
ways efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment of the sentiment in due time and act in accord
ance Herewith.

ganzaton, but will not hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensons Of all candidates

In short, the editor will labor zealousy to advance
the moral and political happiness Of the whole People,

trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase Equal and justice to all
men,"
