There are many and vital questions upon
which the American Party can agree, and,
to these, all other subjects should be subordi-

following spirit Of our National Platform. We
held, for example, As cardinal maxims of pub
lie justice and private duty, to the following
rule of faith and action:
Resolved: 1st-The Federal Union must be
maintained.
2d.-The decision of the Supreme Court
must be enforced.
3d.-The reserved rights Of the States must
be respected.
4th.-The union Of Church and State must
be prevented.
5th.-The rights of conscience must be
guaranteed. a-
6th.-American interests must be promo

BuaLIHeros, Iowa, July 10th, 1881.

TIE idea Of expelling oil bank notes from the
State, and resorting to an exclusive metallic
currency, surrounded'as we are, on every hand
BY banks IN other States, Is, az every business

Iowa Is now deluged with shinplasters. I
can see no way Of excluding them, and filling
up the avenues Of trade and commerce with .
safe and reliable currency, which can be used
in every part Of the State, except BY the adop-
ton Of well guarded and properly secured
banking system, under our own control. Ger

from the position that Africans are Citizens OF
