Pesoir,i. By The Democracy of Iowa |
in Convention assembled that the recon |
-irae,ion policy of Congress. is unconsttu /
! rioaal and destructive Of the spirit OF 4
American Liberty. and If carried oat will
inevitably result in a permanent military
despoiism.

| tu,ional purpose Of centralizing and perpe-
,ua,ing oil the political power Of the gev-
| eminent in the dominant radical party IN
| Congress.
| a Rssoired, That for the maintenance
of the National credit ws pledge the honor
OF the Democracy Of Iowa, but that We
will unaterably oppose that policy which
proposes to pay the rich man in gold ana
the poor man in deprecated currency ana |
that we believe that the currency when 70
good enough to pay the soldier, the widow
and the orphan, is good enough for the
bond holder; and that - the green
back note 10 legal tender Tor
all debts, public and private, except dutie>
upon imports and interest upon the puo'ic
debt. and is receivable for all loans maze
to the United States, We are IN iavor OF
paving off the bonded debt oil this nauon IN
rreenbacks al rapidly as they become due.
or the financial safety Of the country wiii
permit.
Resofpsd. That the national b,nk system
ORGANIZED in the interest Of the bondhold-
ers ought 10 be abolished. and the United
States notes subst ltuted in lieu OF national
bank currency, thus saving 10 the people in
interest alone, more than 100000 an
n nually; and until such system Of banks
shall be abolished we demand that the
shares Of such banks in Iowa shall be subject
;. to the same taxes. State and municipal. %
other property Of the State.
d Rssolued, That il is the duty Of the Uni
II ted States to protect oil citizens, whether
!. native or naturalized, in every right, al
~ home and abroad, without regard to the pre-
tcuded claim of foreign nations to perpstua
allegiance.
