aud permanent prosperity for all classes OF
its people, and to DO equal aud exact. JUS.
tee tc all
/. Ine most extreme honesty and scono-
! my IN all departments Of the Government
expenditures.
| .. Not 10 take any measures to check our
imports, as protectionists 20 impo entity
endcavor to do; but rather TO increase
them, and on exports correspondingly, by
enlightened legislation which cannot fail Of
success.
8. Motto attempt to stop the expectation
Of gold about which the protcctienists have
such an outcry, as that is one Of our pro-
ductions. but to get nearer the value Of it
than We new do.
4. To stop, now and forever, the psrpst-
ual bowling Of wsAvers and forgers and salt
TO lers for moro tariff and more plumber of
their own countrymsn TO abate The hum.
bug off home MARKET to cease robbing
thirty odd millions Of their swn country
men. and strike for the trade. or their share
| Of it, OF the 500 millions whe people eur
globs; to lock an inch beyond their noses
and cease forever their Ii,sous appeals for
more tariff.

the present unjust order Of things. II the
Amarican farmer must, as now sell cheap,
and the American merchants must, Is now,
work cheap, there is n, reason on sarth
why they should be compelled to buy dear
Why, with freightags on 1000 miles,
transportation, commissions, brsksrages,
insurance. percentage, exchange, and all,
they should also be compelled 10 pay ia.
riff exceeding SO per cent, infgcld, on the
| top Of all these charges.
6. To resume payment Of our honest
debts in the worlds standard Of money at
| the very earliest possible moment. To re-
ducs eur present bulky, unwieldy currency
| int proper dimensions, that corners on
gold, on grain. on steeks. and On every
thing under the sun that men buy and con
sume, may be stepped. and that the present
carnival Of spsculation and making money
without labor, which now 80 runs through
out the land, may be stfectually and forever
checked So mote it be.
