our political affairs as imperatively demanding

for the oyerthrow ofa corrupt party. and a pro-
such TO unite with IL in council and in action
In these times of official couuption and politi-
nty of a good CITIZENS to reeuire sEt %
herence to, and faithful compliance with, the
principles upon VIII eh our political Institutions
rest.
Justice and sound policy forbid that one
branchof industry should be cherished at the
expense of another, or that exclusive privileges
should be conferred upon any one class of he
people; and. therefore, the people viewed with
alarm the growing tendency TO mOnOpOlies aud
class legislation, and the overshadowing in
fiuence of the money power In controlling legis-
lation. and in shaping the destinies of the coun-
try. These influences must be checked.
The only certain and safe remedies for the
dangerous tendencies of the times are TO be
found in the strict construction of the federal
constitution, and the assumption Of no doubtful
powers; an honest and economical administra-
lion OF our public affairs, both state and
national: the ostracism from public life of
all who found guilty OF official CORFU ption,
and strict subordinetion of the will of the rep
resentative 10 the will of the people, regarding
the great body of the people as the only tribunal
for the ultimate decision of questions affecting
their government, both as 60 men and measures.
The people have no divided Interests, but all
alike desire TO see: "a
1. Labor protected against the encroachments
OF mere money power; lr .ur.f III. 500
2. The industrial interests guarded against the
exactions Of monopolies; -.f $500,
3. The public burdens enlightened by honesty
and economy in the administration OF public
affairs.
Moreover, the people would like 10 see such
changes effected in our financial system as will
guard against the rapid fluctuations in prices,
conseQ uent upon the sudden contraction and
expansion of our currency, with such additions
TO It's present volume as the business OF the
country requires, adopting and discriminating
national bank currency. -f .sr-.l. f.-f
There is no hope of securing these reforms
through the agency of the party in power. We
therefore call upon all good people to meet with
in behalf of these proposed measures, and TO aid
In staying the progress OF corruption and mis-
rule.
