This document takes the wind out Of
Republican sails most completely. 1t
shoves its planks right up the Republi-
can strongholds with grace that is truly
amusing.
1t favors complete separation of Church
and State, religious independence and
secular education without division OF
school funds.
1t deplores the contraction of currency
forced resumption and prospective gen.
eral bankruptcy, and demands volume
of currency equal to the wants Of trade,
restoration of legal tenders to par, by the
promotion ofindustries.-AMaHce MOH-
