the offices OF the federal government itself
with incapacity, waste and fraud; infecte d
States and municipalities with the cortu-

Reform is necessary to establish sound
currency, restore the public credit and
maintain the national honor. We denounce
the failure for all these eleven years to
make good the promise of the legal tender
notes, which are changing standard OF
value in the hands OF the people, and the
non payment of which Is iii n. gard OF the
plghted faith of the nation.
We dcnounce the impr0vidence which in
eleven years of peace has taken from the
people, IN lcueTai taxes, thlrteen times the
