LAST Tuesday night the Independent
Green back club of this place met at the
city nall. The meeting was called To
order by the President, Mr.. q. A. John
ston. After which the following plat
form WAS adopted.
F!rst-We demand the immediate and
unconditional repeal of the specie re-
sumption act of January Ia, 1875, and
the rescue of our industries from the dis
aster aud ruin resulting from its enforce.
meat, and we call upon all patriotic men
10 organizs in every Congressional dis
trict OF the country, with the view OF
eecting Representatives to Congress
who will eglslsLe for, and a Chief Mag
istrate who will carry out the wishes OF
the people in this regard, and thus stop
tho present suicidal and destructive
Iolicy of contraction.
z. We believe that the United States
notes issued directly by the government
and convertible on demand into United
States obligations, bearing an equitable
late of interest, not exceeding one cent
a day on each one hundred dollars, and
interchangeable with United States notes
NJ par, will afford the best circulating
medium ever devised; such nited States
notes should be fully legal tender for all
purposes, except Tor the payment OF such
obligations as are by existing contracts
expressly made payable in coin. And
we hold that 1t is the duty OF the govern
ment TO provide such a circulating lnedl-
um, and we insist, in the Ian gusge of
Thomas Jefferson, "thst bank paper
must be suppressed and the circulation
restored to the nation to whom it be-
longs"
Sd. 1t is the paramount duty of the
government ii all its legislation to keep
in view the full development of all legiti-
mate business, agricultural, miniBg, man
ufacturing aud commercial.
4th. We most earnestly protest a. ainst
an, further issue of gold bonds, tor sale
IN foreign markets. by means oil which
we would be msde ior longer period
hewers of wood and drawers of water for
foreign nations, especially rs the Ameri-
can people would gladly and promptly
take at par all the bonds that the gov
ernment may need to sell, provided they
are made payable ut the option OF the
holder, although bearing interest at three
and siXty-fve one hundredths per cent.
per annum, or even a lower rate.
stu. We further protest against the
sale OF government bonds Tor the purpose
of buying silver TO be used rs a substi-
tute tor our more convenient and less
fuctusting fractional currency, which,
although well calculated to enrich the
owners OF silver mines, yet in operation
will still further oppress through taxa
tion An already overburdened people.
The roll WAS produced and swollen TO
one hundred and tour members, after
which Messr5. Hubbard and Marshal ad-
dressed the club. The speeches of the
