NATIONAL PLATFORM.

The following platform was unanimous
ly adopted by the National Congressional
convention, held at GAINESVILLE, \ 1 gust 9th,
1878:
1st That we adopt the National and Stat
platforms of the National Labor Greenback
party of Ohio.
I'd That we pledge our lives, fortunes and
sacred honor to the maintenance of its pri-
nciples.
Sd. That we will not support any man for
any Office of trust OF profit in the United
States, who is not in full sympathy and
afiliation with the principles therein cons
tanned
4th. That We are opposed to party rings
obtaining votes illegitimately, such as leaV-
ing money with. saloon keepers, central COM
mitteemen, or stool pigeons of any name
OF any kind whatsoever.
9TH. That we will ignore any man for any
Office who is known TO resort to any of the
above plans in order to obtain nomination
or election to any Office.
9th. That we will not support any nan
for any office of honor trust or profit who
is interested directly or indirectly in any
National Bank or is the holder of govern
ment bonds, OF who is not in favor Of the
government issuing directly full lawful
legal tender greenbaek paper money, re-
ceivable for all debts public and private, on
imports and exports, so that a dollar will
pay dollar of debt, no matter who creditor,
and to be based on the credit Of the coun-
try the same as the government bonds are
based upon the credit of the government; to
be issued, received and protected by the
government as absolute, lawful, lega'
tender money.
7th. That we are in favor of a protective
tariff to protect home industry only, and
that we are in favor of an income tax.
| 8th. That our motto shall ever be the
greatest good to the greatest number.5
The Teachers Institute.
Every body who can ought to attend the
Teachers Institute during the last week OF
Aug Parents should if possible know
something of the methods of instruction as
we'll as the things taught, SO that they car
intelligently judge as to whether theil
children are properly cared for at school, a
great deal of defrauding is practiced by
teachers There are some who never go t
Institutes and never read books on the ar
of teaching and expend but little though
as to plans and some even who care little
as to matter, and yet are in the work o
training minds for action in the world
These should be detected. There are other
who labor untiringly to promote their owl
qualifications and the discipline of thei
schools, spending their money and time OIL
books and lectures and hard original study
These should also be detected and reward
ed with the best patronage. It is through
the schools to large degree that peopl
become wise and good The schools ar
controlled not by the professional teacher
but by the parents who employ and pa.
them and the employer as far as possible
ought to understand the work done b.
his employee. Every body who can ough
to hear W hat will be said on these subject
Il in our town by the leading educators O
our state.
