button Of its products, and the requir-
ments of business, fixing minimum
amount per capita Of the population as
near as may be, and otherwise regula-
ting its value by wise and equitable
provisions of law, so that the rate of in
terest will secure to labor it's Just re-
ward.
FIFTH 1t is inconsistent with the
genius of popular government that any
species of private property should be
exempt from bearing its just share of
the public burdens. Government bonds
and money should be taxed precisely
as other property, and graduated in
come tax should be levied for the sup
port of the Government and the pay
ment Of it's debts.
SIxTH-Public lands are the COM
mon property of the whole people, and
should not be sold to Spectators nor
granted to railroads or other corpora
tons, but should be donated to actual
settlers, in limited quantities.
SEvENTH-The government should
by general enactments, encourage the
development Of our agricultural, min
eral, mechanical, manufacturing, and
commercial resources, to the end that
labor may be fully and proftably en-
ployed, but no monopoles should be
legalized.
EIGHTH useless offices should be
abolished, the most rigid economy ia
vored in every branch Of the public SER
vice, and severe punishment inflicted
upon public officers who betray the
trusts reposed in them.
NTH--As educated labor has de-
vised means for multiplying production
by inventions and discoveries, and as
their use requires the exercise Of mind as
we'll as body, such legislation should be
had that the number of hours of daily
toll will be reduced, giving to the work
ing classes more leisure for improve
ment and their several enjoyments, and
saving them from premature decay and
| death.
TENTH-The adoption OF an Ameri-
can monetary system, as proposed here
in. will harmonic all differences in re-
gard to tariff and federal taxation, re-
duce and equalize the cost Of transpor-
tation by land and water, distribute
equitably the joint earnings of capital
and labor, and secure to the producers
Of wealth the result of their labor and
skill, and muster out of service the vast
army of idlers who, under the existing
system, grow rich upon the earnings OF
others, that every man and woman
may, by their own efforts secure a COM
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in our republic.
ELEVENTH national and state
governments should establish bureaus
of labor and industrial statistics, cloth
ed with the power of gathering and
publishing the same.
TwELFTH-That the contract system
of employing labor IN our prisons and
reformatory institutions works great In
Justice to our mechanics and artisans
and should be protected.
THIRTEENTH-The importation o.
servile labor into the united States
from China, is problem of the mos
serions Importance, and we recommene
legislation looking to its suppression.

OHIO, February p. 1873.
WHEREAS, Throughout our entire
country the value of real estate is de-
preciated, industry paralized, trade de-
pressed, business incomes and wages
reduced, unparalleled distress inflicted
upon the poorer and middle ranks of
our people, the land filled with fraud,
enlightenment, bankruptcy, crime, SUI
fering, pauperism and starvation; and
WHEREAS, This state Of things has
been brought about by legislation In
the interest of and dictated by money
lenders, bankers and bondholders; and
WHEREAS, While we recognize the
fact that the men in Congress con-
neeted with the old political parties
have stood up manfully for the rights
of the people, and met the threats of
the money power and the ridicule of an
ignorant and subsidized press, yet
neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic party, in their national politics,
propose remedies for the existing evils;
and
WHEREAS, The Independent Green
back party and other associations, more
or less effective, have been unable hith-
erto to make formidable opposition to
the old party organization; and
WHEREAS. The limiting of the legal
tender quality of greenbacks, the chang
ing of currency bonds into coin bonds
the decentralization of the silver dollar,
the excepting of bonds from taxation,
the contraction of the circulating me-
dunn, the proposed forced resumption

themselves to do all in their power to
establish these principles:
FIRsT-It is the exclusive function
of the government to coin and create
