The National committee will pub

that tickets be nominated in localities

may be equalled and surpassed else

To the People of the United tates

Owing TO the pressing demands from
all parts of the country for the i'm
mediate organization of the National
party. the executive committee of the
National party of the United States
has adopted the following means Of
action. out of which it is believed will
grow perfect and uniformed
organization of the party in the diff
ferent states.
I pom the application Of ten or more
voters who have organized a council
OF the National party in any locality.
and elected officers consisting of Il
chief a vice chief. Il scribe and n
treasurer. and reported the state.
postotfice. township and county. or
city and ward. in which ii is organized
together with the names of the said
officers. the national committee will
issue TO snch organization IN engraved
charter emblematic of the principles
and objects of the National party. and
a constitution and directions for the
organization and government of the
council. Each application must be
accompanied by the sum of one dollar.
This sum will cover the expense of
issuing the charter. and will secure to
each council the privilege of obtaining
printed documents. badges. campaign
song books and other campaign goods
from the national committee at cost.
or AS near cost AS practicable.
The national committee will also
issue charters TO young men scouncils.
to consist of youths under age. upon
the same terms and with like
privileges to those granted to the
councils of voters. The object of the
formation of young mems councils is
to inspire the youths of the country
with . realization of the great strug-
gle upon which the nation has now
entered, and to educate them in the
vital questions of political economy
and good government.

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,
embezzlement, bankruptcy, crime, suf-
ferlng, 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 III Congress con-
nected 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, vet
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 makea 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 contraction OF the circulating me-
dunn. the proposed forced resumption
Of specie payments. and the prodigal
waste of the public lands. were crimes
against the people. and, as far as posi-
BILE, the result of these criminal acts
must be counteracted by judicicus leg
islation:
THEREFORE,. We assemble In nation
al convention and make declaration
of our principles. and invite all patri-
otto citizens TO unite in an effort to Sc
cure financial reform and industrial
emancipation. The organization shall
be known as the National Party" and
under this name We will perfect. with
out delay. national. state and local as
soclatlons 10 secure the election to of
fee of such men ouly rs will pledge
themselves to do all in their power to
establish these principles:
FIRsT-lt Is the exclusive function
OF the government to coin and create
money and regulate its value. All
bank issues designed to circulate as
money should be suppressed The cir
eulating medium. whether of metal or
paper, shall be issued BY the govern

button OF its products, and the requir-

amount per capita Of the popu alton 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 a 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
tions, but should be donated to actual
settlers, in limited quantities.
CEFEN1h uC SOFeIuIIlcuG SlOttlu
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 monopoies should be
legalized.
EIGHTH-All 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 betrav the
trusts reposed in them.
NrH-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 transport
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 COM
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in our republic.
ELEVENTH Both 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.
THIETEENTH-The importation of
servile labor into the United States.
from China, is problem Of the most
serlons Importance, and We recommend
legislation looking TO its suppression.
