OHIO, February y, 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 filed with fraud,
embezzlement, bankruptcy, crime, suf-
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-
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, 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 makea formidable opposition to
the old party organization; and

ing of currency bonds into coin bonds

astonishing one. The New York

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 80 that the rate of in
terest will secure to labor its Just re-
ward.
FIFTH 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
ana 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 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 monopolies should be
legalized.
EIGHrH-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 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
well 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 CON-
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in our republic.
ELEvENTH-Bothn 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 Id
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 recommend
legislation looking to its suppression.
Reports from all portions of thu
state give good accounts OF the cause

THE POSITION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY ON The CURRENCY
QUESTION:.

Mr.. Gorham, secretary of the Re-
publican Congressional committee at
Washington, in commenting upon
the Maine election, is reported as
saying: THE error of the Republic
cans has been that they allowed
themselves to stand in the attitude
of defenders or advocates Of the ma
tiOnal banks, while in point of fact
the party is divided on the several
phases of the financial and monetary
question. What they ought to have
done was to avoid the thing Of being
placed in false attitude. and to
have stood firmly upon their record as
shown by their acts. A large major
ity of the Republicans in Congress
voted for the silver bill. and the
same is true as to the Fort bill to
prevent further retirement Of green
backs. Their record in Congress is
good, but they have failed to avail
themselves Of their strength" Mr..
Gorham himself, is said to favor the
substitution of greenbacks for bank
currency. but to be opposed to infla-
ton. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
Eastern Republicans have unneces-
sarily taken extreme ground on finan-
cial questions, but it is also true that
the leading Democrats Of that section
took the same ground until the
..Ohio idea" was forced upon them.
And. after all the startling feature
Maine campaign is not the loss Of one
of the Republican member Of Con.
gress. but the disappearance of the
Democratic party, which is nearly out
Of sight down the outlet of the new
Greenback and imitation party.

The concert gotten. up by Mr..
Charles Zulauf for the benefit of
the fever sufferers Of the South, and
which came off at Turn-Verein

have been larger, but, considering
the times and the fact that many
of those present had already con-
tributed, it was very fair. An en-
tertaining programme was capi-
tally rendered by Madame Mara,
Messrs. Tanning, Corbett, Hassel-
man, Arevalo, Day, Carter, Burke,
Mathes, Coolidge, HOpkinson,
Zulauf and Burke, vocalists, with
Mrs. Stratton as accompanist. Mrs.
Stratton and Mr.. Mendel Meyer

gave several delightful instru-

manner. The Wangeman Bros.
Mr., Ruthard and others, whose
