button of its products, and the requir
ments Of business, fixing a 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 III
terest will secure to labor it's just re
ward.
FIFTH--It 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 its 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.
SEN ENId"iuo SONtiIllleIlt SAlOulO
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
localized.
EIGHTH-AH useless offices should be
abolished, the most rigid economy ia
vored in every branch of the public ser
vice, and sewers punishment inflicted
upon public officers who betray the
trusts reposed In them.
NINTH 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 all 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 oilers who, under the existing
system, grow rich upon the earnings of
others, hat every man and woman
may, by their own efforts secure a COM
petence, so that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
Id 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.
THIRrEESTH-The importation of
~servile labor into the United States,
from China, is a problem of the most
%serions Importance, and We recommend
legislation looking to its suppression.

THE NAIIONiL PARTY.
Platform Of Principles. Adopted at Toledo.
Ohio, February y, 1878.

Onlo, FEBRUARY *, 1878.
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-
fering, p%auperism 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
WHEREAS, The limiting of the legal
tender quality of greenbacks, the chang
ing of currency bonds into coin bonds
the demonstration of the silver dollar,
the excepting of bonds from taxation,
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-
bic. the result of these criminal acts
must be c~ounteracted bv judicicus leg
islation:
THEREFORE,. We assemble in nation
al convention and make a declaration
of our principles, and invite all patri-
otto citizens to unite III an effort to Sc
cure financial reform and industrial
emancipation. The organization shall
be known as the National Party" and
under this name We viii perfect. with
out delay, national. state and local as
sociations to secure the election to of
flee of such men only as will pledge
themselves to do all in their power TO
establish these principles:
FIRsr-It 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
culating medium. whether of metal or
paper, shall be issued by the govern
ment, and made a full legal tender for
all debts, duties and taxes In the United
States at Its stamped value.
SEcoND There shall be no privileged
class Of creditors. Official salaries pen
sions bonds, and all other debts and OBJ
legations, public and private, shall be

the United States, strictly according
to the snpulations of the laws under
which they were contracted

The great journals OF the metropolis

Board has been established in New York
and another in Chicago ; and the ex-
element which has hitherto been the

The Teachers Association OF the Second Dis
trict, met at Aberdeen, ON Saturday, January
10Th. The meeting was called to order by the
President, j. D. Worthington, with the follow.
ing teachers present: Mrs. Chase, Misses Alice
Hopkins, A. G. Bradley, L. E. Miller, F, A,
ton, A. ID. Clopton and A. L. Hyde.
On motion the constitution, adopted at the
last meeting was read and slightly amended.
The subject, "Should the average attendance
of scholars govern teachers salaries Y'' was
discussed, all the teachers taking part In The
discussion At the conclusion of this discussion,
committee was appointed to prepare a memor.
ial expression of the unanimous sentiment of
the teachers, and the following was reported
1--WE, the teachers of the Second District feel
ing the injustice OF the present system of regu-
lating our salaries by the average attendance of
the scholars, being nominaly one salary but
really greatly reduced one; and knowing
that our duties are no less imperative, and our
expenses the same with small school as with a
large one; perceiving also our inability TO in.
crease the average attendance of our schools
in fact, finding in the great majority of the
schools in the county. it Is absolutely impossible
TO obtain or to accommodate the requisite number
of scholars to procure our full salaries do appeal
to the Honorable School Board to revoke this
order, and restore our salaries TO definite sum,
adequate for the demands Of our position"
The subject "Discipline" was next consider
ed. Mrs. Chase read an essay containing yalua-
BILE and interesting thoughts on the subject
Other teachers spoke, evincing various modes of
securing good discipline In the schools.
Mr.. WOrthington read most commendable
essay on Teaching" after which the Execu-
tive Committee announced the following pro-
