8. The act for the indefinite in.
crease of the national bank circula-
| ton, looking to the contraction and
destruction of government or green
back money. From the day they
were first issued the bankers have
been anxious to get rid of the green
backs. The less of them there we're
in circulation the more room was
there for the circulation of their own
bills, and the higher interest they
could make. The crime against the
people consists in taking away that
money which costs them no interest.
| and replacing it with an inferior kind
on which they are compelled to pay
double interest. Let the people put
their condemnation on their ballot.
3. We recognize the financial legis-
lation Of the government from the
commencement of the civil war as
the arbitrary dictation of a syndicate
Of bankers and usurers, with the sim
gle and settled purpose of robbing the
many to enrich the few. They found
the Republican party their plant
tool. a little money would bribe
them to enact any measure which the
bankers might dictate. AS a result
we never have had as corrupt an adj
ministration from the formation of
our government, as has been the bane
of the people for the last twelve years.
The history Of it has been history
of credit mobiliers. steamship subsi-
dies, railroad subsidies. back salary
steals, and multiplied frauds on every
hand. Now to save the business len
from bankruptcy, to save the working
classes from starvation, to save the
whole country from revolution and
to save the nation from reputation,
we ask everyone to put their condem-
nation of Republican legislation by
voting Greenback ticket.
10. The following preamble is an
Indictment which Massachusetts sets
up against the Republican party:
| "WHEREAs by the vicious and reck-
less administration Of public affairs
we have seen our prosperity blighted,
our industries crippled, and our peo-
| pie reduced 70 want and misery, and,
WHEREAS, The Republican party
offers no relief, but are, on the con.
trary, responsible for this sad state of
things, having legislated invariably
in the interest of the few at the ex-
tense Of the many, and against the
| interest Of land and labor which are
the sources Of all wealth, we call upon
the people, to emphatically condemn
| the policy of the administration and
to regain the priceless rights be-
qneathed us by our patriotic sires,
which they can effect by voting the
greenback.
IL. TO analyze still further the
result OF which the Republican party
has been the direct cause, and for
which they are justly responsible, we
find that they have u reduced the
value of all taxable property, except
bonds and other evidences or debt, (2)
