same currency for all classes and all i'm
terests, and that it is wrong upon the
people to have one kind If money for the
lOndhOl.ler and another kind for the
poor man. We therefore demand the
immediate and unconditional repeal If
the Resumption Act, and the passage
Of law by Congress making green-
hacks legal tender for the payment If
all debts, both public and private, lex
cept where otherwise stipulated i'm the
contract,I and also making them re.
ceivable for duties To the Government;
and We demand that silver I've coined
without limit, and that it Ike made at
all times and for all purposes equal
with gold.
IV.-We believe il is wrsng tO cOn-
tract the currency to a less amount
than the business Of the county re-
quires, and are therefore opposed Ia
retiring any more greenbacks, and are
in favor of the Government issuing and
maintaining a volume Of currency at all
times equal to the demands Of the blisi-
ness interests Of the country.
We are opposed to the Govern
nent making any discrimination be-
tween any classes Of its creditors, and
are therefore i'm favor Of system Of
legislation that will cause the Govern
ment bonds to Ike paid at their matur-
ity i'm the same kind Of money with
which the Government employees are
paid, and which the people at large
are compelled to use.
VI.-We believe that every citizen
who owns property and enjoys the pro-
| lection IF the GOvernment, should bear
his share Of the burden of supporting
il, and therefore demand that the Gov
eminent bonds he taxed rs other prop
erty.
VII.-We are opposed to all monol'-
Olies, which Cypress the producer and
/, consumer, for the benefit Of the manu-
facturer and capitalist, and believe it
to Ike WRONG and unjust to foster and
sustain any interest at the expense of
the people. We therefore declare our
opposition to the protective tariff, and
demand that there shall Tx tariff for
revenue only.
VIII.-We favor and commend for
officers If public trust and confidence,
only honest men, and deprecate and
,iei,Otlnce all methods and agencies,
by which the popular will ami choice
are defeated, and give our hearty assent
to a full and complete exposure Of the
men and means by which this will and
choice have becn, or may Le, unju>tiy
or fraudulently thwarted.
IN.-We are opposed Ia bringing
convict labor into competition with
uncnforcel and free labor i'm this State
