The Ohio National Convention.

cleveland, chairman. and Hugo Preyer,
OF canton, secretary. General s. L. Cary
was made chairman of the committee on
resolutions and reported the following
platform.
"First We indorse and reaffirm the
declaration of the principles of the ma
q, 1873
"Second. Want of harmony of senti-
ment on the financial question in both
the republican and democratic parties
renders 1t absolutely necessary that those
who demand financial reform should
abandon old organizations and unite to-
gether In the national greenback labor
party 10 save business men from bank
ruptcy, the working classes from starya
uon, the whole country from revolution,
and the nation from repudiation.
"ThiTd. We denounce as crimes
against the people the law making the
greenback only partial legal tender; the
act creating the national banking scheme;
the act changing currency bonds into
coin bonds; the act exempting bonds
from taxation; the act repeating the in
come tax; the act demonetizing silver;
the nc Tor issuing inter st-beariug bonds
for the purchase of silver bullion, to be
converted into subsidiar, coin; the act
for the forced assumption of specie paw
ments; he act for the Indefinite increase
OF the national bank circulation, and the
enormous contraction of the volume of
the circulating medium. We reco nize
the finan ial legislation of the govern
ment from the commencement of the
civil war aS tn, arbitrary dictation of q
syndlca of bankers anu usur rs, with
the singl" and settled purpose of robbing
he many to enrich the few.
Fourth. To remedy and counteract
the evil complained of we demand that
the government shall issue full legal
tend + paper money adequate in volume
for the employm mt of labor, the distri-
bu ion of Its products, the requirements
of business, and for the payment of all
Understanding bonds as fast as redeem
able: the withdt avail and cancellation of
all bank notes designed 10 circulate as
currency; the non exemption from tax
OF all private properly; the passage of a
graduated in-come-tax act; the unlimited
! coinage of gold and silver; the repeal Of
| che specie resumption act; the bIlish-
ment of all legalized monopolies and the
prohibition of their establishment in the
| future.
"Fifth. We recognize the mutual de-
pendence of capital and labor, and de-
precat- all attempts to antagonize them.
Combinations of capital to rob and
strikes of labor to resist robbery are de-
structive of the true interests of both
I w
which demands an equal division of
property and the infamous financial leg
lislation which takes all from the many
to en- ich The few. We demand cheap
capital and well paid labor in place of
dear capital and cheap labor.
"Sixth. To secure the rights and pro-
tect the interests of employer and em
ployed bureaus of statistics should be es-
fablished and competent persons ap-
InniptaI IN pa nfn and ha
condition and wages of the working
iasses in all departments of industry,
that wise, judicious and equitable laws
may he enacted in regard to the hours of
labor and the employment of minors in
manufacturing Establishments.
"Seventh. The public lands should be
sacredly set apart for the honesteads of
actual settlers, and such Legislation SHOULD
be had as will encourage and aid the
landles in securing homes.
| eighth. The contrac' system of en-
ploying he Inmates of our prisons works
great II justice to mechanics and manu-
facturers, ami should he abolished
| "Ninth. The importation of the ser
vile labor of o'her countries should be
| prohibited under the sever, st penalties
| while the immigration of the liberty-lov-
ing from other lands should be encour-
! aged.
"Tenth We deprecate and denounce
all seditinus and violent measures, and
appeal only to the good sens, love of
justice and patriotism OF the people, and
invoke them to redress their outras eous
wrongso ly Ihrous the ballot-box.
| eleventh. We demand p oper sani-
tary safeguards and regulations for wo, k
shops, mines and factories.
Twelfth. We favor the enactment
of laws giving M chanics and laborers
a first lien on all descriptions of their
work for their full wages
"Thirteenth. We are opposed to any
| further issue of interest bearing bonds of
the United S ate for any purpose what
ever.
