The National committee will pub
lish promptly campaign song book,
and it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music, OF should be set
to popular airs. The committee feel,
that this crisis should bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local Or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly, and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
success in a city. or town, or town.
ship, or in Il village, is often the key
to more important victories. The re-

York and Pennsylvania are encour-
aging to the workers in the cause
everywhere. These gains in the east
may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and Jealous work.
The committee respectfully requests
that Greenback and Labor local Or

charters as National councils that the
unification of interests secured with
such harmony and enthusiasm by the
Toledo convention may be utilized.
The national committee invites

The Journal says very large por-

sympathy with the greenback move
ment. but voted the greenback ticket
to express their condemnation of the
doings Of big Republican officials. We
are not disposed to dispute the jour
nal when it says the leaders of the Re-

the balance and found wanting. But
we have been told the Greenbackers
all come from the Democratic party.

Money boarded for the last five
years has been a good investment-not
SO good as money invested in govern
ment bonds, because money invested
in government bonds is the same as
boarded and draws interest,-but mon
ely boarded has paid big, because Of
the increase of its purchasing power.
On the other hand, money invested in
business has shrunk, as noted by the
continued increase of failures. Is it
any wonder money don't go into bust
ness when if a man pays out 81 for a
days work he cant get but so cents
back The money that is now hoard
ed will be paid out for the wages of la
Dor when it will pay better to hire la
Dor than it will to hoard money.
There will be profits in boarding SO
long as prices continue to fall. When
values turn upward the profits in
boarding will cease and idle money
will seek active employment. giving
work to the idle and bread to the hun

financial problem is to stop the shrink.
age Of values. stop robbing the i'm
poverished masses to enrich the public
creditor.
We have had decade of shrinking
volume of money and falling prices.
If this treatment is going to cure we
ought to receive some benefit by this
time. The man is sick, and growing
slcker. Shall we continue the old
treatment and further reduce the pa
tent by more bloOd-letting. or change
the treatment and try to build up. The
object of the enforcement of the re-
sumption act is to further reduce the
sick man by cutting-down prices, and
it is working admirably to the ruin of
every interest in the country except
the fundholding interest.

THE NATIONAL PARTY.
Platform of Principles, Adopted at Toledo,
Ohio, February p, 1873.


Ohio, February p, 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 filled 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 pemo-
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-
dium, 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 counteracted by judicicus leg
Islation:
THEREFORE,. We assemble in nation
al convention and make declaration
of our principles, and invite all patri-
otto citizens to unite In an effort to Sc
cure financial reform and industrial
emancipation. The organization shall
be known as the National Party" and
under this name we will perfect. with

sociations to secure the election to Of

themselves TO do all in their power to

If John Sherman should take the
$70,000,000 of gold he has boarded for
redemption day and pay S7O,O00,0 900 of
our bonds in England, it would III
crease the volume of money in Eng
land and raise prices. We should get
more gold for the beef, butter, bacon
and cotton that we send to England.
But if John keeps what he has got and
gets $70,000,O00 more by next Jan,
he must draw from England's store
and cut-down the prices of our prod
ucts in England by shrinking the vol
ume of money in that country. Is it
good economy to shape our legislation
to cut-down the prices of our products
in England would stimulate produc-
ton here and draw the greenbacks
that are now boarded into circulation
England and Germany are struggling
for gold to maintain gold basis. If
the United States enters the contest.
and John succeeds in boarding $50
100000 in the Treasury, it must cut
down the prices of our products in
England and Germany, those coun.
tries that largely hold our bonds.

amount per capita of the popu' alton as
near as may be, and otherwise regula-
ting its value by wise and equitable
provisions of law, so that the rate of in
terest will secure to labor it's Just re-
ward.
FIFTH 1T 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 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.
SEvENTH-The 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 monopoies should be
legalized.
EIGHTH-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.
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
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 harmonize all differences in re-
gard to tariff and federal taxation, re-
duce and equalize the cost of transport
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 COM
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in 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.
Understandable importation of
servile labor into the United States,
from China, is problem of the most
serions Importance. and we recommend
legislation looking to its suppression.
