THE PLATFORM.
The following platform was adopted
The National Greenback Labor Party of
Ohio. in convention assembled, adopt the fol-
lowing declaration Of principles as our plat
form and go before the people thereon with
the consciousness Of thereby performing a
sacred duty to our fellow American citizens as
sovcreigns of a free republic. sa
and political rights and privileges there should
be no favoritism on account of birth color,
creed or financial condition.
The general government should issue an am
pie volume of full legal tender currency to
meet the business needs of the country and
to properly pay all of its debts.
We recognize the deplorable commercial
condition of our country as something appal-
ling to contemplate, and we unhesitatingly
hold the old parties responsible for the nefari-
GUS and ruinous policy pursued, and point to
their record as full and complete evidence to
the people that it is folly to hope for relief
from either, and We unhesitatingly charge this
suffering and degradation as the result of the
| legislation of the last quarter of century be-
ing solely in the interest of the monied aristoc-
racy and corrupt corporations. ~ ...f->
The funding Of the national debt into long
time bonds, t., be paid over and over in the
| form of interest," absorbing the wealth of the
nation, making business property an impossi-
| blllty, reducing the laborer to a condition OF
semi-slavery, and rendering the welfare of the
nation subservient to the interests of the bond
holding class, is an outrage SO monstrous that
any political party that sanctions it is unworthy
| the support of Intelligent and honest men.
We are infexibly opposed to the issue by the
government Of interest-bearing bonds Of any
description for any purpose whatever.
The national banking system should be i'm.
mediately abolished, tariff amply sufficien
for protection of American industries should
be maintained till free financial system MAY
have shown it to be unnecessary to tax labo
for the support of capital.
| All internal revenue taxes should be dis
pensed with and graduated income tax sub
stituted. sr T - :
We demand the immediate calling in ant
payment of all United States bonds in full
legal tender. (Great applause when this wa
ready
i We demand an equalization of bounties 70
soldiers. .i'zs .
!. We denounce all references to our late ciyi
war of a malicious and insulting nature as rev
olutionary and wholly inconsistent with th
principles OF free government and antagonist
to the restoration of the old motto united W
stand, divided we fall.'' ,sf34>
