lDNESDAY MORNING, J
and oppressive to the great body Of the Ameii-
can people.
Fourth-We regard tho whole system of the
contraction of the currency, from April, 1885,
to the present time, as an act OF gross fraud
and injustice; subversive Of the best interests
of the nation; leading TO tens of thousands of
bankruptcies; the concentration of large
part of the wealth of the people in the han6s
Of few bullionists and money-holders, and
the stagnation and paralysis of almost every
industry. z s.
Fifth-After having replaced the entire bond
ed debt of the nation with legal tender curren-
cy Except where the faith of the government
was originally and specifically pledged to coin
payment) we believe that thereafter tho circp-
lati:n should be steadily and gradually ip-
creased in exact proportion to the growth Of
population and wealth and business of the
Countryside circulation per capita being;
maintained as nearly as possible the same, 10
as not to disturb the relative value OF money,
siFth-We believe that all private property,
and everything that has value. owned. or held;
by individuals OF corporations, and all indus-
tries and interests in the nation, should bear
tnelr equal anu Leg lginate nlsaIo " Sa4asaun
for the support Of the government and the
protection Of the people. .,.Sls t..
Seventh-We regard the declaration Of the
Republican party at its last convention In this
State in 1878, that mo consti titutio1aal righ {
iaheres IN the government to protect the people,
against monopolics byl the apo,certW. arbitrary
and rapacious' as a most reckless and danger-
GUS hercsy as heartless as. it is pptrue, and
anti Republican ia sentiment. stisye s.szss III
Eighth-We are opposed to NIL uni inst and
discriminative class legislation. and in favor Of
q fair field and open competition for all. .s2s
Ninth-We are earnestly opposed to all large
landed monopolies-either by railroads, cor.
that the public domain should be held exs
clusively for actual settlers, n
We are opposed to. the present
or any other national banking system, and in
favor of the government alone issuing all that
circulates as money. We are in favor OF q
graduated and equitable income tax; but ono
term of Office for President and Vice Presidents;
the election of President, Vice President, post
masters and as far as practical all other officers
by direct vote of the people; the severe pun-
ishment by fine or imprisonment or both, and
Of any person who offers to buy or sell o vote,
or is guilty Of any fraud or intimidation, or
threats or violence at a bauot-box or election,
with view to prevent the free and indepena-
ent vote of any person or persons whatsoever
or whomsoever. ~ S5 - 81
Tenth-We regard the old Minnesota railroad
bonds as dishonest and illegal in their whole
origin and history, q measure conceived in ssin
and brought forth in iniquity, and one that is
not morally binding on the people Of this State.
Eleventh-We are in favor Of the equaliza-
tion Of the soldiers hounties.
Twelfth-We desire to enter our protest as
American citizens against the custom which has
fo11 al 1u hvf ho lead
of both the old parties and especially the Re
publicaEs-since the close of the late war Of
| the rebellion, Of fostering local prejudices and
sectional strife and hatred, whether between
the North and South or the East and West, re-
garding itas unpatriotic, ,narrow-minded lib
eral and fratricldal, and one that cannot beltoo
earnestly condemned by all good citizens Of the
| Union, indicating the demagogue and partisan
rather than the statesman or patriot. and OBJ
viously intended to divert the attention of the
| people from grayer and more important sub
| jects of a practical character. 49,.
| Thirteenth-We denounce the boisterons. and
vindictive discussion fol: weeks together by the
present Congress, of an, insignificant anasiR.
operative election law, that has not existed at
all until within the last few years; at the same
time that they adjourned over Monday, week
after week, to prevent the introduction of any
measures of relief in the interest of the peo.
pie, as wicked and peurile. and beneath the
dignity of any honest and respectable body o1
American citizens.
J. Fourteenth- arc opposed to all land.
\ grabs by wealthy corporations in this State
either of swamp lands, internal improvement,
lands, or the public domain, in any form what.
| ever. We believe that the swamp lands ought
i to be appraised and sold the same as school
! lands and internal improvement lands now are
and the proceeds funded and the interest, to
i gether with that accruing from the interna
improvement land fund, devoted to school pur
poses and other general current expenses of the
State in such a way that all may participate II
the benefits, and the burdens and taxes of tht
people correspondingly ightened.; We are op
posed to all useless and unnecessary Offices ane
1 sinecures and all favoritisnl and fraud. or th
\ retention in office of Spers,ns guilty of dishon
: esty or extravaganza in the use of public
moneys, and in favor of the most rigid econ
omy apd fidelity in the administration of al
State and federal matters. go ,
i Fifteenth-We commend the public speaker
and press Of, our National Greenback -Labo
party throughout the State for avoiding al
Z low, Vulgar, personalities and slang, and confn
ing themselves closely to the measures an,
principles before the country, rather than striv
ing to traduce and villify and misrepresen
those who differ from them in in opinion. beliey
ing that calm, earnest, dispassionate, courte
GUS and gentlemanly course in the future. as i
the rast, will be appreciated by our best cit
zens of all parties. We also desire t
express our admiration and appreciatio
of our Greenback members in Congress fc
their noble, earnest and able advocacy Of th
Il rights and interests of the people. s..s.s
Sixteenth-We are satisfied that there is q
! imperative necessity for weekly central 70
State organ, in the interests of our party
under the editorial management and contrt
. of an able and incorporating man, and wi
4 do all in our power to encourage and sustai
such journal if started. ~ sfs ,s
