THE PLATPoRN.
The following platform was adopted:
The National Greenback Labor party OF
Ohio in convention assembled, adopted
the following declaration Of principles as
its platform and go before the people,
thereon, with the consciousness OF thereby
performing a sacred duty TO our fellow
American citizens as sovereigns OF free
Republic.
In the recognition and distribution OF
civil and political rights and privileges
there should be no favoritism on account
Of birth, color, creed or financial condition,
The general governments should issue an
ample volume OF full legal tender currency
TO meet the business needs OF the country
and to promptly pay all its debts.
We recognize the deplorable CONNER
cial and industrial condition OF our coun-
try as something appalling to contemplate,
and we unhesttatingly hold the old parties
responsible for the netariOus and ruinous
policy pursued, and point to their record
as full and complete evidence 10 the peo.
pie that it is folly TO hope for relief from
either, and We unhesitatingly charge this
suffering and degradation us result Of the
legislation OF the lust quarter OF century
being solely in the interest Of the monied
arlstocracy and corrupt corporations.
The funding Of the national debt into
long time bonds, to be paid over and
over in the form ofinterest absorbing the
wealth OF the nation, making business
prosperity an impossibility, reducing the
laborer to a condition OF semi.slavery. and
rendering the welfare OF the nation sub.
servient to the interests Of the land.hold-
ing class is an outrage SO monstrous that
any political party that sanctions it is un-
worthy the support Of intelligent and
honest men. We are inaexibly opposed
to the issue by the Government OF inter
est bearing bonds Of any description, for
any purpose whatever.
The National banking system should be
at once abolished; tariFFamply sufficient

sary to tax labor for the support OF capital.
All internal revenue tax should be dis.
pensed with, and graduated income tax
substituted.
We demand the immediate calling in
and payment OF oil United States bonds in
full legal tender money. [Great applause
when this was read.
We demand an equalization OF the
bountieS for soldiers.
We denounce all references TO our late
civil war OF q malicious and insulting na-
ture, as revolutionary and wholly incon-
sistent with the principles Of free govern.

Of the motto, Omitted We Stand, Divided
We Fall.
A platform, reported by General Sher'
wood as minority Of the Committee on
Resolutions, called out bitter discussion
