The following platform was adopted:
The National Greenback Labor party of
| Ohio, in convention assembled, adopt the
| following declaration of principles as our
platform, and go before the people thereon
| with the consciousness of thereby performing
| a sacred duty to our fellow American citizens
| as sovereigns of a free republic. In the
recognition and distribution of civil and
| political rights and privileges there should
| be no faVorltism On account of birth, color,
| creed or financial condition. The general
government should issue an ample
meet the business needs of the
country and promptly pay all Of it's
| debts. We recognize the deplorable COM
nercial anG industrial conditi IN OF our coun-
| try as something appalling to contemplate,
| and We unhesitatiagly hold the old parties
responsible for the nefarious and ruinous
| policy pursued and point to their record as
! full and complete evidence to the people that
| it Ia folly to hope for relief from either, ana
| We unhesitatingly charge this suffering and
| degradation as the result of the legislation OF
! the last quarter OF century, beng solely In
| the interest OF the moneyed aristocracy and
corrupt corporations; the funding Of .h6 ma
tlonal debt into long time bonds, to be paid
| over and over IN the form of interest absorb
| ing the wealth Of the nation, making bust
ness prosperity an ImpossibihtY, reducing
| the iaborer to a condition OF aeniI slavery and
rendering the welfare Of the nation subGervi-
| eat to The interests of the BODYBUILDING class
| Is an outrage 50 monstrcus that any political
| party that sanctions it is unworthy the sup
! port OF intelligent and honest men. We are
| infexibly opposed TO the issuance by the gov
| eminent OF interest bearing bonds OF any de-
scriptlon for any purpose whatever; the
national banking system shGGld &c immedi-
ately abolished; e tariff amply sufficient for
the protection Of American industries should
| be maiItaiped until free financial system
shall have shown it to be unnecessary to tax
| labor for the support OF capital; all internal
| revenue taxes should he dispensed with, ard
a graduated income tex substituted; we de-
maDd tie Immediate calling in and payment
OF all United States BONDS in full legal tender
money lGrest applause when this was readl
We demand an equalization of bounties for
soldiers; we Genounce all references to our
late civil war of a malicious and insulting
nature as revolutionary and wholly neon
siStent with the principles OF free govern
ment and ahtsgonistic to the restoration of
the old motto, United we stand, divided
we fall. ="
