nection with the ''good old Democratic party
1 which he decla. ed he had left because that
party, under the leadership of the Belmonts.
the Goulds and the Tildenz, had bowed down
to the golden calf. There was no difference il
the two old parties and financial reform had tC
be looked for through the bone and sinew of
! the land. The country was on the verge OF
ruin, but, thank God, the noble workingmen
the producers of the country. were buckling or
i they proposed to stand by their colors unit
this country was in fact the '.land Of the fret
and the home of the brave.' Mr.. Grazing ther
/ briefly reviewed the histories Of parties for tn.
past twenty-five years, from which he drew al
exceedingly glowing picture. He used to b,
Z. sage Of the damnable laws in the interest q
the rich man and against the poor man, durin,
the last twenty years, he had nothing but sor
j row for his country.
The committee on resolutions having com
in, they submitted their reEort through Hon
! G. S. Powers, of Fillmore, as. follows:
1. We, the delegates assembled pursuant to cal
at State National Greenback Labor conven
tion held IN the city Of ST. Paul. on Tues lay, ,th
10th day aof June, A.. d. 1879, do adopt th
following declaration of p: inciples and policy
First-We are in favor of the immediate an,
unconditional repeal of the act of 1859, falsel
entitled "An act to strengthen the public cred
y it" believing that was an unnecessary, dis
honest and radical change of the original con
tract between the debtor and creditor classes
: an act of robbery of hundreds of millions Q
g dollars from the people for the benefit q
, American and European bondholders, and on
that was intended to perpetuate the nations
debt for all time; we therefore demand that a
, ! the bonds due by the government be paid il
strict accordance with tie letter and spirit q
eI the original terms on which they were issued
and that all the four, and four and q half pe
cent, and all other bonds issued since the pas,
=, age Of that act; on long time, subject as undei
], | stood to all the contingencies Z
4 Isubsequent legislation, be immediatel
tE paid il, non-interest bearing full leg,
E tender currency.
@ Second-We are in favcr of the free and u,
f | restricted coinage Of silver, upon the san
9 terms and conditions as gold, and its restor
e ton as full legal tender for all debts, pul
lie and private. 80
!. Third-We demand the immediate repeal /
8 the resum ption law, believing that it passat
: at the time was an infamous sin and Grin
ii against the debtor classes, whose obligation
/, contracted in good faith and on current
. basis, were thus more than doubled, while q
