Z, o denounce ne destructive TO prosperity,
and dangerous TO liberty, the action OF the
old parties In fostering and sustaining gigantic
land, railroad and money corporations ana
monopolios, invested with aud exercising
powers belonging 10 the Government, and yet
not responsible to II for the manner OF their
s. That tho Constitution, in giving Congress
the power to borrow money, to declare war,
TO raise and support armies, TO provide aud
maintain navy,'never rintendedthatt the mer
who loaned their money for an interest con
sideration should be preferred TO the soldier
and sailor who periled their lives and shed
their blood on land and sea In defense Of theii
country, and we condemn the cruel class
legislation of tho Republican party which,

soldier, has most unJustly Disseminated

representatives of the people upon an equa
footing, and taking away from committees
veto power greater than that OF the Presi

by the people. and for tho people, inst cad or
Government of the bOndhOdcrs by the bond
holders, and for the bond1Oldor5; and We do
nOunCe every attempt to stir up sectional
strife as an effort to conceal monstrous crinios
against the people.
IA. In the furtherance of these ends we ask
the cooperation of all far-minded people. We
have no quarrel with individuals, wage no wal
upon classes, but only against vicious instltu'
tiOns. We are not content TO endure further
discipline from our present actual rulers, VINO,
having dominion over money, over transporta-
tion, over land and labor, and largely over the
press and the machinery of Government, WELD
unwarrantable power over our Institutions
aud over our life and property.
