add to the present law such stringent pro-
visions as would make it difficult for that cor
poration to practice any of those acts which
all knew, from experience in the United
States, had been practiced.

National Greenback- Labor Convention.
MAsHINGrON. Jam. q.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.
We have reached a crisis in our country's
history, and an epoch in human affairs. Our
Government, which was designed for the po-
litical veal of mankind, has passed under
the control of bankers, stock iobbers, land
grabbers, and professional politicians, to the
exclusion of those whose labor produces its
wealth and pays its taxes. The constitu-
tional rights of the people are denied or
usurped by the money power. The fruits OF
productive enterprise are grasped by cor
porate monOpolies. The large share of accu-
mulated wealth and undeveloped resources of
the Nation are concentrated in the hands of
a small class, and all property interest in the
stability OF our institutions on the part of a
large majority of the voters is dissipated.
Usurious interest and enforced idleness have
filled the land with pauperism, crime ard
misery, and the air is ominous with murmurs
of discomfort. The very foundation Of pop
ular government are questioned and assailed,
and the Republic itself is in imminent peril,
The people Of the District of Columbia, con-
tanning a population OF 100000 souls, have
been by the act of Congress wholly disfran-
chised, and laws have been enacted In various
States TO curtail this sacred right of suffrage,
the very corner stone of our Republic.
Deeply impressed by the gravity of this
crisis, we cheerfully sacrifice all minor differ
ences ana unite fer the purpose OF restoring
the control of the Government to the whole
people through representatives chosen by
them, uninnuenced by bribery, Intimidation
or sectional hate, recovering their complete
sovereignty over their elections, currency,
lands and lines OF internal communication,
and finally to embody in the law and enforce
the right of each iabOrer TO the result Of his
toll.
That a convention of the National Green
back-Labor party be held at Chicago, III.
the basis Of representation shall be: From
each State four delegates and four alternatet
at large, and two delegates and two alternateG
from each Congressional district and two
delegates aud two alternates from each Ter
ritory and District Of Columbia.
