THE PLATFORM.
WHEREAS, The great struggle now raging
between labor and capital has made 1t clear
to those who are unprejudceG and will take
the trouble TO think for themselves, that
monopolies and corporate powers have
through unjust legislation become possessed
Of great and dangerous prerogatives, which
seriously threaten the very existence of free
or Democratic institutions, and believing In
the language of Abraham Lincoln that labor
is prior to and independent of capital, that
capital is only the fruit of labor and could
never have existance If labor had not first
existed, and that labor is the superior OF
| capital and deserves much the highest con-
| sideration, we therefore in his words, affirm
| it as our conviction, that class law placing
capital above labor endangers the Republic
more fatally than did chatal labor In the
the days of Its haughtiest supremacy. There
| fore, be 1t
| ResotUed. That we the Greenbaekers Of.
| the State of Delaware In State Convention
assembled do most heartily sympathize with
all who labor, and will join issue with those
who are willing TO accord justice in securing
such legislation as will put labor on an
equality with capital securing its rights by
| fullest protection of law.
RESOLVED, That the great elements of
nature, land, water, air, light are free gifts
| of the Creator and no corporation or indi-
| vidual has just right to monopOlize any

who are now deprived of the possibilities OF
securing homes. We ask OF the Govern
lment to exercise the power which belongs
to IL to repossess all lands granted to rail-
roads which have been forfeited by nonful-
fillment of their contracts, and that such
land be held sacred for the use ofthe people.
Resolved, That this Government having
the supreme power to issue and regulate
our currency, should assume full control Of
our monetary system and issue uniform
currency without the intervention OF banks
which should be a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private. We demand the
uayment OF our national bonded indebted
ness as soon as legislation to that end car
be secured, and believing that the bond sys-
tenn is admirably calculated to deffaud the
many with interests Of the few, we shal
strenuously oppose the creation of all fur
, ther issues of United States bonds.
