ADDRESS OF THE GREENBACK LAEoR PARTY.
The representatives of the Greerback
Labor party in the Forty-seventh congress
have issued an address to the country, of
which the following are the principal fea-
lures:
The word National" covers all the bene-
fits resulting from the union of the states,
but very few of its advantages can be en-
ployed, unless there is perfect harmony
and fraternal and good feeling among all
classes in all sections of the country, which
is not the case now. The forty years of
controversy over sectional issues
still controls the minds and hearts
of the majority of the people,
and will, while parties representing preju
dice associated with their names, continue
to exist. The Greenback Labor party is fres
from all prejudice, because the questions it
represents relate to the present and future
welfare of the whole people, and under its
banner all can unite without regard to
their relation to the late war, their religion
or their past condition.
Money should be equal to the require
ments of business on cash basis. The
people are now doing business on seven
dollars credit to one dollar in money and
panic must follow in this case, as in all
preceding ones of like character. We
hold that the government can issue paper
| money in time of peace as well as war,
and it should do so if the necessity of the
people require such action.
Money issued and used to build monu-
ments of peace, thereby giving employ
ment to labor, would produce more lasting
and beneficial results than money expend-
| ed in war and destruction of property, to
| relieve the present manifest necessities of
! the people and the requirements of the
| government, to prevent panics and pre-
clude their recurrence. We hold that
| the money now in the treasury should
| be Immediately used in payment
of ell outstanding interest bearing obliga-
| tions now due, or payable at the option of
! the government, and that the additional
amount of full legal tender notes should
be issued for any of the purposes for which
the government requires money, until the
peoples representatives in congress decide
| its volume is equal to the demands of bus
iness, and the permanent welfare of the
people, And we further hold that all
| legal tender notes or other government
obligations hereafter used and en-
tering into use as money should
never be funded into interest bearing
bonds, but always remain as circulating
medium.
The address then declares that the late
congress has devoted weeks to the discus
sion of the tariff and internal revenue
measures, under pretense of giving relief
to the people, while it has perpetuated
the financial system which makes relief
| impossible, and has wasted much time in
| appeals to sectional feeling, which should
have been devoted to legitimate legisla-
ton. The address is signed by Messrs.
Burrows, Jones, Rice, Ford, Hazeltine.
Brumm and Cook.
