The unders gned join in a call for aNational
| delegate convention, which will he held in
Chicago on the 4th day of july 1855 for the
purpose OF organizing d new political party to
espouse the cause of legitimate industry in
the lrrepreSsIble conflict already entered upon
between the confederated monopolieS and the
people
All who favor the restriction of the power
of corporations, the holding of the public
lands for actual settlers, the suppression of
gambling in the necessities of life, and of
combinations which fix prices against the
natural laws of trade, the destruction of legal
rights in vested wrongs. and the overthrow of
all monopolies and of all systems and laws
made in the interest of the few and against
the many; al who oppose the control of the
currency by banks OF issue, and the taxation
of all industry for the benefit of favored en-
terprlseS under the guiSe of a protective
tariff; all who favor the election of the Presi-
dent and I'm ted States Senator's by direct
vote of the peOple-all who favor simple and
just government as against that whichis COM
pick and corrupt-are invited to choose dele
gates to represent them in the conference, the
basis OF representation being four delegates
for the District of Columbia, four for each
Territory, and four for each Congressional
district in the United States.
Believing that crisis, forced by the power
of organized greed, is approaching. not alone
IN our National affairs, but in civilization
itself, we appeal to the freemen of America to
organize themselves anew to stand as they
ana their fathers have stool before, for the
rights of man and the dignity of human ma
ture.
