The "Xational Tarty."
At Toledo, Ohio, on the 22d Inst.,
the new party met in Convention and
adopted the following :
PLATFORM.
Whereas, Throughout our entire
country the value of rcnl estnte is dc
preeinted, industry pnrnlyzed, trade
depressed, business, Incomes nud
wnges reduced, unparalleled distress
inflicted upon the peiorer and middle
ranks of our people, the land filled
with fraud, embezzlement, bank
ruptcy, crime, suffering, pauperism
anil starvation ; nnd,
Whereas, This state of things has
been brought about by legislation in
the Interest of and dictated by money,
lenders, bankers, and bondholders;
and,
Whereas, While we recognize the
fact thnt men in Congress connected
with both the old political parties
have stood up manfully for the rights
of the people, and met the threats of
the money-power nnd the ridicule of
nn ignorant and subsidized press; yet,
neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic party in their National jKiIicies
propose remedies for theexisllng evils;
nnd.
Whereas, The Independent Green
back party, nnd other associations
more or less effective, have been una
ble hitherto to make a formidable op
position to the old party organiza'ions;
and,
Whereas, The limiting of the
legal tender quality of greenbacks, the
changing of currency bonds into coin
bonds, the demonetization of the silver
dollar, the excepting of bonds from
taxation, the contraction of the circu
lating medium, the proposed forced re
sumption of specie payments, aiiifthe
prodigal waste of the public lands,
were crimes against the people, and as
far ns possible the results of these
criminal acts must be counteracted by
judicious legislation. Therefore, w'e
assemble in National Convention nnd
make a declaration of our principles,
nnd invite nil patrictic citizens to
unite in nn cllbit to secure financial
reform and industrial emancipation.
The organization shall be known us
the "National party," nnd under this
name we will perfect, without delay.
National State and Local Associations,
to secure the election to office of such
men omy as will pledge themselves to
do ad in their power to establish these
principles.
1. It is the exclusive function of
the General Government to coin and
create money and rejruiate itsvauie;
alt baniv issues designed to circulate
as money should be suppressed; the
circulating medium whether of metal
or paper, shall be issued by the Gov
ernment and made full legal tender
tor ail debts, duties and taxes in the
United Stales ut its stamped value
2. There shall bo 110 privileged
class of creditors; official salaries,
pensions, bonds, and all other debts
and obligations, public and private,
shall be discharged in the legal-tender
money ol the United Slates, strictly
according to the stipulations of the
Laws under which tliev were con
tracted. 3. That the coinage of silver be
pi need tin the same footing as that 01
gold.
4. Congress shall provide said
money adequate to the foil employ
ment of labor, the equitable distribu
tion of it?) products and the require
ments of business, fixing a minimum
amount per capita to the population as
near as maybe, and otherwise regulat
ing its value by wise nnd equitable
provisions, of law, so that the late 01
interest will secuic to labor its just re
ward. 5. It is inconsistent withti c genius
and spirit of popular Goveriiinciitlhat
any species of private pioperty should
he exempt lroni bearing iis jutt share
of the public burdens; Government
bonds and money should be taxed
precisely as other property, nnd a
graduated income tax should be levied
or the support of Government and
the payments of its debts.
0. 'the public lands nre the com
mon properly of the whole people,
and should not be sold to speculators
nor granted to raiiroads or oilier cor
porations, but should be donated to
actual settlers in limited quantities.
7. The Government should by gen
eral enactments encourage the de
velopment o.'ourugricuiturul, mineral,
mechanical, manufacturing and com
mercial resources to the end that labor
may be fully and profitably employed,
but no monoplies biiould be legalized.
8. All usele-ss eillices should be
abolished; the most rigid economy
favoreei in every branch of the public
service, nnd severe punishments in
flicted upon public officers wiio betray
the trusts reposed in them.
9. As educated labor has devised
means for multiplying the productions
by inventions uud discoveries, and
their use require-" the exercise 01
mind, us well us body, such legisla
tion should be had that the number ol
hours of daily toil will be reduced,
giving to the working classes more
leisure for mental improvement and
social enjoyment, mid saving them
from premature de-cay and deal h.
10. The adoption of tin American
monetary system, as proposed herein,
will harmonize alidiflerence in regard
to tariU'nnd Federal taxation, reduce
and equalize the cost of transportation
by land and water, distribute equita
bly the joint earnings of capital and
labor, secure to the producers ol
wealth the results of their labor and
skill, muster out of service the vast
army of idlers who, under the existing
system, grow rich iixin the earnings
of others; that every man and woman
may, by their own efforts, secure a
competence, so that overgrown for
tunes and extreme poverty will be sel
dom found within the limits of our re
public. U. Both National and State Gov
ernments should establish Bureaus 01
Labor and Industrial Statisth-b.
clothed with the iower of gathering
nnd publishing the same.
12. 'i'Lat the contract svstem of
employing laborers in our prisons and
retormuteiry institutions works great
injustice to our mechanics and arti
sans, and should be prohibited.
J. i be importation or servile labor
intothe United States from China is a
problem of the most serious imiKirt-
ance, and we recommend legislation
looking to its suppression.
Chief of.Pejlice Breen, of Virginia
City, Nevada, has been arrested,
charged with having liberated a
Chinaman in his custody on a charge
of murder and put a paid Chinese sub
stitute in place of the prUoner. The
substitution was discovered by a rela
tive of the man murdered by the pris
oner, the latter having been fully iden
tified by the same man at the time of
the arrest.

HteiiiWAY RonmouY. From the
Reynoldsville JIcraM, of, the 12th
Inst., we glean the following particu
lars of n daring highway robbery com
mitted on Sunday mornrng, the 10th
hist., in the woods near Kramer City,
the new oil town in Jcfl'crson county,
near the Clearfield county line. Mr.
Wolf, an operator, left Reynoldsville
early on the morning of the 10th inst..
.''or Kramer City, and when in the
woods above alluded to, he was nie-t
by a man who demanded his money.
Mr. Wolf nt first declined to hand over
his purse, but, after a short struggle,
lie was forced to hand over his purse,
which contained one hundred ami
twenty-five elollars, and he was then
allowed to go on his way. Mr. W.
was pretty roughly handled, but was
not injured to any extent. The rob
ber Is unknown.

do without it. 1 must here relate nn anec
dote ol your vnlunlile Golden Itell f. In the
tall of l-.li, in J 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 ir from mv carriiiae I
sprained my ankle anil was uniihle to walk.
An agient of Die llnll'iilu t 'on rter called at. mv
liousu ml course you know what he called for
it whs to collect my subscription i and llnd
bnr me in urent pain commenced lellbiK a
wonderful story about a most wonderful
medicine that he had found in HuJtido and
that he would no and brlni to me lor 1 ial. as
it was In his valise. I murine my surprise
when I found it was your nolden relief made
here in 1'iedonia ! 1 sent to you for n boll le,
and Biter uslinr It R few times the pa in entirely
left and a s,.eedy cure was obtained.
This uncut ol the Courier said he could not
live without It as lie wnsan almost constant
sutl'erer from NeuralKla and that It was the

So you will see that others appreciate ruur
wonderful medicine lis well us mvseif, and I
willudil that all the numerous cases where!
