SHAW, GEORGE BROWN- 11. W. THOMAS, N. W. WALDRON, MILTON LOOMIS, C. L. SQUIRES. Resolutions Passed by the Greenback Convention. The Committee on Resolutions made the following report : That we heartily indorse the Platform of Principles adopted by the National Greenback Labor Party at Chicago in June 1880, which is here with appended. We believe Ist, That opposition to ail monopolies is so clearly expressed in that platform and so strongly emphasized by the acts of onr party leaders in Congress as to win the confidence of all those who are honestly opposed to the reign of monop olies; and renders any fusion of the Na tional Greenback Labor party with any other organization, or changing name unwise and unnecessary, 2nd, Our thanks are due to Gen. J. B. Weaver for the valuable service he is Tendering to the cause of right principles and good government. Bril. That the Democratic and Repub lican parties have abandoned those prin ciples upon which our government was founded; and by legislating for monopo lies instead of the people have destroyed all right to claim the support of the peo ple whom they have betrayed. 4th, We pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure the election of the nominees of this convention. A. M. Morr, Chairman of Committee. NATIONAL GREENBACK PLATFORM AL'Ol'TKd BY THE NATIONAL CONVENTION HELD AT CHICAGO, 15KG1NNINC. JUNE !>, 1880. Civil gevernnient should guarantee the divine right of every laborer to the re sults of his toil, thus enabling the produ cers of wealth to provide themselves with the means of physical comfort, and the faciltu's for mental, social and mor al culture; and we condemn as unworthy our civilization, the barbarism which im poses upon the wealth-producers a state of perpetual drudgery as the price of bare animal existance. Notwithstanding the enormous increase of productive power, the universal intro duction of labor-saving machinery, and the discovery of new agents for tne in crease of wealth, the task of the laborer is scarcely lightened, the hours of toil are but little shortened, and few produ cers are lifted from poverty into comfort and pecuniary independence. The associated monopolies, the inter national syndicates and other income classes demand dear money and cheap la bor, a "strong government, *' and hence a weak people. Corporate control of the volume of money has been the means of dividing society into hostile classes; of the un just distribution of the products of labor and of building up monopolies of associ ated capital, endowed with power to con fiscate private property. It has kept money scarce, and scarcity of money en forces debt-trade and public corporate loans —debt engenders usury and usury ends in the bankruptcy of the borrower. Other results tire deranged markets, uncertainty in manufacturing enterprise and precarious and intermit tent employment for the laborer, indus trial war, increasing pauperism and crime and the consequent intimida tion'and disfranchisement of the produ cer and a rapid declension into corporate feudalism. Therefore, we declare— 1. That the right to make and issue money is a sovereign power to be main taiued bv tlie people for tlie common ben efit. The delegation of this right to cor porations is a surrender ol fhe central attribute of sovereignty, void of constitu tional sanction, conferring upon a subor dinate, irresistible power, absolute do minion over industry and commerce. All money, whether metalic or paper, should be issued and its volume controlled by the government and not by or through the banking corporations, and when so issued, should be u full legal tender for all debts, public and private. 2. That the bonds of the United States should not be refunded, but paid as rap idly as is practicable, according to con tract. To enable the government to meet these obligations, legal-tender cur rency should ba substituted for the notes of the national banks, the national bank ing system abolished and the unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold estab lished by law. 3. That labor should be so protected by national and State authority as to equal ize its burdens and insure a just distribu tion or its results; the eight hour law of Congress should be enforced; the sanita ry condition of industrial establishments placed under rigid control; the competi tion of contract convict labor abolished; a bureau of labor statistics established; factories, mines and workshops inspect ed; the employment of children under 14 years of age forbidden, and wages paid in cash. 4. Slavery beiug simply cheap labor and cheap labor being simyly slavery, the importation and presence of Chinese serfs necessarily tends to brutalize and degrade American labor; therefore, im mediate steps should be taken to abrogate the Jiurlingame treaty. r>. Railroad land grants forfeited by reason of non-fulfillment of contract should bo immediately reclaimed by the government; and henceforth the public domain reserved exclusively as homes for actual settlers. (!. It, is the duty of Congress to regu late inter-State commerce. All lines of communication and transportation should be brought under legislative control as shall secure moderte, fair and uniform rates for passenger and freight traffic. 7. We denounce as destructive to pros perity and dangerous to liberty the ac tion of Ihe old parties in fostering and sustaining gigantic land, railroad and money corporations and monopolies in vested with and exercising powers be longing to the government, and yet not responsible to it for the manner of their exercises. 8. That the constitution, in giving Con gress the power to borrow money, to de clare war, to raise and support armies, to provide and maintain a navy, never in tended that the men who loaned their money for en interest consideration should be preferred to the soldier and sailor who periled their lives and shed their blood on land and sea in defense of their country, and we condemn the cruel class legislation ot the Republican party which, while professing great gratitude for the soldier, has most unjustly dis criminated against him and in favor of the bondholder. 0. All property should bear its just pro portion of taxation, and Ave demand a graduated income-tax. 10. We denounce as most dangerous the efforts everywhere manifest to re strict t he right of suffrage. 11. We are opposed to an increase of the standing army in time of peace and the insidious scheme to establish an enormour military power under the guise of militia laws. 12. We demand absolute democratic rules for the government of Congress, placing all representatives of the people upon an equal footing and taking away from committees a veto power greater than that of the President. 1:5. We demand a government of the people, by the people and for the people instead of a government of the bond holders, by the bondholders and for the bondholder; and we denounce every at tempt to stir up sectional strife as an effort to conceal monstrous crimes agsinst the people. 14. In the furtherance of these ends we ask the co-operation of all fair-minded people. We have no quarrel Avith indi viduals, wage no war upon classes, but only against vicious institutions. We are not content to endure further dis cipline from our present actual rulers, who having dominion over money, over transportation, over land, labor and large ly over the press and machinery of gover meut, wielcl unwarrantable power over our institutions, and over life and proper tv.
