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.
