NEW YORK. 



for the action of all patriots to elect Congressmen on 

 this issue. 



2. We believe that United States notes issued di- 

 rectly by the Government and convertible on demand 

 into United States obligations, bearing an equitable 

 rate of interest not exceeding 1 cent a day on each 

 $100, and interchangeable vrith United States notes 

 at par, will afford the best circulating medium ever 

 devised. Such United States notes should be a full 

 legal tender for all purposes except the payment of 

 such obligations as are by existing contracts expressly 

 made payable in coin ; and we hold it to be_ the duty 

 of the Government to provide such circulating medi- 

 um, and insist, in the language of Jefferson, " that 

 bank paper must be suppressed and circulation re- 

 stored to the nation to whom it belongs." 



3. The permanent duty of the Government is to 

 legislate for the full development of all legitimate 

 business. 



4. We protest against the further issue of gold 

 bonds for foreign market sales. 



5. We also protest against the sale of Government 

 bonds to buy silver as a substitute for paper currency. 



The election resulted in the success of the 

 Democratic ticket. The vote was as follows : 



SECRETARY OF STATE. 



4. We oppose the granting of public lands to rail- 

 road corporations, and favor their distribution to 

 actual settlers, with such Government aid as may be 

 necessary to occupy and improve them, taking a lien 

 upon the land as security for the same, to be paid in 

 annual installments in a period of ten years. 



5. Assessments upon taxable property made on 

 the cumulative principle, increasing the rates ac- 

 cording to the amount of property actually owned, 

 with just discrimination against unproductive prop- 

 erty. 



6. Gratuitous administration of justice in all courts 

 of law. 



7. The establishment of a bureau of labor statis- 

 tics by the State as well as by the National Govern- 

 ment, the officers of these bureaus to be taken from 

 the ranks of labor. 



8. We favor the abolishment of the contract sys- 

 tem in the prisons and reformatory institutions of 

 the State as soon as practicable, the said institutions 

 to be managed in the interests of the people, and the 

 goods manufactured therein to be sold at no less 

 than the market rates. 



9. We believe the public good demands, and the 

 business interests, as well as the welfare of produc- 

 ers and consumers, require, that railroad lines of 

 communication should be under the control and 

 management of the State through which they pass, 



and that the transportation of freight and passengers Allen C. Beach (Democrat) 838,062
