We demand the abolition of national banks, and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on i cash system; regulating the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business interests of the country expand; and that the money issued by the government shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private. 2! We demand that Congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productionsjpreserving a stringent system of procedure of trial as shall secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall secure the most perfect compliance with the law. 3. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver. 4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting the alien ownership of land, end that Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of such as is actually used and needed by them be reclaimed by the Government and held for actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of “equal rights to all and special privileges to none,” we demand that taxation, national ana State, shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all revenues, national, state or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of thd Government economically and honestly administered. 6. That Congress issue a sufficient am’t of fractional paper currency to facilitate exchange through the medium of the United States mail. 7. That the means of communication and transportation shall be owned by and operated in the interests of the people, as is the United States postal system. These demands ana principles should be studied by all members of the Alliance, and should be read and discussed at their meetings. ■ MB • The following goods, worth double the price, for a challenge: Cotton Flannels, 5 cents per yard.
