We oppose the issuance of bonds and bank currency. “We are unalterably opposed to increasing our already great burden of national debt by the issue of interest bearing bonds in times of peace and we deplore and condemn the recent action of the present administration at Washington, aided and abetted by the republican party, not only for selling our national credit at a price below its market value, but especially for surrendering to the Rothschilds and other bankers our financial independence for six months bv a secret contract, the infamy of which is without parallel in our history. “That we demand the initiative and referendum in all important matters of municipal and state legislation.” “That we denounce the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in reference to the income tax law and the imprisonment of American citizens without trial by jury,” “On these cardinal principles of our party we invite the cooperation of all persons and organized bodies believing in the principles herein set forth to join us in the campaign of 1896.” A plan of organization was agreed on by which state and district organizations will act under authority from the state committee.
