Believing in the doctrine of “equal rights to all and special priv- ileges to none,” we dreamed that taxation, national or state, shall not be used to build up one interest 01 class at the expense of another. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all reve nues, National, State or county shull be limited to the necessary expenses of the Government economically and honestly administered. 9. | | | 5 That Congress issue # suflici- ent amount of fractional paper cur rency to facilitate exchange through the medium of the United States mail. 7.

Tam in favor of demand one concerning national banks. 2. Tam in favor of demand two concerning dealing in futures. 3. Tam in favor of demand three for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. 4. Iam in favor of demand four, concerning alien ownership of land grants to railroads. 5. Tam in favor of demand five, for “equal rights to all and special privileges to none,” and for keeping the peoples’ money in the peoples lands, by limiting taxes and expenses tothe needs of the government econo ally administered. | aquande | control, national bank notes ean be drawn by the bank aud upon this $900 one! | per cent, or 89 must be paid to the} notes has shall be operated in the interest of | To become owner of the | means of communication and trans- the people portation, the government would have to pile a mountain of debt upon | groaning juities of the people who are now un det tl ted ini unjust and oppressive tariff taxation, imposed, continued and increased in itter disregard to the “equal rights to all aud special priv- ileges ty ne I believe we ought to get vid of our bonded debt, with ciple pra 1 ne its interests exactions, as speedily as possible, instead of swelling bill higher by embarking in the danger ous field of railroad buyi building.

The result is, that as} in Clinton, and Windsor and other places, people organize State banks instead of National banks. Of the four banks in Clinton, but one is a National bank. The one organized | there a few months since isa State bank, not because it might not have been a National bank, but because its promoters believed they could do better under the State law. Less than a year ago the Butler Na- tional bank, of Butler, Mo. volun- tarily surrendered its charter and at once reorganized asa State bank, because it thought that the change would be beneticial.
