Demands From Knights of Labor Convention at Cleveland
The Knights of Labor adopted a broad set of Congress demands including taxing land held by individuals or corporations, immediate forfeiture of lands not meeting grant conditions, abolition of private currency, and public loan offices. They urged removal of tax in land, eminent domain purchases after 1890, and a graduated income tax after 1890, plus opposition to private banking and to property qualifications for office. A petition called for abolishing National banks and establishing public loan systems to serve the people.
