Platform platform policy and political platform excerpt
A lengthy 19th century political platform proclaims support for treasury notes over national bank notes, full legal tender for greenbacks, government issue of money, taxation of United States notes, restraint on debt funding abroad, capped interest at six percent, silver coin restoration, repeal of the resumption act, and broader financial and labor measures. It condemns political opponents and calls for pensions for soldiers. The document blends monetary reform with civil rights and education positions and ends with a lengthy verse by Elizabeth Akers Allen about loss and reunion.
