Polk outlines People's party demands in Indiana address
In Inptaxapolis Indiana on November 18 President Polk opens with the gravity of the supreme council’s duty and predicts a glorious outcome if the Alliance’s power is wisely directed. He lists demands including governmental control of transportation, retention of public domain, prohibition of gambling in futures, free coinage of silver, fair taxation, direct election of senators, a graduated income tax, and abolition of the national bank to return money to the people at low interest. The speech frames the conflict as a stark class struggle and a political revolution.
