About this Item

3, [1 blank] pp. Folded to 6" x 9-1/4". Near Fine. The Party sought to unite farmers and other advocates of cheap money with the industrial laboring class, in opposition to the "national bank monopoly," "railroad monopolies," "telegraph monopolies," "land monopolies," and "the concentration of vast fortunes in the hands of a few men, who now exercise dangerous influence over our free institutions and threaten the liberties of the people." Seeking to unite blacks and whites based on their common economic condition, the Party blamed Republicans and Democrats for deliberately stoking the fires of racial hatred by "appeals to sectional and race prejudice, which should not be tolerated any longer among our people." Like similar contemporary efforts to breach the Color Line, this one would fail as well. OCLC 902740866 [3- Williams, U MI, VA Hist. Soc.] as of January 2025.
