Union of Reformers Leaflet, 1850 February
This leaflet presents the result of the December 24, 1849, meeting of the Land Reformers, held in New York City. At that meeting, members called for a political convention in April to support candidates who agree with their goals, listed their four goals, and reported on progress toward them. The four goals of the Land Reformers are that public land be given to settlers instead of being sold, that limits be placed on the quantity of land held by an individual, that homesteads be exempt from sale for debt, and that work days should be ten hours. It is signed in type by William V. Barr, John Windt, and Egbert S. Manning.
