and intellectual cnlture With the rate Of
ment bonds, the national debt would be H.
quidated within lees than thirty years with
oat the imposition or collscsion Of one far
thing of taxes for that purpose. Thus 10
would dispense with the hungry hoard Of -
SCISSORS, tax-gatherers and government spies
that are now harrassing the industrial classes
and despoiling them Of their Subsistence.
We further hold that IL Is essential to the
prosperity and happiness OF the people and
the stability of our Democratic Republican
Institutions, that the public domain be dis
tributed a. widely AZ possible among the
people; land monopoly beng equally as
oppressive TO the people and dangerous to
our Institutions, AZ the present money mOa-
opoiy. To prevent this the public lands
shO~ld be sold in reasonable Quantities, and
to none but actual occupants, and to them
ct the minimum price established by the
government When grants Of the public
lands are deemed necessary for the encou-
ragement Of important public Improvements,
! the fee simple should not be conveyed, bat
| only the proceeds Of the sale thereof.
We further hold that intelligence and vir-
tue in the sovereignty are necessary 10 q

our institutions are founded upon the theory
Of sovereignty in lhe people, in order TO
their preservation and perpetuity, il 10 the
imperative duty Of Congress to make such
wise and just regulations NJ shall afford sll
the means Of acquiring the knowledge requi-
site 70 the intelligent exercise Of the privi-
leges and duties pertaining to sovereign ty
and that Congress should ordain that eight
hours labor between the rising and setting
Of the sun should constitute days work
in all Government works and places where
the National Government has exclusive ju-
risdiction, and that it IL equally imperative
on the several States to make light provision
by legal enactment. Be 1t therefore unani

Resolved, That our first duty is now TO pro
vide as speedily az possible system of genera

sach restraint az may be necessary to placs
each organization within line, 80 a. to aet il
harmony in all matters pertaining to the vel
fare of the whole as well rs each of the parts
and that il Is the imperative duty Of every maj
in each and every branch Of industry 70 aid Il
the formation of such labor organisations in hi

COOPERATIVE.
Resolved, That in cooperation, based upoI
ust financial and revenue laws, we recognise
sure and lasting remedy for the abuse of tn
present industrial system, and that until tn
laws of the nation can be remodelled 90 as h
recognize the rights of men instead OF ciassef
the system of cooperation carefully guarde'
, will do much TO lessen the evils of our presen
system We, therefore, hail with delight tn
organization Of cooperative stores and work
shops, and would urge their formation in ever
