lie school system, the taxation of all for its
support, and no division of the echool fund.

ernment there should be no connection. di-
rect or indirect. between the Church and
the State, and We oppose all legislation in
the interest of any particular Sect Upon
this subject We should not fail to profit by
the experience of foreign governments,
where the efforts of the Church to control
the State constitute an evil of great mag
nitude and endanger the power and pros
peritv of the people.
g. We demand such revision of the patent
laws as will relieve industry from the op-
preston Of monopolies.

remember the services of our soldiers and
sailors, and it is due to them that Eberality
and generosity should be obtained in the
adjustment of pay and bOunties.

shall be scrupulously reserved for oc-
cupancy by actual settlers.
9. The determination of the government
to collect the revenue and prevent and
punish frauds has our unqualified approba-
ton.
10. That the powers of municipal corpo-
rations TO create debts should be restricted,
and local and other expenditures should be
so reduced as to diminish taxation.
IL. The observance of Washington's ex
ample in retiring at the close of second
presidential term will be in the future, as it
has been in the past, regarded as funda-
mental rule in the unwritten law of the
republic.
-. The distinguished success of his ad-
ministration, which, to the fame of the
patriot and soldier. has added that of
the capable and judicious statesman, en-
titles President Grant to the gratitude of
his cOuntrymen.
