assembled, srarafarmin the cardinal
princip pSs sths5r 5tganization, which
have become the received maxims of
policy-State and national-declare on
specific points the series of sentiments
following:i1. The States nre one as a
nation, and all citizens are equal under
the laws, and entitled to their fullest
protection. 2. That policy of finance
should be steadily pursued which, with
out unnecessary shock TO business or
trade, will ultimately equalize the pur-
chasing capacity of the coin and the
paper dollar. 8. We are in favor Of q
tariff for revenue, with incidental pro-
lection to American industry. 4. We
stand by free education, our public
school system, the taxation Of all for its
support, and no division of the school
fund s. Under our republican system
OF government tiiore should be no con-
vention, direct or indirect, between
church and State, and we oppose oil
legislation in the interest Of any particu-
lar scot. Upon this subject We should
not fail to profit by the experience of To-
reign Governments, where efforts of the
CHURCH to control the State constitute an
evilref great magnitude, and endangers
the power and prosperity of the people.
=. We demand such o revision of the
patent laws as will relieve industry from
the oppression of monopolies. z. A
gratlted people can never cease to re-
member the services of our soldiers and
sailors, and it is due to them that libe-
rality and generosity should obtain in
the adjustment of pay and bounties. g.
We demand that the public demain shall
