accustomed TO the traditions of a progressive
civilization nor exercised in liberty under equal
laws. We denounce the policy which thus
discards the libertv-loving German and tole-
rates the revival of the coolie trade in Mon
goan men, hired to perform servile labor
contracts, and demand such modification of
the treaty with the Chinese Empire or such
legislation by Congress within a constitutional
| limitation, as to prevent the further importa-
ton of immigration of the Mongolian race.

issues With which thc oaice.hollinp class and
the partv in mower seek to smother it; the false
issue with which they would enkndle sectarian
strife in regard to public schools, of which the
establishment and support belonging exclu-
sively to the several States and which the Dem
ocratic party has cherished from their iounda-
tion, and resolved to maintain without par
TALLY or preference for any class, sect or CT eed
and without contributing from the treasury to
anv; the false issue of which they seek to
| light anew the dying embers of sectional hate
between kindred peoples, once unnaturally es-
tranged, but now reunited in one indlvlslble
republic and common destiny.
