conditions throughout the land; hun
dreas of thousands Of laborers unem.
plcyei; depression ari financial ruin
GU every hand; yet with millions Of
capital lying lille, we realize the abso-
lu,e necessity for a decided change In
the Government policy and aimiuistra-
ton: We hereby charge upon the Re-
publican party, which has controlled
the Federal Government for the last
eighteen years. the full responsibility
for this lamentable condition of Affairs,
and appeal to the people for the restor-
alton Of the Government to Democratic
hands:
Rosoire4. That the only remedy for
the combinations OF evils by which the
country is now afflicted is TO b. found
IN wise. impartial, and honest I'd.
ministration. aud the exercise OF more
rigid economy in every department Of
Government.
Rssoired, That while we favor n just
payment Of tine public debt, We demand
one currency alike for the people and
the capitalist, arl that we favor the re-
peal of the present National banking
Law.
R,aoirod, rha. she present tariff laws
are restrictive upon trade aud commerce
and therefore nr@ au impeachment rather
than an encouragement to industry.
We therefore advocate thei-. modifca-
ton or repeal, aud the substitution Of
tariff for revenue only.
Resoire9, That fraud. frst triumphant
in American politics. and unparalleled
in the history of tho world, whereby
the will of the freeman Of the Republic
WAS detied aud subverted and the de-
feaied candidate put in the Presidential
chair, shall never be ignored or condoned

Eesoista. That the Republican party
is the natural ally Of the corporations
and monopolists; hat all the attempts
To lesisltte against the discrimination
