First-that it is uncompromisngly opposed to
free trade in whatever disguise presented; un
changeably devoted to home industry. and here
by avows its special and direct hostility to the

Fourth--that the public lands belong to the
people, and should be reserved exclusively for
actual settlers, so that industries may be
couraged TO enter upon and occupy them.
Fifth-that we are now, as ever. opposed to the
payment ofclaims, from the national treasury,
to those lately engaged in, or lsympathizing
with the rebellion No conquerer should be
forced to pay indemnify TO the conquered; and
the presentation OF bills demanding the eXpend-

reprisals on tax payers for losses which the
crime of treason brought upon the southern peo-
pie. '.'--.

preston of many leading trade interests of the
state and country, resulting largely, 1T Is be-
