Whereas, Our Legislators, state and ma
tional, have refused, or neglected, to enact
such laws as would harmonic the interests
of capital and labor. And whereas, the ex.
listing laws tend to the pauperization and
hopeless degradation Of the toiling masses
therefore be it Resolved,
|. That we are determined as the sovcr-
eign people Of this country, state and ma
.tion, to use our power at the ballot-box,
and by SO doing, place men in authority
who will represent the interests OF the
whole people, instead OF that OF class oil
individuals.
2. Therefore, we cordially invite the in
dustrial classes, whether mechanical, agri-
cultural or commercial, who are alike SUI.
icring from vicious legislation, to cooper
ate with US for the enforcement Of tho fol-
lowing principles.
3. And be it further resolved, That as
laboring men, we ignore party, and meet on
common platform, for the common good,
and laying aside our old party preiudlces,
We will concentrate our efforts, until blind
justice, with scales equally poised aud
sword uplifted, shall stand in high places,
the arbriter OF the peoples rights.
/. And II is further resolved that we are
in favor OF wise and judicious, system OF
legislation, in enarting, and enforcing,
such laws as will bear equally upon capital
and labor, holding in check those grasping
monopolies which arc crushing the life out
Of the toiling masses, and Sapping the very
foundations OF our free institutions,
o. That we are in favor OF abolishing the
existing useless system OF County Courts,
extending the jurisdiction Of Justices, and
increasing the number OF terms OF the Cir
cult Court.
9. That We are in favor Of abolishing the
present system Of collecting taxes by the
SherifIs, ard instead thereof have County
treasury, where taxpayers may pay their
taxes in semi-annual installments, and
thereby save to the people thousands OF
dollars.
Z. That We Rre in favor Of placing our
public school system beyond the reach Of
party manipulation, and designing polit-
clans.
8. That we favor an annual Rppropria-
ton by Congress to hid worthy citizens to
settle on the vacant lands OF the West, In.
stead Of giving thom to monopolles. That
this be done by q loan OF money at a low
rate OF interest, and 80 secured that its re-
