ditional repeal of the act of congress Of

sumption act; holding the same to be
Iunwise and ruinous to the interests
Il the people.
2. The policy inaugursted and
aaintained by the republican party
contracting the active circulating
aedium of the country, constituting,
8 all admit it does the standard Of
be value of the property and pro-
iucts of the country, and regulating
well, the prices paid for all labor,
stands preeminent, al the most stupid,
/ ,excusable and oppressive of them

people of the Mississippi
valley demands that apprcpria.
TORS should be made for the improve,
ment Of the Missisippi river and its
tributaries commensurate with tho
commercial wants and interests or

iieving In the constitutional power of
the government to aid in the con-
struction of national enterprises which
serve to benefit large sections of the
country, and which cannot be accom-
piished by individual enterprise or
state action we favor such legislation

the reduction of expenditures and
taxes the dismissal Of unnecessary

vidual rights, arising under the Law
Of the states, tends to oppress aId
burden litigants to such an extent
as to amount to . practical deaisl d
Justice in many cases, and We cos'
slider the legislation which has confer.
red such Jurisdiction rs unwise and
hurtful TO the true interests OF the
people, and we demand such legisla.
ton as will restrict and limit the juris
diction of such courts to such matter,
as are clearly contemplated by th.
constitution and expressed In th'
judiciary act Of 1889.
IS. We favor and invite immigrs'
ton to our state from ell sections d
the country.
