and purposes which will cost 'ue 10 guide

ENUMERArI.N OF PKINCIPLEs
first We affirm that the work # The last
twenty-one wears has been sllci, ~ to COM
mend itself To the favor Of the nation, aud
chat the fruits of the costly victories which
We have achieved through itnm.nS- difficult

Shis eeneratI"n should he transmitted undi-
n,inished tn future generations That the or
4er established and The rredu acquired should
sever lie i,rppriled. That the pen >ion> prom
tsed should he paid. That The debt Inrh

payment of every d'.l,ar thereof. That The
rUviving indusirie should be fur hAr promo
eel. and that he comlIierce already 80 great
should lie steadily encouraged.
Second-The tonsti ufinn "f the United
States II the supreme law. and not IA compact.
Ont of Confed-rated $ ares it made nation.
s9Onie powers denied the Nation, while |
others are retained hy States; hut The bound |
AIRY between the powers delegated aud those |
reserved ia to Iva determined by National aud |
cot Ivy State tribunals.
Third-The work of popular educaii ion is |
ans lett to the care of he several States. hut |
Il Is the duty of the National government to |
Std THAI work to he extent of its constitutional
ability. The intelligence of the nation is buI
che aggregate of the intelligence i" the sever
81 States, and the destiny M the Nation must
10 guided, not hy the genius of any one
State, but the average genius Of all.
-SECrARIAN SCHOOLS
Tourth-The tOnst itutiOn wisely forbids |
Congress to make any laws respecting es-
tabli-hing Of religion. but it is idle to hope
that the Nation can I've protected against the
Influence of sectarianisin while each state is
sxpOsed I" its particular domination. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution he
- amended AS TO lay some prnhbiIion upon
she Legislature of each State and t" forbid
she appropriation Of public funds TO he sup
port of >ecIarian schools.
Fifth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876
chat the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
nue should 81 discriminate as To favor Amer.
scan labor. That no further grant Of the
public domain should he made io any rail-
road or other c"rp"rati"n. That slavery hav-
sng persisted in the State. ITS twin barbaritv,
f0ivgamv. must die in the Territories. Thai |
everywhere the pro ection accorded to 4 riI- {
xen or American birth must be >pcured to |
citizens OF American adoption. That it is the l
1uty Of congress To develop aud improve our
@aier courses aud harhOrs but we insist tha' |
iIrt her subsidies TO private per-ous or c,rpOr-
a'tons must cease. That the obi cations to Ihe | .
alen who preserved is integrity the dav Of a
battle are uniimini~he bv he Use of ii cen
Years since their final victory. Their p-rpef

privilege and the sacred dutv OF the Anieri- d
