of al raining that end, we hold it to be the duty

cost of Coinage and for the benefit of the pro

the bill reported by the tonlfnittee on Mines
aud Mining and now before he House of Rep
resentativeS, prohibiting the following of ti>
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
Of surface boundaries. and We urge upon our

it to be the right and duty of - ate and Terri

the constitutional right than the positive duty
of Congress to regul late the tariffs and restrict
the charges of inter State railroads..
Resolved, That while we congratulate the
on the successful re>uup ion of spe-
Gle payments and the splendid financial con-
dition of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
strcting the issuance of National and State
legal tender notes 10 denominations of not less
than i've dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand as circulating medium for
the precious metals which our mines are an
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur. by their services to
their country, bv their devotion to principle. !
and by their unspotted reputa alton nlen and
