confidence and respect of the American
people.
Rescued, That the Republican par
ty has at all times been, and still is,
the friend and protector of labor, and as
such considers the advent Of the Chinese
into this country dangerous and inimical
to the deserved success and prosperity
of American laborers, and still pledges
itself to advocate and favor such line
of policy as will protect and foster the
ikerests Of labor, and while the recent
law Of Congress restricting the immigra-
ton of the Chinese has approved itself
to the people, we demand that it be
supplemented by such further legislation
as may not only be necessary to attain
the object in view, but also to prohibit
the wholesale importation of persons
on contracts Of labor from any country.
Resoi0ed, That in view Of the in
ceeased prosperity or the people at
large, in great degree consequent up
on the wise and settled policy of the
Government, we deem it unwise and
impolitic at present to attempt any
SHdllSC III lHC lCNCIuC anu laws
now in force.
ReSoIVed, That the reduction of du-
ties on imported woods, made by the
Act Of Congress passed in March, 1883,
resulted in paralyzing the business of
wool growing in the United States and
in transferring the sane to foreign ma
tons, and we demand the restoration of
the wool tariff of 1867 at the earliest
possible moment.
ReSOf0ed, That gold and silver have
co.existed and formed the monetary cir
culation of the world since the origin of
human society, that the agitation against
silver threatening to destroy its value
and use as money is a blunder and a
crime, which can only result in destruc-
ton OF values without any compensation
doubling The purchasing power of gold
for the exclusive benefit of the interest
bearing capital of the country at the ex-
pense of bread winners, diminishing
their wages, and injuring the producing
and taxpaylng classes. We declare that
silver being silver being a product of
our labor and capital as we'll as gold,
its demonstration is unnecessary, un-
wise, unjust and pernicilous, and that
the present law ordaining the coinage
of silver, as full legal tender should
be left undiSturbed.
ResofOed, That we demand of Con-
gress the exercise OF all its constitution
al power for the speedy suppression of
polygamy in the Territory of Utah.
Resof1ed, That we demand that ev-
cry citizen shall be projected in his
constitutional right 10 cast a free ballot
and have it honestly counted.
Rescued, That we approve of all
legislation which tends to promote fidel-
ity AID efficiency in the civil service of
the country.
ResOfVed, That we renew our de-
mand for the establishment by the Gen
erpl Government of postal telegraph
service.
ReSof0ed, That the great act by the
Republican party OF the emancipation
of the people Of Ar lean descent, PEG.
pie held for century in the bondage Of
slavery and ignorance, has imposed
solemn obligation upon the National
Government to aid in The cost CT educat-
ing the freedmen and their children so
that they shall become fit to discharge
the duties of American citizenship.
Resoi0ea, That monopolies Cypress
ing the people, or unfairly discrlminat-
ing against them, are wrong in principle
and should not be tolerated. To that
end we regard with favor the proposed
enactment of law by Congress estab-
fishing National Railroad Commission
to investigate the oppression of railroad
corporations, or other legislative action
having for its object the relief of the
people.
Resoi9td, That the public domain is
the heritage of the American people,
and we are in favor of the enactment of
such laws as will forbid the alienation
of the soil by foreign corporations and
foreign landlords.
ReSoi0ed, That in the opinion of this
convention the success of the Republi-
can party would be assured by the nom-
inallon Of James G. Blaine for President,
yet, without instruciing the delegates
this day appointed, but reposing full
confidence in their integrity and WIS
dom, we place on record our firm con-
Lotion that they will meet the
unanimous sentiment of the Republican
party of this State if they support the
candidatuIe of Mr.. Blaine in the Nation.
al Convention, and we hereby pledge
the Republican party of Nevada to sup
port the nominees of that convention.
Each resolution as read was greeted
with loud applause, the planks in re-
gard to the Chinese, silver and land
questions eliciting much enthusiasm,
