labor by the abolition Of slavery and the utte
reputation of caste and aristocracy by til
nopuohcan party has opened TO free men an
ifee Iaoor every acre OF land within the juriI
diction OF the United States, and has enable
the toiling millions OF the North and of til
south TO associate in one common brotherhoo
Ior the protection OF their rights and the I'D
vancement OF their Intellectual and materia
prosperity.
We arraign the Democratic Administrator,
OF President Cleveland for having failed :,
Keep the pledges on which 1t came into power
Ii promised economy and retrenchment ant
has been most extravagant in expenditures
and appropriations, which, for the curreu
year, largely exceed the abundant revenues OIL
the Government. 1t promised to reduce thu
surplus in the Treasury, but reversing the rule
OF previous Administrations. hss permitted
such surplus to lie idle and accumulate to the
injury Of the business of the country, and has
refused to approve of the action Of q large
majority Of both Houses OF Congress directing
thst such surplus be applied in payment Of
| the interest bearing debt Of the country. II
| promised to care for and give attention to the
| disabled soldiers and sailors OF the late war
and has treated with contemptuous veto every
pension bill against which 1t could find any
shadow OF technical objection. 1t promised
| to protect the persons and property Of citizens
| both at home and abroad, and to maintain the
dignity and honor of the nation. yet in its re-
| lation with Great Britain 1t has shown itself
| person
or property, and has permitted our flag to be
| insulted, without proper protest, almost in
sight OF our shores, while by hasty and un.
seemly action 1t has unnecessarily jeopardized
our friendly relations with the Mexican Re-
public, and made our nation ridiculous in the
eyes OF the world. Its evasion of Civil Serv-
ice Reform, to which its leading representa-
tives are pledged, have been bold, insolent and
lawless. 1t has shown itself no friend to Ne
vada, because. among its first acts OF admin
istration, 1t closed the United States Mint in
Carson City, in utter violation of the law to
the great detriment of every miner and silver
producer in this State in particular, and of the
public in general. It has seriously impaired
our mail facilities. without shadow OF Just ex.
cuse. 1t has outraged the express will of
Congress. and denied to this people their
rights by its planned and continued re-
fusal to execute the law for the erection Of q
Government building in the capital of this
State. 1t has used the entire power of the
Administration to destroy silver az money,
and by q refusal to execute the law and pay
out silver for Government dues has kept the
metal out of circulation, aud by various de-
vices 1t has reduced the price of silver since
the inauguration of President Cleveland more
than fifteen per cent. It has closed many Of
our silver mines, and thrown thousands OF
honest lsborers out of employment.
III.
We favor Q tariff upon the imported pro-
ducts of low-priced foreign labor. SO as to pro-
tect the interests of American wage-workers,
and for the development Of American indus
tries. We demand in behalf OF our mining
interests the maintenance of the present tariff
ON lead, borRx, soda and other mineral pro.
ductions, and In behalf of our wool. growing
interests q res storAtfon of the wool tariff of
1867, aud we denounce the recent attempt of
the Democratic majority in the Natioual House
OF Representative to pass the Morrison bill
reducing the tariff on the products OF our
mines and placing wool on the free list.
".
We believe In American soil for American
citizens, and are opposed to nonresident
aliens becoming landowners. The p1blic do
main should be reserved as homestesds for
actusl settlers, and the accumulation Of large
tracts or bodies of land in the hands of cor
porations or individuals should be discour-
aged, and in the case of land grants to railroad
corporations where the corporations have
failed to comply with the conditions OF the
grants the land should be forfeited to the
General Government, and held for the benefit
Of actual settlers.
Y.
We favor the intelligent organization OF
labor for such worthy purposes ls mutual
education and tor the protection OF their in
terests in all things relating to their welfare
and to the industrial welfare of the country.
and we favor the enactment OF State and
National laws providing for the settlement of
controversies between employers and en-
ployes by methods OF voluntary arbitration,
or by the establishment of courts of concilia-
tion, which will avoid the waste. loss and
tll-feeling resulting from strikes and lock-
outs and the usual expense of litigation.
vi.
We denounce the action Of the Democratic
House Of Representatives at its last session in
striking from the bill to compensate the citi-
zens OF this State for losses sustained in the
Indian war of 1860 all claims for supplies fur
nished for the suppression of Indian hostili-
ties, and also for services rendered during that
memorable struggle in which the lives Of q
large number OF our most respected citizens
were sacrificed.
We denounce the pretense OF the Demo-
cratic party Of having sympathy for the cause
of local self-government IN Ireland while the
Democratic House Of Representatives. in
Committee of the Whole. repeatedly refused
to indorse that principle. In the months of
April and June last that body. by Democratic
votes, on three severalS occasions. rejected q
resolution endorsipg q frse Parliament for
Irelsnd, which is in the following words:
"Resolved. That the House Of Representa-
tives earnestly synr rathizes with Right Hon.
william E. Gladstone and his associates in
their efforts to secure free Parliament for the
people of Ireland, and congratulate the people
Of that hitherto unhappy country upon the
prospect of an early and successful termtna-
ton of their long aud patriotic struggle for
right of local self-government
Thereby discouraging the growth OF liberal
spirit throughout Great Britain.
VIII.
We commend the efforts Of Senator Jones
and Congressman Woodburn In obtaining an
appropriation of S3O. 900 for public land sur
veys in this State, and We condemn the action
of the Commissioner Of the General Land
once in Withholding moneys appropriated for
that purpose, and particularly condemn the
action Of Senator Fair in absenting himself
from Washington during all the time when
appropri ations for this State were under con-
sideration by the Senate.
TX.
We endorse the action of Senator Jones and
Congressman Woodburn in their efforts to
suppress polygamy in Utah, and TO check the
growth of dlsloyalty to the Government In
that Territory, and we fully endorse the prin-
ciples of the bill In trodu ed for that purpose
