labor from competition with convict labor.
which does not impose upon fie labor the ex.
pense Ct supporting convicts in idleness and
labor. And we favor the adoption OF
laws providing for the protection Of workers
in our mines and other hazardous c~allinps.
Snd such other measures as will improve the
material and social welfare of our industrial
pop ,lation. We are earnestly opposed to the
doctrine OF the so-called Anarchist. and we
believe in the most perfect protection to each
and every individual in the enjoyment Of the
fruits OF all OF his personal efforts to earn an
honest livelihood.
The paramount interest of civilization re-
quires that the money used as = circulating
medium in any country shall at all times bear
a constant ratio to the increasing population
of that country. Contraction of the currency
involves all financial evils TO which q nation
can be subjected, among which are robbery
OF the debtor, stagnation Of business, reduc-
ton OF wages and the enslavement Of the
masses for the benefit OF bondholders and
grssping creditors. We denounce the bond
holders conspiracy to demonetize silver and
contract the money of the world to q single
gold standard as q crime against civilization.
1t would double the obligation of bonds and
all other contracts for the payment Of money.
which now aggregate in the civilized world
the enormous sum of more than one hundred
thousand million dollars, and thereby make
the rich richer and the poor poorer, and i'm.
poverfsh the masses for the benefit Of Q fav-
ored few. We are, therefore,, in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage OF both gold and
silver upon the basis now provided by law.
We condemn the Democratic House Of Rep.
resentatives for refusing to make the neces.
sary appropriations for the construction Of y
suitable Navy for the defense of our com.
merce and the protec lon Of our citizens at
home and abroad, and we particularly con-
damn IL for rafuaipg "a fnaka aunrnprta
ton for fortificstions to protect our extensive
seacoast while there was @ vast surplus in the
Treasury. and thousands of laborers out Of en-
ployment.
XIII.
We again declare our constant sympathy
with the just and consistent Republican pol
icy and practice of granting out Of the nations
abundance generous pensions to tho disabled
veterans OF our wars. whether for the conn
try's defense or for the preservation OF the
Union. We protest against the removal from
official places Of worthy and disabled Union
soldiers to make way for partisan civilians and
ex. Confederates.
In common with Gil loyal people OF the land,
we mourn the loss to our country of the heroic
dead, and especially that great Republican, ss
well as great soldier and statesman. Ulysses
s.. Grant. His life will forever be an int pira
ton to high and honorable manhood, patriotic
devotion ~ our country and loyalty to the
DElDClpleb Oh htpuDllChulbm WHICH no 80 Mt
ttngly represented and did 80 much to advance.
We shall ever treasure his memory and cherish
his deeds.
XIV.
It lie the duty of this State to maintain free
schools, not only in towns and thickly popu-
lated sections, but In the rural and spsrsely
settled districts, and As the education of pu-
pills in the sparsely settled sections of the
State is necessarily more expensive per capita
than where q large number of pupils can at
tend the same school. such o division of the
school money should be made as will furnish
the means OF education to all children In the
State.
Expenditures beyond the means Of private in
dividnals are required for surveys, engineering
and the construction of reservoirs. canals and
other hydraulic works. for the purpose Of irriga-
tion ia this State. We, therefore,, favor liberal
appropriations by Congress for surveys, both
Photographed and typographical. to ascertain
how the waters Of this State, which now run to
waste In Hood time. may be stored and utilized
for the purpose OF agriculture, to the end that
when all the facts are known, suitable aid may
be obtained from Con gress to enable tbs Gov
eminent of the United States to dispose Of its
lands, and to enable the people TO settle upoL.
and occupy the same.
Resolved, That two years experience has
demonstrated that the present fury law, which
compel citizens, at their own expence, without
regard to their peCuntary ability or the losses
they may suffer, snmmanly to suspend their
usual occupations, break their business engage
ments, travel long distances and remain from
their homes for an uncertain period, and attend
upon District Courts rs jurymen, Ia q measure OF
unwise economy, often productive OF great hard.
ship and an unjust imposition of public bur.
dens upon private individuals. We, therefore
demand of the next L g~islature such legislation
~ shall secure TO all citizens fair compensation
for all time which they spend, and null reim.
bursement for all expenses which they incur in
performing the duties Of jurymen in the District
Courts.

pleasure to the abba and brilliant record made by
our Senator In Congress. the Hon. John p.
Jones, In his watchful and v~igilant care OF our

by his unanswerable speeches in Congress
against the reduction Of duties upon foreign
manufactures and foreign productions, which
exposes in q mastery style and in n clesr and
iorcible manner the free-trade doctrines OF mod
ern Democracy. His able and exhaustive
speeches upon the RECOMMENDATION Of silver, par
ticularly the last speech in Congress upon that
subject. in which he has displayed more strongly

serves the united thanks Of the people Of this
State for his constant zeal aid watchful care
over the true interests Of the people Of this
State, and that we recognize in him an able
statesman, q faithful Representative and an
honest man, and we say We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant: renewed honors await
thee"
Resolved, That we are unalterably in favor
OF homo rule in Nevads, and believe that the
men who pay her taxes and whose homes and
interests ara identified with the State should
control its politics.
We believe Il ia tins dut, Of the National Gov
eminent to pass laws regulating the great rail
road corporations OF the country, protecting the
people from extortions and unjust discrimina-
tions. and we approve the principles of the bin
passed by the United States Senate, known as
the Cullom bill, and urge our Senators and Rep
resentative In Congress TO have the same grated
upon our national law.
Resolved, That we demand that the next
Legislature shall pass law In accordance with
the plan known as the Nebraska plan for the
election Of United Statea 9anator
