I mlneTAT pTOdnCtlOnH,
growing Interests u rsstora ton of the Wool Tariff
of 1867, and denouncs the recent attempt of the
| Democratic majority in the National House of
Representatives to pass the Morrison Bill reducing
the eriff ou the product Of mines and placing
| wool on the free list.
We believe In American soil for American citi-
| zent, and opposed to nonresident aliens be-
| coming land owners. The public domain should
be reserved hoIaestesds for actual settlers and
| the accumulation Of large tracts or bodies of land
in the hands of corporations or individuals should
be discouraged, aud 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 Gov
| ernment, and held for the beneft of actual set
| tiers.

| We favor the intelligent organization of labor

for the protection of their interests in all things

| welfare II the country and we favor the enact
ment of State and National laws providing for the
settlement of controversies between employers
and employees by methods of voluntary arbitrs
tiOn. or bv the establishing of Courts Of Conciia

feeling resulting rom strikes and lock-outs. and
the usual expense OF lttgstion

| We denounce the action Of the Democratic
House of RepreseDtives al its last session in strk
ing from the bill to compensate the citizens of

| Of 1860 all claims for supplies furnished for the
suppression Of Indian hostilites and also for ser
| vice. rendered during that memorable struggle In
| which the lives OF large number Of our most
respected citizens were sacrificed.

We denounce the preteDse OF the Democratic
| party of having sympathy for the cause of local
self f-government In Ireland, while the Democratic
| House Of Representatives, in Committee of the
whole. repeatedly refused to indorse that princi
| Pile. IN the haonths OF April and June last that
body of Democratic votes on three separate occa
siOns rejected resolution indorsing free psrlis
ment for Ireland which is in the following words
| "ResOiped That the House Of Representative earn
estly sympsthizes with Right Hon. VIM Gladstone
ana his associates in their efforts To secure free
parliament for the people of Ireland, and congrat

| upon the prospect Of an early and successful ter
mination Of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right of local self government Thereby dis
couraging the growth OF a liberal spirit through

| We commend the efforts of Senator Jones and
| Congressman Woodbu in obtaiuing an Bppropr-
alton Of 500 900 for public land surveys in this
STATE and we condemn the action of the Com
| missioner of the General Land Office in withhold
| ing moneys appropriated for that purpose, and
| particularly conderun the action of Senstor Fair
| ia absenting himself from Washington during all
| the the time when appropriations for this State

of disluyalty to the Government in that Territory,
and we fully endorse the principle o. the bill in

| condemn the action Of the Democratic House of
| Representatives in refusing during all the Ions
session Of Congress which has just closed tn con-
| slider any measure tending TO relieve our country

| We are opposed to the future importation of
Chinese to this conutry, or Of any other foreign
labOrers. und er the contract system, and favor
| any plan for the relief of free labor from compe-
| tition with convict labor, which does not impose
| upon free labor the expense of supporting con-

therefore in favor Of the free and uni mited coin
of both gold and silver on the basis now pro-
vided by law.
We condemn the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives for refusing to make the necessary appro-
prAtions for the construction of suitable navy
for the defense of our commerce and the pro tee
ton of citizens at home and abroad, and we par
tcularly condemn 1t for refusing TO make any
appropriation for fortihcations to protect ex
tensive sea coast while there a vast surplus in
the Treasury, and thousands of laborers out OF
employment,
We again declare our constant sympathy with
tho lust and consistent Republican policy and
practice OF granting out of the Nations abund-
ance generous pensions to the disabled veterans
of our wars whether for the country'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 par
tzan civilians and ex-Confederates.

In common with all loyal people of the land
we mourn the loss TO our country of the heroic
dead and especially that great soldier and states
man, Ulysses 3 Grant. III life Will forever be
an inspiration to high and honorable manhood

| principles ofIRepublicanism which he so ittingly
| represented and did so much TO advance. We shall
| ever treasure his momory and cherish his deeds
