last session in striking fror, the bill 10
compensate the citizens Of this State for

citizens were sacrificed.

We dsnounce the pretense OF the Dem
ocrstic party Of having sympathy for the
cause of local self government in ireland
while the Democratic House Of Represen.
tatives. in Committee OF the Whole, re.
peatedly refused to indorse that prin-
ciple. In the months Of April and June
last that body. by Democratic votes, on
several occasions rejected resolution
indorsing free Parliament for ireland,
which is in the following words:
Resolved, That the House OF Repre-.
seutatiyes earnestly sympathizes with
Right Hon. William E. Gladstone and
| his associates in their efforts to secure q
free Parliament for the people Of Ireland,
and congratulate the people Of that
hitherto unhappy country upon the pros.
pect Of an early and unsuccessful ter.
mination Of their long and patriotic
struggle for the right o: local self govern
ment."
Thereby discouraging the growth Of a
liberal spirit throughout Great Britain.

We commend the efforts OF Senator
Jones and Congressman Woodburn in
obtaining an appropriation Of $50, 900
for public land surveys in this State,
and we condemn the action OF the Com
missioner Of the General Land Office in
withholding money appropriated for that
purpose, and particularly condemn the
action Of Senator Fair in absenting him.
self from Washington during all the time
when appropriations for this State were
under consideration by the Senate.

We endorse the action OF Senator Jones
and Congressman Woodburn in their
efforts to suppress polygamy 10 Utah,
and to check the growth Of disloyalty to
the Government in that Territory, and
we fully endorse the principles Of the
bill introduced for that purpose by Con.
gresham WOODBURY.. We endorse the
action OF the Republican Senate in pass.
ing in the early days Of the last session
Of Congress bill we'll calculated to sup.
press the growing evil Of polygamy, and
check the growth Of the hostile power Of
the Mormon Church, which is threaten.
ing the peace and furnishing the good
name Of the United States. We con.
denim the action Of the Democratic House
Of Representatives in refusing during all

just closed, to consider any measure tend.

We are opposed to the further i'm.
portation Of Chinese to this country, or
any other foreign laborers, under the
contract system, and we 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 convicts in idleness and
useless labor. And We favor the adop-
ton Of laws providing for the protection
Of workers in our mines snd other hazard.
Gus callings, and such other measures a.
will improve the material and social vel.
fare Of our industrial population. We
are earnestly opposed to the doctrine Of
the SO called Anarchists, and we believe
in the most perfect protection TO each
and every individual in the enjoyment Of
the fruits Of all his personal efforts TO
earn an honest livelihood.

The paramount interest Of civilization
requires that the money used ~ cir.
culating medium IN any country shall ct
all times bear . constant ratio Of the 10.
creasing population Of that country.
Contraction Of the currency involves oil
financial evils TO which nation can b.
subjected, among which are robbery Of
the debtor, stagnation Of business, re.
duction Of wages and the enslavsment oil
the masses for the benefit Of bondholders
and grasping creditors. We denounce
the bondholders' conspiracy to dcmone.
tie silver and contract the mouey Of the
world TO . single gold standard Is 4
crime against civilization. It would
double the obligation Of bonds and al
other contracts for. the payment Of
money, which now aggregate IN the civil
izod world the enormous sum Of NOR,
than one hundred THOUSAND million dol
lars, and thereby make the rich richeI
and the poor poorer, and impoverish tn,
masses for the benefit Of favored few
We are, therefore, in favor Of the free ant
unlimited coinage Of both gold and silve
upon the basis now provided by law.

We condemn the Democratic House o.
