of 1867, and denouncs the recent attempt of the
Democratic majority in the National house of
to pass the Nor rison Bill ing
the tariff ou the product Of our mines and placing
wool on the free list.
We believe in American soil for American citi-
GENT, and are opposed to nonresident aliens be-
coming land owners. The public domain should
be reserved as homesteAds for actual settlers and
the accumulation Of large tracts or bodies OF land
In the hands of corporations or individuals should
be discouraged, 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 bs forfeited TO the General Gov
ernment. and held for the beneht Of actual set
tiers.
We favor the intelligent organization of labor
for such worth purposes as mutusl education and
for the protection of their interests in all things
relating to their welfare and to the industrial
welfare Of 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 srbitrs-
tion or bv the establishing of Courts Of Concilia-
ton, which will avoid the waste. loss and ILL
feeling resulting rom strikes and lock-outs. and
the usual expense of litigation

We denounce the action Of the Democratic
House of Representatives at its last session in strik
ing from the bill to compensate the citizens of
this State for losses sustained in the Indian War
Of 1860 all claims for supplies furnished for the
suppression of Indian hostilites and also for ser
which the lives Of large number OF our most
respected citizens were sacrihced
VII.
We denounce the pretense OF the Democratic
party of having sympathy for the cause of local
self government Ia Ireland. while the Democratic
House of Representatives, In Committee of the
whole. repeatedly refused to indOrse that princi
pie. In the months of April and June las that
body OF Democratic votes on three separate occa-
sons rejected q resolution indorsing tree psrlia
ment for Ireland. which is In the following words:
"ReSolued. That the House of Representative earn
estly sympathiEes with Right Hon. VIM. Gladstone

parliament for the people OF Ireland. and congrst
ulate the people of that hitherto unhappy country
upon the prospect of an early and successful ter
minAtion Of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right Of local self f-goyernment " Thereby dis
couraging the growth OF liberal spirit through
out Great Britain.
We commend the efforts OF senator Jones and
Congressman Woodburn in obtaining an appropri-
alton Of 500, 900 for pubic land surveys in this
State, and we condemn the sctiou of the Com
missioner of the General Land Ot1ce in withhold
ing moneys apr priated for that purpose, aud
particularly condemn the action of Senator Fair
iu absenting himself from Washington during all
the the time when appropriations for this Stale
were under consideration by the Senate.

We endorse the action Of Senator Jones and
Congressman Wootburn in their efforts to sup
press pelygamy in Utah, and to check the growth
of dislOyalty to the Government in that Territory,
and fully endorse the principles o. the bill in-
troduced for that purpose by Congress smHn Wood

Sc ate in passing in the early days of the last
session OF Congr ~ bill we'll calculated to sup
press the growing evil Of polygamy, and check
the growth of the hostile power of Mormon
Church which ts threatening the peace and tar.

condemn the action of the Democratic House OF
Representatives in refusing during all the lone
session of Congress which has Just closed 10 con.
slider any measure tending to relieve our country
from the blighting curse Of pclygsmy and poly ga
nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
ries
We are opposed 10 the future importation OF
Chinese to this conutry, of any other foreign
lAborers uud er the contract system and We favor
any plan for the relief of free labor from compe-
tition with convict labor, which does ot impose
upon free labor the expense Of supporting con-
vict labor In idleness or useless labor. And we
favor the adoption OF laws providing for the pro-
lection of workers in our mines and other hazard
ous callings and such other measures will sp-
prove the material and social welfare of our
indust rial population. We are earnestly opposed
to the doctrine of the so-called anarchists and
believe in the most perfect protection TO each and
every individual in the enjoyment of the fruits

The paramount interest OF civilization requires
that the money used as q circulating medium in
any country shall at all times bear constant ratio
TO the increacinR population of that county Con
20 which 9 nation eau be subjected am ng which
robbery Of the debtor, stsgnstion Of business,
reduction Of wages. and the enslavement of the
massesfor the benoft Of bondhOiders and graspinR
creditors We denounce the bondholders' cOnspir-
acv to demonetize silver and contract the money
the world TO a single gold standard as crime
against civil EAtion. 1t would double the obliga-
tion of bonds and all other contracts for the pay
ment of money, which now aggregate in the civil
lied 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
poverish the masses for favorite few. We are
therefore in favor of the free and uni mited coin
age 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-
priations for the construction of a suitable navy
for the defense of our commerce and the pro tee
tion of citizens At home aud abroad, and we par
ticuarly condemn il for refusing to make any
appropriation for Notifications to protect our
tensive coast while there was q vast surplus in
the Treasury, and Thousands of laborers out of
employment
We again declare our constant sympathy with
the lust aud consistent Republican policy and
practice of granting out OF the Nations abnud-
ance generous pensions to the disabled veterans
of our wars whether for the countrys 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
tizan civilians and ex-Confederstes,
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 Grant His life will forever be
patriotic devotion to our country and loyalty to the
principles disqualification which he so httingly
represented and did so much TO advance. We shall
ever treasure his memory and cherish his deeds.
