the growth of the hostile power Of Mormon
nishing the good name OF the United States. We
condemn the action Of the Democratic House Of
Representatives in refusing during all the long
session Of Congress which has just closed to con-
slider any measure tending to relieve our country
from the blighting curse Of pnlygsmy and polyga-
nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
ries
We are opposed 20 ths future importation OF
Chinese to this conutry, or Of any other foreign
lAborers und er the contract systern and we favor
any plan for the relief Of free labor from compe-
tition with convict labor, which does n OF impose
upon free labor the expense OF supporting con-
yict labor in idlsness or useless labor. And we
favor the adoption of laws providing for the pro
lection of workers In our mines and other hazard
callinRs, and such other measures as will sp-
prove the material and social welfare OF our
indust rial population. We are earnestly opposed
to the doctrine of the socalled 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 honest ltveiihoo d.

The paramount interest OF civilization requires
that the money used as circulating medium in
any country shall ut all times bear constant ratio
to the tncrescing population Of that county Con-
traction Of the currency involves sl financial evils
to which Q nation eau be subjected. among which
robbery OF the debtor, stagnstion Of business,
reduction of wages, and the enslavement Of the
mAssesfor the beneht Of bondhoiders and grasping
creditors We denounce the bondholders' conApir-
to demonetize silver and contract the money OF
the world to q single gold standard q crime
against civilization. 1t would double the obliga-
tion of bonds and all other contracts for the pay
ment Of money, which now aggregate in the civil
ized world the enormous sum OF more than one
hundred thousand million dollars, and thereby
make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and in
povsrish the masses for favorite few. We are
therefore In favor Of the free and unlimited 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 20 make the necessary appro-
priations for the construction Of 9 suitable navy
for tho defense Of our commerce and the pro tee
tion Of citizens at home and abroad, and par
ticularly condemn 10 for refusing TO make any
appropriation for fortifcations to protect
tensive sea coast while there vast surplus in
the Treasury, and thousands Of lsborers out Of
employment.
We again declare our constant sympathy with
the just and consistent Republican policy and
practice OF granting out Of the Nations sbund-
sncs generous pensions to the disabled veterans
of our wars, whether for the country's defense
for the preservation of the Union. We protest
against the removal from oh1cIll places Of worthy
ana disabled Union soldiers to make way for par
tizAn civilians and ex-Confederates

ever treasure his memory and cherish his deeds.
1t Is the duty Of this State to msintAin free
schools, not only in tow. and thickly populated
sections, but in the rural and Sparsely settled dis
tricts, and as the education Of pupils in the spar
sely settled sections Of the State is necessarily
more expensive per capita than where q large
number of pupils can attend the same school, such

dividuals required for surveys, engineering,
and the construction of reservoirs, canals and
other hydraulic works, for the purpose Of irrga-
tion in this State We therefore favor liberal Ap-
propriRtstions BY Congress for surveys, both by.
biographical and Typographical to ascertain how
the waters Of this state. which now run to waste
in food 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 Congress to enable the Government Of the
United States to dispose Of its lands, and to
enable the people to settle upon and occupy
the same.

on all occasions, as are fully shown by hts unan-
swerable speeches In Congress against the reduc.
tion OF duties upon foreign manufactures and
productions, which expose In q masterly style
and In q clear and forcible manner the free trade

exhaustive speeches upon the remonetigation Of
silver, particularly the last speech IN Congress
