LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Labor and capital are Of right, and
should be, through custom and law,
as mutual as man and wife; and to
the end that their mutual relations
shall be strenthened, we advocate at
the hands of the national Congress,
and of all State Legislatures, the
enactment Of proper laws affording
facilities for conference and srbitra-
ton. based upon the principle that
all men are free and equal, and di
rec.ly recognizing the equality of all
the interests involved the workers
the employers and the people at
large.
DEMOCRATIC INEFPICIENCY.
We bring an indictment against the
present Democratic national Admin
istration for its inconsistency, indif-
ference and inefficiency which has
been a like inconsistent in the meth
ods employed to promote promised
reform, Indifference to or individual
and commercial interests and inetfi-
cient through lack of experience and
ability to meet any of the grave ques-
tions of tie day.
TARIFF, HOME PROTECTION.
To the end that our industries may
be systematically developed, our COM
merce extended, labor receive its Just
rewards and capital find remunera-
tive employment, we demand that the
system of protection, known as the
American system, which has been re-
established, built up, and fostered by
the Republican party for twenty five
years, be maintained in its integrity.
And we demand further that this sys-
tenn, under which the wealth of this
country has been more than trebled
in single generation, and which af-
fords a fair and liberal protection to
our agricultural and manufacturing
interests, and the individual classes
employed in connection Herewith,
be also extended to our commerce, SO
that by the establishment and main
tenance of commercial marine we
may diversity industry, find new
channels for the overcrowded ranks
of labor, make use of the products of
the forest, mine and mill in building
our own ships, and provide for the
nations defence, as well as the pres
ervation of its honor, by training a
body of men for service upon the seas,
furnishing ships which can be trans
ferred to the service of the nation in
case of need, and securing the estab-
lishmeut of ship yards and machinery
which viii enable us as a nation to
construct entirely within ourselves,
when necessity requires, navy which
can meet the demands of modern ma
val warfare.
THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

sire on tue part OF Il large number Of
intelligent and respectable citizens Of
Pennsylvania to amend the constitu-
ton by inserting clause prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating drinks rs beverage with

Therefore,
Resolved, That it is the opinion and
Judgment Of tIhs Convention that the
Legislature OF the State should at
once adopt measures providing for the
submission of this great question to II
vote of the people in accordance with
the true spirit of our free institu-
