Territories.

We are opposed to the future
importation Of Chinese to thi:
country, or of any other foreign
lab0rers, under the contract sys-
tenn, and We favor any plan fol
the relief of free labor Frafn COM
petition with convict labor,
which does not impose upon
free labor the expense of sup
| porting convict labor in idleness
or useless labor. And we favor
the adoption Of laws providing
for the protection of workers in
our mines and other hazardous
callings, and such other meas
ures as will approve the mater
ial and social welfare Of our in
dHstriai population. We are
earnestly opposed to the doctrine
of the sO-called anarchists, and
We believe ia the most perfect
protection to each and every in
dividual in the enjoyment of the
fruits of all his personal efforts
to earn an honest livelihood.
XI.
The paramount interest Of
civilization requires that the
-aoney used as circulating me-
dium in any country shall at all
times bear constant ratio to
the increasing population of that
country. Contraction of the
currency involves all financial
evils to which q nation can be
subjected, among of which are
robbery of the debtor, stagnation
of business, reduction of wages,
and the enslavement of the
masses for the benefit of bond
holders and grasping creditors
We denounce the bondholders.
conspiracy to demonetize silver
and contract the money of the
world to a single gold standard
as a crime against civilization.
1t would double the obligation
of bonds and all other contracts
for the payment of money,
which now aggregate in the
world the enormous
sum Of more than one hundred
thousand million dollars, and
thereby make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and impov-
erish the masses for Il favorite
few. We are therefore in favor
of the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver on
the basis now provided by law.
XII.
We condemn the DemccraticsI
House of Representatives for re-
fusing to make the necessary
appropriations for the eonstruc-
ton Of a suitable navy for the
defense OF our commerce and
the protection of our citizens at
home and abroad, and we par
tieularly condemn it for refusing
to make any appropriation for
fOrtificatiOns to protect cur ex-
tensive sea coast while there
was Il vast surplus in the Treas
ury, and thousands of laborers
out of employment.
XIII.
We again declare our constant
sympathy with the just and con-
sistent Republican policy and
practice of granting out Of the
Nations abundance generous
pensions to the disabled veterans
of our wars, whether for the
country's defense or for the
ofthe Union. We
protest against the removal from |
official places of worthy and dis
abled Union soldiers to make |
way for partisan civilians and
ex-COnfedera:es.

pie Of the land we mourn the
