growing Interests tion of the Wool Tariff
of 1867 and we denounce the recent attempt of the
Democratic majority In the National Bouse Of
Representatives to pass the Morrison Bill reducing
the tariff on the product Of our mines and placing
wool on the free list.
We believe In American soil for American citi-
zent, and are opposed to nonresident aliens be-
coming land owners. The public domain should
be reserved homesteads for actual settlers. and
the accumulation OF large tracts or bodies of land
In the hands of corporations individuals should
be discouraged, and In the OF land crAnts to
railroad corporations where the corporations have
failed to comply with the conditions OF the grants
the land should be forfeited to the General Gov
ernment and held for the benefit of actual set
tiers.
We favor the intelligent organization of labor
for such worth purposes as mutual 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 employers by methods of voluntary arbtrs
ton bv the establishing Of Courts Of Concilia-
tion, which will avoid the waste. loss and ill
feeling resulting rom strikes and lock-outs. ana
the usual expense Of litigation.

We denounce the action of the Democratic
House of Representves az it's 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 h6stilties, and also for
vice. rendered durn. that memorable struggle in
which the lives Of a large number of our most
respected citizens were sacrihced
We denounoe the pretense Of the Democratic
party Of having sympathy for the cause Of local
elf-government ia Ireland while the Democratic
House of Representatives, in Committee of the
whole. repeatedly refused TO indorse that princ-
pie In the months Of April and June las that
body of Democratic votes three separate occa-
sions rejected resolution indorsing a free parlia-
ment for Ireland which Is in the following words:
"Resoived hat the House Of Representative earn,
esuy sympathizes with Right Hon. VIM. Gladstone
and his associates in their efforts to secure free
parliament for the people Of ireland. and congrat
ulate the people of that hi-herto unhappy country
upon the prospect of early aud successful ter
mtnaion Of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right Of local self-government 3" Thereby dis-
courAgiDg the growth OF a liberal spirit through
out Great Britain.
We commend the efforts Of senator Jones and
Congressman Woodburn in obtaining an appropri-
alton OF $4,000 for pabiic land surveys in this
Stat and we condemn the action of the Com
missioner of tie General Land Once in withhold
ing moneys appropriated fer that purpose and
particularly condemn the action Of seastur Fair
ia abseniiDg himself from Washington during all
the me time Theu appropriations for this State
were under consideration by the Senate.

Tho 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 ipcreacinR population of that country. Con.
traction OF the currency involves all fin nc al evils
to which nation eau be subjected among which
are robbery OF the debtor stsgnation of business
reduction Of wages, and the euslavement OF the
massesfor the benefit Of bondholders and grasping
creditors. We denounce the bondholders conspir-
acy to demonetize silver and contract the money OF
the world to a single gold standard as a crime
against civil cation. II would double the obliGa-
ton 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
hundred thousand million dollars, and thereby
make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and iu-
poverish the masses for q favorite few We are
therefore IN favor of the free and uni mted coin
age Of both gold and silver on the basis now pro.
vided by law.
We condemn the Democratic Housso of Represen-
tatives for refusing to make the necessary appro-
prAtions for the construction of q suitable navy
for the defense Of our commerce and the pro tee
tion of citizens at home and abroad, aud we par.
tlculArlv condemn II for refusing to make any
appropriation for forihcations TO protect our ex-
tensve sea coast while there q vast surplus in
the Treasury. and Thousands OF laborers out OF
employment.
We again declare our constant sympathy with
the Just and consistent Republican policy and
practice OF granting out Of the Nations abund-
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

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 s Grant. His life will forever be
an inspiration TO high and honorable manhood,
patriotic devotion TO country and loyalty to the
principles oflRepnblicansm which he SO dttingly
represented and did SO much TO advance. We shall
ever treasure his memory and cherish his deeds.
