Y which is threatening the peac

in refusing during all the Ion.
session Of Congress which ha
!, just closed to consider any meas
a urc tending to relieve our ceun-
: try from the blightin. curse o
q polygamy and poIygamous rule
in Utah and the surrounding
Territories.
! We are opposed to the future
: importation of Chinese to this
country, or of any other foreign
5 laborers, under the contract sys-
; tenn, and we favor any plan for
, the relief of free labor from 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 minesNand other hazardous
callings, and such other meas
ures as will approve the mater
ial and social welfare of our in
dnstriaI population. We are
earnestly opposed to the doctrine
of the so-calIed anarchists, and
we believe in 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
money used as circulating me-
dium in any country shall at all
times bear a constant ratio to
the increasing population Of that
country. Contraction Of the !
currency involves all financial
evils to which a 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 grssping creditors
We denounce the bondholders.
conspiracy to demonetiZe silver
and contract the money of the
world to 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
civilized world the enormous
sum of more than one hundred
thousand million dollars, ana
thereby make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and impov-
erish the masses for Il favorite
few. We are therefore in favor
nf the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver on
the basis now provided by law.
XII.
We condemn the Democratic
Hsuse Of Representatives for re-
fusing to make the necessary ;
for the construc-
ton of d suitable navy for the
defense Of our commerce and
The protection of our citizens at
home and abroad, and we par
condemn it for refusing
70 make any appropriation for {
Qualifications to protect our ex-
.ensive sea coast while there
was u vast surplus in the Treas
lry, and thousands of laborers
out of employment.
XIII.
We again declare our constant
sympathy with the just and con-
'lstent Republican policy and :;
practice of granting out of the
Nations abundance generous
pensions to the disabled veterans
If our wars, whether for the
defense or for the
ofthe Union. We
protest against the removal from
,fficial places of worthy and dis S
lbled Union soldiers to make |
way for partisan civilians and S
,x-COnfederates.

In common with all loyal peo-
,le of the land we mourn the S
