opement OF American industries We demand in
behalf of our mining interests the maintenance of
the present tariff on lead, borsx soda and other
mineral productions, and on behalf of our wool
growing Interests restora tion of the Wool Tariff
Of 1867, and we denounce the recent attempt OF the
Democratic majority in the National House OF
Representatives to pass the Morrison Bill reducing
the tariff the product of our mines and placing
wool on the free list.
We believe IN American soil for American citt-
zent and are opposed to non resident aliens be-
coming land owners. The public domain should
be reserved homesteAds for actual settlers, and
the accumulation Of laIge tracts or bodies OF land
in the hands of corporations or individuals should
be discouraged, and in the case OF land grants to
railroad corporations wtsro the corporations have
failed to comply with tie conditions of the grants
the land snoud be forfeited TO the General Gov
ernmeut, and held for the beneht of actual set
tiers.
We favor the intelligent organization of labor
for such WORT purposes us mutual educ alton and
for the protection of their interests in all things
relAting to their welfare and TO the industrial
welfare uf 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 arbitrs-
ton. by the establishing of Courts of Concila-
ton. which will avoid the waste, loss snd ILL
feeling resulting rom strikes snd lock-outs. and
the usual expense of LITIGATION.
VI.
We denuunCe the action Of the Democratic lc
House Of Rcpresentves at its last session in strtk
ing from the bill TO compensate the citizens Of
this State for losses sustained in the Indian War
of 1860 all claims for pIhes furnished for the
suppression of Indian hostiities, and also for ser
vice. rendered durinz that memorable struggle in
which the lives OF u large number of our most
respected citizens were sacrificed
VII
We denonnce the pretense Of the Democratic
party OF having sympathy for the cause of local
self-government in Ireland, while the Democratic
House Of Representatiyes, in Committee of the
whole remarkably refused tn iDIBrga that DFtuCi-
pie. IN the months Of April ami June last that
body OF Democratic votes on thrre separate ucca-
sous rejected q resolution indursing free parlis
ment for Ireland, which is in the following words;
"Rssoircd, That the House of representative earn.
esIy sympathizes with Right Hon. VIM Gladstone
and his associates in their efforts to secure free
parliament for the people Of lr land, and congrRt-
uiate the people OF that hitherto unhappy country
upon the prospect Of an early and successful ter
uiHalion Of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right Of local self government " Thereby is
coursEiug the growth OF liberGl spirit through
out Great Britain.
VIII.
W. commend the efforts Of Senator Jones and
Congressman NOOdburn in obtiining an approprl-
alton OF 100000 for pubic laud surveys in this
state, and condemn the sctiou OF the Com
missioner Of the General Land Office III withhold
ing moneys appropriated for that purpose, and
particularly condemn the action Of SeHstDr Fair
Ia Hbseuung himself from Washington during all
the The time when appropriations for this State
we're under consideration by the Senate.
TX.
We endorse tho action Of SENATOR Jones and
Congo ssnan Woodburn in their efforts to sup
pFess pelyEanIy in Utah, and to check the growth
OF disloySlty to the Government in that Territory,
and we fully endorse the principle, OF the bill in
trOduCCd for that purpose by Congress snAn Wood
burn We endorse the scUon OF the Republican
Sc ate in passing in tSe early days of the last
session OF Cougr rs a bill we'll calculated to sup
press the growing eyIl OF pUlygamy, and check
the growth of the hostile power of Mormon
Church, which IL threatening the peace and tar.
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 70 con-
slider any measure tending to relieve cur country
from the blighttng curse Of p lyganly and poly ga
nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
rleR.
We are opposed to the future importation Of
Chinese to this conutry, or Of any other for ign
laborerE uud er the contract system, and We favor
any plan for the relief of free labor from compe-
titiou with convict labor. which does not impOse
upon free labor the expense Of supporting con-
wet labor in idleness or useless labor. And we
favor the adoption Of laws providing for the pro
lection of workers In our mines and other hazard
Gus Callings and such other treasures a will ap-
prove the material and social welfare of our
inCust rial population. We are earnestly opposed
TO the dOctrin OF the so-called anarchists and
believe in the most perfect protection to each and
every individual in the enjoyment of the fruits of
all his personal efforts 10 an honest liVeliho d.
The paramount interest of civilization requires
that the money used as a circulating medium IN
any country shall at all times bear constant ratio
TO the increacing population of that county. Con
traction OF the curren involves sl I'm me al evils
to which nation eau be subjected, am NJ which
are robbery Of the debtor, stRenation of business
reduction OF wages. and the enslavement Of the
m asspsfor the benCft of bOndholders and grasping
creditors. We denounce the bondholders' conspir.
aey to demoneu8e silver and contract the money u
the world to single gold standard as crime
against civil zAtion, 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 tie enormous sum of more than one
hundred thousand million dollars, and tnereby
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 uni mited coin
age Of both gold and silver on the basis now pro-
vided by law.
We condemn the Democratic House OF Represen-
tativcs for refusing TO make the necessary apprO
priAtiuns for the construction of a suitable navy
for the defense Of our commerce and the pro tee
tion of citizens at home aud abroad, and We par
ticulRrlv condemn II for refusing to make any
appropriation for forthcations to protect our ex-
tensive sea coast while there vast surplus in
tho Treasury, and thousands of lsborers out of
employment,
We again declare our constant sympathy with
the lust and consistent Republican policy and
practice Of granting out OF the Nations abuud-
anca generous pensions TO the disabled veterans
Of our ware whethcr for the country's defense or
for the preservation Of the Union. We protest
against the removal from oficial places of worthy
and disabled Union soldiers to make way for par
tizan civilians and eX-Contederatcs,

In common with all loyal people of the lsnd,
we mourn the loss to our country Of the heroic
dead and especially that great soldier and states-
