Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1886-10-27
MISCELLANEOUS

tempt of the Democratic majority
in the National House of Rep
rescntatives to pass the Morrl-
son Bill reducing the tariff on
the product of our mines and
placing weoi on the free list.
~.
We believe in American soil
for American citizens, and are
opposed to nonresident aliens
becoming land owners. The
public dsMain should be reserv-
ed as homesteads for actual set
tiers, and tho accumulation OF
large tracts or bodies of land in
the hands Of corporations or in-
ldividuals should be discouraged,
and in the case Of land grants
to railroad corporations where
the corporations have failed to
comply with the conditions of
the grants the land should be
! forfeited to the General Govern.
ornment, and held for the bene-
fit OF actual settlers.
V.
We favor the intelligent or
| ganiZaiion of labor for such wcr-
| thy purposes as mutual educa-
ton and for the protection OF
/ their interests in all things re-
lating to their welfare and to the
industrial welfare OF the country,
and We favor the enactment Of
State and National laws provid-
ing for the settlement of contro-
ve.sies between employers AMI
employees by methods OF volun-
tary arbitration, or by the estab-
fishing of Courts of Cancellation,
which will avoid the waste, loss
and ilI-feeIing resulting from
strikes and lock -outs, and the
usual expense Of litigation.
VI.
We deraunce the action OF the
Democratic House of Represen-
tatives at its last session in strik-
ing from the bill to compensate
/ the citizens Of this State for
losses sustained in the Indian
War of i $50 all claims for sup
plies furnished for the suppress
ion Of Indian hostilities, and also
for services rendered during that
memorable struggle in which
the lives Of a large number of
our most respected citizens were
sacrificed.
VII.
We denounce the pretense of
the Democratic party of having
sympathy for the cause of local
selt-government IN Ireland,
! while the Democratic House Of
| Representatives, in Committee
Of the while, repeatedly refused
to indorse that princii lc. In
the months of April and June
last that body Of Democratic
votes on three several occasions
rejected resolution indorsing a
free parliament fer Ireland
which is in the following words:
"ResnIved, That the House
of Representatives earnest! j
sympathize with Right Hon.
William A Gladstone and his
associates in their efforts to Sc
cure a free parliament for the
people o: Ireland, and congratu-
late the people of that hitherto
unhappy country, upon the
prospect Of an early and success
full termination oftheir long and
patriotic struggle for the right
of loca! self-government."
Thereby discouraging the
growth Of a liberal spirit
throughout Great Britain.
, VIII.
We commend the efforts o1
Senator Jones and Congressman
WOodburn in obtaining an ap'
preparation of 100000 for pub
lie land surveys in this State
. and we condemn the action o
5 the Commissioner of the Gener
: al Land Office in Withholding
moneys appropriated for tina
t purpose, and particularly con
| denim the action Of Senator Fai
: in absenting himself from Wash
3 ington during all the time whel
t appropriations for this Stat
r were under consideration by tn
r Senate.
Il We endorse the action OF Sen
iator jones and Congressman
Woodburn i'm their efforts to SUP
j. press pelygamy in Utah, and t
