growing uteres.s restora ton of the Wool TIA riff

wool on the free list.

We believe IN American soil for American cit-
cent 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 large tracts bodies of land
in the hands of corporations or individuals should
be discouraged, and In the Of land grants to
railroad corporations where the corporatiOnS have
failed to comply with the conditions Of the grants
the land should be forfeIfsd to the General Gov
ernment, and held for ths benefit of actual set
tiers.
We favor the intelligent organization of labor
for such worth purposes mutual education and
for thu protection of their interests in all things
relating to their welfare and to the industrial
welfare Of the country, and We favor the enact
nent of State and National laws providing for the
settlement of controversies between employers
and employees by methods Of voluntary arbitrs-
tOn. by ths establishing of Courts Of Concilia-
ton, which will avoid the waste. loss snd ILL

We denounce the pretense Of the Democratic
party OF having sympathy for the cause of local

House Of Representatives, in Committee of the
whole, repeatedly refused to indorse that princi-
pie. IN the Aonths of April and June last that
body of Democratic votes on three separate occa-
slons rejected q resolution indorsng free parl

We commend the efforts of Senstor Jones and
Congressman WOOdburn in obtaining an Appropri-
alton OF 500 900 for pubic land surveys in this
state, and condemn the action of the Com

We endorse the action Of Senator Jones and
Congressman Woodburn in their efforts to sup

the growth of the hostile power of Mormon

condemn the action Of the Democratic House of
Representatives in refusing during all the lonp
session of Congress which has Just closed to con-
slider any measure tending 10 relieve our country
from the blightng Of p lygamy and poly ga
nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
ries.
We are opposed TO the future importation of
Chinese to this c0nutry or of any other for ign
laborers und er the contract system, and favor
any plan for the relief of free labor from compe-
tition with convict labor, which does not impose
upon free labor the expense Of supporting con-
vict 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 calings, and such other measures r. will al.
prove the material and social welfare of our
indust rial y, pulation. We earnestly opposed
10 the doctrine OF the socalled anarchists and we
believe the most perfect prOtt tctOn to each and
