which is threatening the peace
: and furnishing the good name
: Of the United States. We con
| denim the action Of the Demo
cratic House Of Representative
in refusing during al! the long
session of Congress which ha:
| just closed to consider any meas
urc tending to relieve car coun-
; try from the blighting curse el
pe!ygamy and polygamous rule
in Utah and the surrounding
Territories.
K.
We are opposed to the future
importation of Chinese to this
country, or Of any other foreign
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 mines and other hazardous
caiiings, and such other meas
ures as will approve the mater
ial and social welfare of our in
dnstrial population. We are
earnestly opposed to the doctrine
Of the so-called anarchists, and
sEe nelieve IN the most perfect
protection to each and every in
dividu in the enjoyment OF the
fruits of all his personal efforts
10 earn an honest livelihood.
XI.
The paramount interest Of
civilization requires that the
money used as Il circulating me-
dium in any country shall at all
times bear 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
h"l ers and grasping 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 /
million dollars, and |
thereby make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and impov-
erish the masses for Il favnrite
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
House of Representatives for re-
rusing to make the necessary
appropriations for the construc-
ton of a 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
to make any appropriation for
Qualifications to protect our eX-
.ensive sea coast while there
was ii vast surplus in the Treas
lry, and thousands of laborers
)ut of employment
XIII.
We again declare our constant
sympathy with the just and con-
'istent 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
preservation ofthe Union. We
protest against the removal from
official places Of worthy and dis
,bled Union soldiers to make
way for partisan civilians and
ex.COnfederateS.

Tn common with all loyal peo-
pie of the land we mourn the
