We favor a tariff upon the imported pro-
ducts of low-pricod foreign labor SO as to

tariff on lead, lorax, soda and other mineral
productions, aud on behalf of orr wool-srow-
ing interests q restoration of the wool tariff of
1857, and we denouhce the recent attempt of
tempt OF the Democratic majority In the Ma.
tional House of Representatives to pass the
Morrison bill reducing the tariff on The pro-
duct of our mines and placing wool on the free
list.

We believe In American soil for American
American citizens, and are opposed TO non
resident aliens becoming land owners. The
publ c domain should be reserved AZ home
Eteads for actual settlers, and the accumula-
ton of large tracts or bodlos of land in the
hands Of oi corporations or individuals should
be discouraged. and in the case vi land grants
10 railroad corporations where tbs corpora
lions have failed TO comply with the condi-
ti0ns of the grants the land should be for
feited to the General Government aud held
for the beneft OF actual settlers.

The paramount interest Of civilization re-

"A constant ratio to the increasing population
Of that country. Contra elton of the currency
involves all financial evils TO which nation
can be subjected. among which are robbery
of the debtor, stagnatiOn OF business, reduc-
ton OF wages, and the enslavement of the
masses for the benefit of bondholders and
crushing creditors We denOunce the bond
holders conspiracy to demonetize silver and
contract the money VI the world to a single
gold standard as crime against civilization;
Il would double the obligation of bonds and
all other contracts for the payment OF money,
which now aggregate in the civilized world
the enormous SUN of more than one hundred
thousand million dollars, thereby making the
rich richer and the poor poorer. and lmpov-

therefore In favor of the free and unlimited
coinage OF both gold and silver on the basis
now provided by law; :,
