labor by the abolition of slavery and the uttel
repudiauon OF caste and aristocracy by tn,
hePuoican party has opened to free men ant
free labor every acre OF land within the juris
diction of the United States, and has enabled
the toiling millions Of the North and of thu
south to associate in one common brotherhood
Tor the protection of their rights and the ad
vancement of their intellectual and material
prosperity.
We arraign the Democratic Administration
OF President Cleveland for having failed tc
Keep the pledges on which 1t came into power
II promised economy and retrenchment, and
has been most extrsvagant in expenditures
and appropriations, which, for the current
year, largely exceed the abundant revenues OF
the Government. 1t promised to reduce the
surplus in the Treasury, but reversing the rule
OF previous Administrations, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle and accumulate to the
injury of the business of the country, and has
| refused to approve OF the action OF q large
majority of both Houses OF Congress directing
tnat such surplus be spilled In payment Of
the interest-bearing debt of the country. 1t
promised to care for and give attention to the
disabled soldiers and sailors OF the late war,
and has treated with contemptuous veto every
pension bill against which it could find any
shadow OF technical objection. 1t promised
| to protect the persons and property of citizens
both at home and abroad. and to maintain the
dignity and honor of the nation, yet in Its re-
| lation with Great Britain 1t has shown itself
unwilling to give protection to either person
| or property, and has permitted our flag to be
| insulted. without proper protest, almost in
sight OF our shores, while by kasty and un-
seemly action 1t has unnecessarily jeopardized
| our friendly relations with the Mexican Re-
public, and made our nation ridiculous in the
1 eyes of the world. Its evasion Of Civil Serv-
ice Reform, to which its leading representa-
| tives are pledged, have been bold, insolent and
lswless. 1t has shown itself no friend to Ne
| vada, because, among its first acts Of admin
istration, 1t closed the United States Mint in
| Carson City, in utter violation Of the law. TO
| the great detriment of every miner and silver
producer in this State in particular, and of the
| public in general. 1t has seriously impaired
| our mail facilities. without shadow of just ex-
| cuse. 1t has outraged the express will of
| Congress, and denied to this people their
| rights by its unex planned and continued re-
fusal to execute the law for the erection CT
Government building in the capital of this
State. 1t has used the entire power of the
Administration to destroy silver az money,
| and by a refusal to execute the law and pay
out silver for Government dues has kept the
metal out of circulation, and by various de-
vices it has reduced the price of silver since
the Inauguration OF President Cleveland more
than fifteen per cent. 1t has closed msly of
our silver mines, and thrown thousands CO
| honest laborers out of employment.
III.
We favor q tariff upon the imported pro-
ducts of low-priced foreign labor, so as to pro-
tect the interests of American wage-workers,
tries. We demand in behalf Of our mining
interests the maintenance of the present tariff
on lead, borax, soda and other mineral pro-
ductions, and in behalf Of our wool l-growing
interests a restoration 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 on the products Of our
mines and placing wool on the free list.

citizens, and are opposed to nonresident
aliens becoming landowners. The public do
main should be reserved as homesteads for
actusl settlers, and the accumulation of large
tracts or bodies of land, In the hands OF cor
porations or individuals should be discour-
aged, 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 Government, and held for the benefit
| of actual settlers.
| We favor the intelligent organization OF
| labor for such worthy purposes as mutual
| education and for the protection OF their In
| terests in sll things relating to their welfare
and to the industrial welfare of the country.
| and we favor the enactment OF State and
National laws providing for the settlement OF
| controversies between employers and en-
ployes by methods of voluntary arbitration,
| or by the establishment of courts Of concilia-
| ton, which will avoid the waste. loss and
iIl-feeling resulting from strikes and lock-
outs, and the usual expense of litigation.
| VI.
We denounce the action of the Democratic
| House Of Representatives at its last session in
1 striking from the bill to compensate the citi-
zens of this State for losses sustained in the
Indian war of 1860 all claims for supplies fur
nished for the suppression OF Indian HOSTILE
| ties and also for services rendered during that
memorable struggle in which the lives OF a
large number of our most respected citizens
were sacrificed.
We denounce the pretense of the Demo-
cratic party OF having sympathy for the cause
of local self-sovernment In Ireland while the
Democratic House of Representatives. In
Committee of the Whole. repeatedly refused
to indorse that principle. In the months OF
April and June last that body, by Democratic
votes, on three severalS occasions, rejected q
resolution endorsing free Parliament for
| Ireland, which is in the following words:
"Resolyed, That the House of Representa-
tiyes earnestly sympathizes with Right Hon.
| William E. Gladstone and his associates IN
| their efforts to secure free Parliament Tor the
| people of Ireland, and congratulate the people
| Of that hitherto unhappy country upon the
| prospect of an early and successful term1na-
ton of their long aud patriotic struggle for
right of local self-government"
| Thereby discouraging the growth OF liberal
| spirit throughout Great Britain.
VIII.
We commend the efforts of Senator Jones
and Congressman Woodburn in obtaining ar
| appropriation of $50, 600 for public land sur
| yeys in this State, and we condemn the actor
| of the Commissioner Of the General Lano
Office in withholding moneys appropriated fol
that purpose, and particularly condemn thu
| action of Senator Fair in absenting himsel
from washington during ali the time wheI
| appropriations for this State were under con
| sideration by the Senate.
TX.
We endorse the action of Senator Jones an'
| Congressman Woodburn In their efforts II
suppress polygamy In Utah, and to check tn
growth of disloyslty to the Government II
that Territory, and we fully endorse the prin
ciples of the bill introduced for that purpos
by Congressman woodburn. We endorse tn
action of the Republican Senate in passing Il
the early days of the las. session of Congress
