We arc opposed to the further i'm.
portation Of Chinese to this country, or
any other foreign laberers, under the
contract system, and We 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 convicts in idleness and
useless labor. And We favor the adop.
ton Of laws providing for the protection
of workers in our mines and other hazard.

Contraction Of the currency involves all
financial evils to which nation can be
subjected, among which are robbery Of
the debtor, stagnation OF business, re.
duction of wages and the enslavement of
the masses for the benefit Of bondholders
and grasping creditors. We denounce
the bondholders' conspiracy to demone.

We are, therefore, in favor Of the free and

upon the basis now provided by law.

We condemn the Democratic House Of
Representatives for refusing to make the
necessary appropriations for the con.
