Democratic majority in the National Bouse of
Representatives to pass the Morrison Bill reducing
the tariff on the product of mines and placing
wool on the free list.
We believe in American soil for American citi-
zent, and are opposed to nonresident aliens be-
coming land owners. The public domain should
be reserved as homesteads for actual settlers, and
the accumulation of large tracts bodies Of land
In the hands Of corporations individuals should
be discouraged, and in the case Of land grants to
railroad corporations wbrre the corporations have
failed to comply with the conditions of the grants
the land should be forfeited to the General Gov
ernment, and held for the benefit of actual set
tiers.
We favor the intelligent organization of labor
for sue b worth purposes as mutual education and
for the protection of their interests in all things

welfare Of the country, and we favor the enact

settlement of controversies between employers
and employees by methods of voluntary Rrbitrs-
ton. or bv the establishing of Courts Of Concila-
ton, which will avoid the waste, loss bnd ILL
feeling resulting rom strikes and lock-outs. and
the usual expense of litigation.

House of Representives at its last session in strik
ing from the bill to compensate the citizens of
this State for losses sustained in the Indian War
suppression Of Indian hostilities, and also for ser
vices rendered durins that memorable struggle In
which the lives of q large number of our most
respected citizens were sacrificed
We denounce the pretense of the Democratic
party of having sympathy for the cause Of local
self-government iu Ireland, while the Democratic
House Of Representatives, In Committee of the
whole, repeatedly refused to indorse that princi-
pie. In the months of April and June last that
body of Democratic votes on three separate occs-
sions rejected resolution indorsing free parlia

We commend the efforts of Senator Jones and
Congressman Woodburn in obtaining an sppropri-

We opposed to the future importation OF
Chinese to this conutry, or of any other for ign
laborers und er 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 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 caiings, and such other measures a. will aP-
prove the material and social welfare of our
indust rial population. We are earnestly opposed
to the doctrine of the so-caled anarchists and we
believe in the most perfect protection to each and
every individual in the enjoyment Of the fruits of

We condemn the Democratic House OF Represen-
tatves for refusing to make the necessary appro-
pristions for the construction of a suitable navy

tculArly condemn II for refusing to make any
appropriation for fortihcations to protect our

We again declare our constant sympathy with
the Just and consistent Republican policy and
practice OF granting out OF the Nations Rbund-
ance generous pensions TO the disabled veterans
of our wars whether for the cOuntrys defense or
for the preservation of the Union. We protest
against the removal FROM official PLACES oi worthy
and disabled Union soldiers to make way for par

In common with all loyal people of the land,
we mourn the loss to our country of the heroic
