mineral productions, and on behalf of our wool
growing Interests restora ton of the Wool Tariff
of 1867 and we denounce the recent attempt of the
Democratic majority in the National Bouse of
Representatives pass the Morrison Bill reduo ing
the tariff ou the product of our 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 HON teAds for actual settlers. and
the accumulation of large tracts bodies of land
in the hands of corporations or individuals should
be discouraged and 10 the case OF land grants to
railroad corporations whrrs the corporations have
failed to comply with the conditions of the grants
| the land should be forfeited TO the General Gov
eTnment, and held for the benefit of actual set
tiers.
| We favor the intelligent organization of labor
| for such worth purposes as mutual education and
for the protection of their interests in all things
relating to their welfare and to the industrial
welfare Of the country, and we favor the enact
ment of State and National laws providing for the
settlement of controversies between employers
and employees by methods of voluntary arbitrs-
tion, by the establishing of Courte Of Concilia-
| ton, which will avoid the waste, loss and i'll
feeling resulting from strikes and lock-outs. and
the usual expense Of LITIGATION.

| We denounce the action Of the Democratic
House of Representatives al II last session in strik
! ing from the bill to compensate the citizens of
this State for losses sustained in the Indian War
| Of 1850 all claims for supplies furnished for the
suppression of Indian hostilites and also for
vice. rendered durins that memorable struggle in
which the lives of 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 in 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 las that
| body Of Democratic votes on three separate occa-
sions rejected resolution indOrsing free parlia
| ment Tor Ireland. which Is in the following words
''Rssoived. That the House Of Representative
estly sympathizes with Right Hon. VIM Gladstone
ana his associates in their efforts to secure free
parliament for the people of Ireland and congrat-
ulate the people of that hitherto unhappy country
upon the prospect of early and successful ter
minstion of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right of local self government Thereby is
couraging the growth OF liberal spirit through
out Great Britain.
| We commend the efforts of Senator Jones and
| Congressman woodburn in obtaining an appropri-
| alton OF 900 for pubic land surveys in this
| state and condemn the action of the Com
missioner of the General Land Once in withhold
| ing moneys appro oprlated for that purpose, and
| particularly condemn the actor Of Senator Fair
il sbsenting himself from Washington during all
the the time when appropriations for this State
| were under consideration by the Senate.
| IX.
We endorse the action Of Senator Jones and
| Congo. ssmsn WOodburn in their efforts to sup
| press pelygamy in Utah and TO check the growth
Of disloyalty to the Government in that Territory
and we fully endorse the principles OF the bill in
| troducfd for that purpose by Congress smHn Wood
| burn. We endorse the gctiOn of the Republican
| Sc ate in passing In the early days Of the last
session of COGSr a biii we'll calculated to sup
| press the growing evil of polygamy, and check
| the growth of the hostile power of Mormon
| Church, which is threatening the peace and tar.
nishng the good name of the United states We
| condemn the action Of the Democratic House OF
Representatives in refusing during all the lone
session Of Congress which has just closed to con-
| slider any measure tending to relieve our country
from the blighting curse Of lygamy and poly ga
nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
ries.
We are opposed to the future importation of
Chinese to this conutry, or Of any other foreign
labOrers uDd er the contract system, and We favor
| any plan for the relief of free labor from compe-
| titon with convict labor. which does not impose
| upon free labor the expense of supporting con-
| Wet labor in idleness useless labor. And we
favor the adoption Of laws providing for the pro-
| lection of workers in our mines and other hazard
GUS callings, and such other measures will sp-
| prove the material and social welfare of our
| tndust rial po pulation. We earnestly opposed
to the doctr ne of the so-oaled anarchists. and
believe in the most perfect protection to each and
every individual In the enjoyment of the fruits
all his personal efforts to earn an honest lveliho d.
| The paramount interest Of civilization requires
| that the money used as a circulating medium in
any country shall at all times bears constant ratio
| TO the increacing population of that county. Con
traction OF the currency involves ali ninc al evils
| TO which a nation eau be subjected. among which
| robbery Of the debtor stsgnation OF business
| reduction OF wages. and the enssvement of the
| msssesfor the benefit Of bondholders and graspinR
creditors. We denounce the bondholders' conspir-
to demonetize silver and contract the money OF
| the world to a single gold standard a crime
against civil zStion. 1t would double the obliga-
tion Of bonds ana all other contracts for the pay
ment of money, which now aggregate in the civil
| lied world the enormous sum Of more than one
hundred thousand million dollars. and tnereby
make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and Ia
poverish the masses for a favorite few We are
therefore in favor OF the free and uni mited coin
age of both gold and silver on the basis now pro.
| vded by law.
We condemn the Democratic HouBe OF RepTesen-
tatives for refusing to make the necessary appro-
priations for the construction of a suitable navy
| for the defense of our commerce and the pro tee
| ton of citizens at home and abroad, aud par.
| ticulsrlv condemn it for refusing TO mako any
| appropriation for fortihcations TO protect
tensive coast while there WAS vast surplus in
| the Treasury and thousands of lAborers out of
! employment
| We again declare our constant sympathy with
| the lust and consistent Republican policy and
practice Of granting out of the Nations abuud-
aucs generous pensions to the disabled vetcraus s
! of our wars whether fer the countrys defense or
| for the preservation OF the Union. We protest
| against the removal from othcal places Of worthy
and disabled Union soldiers to make way for par
| tizan civilians and ex-Confederates

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