| the growth of the hostile power of Mormon
Church, which is threatening the peace and tar
nishing the good name of the United States We
condemn the action of the Democratic House of
Representatives in refusing during all the long
session of Congress which has just closed to con-
slider any measure tending to relieve our country
from the blighting curse OF polygamy and polyga-
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, 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 ideness useless labor. And we
favor the adoption of Laws providing for the pro-
lection OF workers in our mines and other hazard
ous callipgs and such other measures Will ap-
prove the material and social welfare of our
indust rial pC pulAtion. We earnestly opposed
to the doctrine Of the so-cAed anarchists. and
believe in the most perfect protection to each and
every individual in the enjoyment OF the fruits of
all his personal efforts to Anhonest lVeliho d.

The paramount interest Of civilization requires
thar the money used as circulating medium in
any country shall at all times bear constant ratio
to the inereacing population Of that county Con-
traction OF the currency Involves all financial evil
| to which nation be subjected, among which
are robbery Of fhe debtor stsgnation of business
reduction Of wages, aud the euslavement OF the
mass'sfor the bsncft of bondholders and graspn9
creditors. We dtnounce the bondholders' conspir
20 demonefizs silver and contract the money OF
the world to 4 single gold standard q crime
against civil cation. II would double the obliga-
tion of bonds and all other contracts for the pay
ment Of money, which now aggregate in the civil
lied world tire enormous sum Of more than one
hundred thousand million dollars, and thereby
make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and in
poverish the masses for fsyoTite Jew. We ar g
therefore in favor Of the free and uni United coin
age Of both gold and silver on the basis now pro-
vided by law.
We condemn the Democratic House Of Represen-
tatives for refusing to make the necessary appro-
priations for the construction OF suitable navy
for the defense of our commerce and the pro tee
tioD of citizsn mt home aud abr 'ad, AID W. par
ticuiArlv condemn II for refusing TO make any
appropriation for forthcatious to protect
tensive sea coast while there was vast surplus in
the Treasury, and Thousands OF ls6orers out of
employment.
We again declare our constant sympathy with
the Just aud consistent Republican policy and
practice Of granting out of the Nations abuud-
aDcs generous pensions to the disabled veterans
Of our wars, whether for the country's defense
for the pr seryation of the Union. We protest
against the tmovAl from othcisl places Of worthy
ana disabled Union soldiers to make way for par
tizan civilians aud ex-Corfsderates.
In common with all loyal people of the land,
we mourn the loss to country Of the heroic
dead aud especially that great soldier and states
man, Ulysses S Grant. fiis life Will forever be
inspiration TO high and honorable manhood,
patriotic devotion TO our country and loyalty TO the
principles Disqualification which he so Httingly
represented and did so much 70 sivsnre. We shall
ever treasure bis memory aud cherish his deeds.

1t is the duty of this State to maintain free
schools not only in tow and thtckly populated
sections hut In the rural and sparsely settled dis
tricts and the education Of pupils in the spar
sely settled sections of the State Is necessarily
more expensive per capita than where large
number of pupils can attend the same school, such
a division OF the school money shoult be made
Will furnish the means Of ucHtIon to all child
rem in the state,
Expenditures beyond the mesns of private in
dividuNls are required for surveys, engineering
and the construction o; reservoirs. canals and
other hydraulic works, for the purpose Of irriga-
tion in this state. We therefore favor liberal ap
prOpriatstions by Congress for surveys both hy-
geographical and typographical 10 certain how
The waters of this state which now to waste
in flood time, may be stored and utilized for the
purpose Of agriculture, To the end that when all
the facts are known suitable aid may be obtained
from Congress to enable the Government Of the
United States to dispose of its lands and to
enable toe people to settle upon and occupy
the same.
Resolved. That two years experience has dem
onstrated that the present jury law which COM
pels citizens, at their own expense, without regard
to their pecuniary ability or The losses they may
suffer, summsrily SUSPEND their usual occupa
tions. break their business engagements, travel
long distances. and remain from their homes for
uncertain period, and attend upon District
Courts as Jur men, Is a measure of un~ise econo
my, o ten productive Of great hardship ana IN
just imposition OF public burdens cpon private
individuals. We therefore demAnd OF TIC .cSt
Legislature such Legislation shsll secure TO all
citizens fair compensation for all tho time whi CHI
they spend, and fun neimhursemsnt for all ex-
penses which they incur in performing the duties
Of jurymen in the Distrie Courts.
