evil of aggregated wealth.
This much-desired object can be accom-.
plished only by the united efforts of those
who obey the divine Injunction, AIN the
sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
Therefore we have formed the Order OF
Knights of Labor, for the purpose of organiz-
ing and directing the power OF the industrial
masses, not as a political party, for it is more
in 1t are crystalized sentiments and meas
ures for the benefit of the whole people, but
1t should be borne in mind, when exercising
the right OF suffrage, that most of the objects
herein set forth can only be obtained through
legislation. and that it is the duty of all to as
sist in nominating and supporting with their
votes only such candidates as will pledge
their support to those measures, regardless of
party. But no one shall. however, be COM
PEELED to vote with the majority, and calling
upon all who believe in securing "the greatest
good to the greatest NUMBER" to join and as
sist us, we declare to the world that our aims
are:
l. To make industrial and moral worth, not
wealth, the true standard of individual and
National greatness.
II. To secure to the workers the full enjoy
ment Of the wealth they create, sufficient
leisure in which to develop their intellectual,
moral and social faculties; all of the benefits,
recreation and pleasures Of association; in
word, to enable them to share in the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we demand
Of the STATE:
III. The establishment of Bureaus of Labor
Statistics, that we may arrive at a correct
knowledge Of the educational, moral and IL
nancial condition of the laboring masses.
~ That the public lands, the heritage OF
the people, be reserved for actual settlers; not
another acre for railroads or speculators, and
that all lands now held for speculative pur-
poses be taxed TO their full value.
V. The abrogation OF all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor, and the
removal of unjust technicalities, delays and
Determinations in the administration of
justice.
vi. The adoption of measures providing
for the health and safety of those engaged in
mining, manufacturing and building indus
tries, and for rindemnification TO those engaged
therein for injuries received through lack of
necessary safeguards.
VII The recognition by incorporation, of
trades, unions, orders, and such other associa-
tlons as may be organized by the working
masses to improve their condition and pro-
tect their rights.
VIII. The enactment of laws to compel

The alarming development and aggressive

new cruises S251, 1868. The first appropria-
ton for tine cruisers had been an unguarded
appropriation. 1t had been an appropria-
ton that left it within the power of the sec
rotary of the navy to leave the money in one
| bureau and take it out of that bureau, after
obligations had been incurred, and place it
in another. The bill finally passed. At the
evening session fifty pension bills were
passed.
In the house ON March 9Th, the state of the
union came up for general debate in COM
mittee of the whole. Mr.. Funston, of Kan
sas, made speech in opposition to the sus-
pension of silver coinage. This suspension
wasthe demand of Shylocks who already had
the pound of flesh, and now wished for
blood. 1t was the heartless demand of the
rich to have the property of the poor. 1t
was the demand of communists in gilded
palaces. The United States was strong and
need ask no favors. 1t could devise as
many ways of getting gold from Europe as
Europe could devise to get it from this
country. The monetary system of the
country was not in bad condition. The
thing to do was to let it alone. Several
other speeches were made and the house
adjourned.
In the house on March Sth, Mr.. Henley of
California, offered for reference resolu-
ton for the appointment of sub-commit-
tee to inquire into the alleged evasions of
the Thurman act by the Union Pacific rail-
road company, and to determine whether
by reason of any violation of the provisions
of that act of the corporation the right,
powers, and franchises of the company be-
come forfeited. Under the call of states
the following bills we're introduced and re-
ferred: By Mr.. Symmens, to provide for an
equitable interchange of business by the
railroads engaged in Interstate commerce;
by Mr.. Clardy, to regulate the transporta-
ton of live stock; by Mr.. Bennett, repeal
ing the civil service law. Referred to
the committee on revision OF the laws. The
committee on commerce reported back the
interstate commerce bill and it was placed
on the calendar. Mr.. O'Nell, of Pennsyl-
vania, was granted leave to file minority
repOct on the bill. The committee on pub
lie lands reported favorably the bill to de-
clare forfeited the lands granted to aid in
the construction of railroad from Port
land, Oregon, to the Central Pacific in Cali
ifornia. House calendar. The committee
on Pacific railroads, called up the bill re-
quiring the Pacific railroads to pay the cost
of the survey of the lands granted to them
by the general government, and to take out
patents for their lands. Pending discussion
the morning hour expired. The death of
Senator Miller being announced, the house
adopted a resolution of respect, and then
adjourned.
