gro wing interests restora ton of the Wool Tariff
of 1861 and we denounce the recent attempt of the
| Democratic majority in the National House of
Representatives to pass the Morrison Bill reducing
the tariff 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 az homesteads for actual settlers and
the accumulation of large tracts bodies of land
in the hands of corporations or individuals should
| be discouraged and in the OF land grants to
railroad corporations where 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 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
msnt 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 Courts Of Conciia-
ton, which will avoid the waste. loss and ill
feeling resulting rom strikes and loekouts. and
the usual expense of litigation.

| We denounce the action Of the Democratic
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
Of 1860 all claims for supplies furnished for the
suppression of Indian hostilites and also for ser
vices rendered during that memorable struggle in
which the lives OF a laEse number of our most
respected citizens were sacrificed.
VII.
| We denounce the pretense of the Democratic
| party OF having sympathy Tor 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 last that
body of Democratic votes on three separate occs-
sions rejected resolution indorsing free paTlia
ment for Ireland. which is in the following words
"ReSolUsd. That the House Of Representative earn
| estly gympsthizes with Right Hon. VIM Gladstone
and his associates in th cir efforts to secure free
parliament for the people Of Ireland and congrat.
ul8te the people of that hitherto unhappy country
upon the prospect Of an early aud successful ter
mination Of their long and patriotic struggle for
the right of local self government Thereby dis-
cOura ging the growth OF liberal spirit through
! out Great Britain.

We commend the efforts OF Senator Jones aud
| Congressman Woodburn in obtaining an appropri
| alton OF 100000 for pubic land surveys in this
state, and we condemn the action of the Com
missioner Of the General Land Once in withhold
| ing moneys appropriated fer that purpose, and
particularly condemn the action Of seustor Fair
| ia sbscntng himself from Washington during all
! the the time Hnen appropriations for this State
! were under consideration by the Senate.

| We endorse the action Of Senator Jones and
| Congre ssman WOonburn 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
troduced for that purpose by Congress sman Wood
| burn. We endorse the action of the Republican
| Sc ate in passing in the early days of the last
session Of Congr a bill 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 tho peace and tar
| nishiug the good uame 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 bhghting curse of polygamy and poly ga
| nous rule in Utah and the surrounding Terrific
ries.
We are opposed to the future importation OF
Chinese 20 this conutry, 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-
wet 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
ous callinRs, 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-called anarchists, and
believe in the most perfect protection to each and
every iunvidual in the enjoyment of the fruits OF
Al his personal efforts to earn al honest hVeliho

The paramount interest of civilization requires
that the money used a circulating medium in
any country shall at all times bear constant ratio
to the increacing population Of that county Con.
traction OF the currency involves all financial evs
to which nation be subjected, among which
are robbery Of the debtor, stSgnation of business
reduction of wHges, and the enslavement of the
mAssesfor the benefit Of bondholders and grasptng
creditors. We denounce the bondbolders' conspir-
to demonetize silver and contract the money OF
the world to single gold standard as crime
against civil zRtion, II would double the obiga-
tion Of bonds and 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 thereby
make the rch richer and the poor poorer, and im-
poverish the masses for favorite few. We are
therefore IN favor OF the free and uni aied coin
age Of both gold and silver on the bans 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
tion of citizens at home and abroad, and we par
ticularly condemn il for refusing TO make any
appropriation for fortihcatious to protect
tensive sea coast while there 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 abund-
ance generous pensions TO the disabled veterans
of our wars, whether for the country's defense or
for the preservation of the Union. We protest
against the removal from Official places Of worthy
and disabled Union soldiers to make way for par
ti2an civilians aud ex-ConfederGtes.

In common with all loyal people of the land
we mourn the loss TO our country of the heroic
dead and especially that great soldier and states
man. Ulysses 8 Grant nis life will forever be
an inspiration to high and honorable manhood
patriotic devotion TO country and loyalty to the
nripciples oflRepubicanism which he so httingly
represented and did so much TO advance. We shall
