We are opposed to the futur
importation of Chinese to thi
country, or of any other foreign
) laborers, under the contract sys-
tenn, and we favor any IAN fol
the relief Of free labor from com
petition with convict labor
which does not impose upon
free labor the expense Of sup
porting convict labor in idIenes2
Or useless labor. And we favor
the adoption Of laws providing
for the protection ofworkers in
cur mines and other hazardous
callingS, and such other meas
ures as will approve the mater
ial and social welfare Of our in
dus:rial population. We are
earnestly opposed to the doctrine
OF the so-called anarchists, and
we believe in the most perfect
protection to each and every in
dividual in the enjoyment OF the
fruits Of all his personal efforts
to earn an honest livelihood.
Nj.
The paramount interest of
civilization requires that the
money used as circulating me-
dunn in any country shall at all
times bear constant ratio to
the increasing population of that
country. Contraction of the
currency involves all financial
evils to which a nation can be
subjected, among of which are
robbery of the debtor, stagnation
of business, reduction of wages,
and the enslavement of the
masses for the benefit of bond
holders and grasping creditors
We denounce the bondholders.
conspiracy to demonetize silver
AMI contract the money of the
world to single gold standard
as a crime against civilization.
1t would double the obligation
of bonds and all other contracts
for the payment Of money,
which now aggregate in the
civilized world the enormous
sum Of more than one hundred
thousand million dollars, and
thereby make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and impov-
eriSh the masses for a favorite
few. We are therefore in favor
of the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver On
the basis now provided by law.
XII.
We condemn the Democratic |
House of Representatives for re-
fusing to make tine necessary |
appropriations for the censtruc-
ton of a suitable navy for the
defense OF our commerce and
the protection of our citizens at
home and abroad, and we par
tieularly condemn it for refusing
to make any appropriation for
fortitications to protect our ex-
.ensive sea coast while there
was vast surplus in the Treas
lry, and thousands of laborers
out of employment.
XIII.
We again declare our constant
'ympathy with the just and con-
'istent Republican policy and
practice Of granting out of the
Nations abundance generous
pensions to the disabled veterans
If our wars, whether for the
defense or for the
preservation ofthe Union. We
protest against the removal from
official places of worthy and dis
,bled Union soldiers to make
way for partisan civilians and
ex-Confederates.
XIV.
In common with all loyal peo-
Die Of the land we mourn the
oss to our country Of the heroic
lead, and especially that great
Republican, as well as great sol
!ier and statesman, Ulysses s.
irant. His life will forever be !
IN inspiration to high and hon
,rahle manhood, patriotic de-
,Otion to our cOuutry and loyalty
o the principles Of Republican,
