Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-29

district of Indiana by it's Judge and at
torney, to the service and protection of
conspirators against the suffrage, con-
stitutes the most infamous chapter in
judicial annals of the republic.
''We denounce the tariff monoplists
for their efforts to perpetuate
themselves in power by measure in
consistent with free institutions
contrary to good morals. We find in
the force election bill bill creating
rotten borough states, and in the Nc
Kinley tariff bill the open manifestation
OF gigantic cinspiracy to Cypress the
groaning people with additional burdens
OF taxation for private benefits.
"We denounce the silver bill, social
ed, recently enacted, as an ignominious
surrender to the money power. 1t per-
petuates the demonetization of silver
and the single gold standard, whereas
the interests of the people require the
complete reconciliation of silver, and
its restoration to perfect equality
with gold in our coinage.
We demand the free and
unrestricted coinage of silver upon the
basis existing prior to 1873.
I'VE are in favor, as we always were, of
a just and liberal pension system. We
denounce the Republican party for
making pledges to veterans in 1888,
which have not been redeemed, and
even not intended to be redeemed, and
we warn them against further attempts
at deception from the same quarters.
We rejoice at the evident awakening of
the farmers OF the country to the
necessity for organized efforts to better
their condition and to protect them
selves against unjust legislation. We
demand legislation prohibiting aliens
from acquiring lands in America, and
for the forfeiture of titles to 2O,742, 900
acres Of our public lands now held by
them. We favor the election of United
States senators by the people.
1--WE applaud the eight hour law, the
law to prevent black listing laws for
protecting miners, and the law pre-
venting the importation of Pinkerton
detectives, and the repeal of the Re-
publican intimidation bill of 1881. AS
manifestation of the steadfast friend
ship OF the Democratic party to the
workingmen, we point to these. laws as
evidence that our friendship is not con-
fined to words alone.
"We denounce the employment of
Pinkerton men by railroad corpora
tions in the pending contest
with their employees, and hold
it to be the duty of the state and local
officers everywhere to prevent such an
usurpation by capital Of the police
power OF the state. We are in favor of
arbitration as the only just and fair
method of settling labor controversies,
and demand of the next legislature the
passage OF a law creating a permanent
tribunal of arbitration for that purpose.
We insist that labor has as good a right
to organize in self-protection as capital,
and that labor organization should be
placed on perfect equality before the
law with the organizations of capital
known as corporations"
