The act OK July "a. 1890, provides for the pur.
chase Of the silver product of American mines i
and issuing OF the now treasury notes protect /
ed by a reserve of 100 cents worth Of silver Tor
every dollar issued. We commend this policy /
Of maintaining gold and silver az a parity. the i
treasury rates paid for silver to he kept at par
with gold. The voice OF New York ia emphatic /
against any degradation OF the CURRENCY and /
demands with President Harrison that every 1
| dollar issued by the government, whether /
paper OF coin, shall be as good az every other
| dollar.

The Cause Of Labor.
We recognizes the dignity Of labor and the ne
oessty Of proper legislation TO protect itsinter-
ests. We deprecRte any attempt 70 lessen the
fruits Of toll or to place honest workmen In
competition with paupers and convicts, do.
nestle or foreign.
We indorae the provisions of the act known
| "a the Fassett law and we condemn the erasure
OF the provisions Of that act by the present state
administration The rigid enforcement OF the
Allen labor contract law s commended. We
indnrse the laws enacted by the late Republican
congress % protect our people against the in
flux Of the vicious, pauper and criminal classee
Of foreign nations, and we emphahcally ap.
prove the rigid enforcement of these laws.
We reassert the expressed determination Of
the Republican party 70 maintain the right of
franchise to its fullest extent and 70 give all
! citizons the amplest protection 70 which they
! are entitled under the constitution.

cruelties and prosecutions practiced upon the

q justice OF this people and the intervention Of

10 the oppressed Of all foreign nations equal
a rights under their laws is commended.
