la'ion, and the full powers Of the government
should be exerted to secure this result.

against foreign governments which levy upon or
bar out our products from their markets. rev.
no incidental Of

tax on what the people possess, instead OF upon
what they consume.

lating medium sufficient in quantity to meet the
requirements of business and to give full oppor-
tunity for the employment OF labor.

knowledge o. our laws as a condition precedent
to citizenship.

pay the same in work if they SO desire.
Eighth-Since the laws of nature are in
exorable and demand for humanity one days
rest in seven, our laws should guarantee to all
their right to this rest.
Ninth-That as we have great reason for en-
couragement as party in the fact that confusion
has come to the ranks of our political opponents,
giving us our greatest opportunities to show the
people that the leading question in politics IL
the protection of the home against the saloon.
We recommend that special effort be made to
reach every pre- cinct in our state with the prin-
ciples OF prohibition.
WHEREAS, The existing conflict between CAPT
talists ana iaborers. entailing loss of life and
the destruction of property, besides disturbing
trade in almost every channel, shows the alb
solute need Of some proper tribune to decide
questions in dispute between the employer and
employed; therefore, be it
Resolred, That we, as Prohibitionists, ever
having IN view all tina: can benefit our fellow
men, favor the establishment of state courts of
arbitration for the settlement of such disputes,
and the passage of laws by our state legislature
as will abolish all Sweating system as prac-
ticed in some of the mining districts OF this
state.
Resolued That we favor for the workingmen q
aif-holday on Saturday, believing the same
would tend to the general good oil all lines OF le-
climate business,
