men of America a just participation
in the earnings of their toll, and to
that end insist upon the mainten
ance of such standard of wages as
shall supply the necessaries and
comforts of life, enable them to rear
and educate their fanatics and pro-
vide for the exigencies of accident
or disease and the wants of old age.
We deplore conflicts between labor
and capital, and advocate the crea-
ton of boards of arbitration and con-
citation for the adjustment of diff
ferences between employers and en-
ployes.
That we denounce the employ
ment of private and irresponsible
bodies of armed men rany purpose
whatsoever, and pledge the efforts
of the republican party for the en-
forcement of appropriate Legislation
Of the provisions in our state constl-
tuition to restrain such invasions Of
the authority Of the states and the
rights of citizens. We condemn the
democratic house of representatives,
for it's neglect to pass the anti-Plnk-
erton bill.
That we recommend the passage
by congress of a law making post
Offices savings banks of deposit and
exchange as means of fosterings
thrift among the working classes by
affording them facilities for the safe
custody for their earnings.
That while we would not depart
from that policy of hospitality to the
poor and oppressed of other lands
which has so adorned our history
and contributed to our growth, we
advocate such Il revision of our laws
respecting immigration and natural
ization as shall check the influx and
elevation to citizenship of those
whose presence here degrades the
wages of labor, endangers our lnstl-
tutons and cheapens and corrnpts
the elective franchise.
That the debt of the nation to the
men who preserved it can never be
paid in dollars and cents, and that
we earnestly and heartily favor a
system of pensions so liberal as to
provide adequately for the living
and tenderly protect from want the
widows and orphans of the dead.
That we condemn the proposition
announced in the national platform
of the democratic party to repeal the
tax levied by act of congress on the
circulation of state banks, a measure
that would again food the country
with wildcat money and subject the
people to the annoyance and loss
of fluctuating and deprecated cur
rency.
That we disapprove of the action
of the democratic members OF the
legislative assembly of Montana IN
creating useless offices for no other
purpose than to reward polltical
favorites at the expense of the peo-
pie for PARTISAN services.
That we favor the erection of edu-
cational, charitable and penal instl-
tutions by the state as speedily as
the same can be done without visit
ing undue burdens upon taxpayers:
and recommend in their location due
REGARD be had to the claims of diff
ferent parts of the state, and that IN
the furnishing of materials and the
employment of labor for their con
struction, preference be given tc
citizens of Montana.
That we commend to the consider
alton of the Legislative assembly the
revision of the revenue law OF the
state to the end that a just proper
ton of the burdens of the govern
ment shall be collected from proper
ty, real and personal, and license
taxes upon the occupations OF clu
zens be removed or readjusted.
That we recognize with gratifica
ton the faithful and diligent serv
ices of Hon. Thomas G.. Power, ou
senator in congress, in promoting
the interests of their constituent
and maintaining the principles of th'
republican party.
That we commend the liberal ant
efficient administration of the gener
al land office under Hon. Thomas ID
Carter in the interest Of the settler
of the west.
That we tender to Hon. James u
Blaine our heartfelt sympathy In tn
orievous bereavement that recent,
cast its pail over his home, and on
reverence for his high character an
brilliant craftsmanship, and cheris
the hope that we may witness hi
early restoration to health and hi
elevation to that position with whlc
his fellow countrymen would dellgf
to honor him in recognition OF III
eminent ability and illustrious serv
ices.
