Its allegiance to those great principles for which

Organization, and which have been from time &c

2. In the interest OF the country at large And
particularly In the interest OF the peopl9 OF this
great agricultural northwest, it afirms its CON
viction that this nation owes to its own citizens
and their industries all reasonable protection
against competition with foreign LABOR: ana u
believes that this can be beat aha most certainly
Afforded by the friends OF protection, rather than
by those who declare, ~ aid the last democratic
national convention, that protection is unconstt-
tHtional and fraudulent, and which declaration
hiss emttten this whole country with q blight
that has wIthered is manufacturing industries,
shriveled it's commerce, and dried up the foun.
tam of it's finances.
4. The policy of a democratic congress, which
ewes upon this country the tribute VI millions
in behalf of the sugar trust, and roDs THIS
country's wool growers OF millions IN behalf OF
Australian flock owner, hae been htly Character
lied by q democratic president as peFddy and dis

S. Feeling that American citizenship should
be protected against the importation of pauper
and criminal classes from abroad, we favor such
modification OF our immigration laws as viii
more fully effect such protection
9. We layor the use Of both silver and gold as
money, at q ratio ofl6 to /, confuing the coinage
Of silver TO the american product, AZ the net cost
or the actual expense of coinage; and we demand
that silver ms well as gold shall be illegal tender
for the payment of all debts, both Eubilc and
private; and we pledge the congressional nom

pies herein contained.
= The abnormal development OF the idea OF
corporation of capital has resulted In modern
times ID immense aggregati0ns or money 10 GER
tain classes OF private enterprise, Inc orporations
OF c0rpo~ratiOn-aud we therefore declare our
sslyea In favor of such legislation as win thwart
the danger0ns power OF trusts and combines, and
prevent so far as possible the aggrtsstons OF
these tremendous accumulations Of capital.
s. We consider il the duty u every pstriOtic

the hCma interests Oh our young RbatD--n4Tl-
culture, mining manufacturing and commercial
and IL Is the duty OF the state government 10
throw around them sueh laws as will Insure fair
and reasonable protection. The transportation
companies and these interests are so interlocked
thai we demand of our Legislature that the rail-
way commissioners ehali be dignihed with
sufficient authority to properly protect sHch inter-
ests against unjust aiscfiminations by such trans
p0rtatlon companies.
