Immigration.
We hold that the most efficient way to
protect American labor is to prevent the
importation of foreign pauper labor to
compete with II in the home market, and
that the value of the home market to our
American farmers and artisans Is greatly
reduced by a vicious monetary system,
which depresses the price of their pro-
ducts below the cost Of production, and
thus deprives them of the means Of pur-
chasing the products of our home manu-
facture.
Congressional Appropriations
We denounce the profigate waste Of
the money wrung from the people by OPP
pressive taxation and the lavish appro-
prations Of recent Republican Con-
crosses, which have kept taxes high,
while the labor that pays them is unem-
ployed. and the products Of the peoples
toll are depressed in price until they no
longer repay the cost Of production. We
demand a return to that simplicity and
economy which best beft a Democratic
government and reduction in the mum

Federal Interference.
We denounce arbitrary interference by
Federal authorities in local affairs us
violation Of the Constitution OF the Unit
ed States and a crime against free insti-
tutions, and we especially object TO gov
eminent by Injunction as new and high
ly dangerous form OF oppression, by
which Federal judges, in contempt OF the
laws OF the States and rights Of citizens,
become at once legislators, judges and ex-
ecnuoners' and we approve the biil pass.

and usage Of one hundred years, and
sanctioned by the examples OF the great
est and wisest of those who founded and
have maintained our government, that
no man should be eligible for third
