the cessation of this war. With reference
to this connection at Porto Rico it is de-
clared that the declaration OF independ-
ence, the constitution, and the American
flag are one and inseparable. 1t is also de-
clared in this connection that the island of
Porto Rico is part of the territory of the
United States made so by our promises
and the consent of the Porto Ricans them
selves.
There is strong resolution of sympathy
for the Beers, declaration against the mo-
nopolizing of public land for speculative
purposes, demand for return to the orig
inal homestead policy, declaration for
the placing of all goods controlled by the
trusts upon the free tariff list, condemna-
ton for the governor of Idaho and the fed
eral government in connection with the
Occur dAlene troubles. and the usual de-
mand for the initiative and referendum.
Trusts are denounced and the populistic
method for the control of public utilities
such as the railroads and the Geographic
systems and of the issuance of money is
recommended as the proper remedy fol
this evil.
