re ui1xlterably opposed to any alliance, |
open or covert, between the United States |
! and any other nation, which will tend to |
the destruction or abrldgetnent of human |
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration of indie
pendence, the Constitution and the Flag
are one and inseparable. The island Of
Porto Rico is a part Of the United States, |
and placing upon it the burden of certain |
duties as well rs by denying its people |
delegate to Congress, the Administra
ZION has violated the Constitution. aban- |
aoned the fundamental principles of
american liberty, and has striven to give
the lie to the contention of our fore |
fathers that ali men are created equal, |
that government rests for its sanction |
upon the consent of the governed, and !
that representation and taxation are in
~eperable.

law, applicable to al! labor in mines,
mills, smelters and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
