Republican administration and all the
methods that have been employed to
fix this colonial policy on our free re-
publican form of government. We are
also opposed to the retention of the
Philippine islands by the United States
government.
Resolved, sixth, That we oppose and
denounce the Dingley and Porto Rican
tariff laws, passed by a Republican con-
gress over the protests of the people,
and demand for Porto Ricans the right
of freely importing and exporting to and
from any part of the United States.
Resolved, seventh, That we are OPP
posed to trusts, combines and all mo-
nopolies calculated to infringe upon the
rights of the people, and demand the
enactment of legislation, State and ma
~tional, to protect the people from the
exactions and extortions of all such
illegal organizations.
Resolved, eighth, That we are op-
posed to militarism, imposing, as it
does, unnecessary burdens upon the
country, and denounce this effort Of the
Republican administration to increase
our standing army as a menace to free
government and insist upon the su-
premacy of the civil over the military
authorities.
Resolved, ninth, That we favor the
construction of the Nicaragua canal,
by and under the control of the United
States, but denounce the Hay-Paupce-
fort treaty as a complete abandonment
of the claims of our statesmen of our
right to construct and control an inter-
oceanic canal, and as a base surrender
of our rights of self-defense.
Resolved, tenth, That we heartily in
dorse the present able Democratic ad-
ministration of this State, and declare
the same entirely worthy of confidence,
and we congratulate Governor Longino
and the other State officers for the
splendid beginning they have made in
the execution of the duties of their re-
spective officers.
