What U this "nervous trouble" with
which so inuiiy seem now to be uilllcted
If you will reiuuuiber a fow years ago tho
word Malaria was comparatively unknown,
to-day it is a common u any word in the.
Jingllah language, yot this word covers on
ly the meaning of anothor word used by
our forefathers In times pant. So it is with
nervous (li-.eusoi-. as thoy and Malaria are
intondod to cover, what our grandfathers
called liiliouMikrsn. and all are caused by
troubles that urie from a dUoauod eoiuli
tion of the JJwr which in performing its
functions finding it cannot dUpoou of tho
Wlo through the ordinary channel w com
iwlled to pus it oil' through the wyetoin,
causing nervous treuhles, Malaria, Bilious

appreciate u cure. We recommend Oreen's

pense of tho practical destruction of
many of our most important agricul
tural and manufacturing industries.
IV. We favor the policy of provid
ing chiefly for the revenues of tho
general government, and for other
purjiogos essential to the general gov
ernment, a system of duties levied on
imports, so adjusted as to discriminate
in favor of domestic industries and
productions and in favor of American
labor, and we declare in favor of reduc
ing'the annual surplus revenues of the
government by admitting free of duty
such articles of general Use as cannot
lo largely produced or manufactured
by our people.
V. That we deprecate the attempt
of the democratic administration to
degrade the honest toil of America to a
level with the pauper labor of tho old
Wlil.
VI. That while disclaiming the
right to interfere with the administra
tion of the internal all'airs of foreign
nations, we sincerely approve the ef
forts of Irish and English statesmen to
secure by peaceful methods the Amer
ican principle of "home rule" for Ire
land. VII. That we are in favor of such
legislation as should prohibit and pun
ish the manufacture or sale of adulter
ated food.
VIII. That we are in favor of the
enactment of a law by congress where
by the homestead or pre-emption rights
of settlors shall be forfeited by cancella
tion of filings by tho land department
when settlement or filing is made, in
good faith.
IX. That wo favor the encouraging
and development of our stato by the
construction of railroads and other
means of transportation, and that wo
hold'all corporations to be strictly re
sponsible to their liabilities under the
law and recognize the right of tho leg
islature to exact all reasonable limita
tions on corporate power.
X. That we regard tho further im
migration into the United States, of
Chinese laborers as directly opposed
to tho interests of American labor, and
we therefore heartily approve the ac
tion of tho republican senate in pro
viding by proper legislation for so
amending our treaties with China as
to prevent their further immigration
here.
XI. We recognize that tho nation
owes a debt to the surviving veterans
of the great rebellion, which connot bo
adequately paid, and hold it to be a
duty of the general government to
provide for the necessities of them and
theirs by prompt payment of liberal
pensions.
XII. That the action of President
Cleveland in ordering tho return of the
rebel Hags was an unwarranted assump
tion of the right to use for political pur
poses the trophies of a valor ho did not
possess and the fruits of a victory he
did not help to secure.
XIII. While we approve every hon
est ell'ort to preserve our public lands
by tho punishment of willful trespasses
upon them, and aro in favor of such
measures as will encourage our citizens
to settle up and improve them, wo con
demn tho action of the present admin
istration in its pretended etlbrts to pro
tect said lands, under color of which,
instead of pursuing tho policy of tho
republican administrations by causing
the arrest and punishment of those
only, whose actions appeared to have
been dishonest and criminal, it has re
fused to cause said lands to be sur
veyed, thereby discouraging their set
tlement by people desiring and need
ing to take them. Tho administra
tion lias also filled the country with a
horde of officers, styling themselves
special agents of tho interior depart
ment, who have been made to act as
spies and informers on such of the
honest citizens as have ventured to
Eettle upon the public lands for the
purpose of caiving for themselves
homes in tho wilderness, and has
caused the arrest of honest settlers upon
those lands upon charges false and in
famous, and publicly branding thorn
as robbers and thieves; has caused
them to be dragged into tho civil and
criminal courts to bo tried upon false
and ficticious charges, thereby com
pelling them to incur tho expense ol
two defenses against the same act;
has caused these sanio special agents
to raise questions and dispute tho right
of honest citizens to acquire title to tho
public lands upon which they have
honestly and in good faith settled and
for which they have paid their nionoy,
and, acting upon the suggestions of
these agents, tho officers having such
matters in charge have under tho dir
ection of the administration, like a
court organized to convict, deprived
tho settler of his land, robbed him of
tho benefits of his labor, and refused to
return his money, and these wrongs
have been perpetuated against tho set
tlers with no apparent object but to
furnish a pretext for tho cry of demo
cratic reform.
XIV. We denounce and deplore
tho refusal of President Cleveland to
approve the last river and harbor bill,
and wo denounce tho action of tho
last secretary of war in what seems to
bo a studied attempt to delay tho im
provement of tho Columbia river; and
fully recognizing tho importancoof our
waterways as regulators of freight char
ges, not only on the waterways them
selves but on the railroads as well, wo
insist that our great rivers should be
free and open to tho sea, and wo de
mand of tho general government need
ed appropriations therefor, at tho same
timo recommending to tho noxt legis
lature to take proper and adequate
steps to assist at once in oponiug tho
great river to gonoral commerce
XV. Wo donounco tho civil sorvico
reform professions of President Clovo
land aa a shwin and fraud, as promises
made to seouru votes before election,
and the violation of which has been as
mni-tant as tho hunger ol tho demo
ej.itic olllce scokur ciOuld demand.
