editorial on the acquisition of Cuba by

to grudge their possession; England's
possessions in those seas are so exposed
to attack at present that the danger can
not be augmented lu the interests of com

ments, but after debate the matter was
laid on the table and the Committee dis
charged.
The Committee on Female Labor made
a report, which was adopted as folloWs:
Rezolved, That this Congress recom
mend that all the Trades Unions make
immediate ()flint to_aecure a thorough
organization of female labor and demand
the same pay for work equally well done
by woman as well as man; that every
avenue- of labor for , which woman is
physically capacitated should be freely
opened to her on the setae terms and
conditions as allowed to 'any class of
laborers; we ask for vromen.equal oppor
tunities and rights in every, field of en
terprise and labor.
A resolution was adopted for the
pointment of a Committee on Ways and
Means and a Standing Committee.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
Coolie labor, but, declaring that volun.
tary Chinese emigrants should be pro
tected like other citizens.
A special CoMmittee on a new political.
party was appointed. Recess.
During the morning session a long re
port in reference to the trouble in the
coal mining districts was read. The
only point in It is thespggestion'that it 15
A question whether the Government
should not take possession orthe coal
mines, the country paying the present
owners a fair valuation for the same and
run these mines as the gold mines of
California have been run, in the interest
of the whole people. Thereterved right
to all the natural wealth of the country
should never pass out of the hands of
the people into wetlands of monopolists.
A platform was adopted, of which the
following is a synopils: That all politi
cal power is Inherent in the people and
pure government is founded on their au
thority and established for their benefit.
That laborers in, all departments' of
usetul Industry aresuffering from a sys
tem of monarchial laws which were. en
acted during the late war, as measures,
it was assumed, necessary to the life of
the nation' and which are now sought
to be perpetuated in the interest
of bond. holders and bankers
to subvert the Government of our fath
ers, and establish on its ruin "an
empire in which all political power will
be centralized, to restrain and oppress
rights of labor and subordinate its
votaries to the merciless demand of
aggregated capital and supercilious
authoritory,
That the National banking system has
been inimical to the spirit of liberty and
subversive of the principles of justice.
and without warrant in the Constitution
of the United States, and wrongfully in
creasing the burden of the wealth pro
ducing classes millions of dollars annu
ally; Justice. the aspirations of honest
industry, and spirit of imperilled liberty
demand its Immediate repeal, and the
subatitution of
a ltjgal tender notes' as the
exclusive ercrrrenefer the 'whin." • • '
-- That the National Labor Union is -op
posed to the continuation and creation of
banks by acts of incorporation, by either
State or National authority, with the
privilege ot making, issuing or putting
in circulation any notes, bails or other
papers of any other bank, to circulate as
money, except the legal tender treasury
notes therein contemplated.
That the revenue laws of the United
States should be altered so that instead
of subordinating labor to capital they
may afford Just protection to tabor. and
the Industrial in erects of the whole
country. -
That the legal tender money should be
made legal tender in payment ; of
all debts, public and private, and con;
vertiole at the option of the holder, into
Government bouds, bearing interest ,at
the rate of three per cent. per annum,
with the privilege to hold or reconvert
bonds into money and money into bonds
at hie pleasure.
Teat the National Labor Congress ear
nestly recommend the adoption of such
measures among all classes of workmen
in all sections of the country as will se
cure the adoption of the eight hour eye
tem, and call upon their respective State
Legislatures to follow the example of
the National Congress In recognizing
eight hours as a legal day's work.
That land monopolies are at variance
with the doctrine that all free men,
when they form a social - compact, are
equal in rights, and if persisted in must
ultimately result in the subversion of
free institutions, as also of the social
political well being of the laboring masa.
That as labor is the foundation and
cause of national pyoaperity, it Is both
the duty and to the interest of the Gov
ernment to foster and protect it. Its im
portance therefore demands the creation
of an executive department of the gov
ernment at Washington, to be denomi
nated a Department of Labor, which
shall aid in protecting it swore all other
interests. ,
That political equality being one of the
cardinal principles of this organization.
we therefore urge the full restoration of
civil and political rights to every Amer
ican- citizen, except such as have been
convicted of felony.
The platform, as read, was unanimous
ly adopted.
The Committee on Obnoxious Laws re
Porojd a preamble and resolution against
the bonspiracy laws of the different
States, especially those of Pennsylvania,
emphatically • demanding their imme
diate and unconditional repeal, which
were adopted.
A resolution making it the duty of
Labor Unions to report quarterly in re.
.gard to hours and character of labor,
