PROG RESS ~ IOWA.

A year ago the Republicans of Iowa held
convention and constructed platform, which
began with the following spacious resolution :

safe sound and popular Of equ and uniform
worth in every portion of oW Commonwealth, hut has
likewise greatly improved the credit Of the country at
home and abroad point with pride to s record aud
accom- Ilishncnts iii this regard, and. while re-
affirming the policy announced by the party in
the National Conventions OF 1s6s and 1872, and
trumphantly indorsed by the people at the
polls-a policy which. while contributing TO the public
credit has also enhanced the individual and collective

on the currency question in the following pithy
declaration
Resolred That gold and silver the only reliable
legal tender ana currency convertible into coin should

We put these resolutions of the Iowa Re-
mblicans on record as a cheering sign of
progress. We believe that the great majority
of the American people in all parts of the
Union have not only honest instincts but clear
common sense. We believe that imitation will
within three years be voted down in such II
