How they Res0luted.

"Sweetcr than sugar" Il the coal
tar acknowledgements substance
scientifically named. "bcnzoic sulpha-
nidc." But this Is not as sweet or %
false as tho resolutions adopted at
tho recent republican convention Of
this county. Below We give them
In paragraphs with our comments:
Tho republicans Of Howard county
In convention assembled declare
anew their faith In the declaration
Of President Lincoln, that "this is q
government Of the people, by the PEG.
pl0. and for the people" and when
they they declare their sentiments by
their ballots upon any great moral
or political question, their verdict
must be respected and obeyed.. To
this end We declare in favor OF the
following principles: ;,
LIST. Protection Of the homes and
the people OF Iowa from the saloons
and tho liquor traffic, by constitution
oil and statutory prohibitory enact.
ments. and tho due enforcement Of
the same.
II the homes OF Iowa should DO
protected by statutory prohibition"
and are not thus protected, only the
republican party Is responsible for
the failure. It has moro than two.
thirds Of the Legislature % . rule
With all the state officers. In 1854 It
bsrtered the principle tor votes, and
concluded the fraud II supporting
Gear Tor governor though he had
been frequently indicted tor selling
whisky.
Cd. Protection Of tho people from
the extortions Of Monopolies and the
control and regulation OF oil corpor-
atlons by law.
In 1874 the people defeated the
republicans In the state sufficiently
to obtain control Of the legislature,
and an act was then passed putting
the corporations under the control
OF Law. In 1878 the republicans Oh.
tanned control Of tho legislature and
repealed the law regulating tho rail.
road corporations. And this con
vention made two OF the men who
aided In that work delegates to thu
Republican state convention.
Sd. Protection OF American labor
and commerce against the cheap la
Dor OF the overcrowded communitie.
OF the old world, by proper tariff
regulations.
How IL this to be done when th,
monopolists that enjoy this protec
ton import pauper labor free from
all parts Of tho worldf
4th. A modification OF the paten
laws to prevent reissues and to pro
tect innocent purchasers Of patton
articles In open market.
