A RINGING PLATFORM.
Unanimously Adopted by the c n
gressionsl Convention at
Edna, Ang. IA.

Resolved, That we, the repub-
!icans Of the FIRST Congressional
District, in convention assembled
by their representatives hereby
heartily endorse and ratify the
action of the national convention
held at Chicago. in June last, and
affirm our allegiance to the
principles and policy there enun-
ciated, and we pledge the
nominees, that statesman and
gallant soldier Benjamin Harrison,
and the patriotic statesman and
philanthropic citizen Levi, 2.
Morton, our hearty, emphatic
and unanimous support.
We believe that labor is the firm
foundation of society and the state.
That it should be free, intelligent
and well paid, then will it be
honorable, prosperous and
dignified. We favor the passage
and enforcement of laws which
will absolutely prevent the COM
petition of imported, servile, con-
vict or contract labor, guarantee to
workingmen the most favorable
condition for their service, especi-
ally proper safeguards for life and
health in mines and factories and
on railways and in al hazardous
occupations, to secure such pro-
vision should be made whereby
only skilled and competent men
can be placed in position where
they may be in control of the lives
and safety of others, and to pro-
vide for that submission to Just
and impartial arbitration that can
be made effective, all controversies
between workingmen and their
employers, and thus promote the
prosperity and welfare of both.
We most emphatically commend
and endorse the principle Of vigor-
Gus encouragement to the develop
ment of the wonderful resources
Of our country SO lavishly given
and distributed by a bountiful
providence, and the we'll enuncia-
ted and throughly understood
republican principle Of protection
to American industries.
We heartily indorse and adopt
the patriotic motto Of our party:
american wages for American
workmen; American markets for
the American people and protect
ion for American homes"
The gratitude of a patriotic and
generous people can not be
measured by money, but it
demands that all deserving and
dependent soldiers should receive
Just and honorable pensions. P1cof
of an honorable discharge and of
existing disability ought and must
be deemed sufficient evidence to
warrant the award of a pension.
We declare in favor of and de
mand a free and fair ballot to
every American citizen and an
honest count of that ballot in every
voting precient of the country
That swift punishment shall be
visited upon those who by fraud or
force interfere with the just and
equal exercise Of this sovereign
right of every citizen.
We submit this. our platform,
to the people Of the First district,
cordially inviting good citizens OF
all parties and creeds to cooperate
with us III etfecting our econom-
ical control of affairs and in bring
ing about a brighter, better and
more prosperous era in our dis
trict, state and nation.

these celebrated shoes in five
thousand papers, covering every
section of the country from Maine
to Oregon.
In n recent issue of the Sar-
coke Fipdicator, the management
of the Frisco road receives a
severe, though well merited casti-
cation, for its refuual to give
the usual Harvest Excursion
rate to Missouri that now prevails
on all western railroads leading to
Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota.
Such thorough shaking-up by
the press of the state as was given
the Frisco management by the
Vindicator, would quickly bring it
to terms, however strong may be
the support given it by that politi-
cal trickster, John O'Day.
Mr.. Hatch stated in his
speech Tuesday that this country
needs more money. Does Mr..
Hatch know that the United
States, according to the director
of the mint, have mined, since the
discovery of gold in California
sl,600,000,000. Is he apprsed of
the fact that we have now OF hand
but S600,000, 900 Of that money. In
50 years we have sent abroad a
billion dollars exclusive of the sill
yer which would probably reach
$500, 100000 more. Now had the
protective tariff been high enough
TO have kept every dollar of this
money at home. what would be the
result? Money would be 50 plenti-
full that farmers could borroH it
at the rate Of 2 to 3 per cent, and
farm hands would be getting $50
to $50 month. If the people of
the First district believe with NJ.
Hatch that this country needs
more money, they should keep
Mr.. Hatch at homo and send a
man in his place who wi II vote and
work for American interests.
When speaking of free
wool last Tuesday afternoon, Capt.
Hatch calculated for the benefit
of the audience, what his loss
would be if the Mills bill became
a law. Capt. Hatch has one of
the largest hocks In his county, so
he stated, n hundred head. These
sheep clip 6 pounds each on an
average. a loss of 10 cents a
pound would be 60 cents q head or
$50 on the hundred head. He
secuted the idea that any sheep
raiser would glumble at the loss
of sum SO insignificant as $50.
Now it may be that $50 is an IN
significant sum for Mr.. Hatch to
lose; but he must remember that
not all the sheep raisers of the
country have had an opportu-
nifty to purchase land in the Sny
bottom at a dollar per acre, and
then work the governmet for ap-
preparations to protect it from the
Mississippi till it became worth a
hundred dollars per acre. Had
they had all opportunity like this
they probably would not care
whether wool is protected or not.
But as it is there are few farmers
who care to throw away $50 on
every hundred head of sheep they
possess, simply to please the
Democratic party.

The following tribute was
paid to Cleveland by Mr.. Hatch
Tuesday afternoon: "Four years

that cold blooded England has no
admiration for any one who does
not work directly for her inter-
ests.

Mr.. Hatch last Tuesday, though
read from manuscript, was

The newspaper entitled to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
THE CHICAGO DAILY News. (Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth of
the Nezv YORK World entities it to first place)
Tile GrabAlc to-day devotes page to sketches of
scenes in and about its establishment The his
tory Of this paper is probably without parallel
in the annals of American journalism It was
founded December Goth, 1875, and was the first
low-priced daily successfully established in the
West At the end of its first year it had achieved
circulation of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. It now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement of circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average Of I2s,I78
copies, unquestionaby the largest daily circulation
on the American continent (The sworn state
Iment for 1887 shows daily average of Io5,37o)
In politics THE DAILY News is always inde-
pendent, never neutral. While its editorial ex-
preston is sometimes vigorous to the degree Of
severity there is always in its utterances of opinion
SO manifest purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests that it rarely loses the con-
hdence OF the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance of its own view con-
cerning the matter in hand
As newspaper proper, The DAILY News
has earned reputation for enterprising news
gathering second to none in the United States
1t is the only cheap paper in the West that is a
member of the Associated Press. 1t gives IFS
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. (Now it does it for one cent day.

Idded by the present writer.
much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lahon to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet style of Journalism. Of all the people % in
America the average Chicagoan is most in hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff The DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise FORM The result of such
condition of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
- In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal Jour-
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
onably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the "cheap paper should be cheap
only IN price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heatbful
as its best and highest priced cotemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.
The difference of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more so when the price is one
cent?, and the higher-priced "blanket-sheet." the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to gleam what is of real news interest from mass
of verbiage and worthless application.
1T is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of to-
day that The DAILY News is the best and most
popular general family newspaper, published in
Chicago or the West
