II PLATFORM.
The following resolutions were adopted:
TIL Democracy Of Iowa, in convention assem-
pied, endorse the declaration OF principles made
BY the national Democracy at st. Louis in 1888.
t Gs sin snd 0 0nj Sp poiioy Of h hi ss ssri Sne ssastion,
which robs the many to enrich the few: makes
the producer the slave of the manufacturer
mechanic and the day iaborer: gives no return
through T. ns; any channel to those whom
are the legitimate result Of our pres
emit tariff system, and we denounce the
fallacy OF the Republican state platform OF Iowa
that q high tariff is or can be any protection to
the farmer; We favor the Australian system Of
voting to the end that we may have an honest
ballot, uncontrolled by bribery or employers.
We recognize the doctrine of state and national
control Of railroads and other corporations. and
approve the same as an efficient means Of pro-
tecting the people against unjust discrimina-
ton and oppressive rates. In the
interest OF true temperance, we
demand the passage of a carefully guarded
license tax law which shall provide for the issu-
ance Of licenses in towns. townships and munic-
ipal corporations Of the state bv a vote of the
people of such corporations. and which shall
provide that for each license an annual tax OF
$500 be paid into the county treasury. and such
1urther tax as the town. township or municipal
corporation shall prescribe: the proceeds thereof
to 90 to the use Of such municipalities. While
we demand that all hOnorably discharged Union
soldiers who were injured in the line Of duty, or
who are unable by reason of age or other infirm-
tiles to support their families. shall receive lib
eral pensions and the special care Of the govern
ment. we denounce as an insult to every brave
soldier and us making the pension roll q roll Of
d1shonor, the decision OF the present national
administration that "tbe dishonorabl Die discharge
Of a soldier from the service Of the United States
Is no bar to a pension"
A resolution was passed deploring the
death of 3. s Cox, and extending sympathy
to his family. The convention closed with
speeches, and a resolution empowering the
state central committee to fill any vacancies
that may occur.
