will secure to the old soldier his just dues
from government he has faithfully served
and enriched by his sacrifice.

lection of American industry when it does
not foster trusts or trade cOnSpiracieS and

products that is given to the products of the
labor of other classes.
Third-That we reaffirm the principles and
policy OF state railway regulation. We favor
maintaining equality among all Localities
and individuals, and we oppose the granting
of favors to one class of citizens denied to
others, and should experience demonstrate
the necessity, we favor such changes in the
law as should be made in the interests of
right and justice to all. We urge upon con-
gresS the absolute prevention of rebates and
determinations on railways that foster mo-
nopolieS and prevent competition.
4. That it is the duty of the state and
federal governments to enact and execute
laws to punish trade conspiracies, trusts and
combines designed 10 limit the production
of the necessaries of life, raise prices and in
terfere with the natural course of trade, that
divert the same from the cities and towns Of
Iowa to commercial centers outside of our
borders.
5. That we affirm the past utterances Of
the Republican party of Iowa upon Prohibi-
ton, which has become the settled policy of
the state and upon which there should be no
backward step. We stand for the complete
enforcement of the law.
6. That we extend q hearty welcome to
the four new states which have been so long
knocking at the door of the Union. and we
congratulate them on Republican success,
whereby their admission into the sisterhood
was so happily achieved.
z. We deplore the loss of life on our rail
ways and the dangers attending SO many of
our citizens in railway employment, and we
urge upon the legislature to take such prac-
tical steps as will secure all possible protec-
ton to this class of people.
8. That we favor the establishment of
courts of corporations and organized labor.
8. That we profoundly sympathize with
the bona fde settlers of the Des Moines river
