The Republican Platform.
Resolved, first-That the republicans of
North Dakota in convention assembled, re-
affirm the declaration of the republican ma
tional convention of 1888; we heartily en-
dorse the wise and conservative admins
tratiOn OF President Harrison; we also fully
approve the wise action of the republican
members of both branches OF congress in
fulfilling the pledges of the party in legis-
lating upon the coinage of silver, the reVis.
ion of the tariff, the passage of the federal
election law, the disability pension bill,
and other measures OF national importance.
That the thanks of the nation are due the
republican congress and Speaker Reed for
amending the rules Of the house so that
business OF the country can be lone by the
peoples representatives. We denOunce
the action Of the democratic party in their
claims that members of congress NAV be
absentin a parliamentary sense for the pur-
pose OF defeating a quorum to do business
and at the same time be physically present
to further obstrnct the public business, as
revolutionary, and a wantOn disregard of
the duties for which congressman are elect
ed and paid by the people. We earnestly
insist that it is the duty of congress to
faithfully carry out the declaration of the
can party, that it will provide by a fair
and impartial election law for a free and
honest popular ballot in every congression-
al district of the United States, so far as to
secure to every citizen, rich or poor, white
or black. native or foreign born, the right
to cast n free ballot and to have that bal
lot duly counted. No rule or custom of
either house should be allowed to stand in
the way of prompt and effective legislation
to secure the integrity and purity OF the
election OF members OF congress; to use the
language OF President Harrison. every con-
stitutional power should be exercised to
make this right secure and to punish fraud
upon the ballot. We demand protection
for the wool industry equal to that acceded
to the most favorable manufactures of
wool, so that in time American wool grow
ers will supply all wool of every kind re-
quired for consumption in this country.
Resolved, That we favor such legislation
every particular way, encourage, protect
and promote the interest of agriculture in
all its departments.
Protection of labor and the rights of Ia
borers, such as will grant toll its full and
just rewards is among the first obligations
of the government.
Resolved, That we commend the action
Of the Fifty-frst congress in reducing the
duty on sugar and reducing the duty on
binding Irvine from 81 to IL cents, be-
lieving such reduction to be in the inter
ests of the northwestern farmers.
Resolved, That we endorse the record
made in congress by our fellow citizen,
Hon n r. Hanchr0uUh and rocoIvaI thof
we heartily indorse the action of the re-
publican congress in passing the disability
pension bill and of a republican president
h approved the same and regarded it as
an act of justice too long delayed because
of the opposition to all just pension legls-
iation by a democratic president and a
democratic congress. yet we do not regard
it as the full recognition of the great debt
of obligation which the government and
the people owe to those heroic men by
reason of whose sacrifices and devotion
the union was saved and the government
restored.
Resolved, That the republican party is
opposed to all monOpolies or trusts. and
favor the regulation of the tolls of common
carriers by interstate commerce laws, or if
solely within the state, by the legislation
OF the state in such a manne as to prevent
the watering ofstock with a view of lille
climate exactions of interest thereon or
Opp1CoolOA VI AAl0ClOuS uOtWccu JILL
ferent individuals or localities, and at the
same time secure the employ of carriers a
just return for their labor. Further, the
republican party pledges itself to the en-
deav0r to secure the passage Of such laws
as will guarantee to the people of the state
the free disposition and transportation of
their productions unimpeded by the vexa-
tiOus action of rings and mOnOpOlies and
unjust exercise Of corporate franchises,
and especially to secure the reduction Of
rates on lumber, coal and grain.
Resolved, that the republican party of
North Dakota heartily indorse the reci-
prOcity policy outlined by Mr.. James G.
Blaine, and approves Of the amendment of
the Mckinley bill offered by Senator
Pierce, the gist OF which was that after one
year from the passage of the bill the presi-
dent might in his discretion direct that the
duties on sugar imposed under the exist
ing tariff, be imposed as against any ma
ton or country failing to enter into ade-
quate reciprocal relations with the United
States regarding the agricultural products
OF this country, and that the president be
directed to pursue such negotiations as
may be deemed necessary to secure by
treaty or otherwise the unrestricted entry
into any such country Of the agricultural
produce Of the United States.
Resolved, That we approve OF the wise
and conservative administration Of Gov
ernor John Miller, and especially do we,
