The platform adopted is as follows:
Resolved, That we, the republicans
of Iowa, in convention assembled. re-
affirm our devotion to the principles of
the national republican party, and we
make no other test of fealty to the re-
publican party of Iowa.
We heartily endorse the able, pru-
cent and patriotic administration of
President Harrison, with the special
commentator of the movement for
better and closer relations, both bust
ness and political, among all American
governments and people.
We do specifically declare our ad-
herence to the principle of protection
to American industry applied wisely in
view of the interest of all conditions of
our people, and administered in view
of equal interest of our industries.
We agree that administrations may
be wisely made, but never in behalf of
the strong against the weak-never
against the masses. In this spirit we
hold that all legislation should be had,
whether it concern the raising of eve
III o. disbursement of the same, by
the general government, by the state
or by subdivision of local government,
whether it concern domestic aggression
or be in definition of the limitation
upon foreign aggression.
We are in favor of such expansion
of the currency as will meet the grow
ing demands of the increase in popu-
iation and trade, and offset the con-
traction resulting from continual with
drawal of national bank circulation.
To this end we favor such legislation
as will utilize as money the entire sill
yer product of our mines, and we favor
such laws as will aid in the ultimate
unrestricted use of both precious metals
as money.
The republican party of this state
is in favor of promoting in every fair
and honorable way the industrial in
terests of the people of this state. We
believe that the business interests of
the people are interchangeable and mu-
tual, and that injustice towards one
class must sooner or later work to the
injury of all classes. Particularly do
we believe that the great industry rep
resented by the farm stands at the head
of Iowa industries, and that the faith
full guardianship of that object is a
prime obligation upon those who make
and administer our laws.
We congratulate the people of this
state, retrospective of party rela-
tionship, upon The measure of success
obtained in the contest in this state
in behalf of just and legal control of
railway corporations doing business in
this state, and we appeal to the peo-
pie to see to it that there be no recess
sion in the just policy of the state in
this regard. We believe that the
efforts to nulify the interstate COM
merce law should be resisted, to the
end that national protection and state
protection may alike be equal to all
communities and among all classes.
The republicans of Iowa offer their
sympathy to the producers of the south
who seek now for disenthrallment from
the industrial bondage of the grinding
monopolies OF the states of that Sec
ton. protected and promoted by all the
power of the organized democratic
party of those states. We believe that
in the breaking up ot those systems
under which industrial freedom is i'm
possible, and which rob and prosecute
the poor, lies the one great hope of
freedom of elections and popular gov
eminent, social peace, and general
prosperity IN the southern states.
Recognizing revolt in the south in be-
half of liberty and justice, popular gov
eminent and popular rights, it is a
matter of minor concern in what name
the battles are fought and won. We
welcome the first growth and spread of
power of republican principles.
