THE PLATFORM.
We congratulate the people OF Iowa on the
election of Governor Boies and heartily ap.
prove the wisdom, justice and courage with
which he has administered his high office, and
we commend the action of the Twenty third
general assembly for their faithful efforts TO
redeem their pledges for the enactment into
law of the Australian ballot bill, the pharmacy
bill and other measures demanded by the pub
lie welfare.
We denounce the Republicans in congress
for their submission to the support OF Speaker
Reed In his arbitrary suppression OF free
speech and absolute control OF the course OF
legislation.
I'VE declare our continued adherence TO the
principle Of railroad control as expressed in
the laws of the state and general government
and we favor such changes as experience may
show to be necessary to maintain q inst and
equitable relation between carriers and the
shippers.
gratitude that the Nation owes the soldiers and
sailors Of the union and we declare in favor Of
lust, liberal aud equitable pension laws for all
invalid and dependent soldiers aud sailors.
We reatfirm the policy respecting the con-
troll OF the traffic in intoxicating liquors set
forth In the Democratic platform OF 1889 and
approved by the people at the election OF that
year, and we are in favor of such legislation,
state and national, as may be necessary to
carry that policy into effect.
We are In favor OF tariff for revenue only
a tariff reduced to the lowest rate consistent
with the needs OF an economical administra-
ton of the government. Taxation to any
greater extent than this, or for any other pur-
pose, is unnecessary and unjust. Liquor, to-
bacco and all Iuxuries should be made to bear
as far as possible the burdens OF taxation, and
the necessaries OF life should so far as possible
he relieved. We oppose the Mckinley bill as
an abuse of the taxing power and in favor OF
the wealthy corporations, pools and trusts, by
which our manufacturing interests are so
largely controlled. Itespecially discriminates
against the agricultural interests Of the coun-
try by compelling the farmer to buy what he
needs and to sell what he produces In a monop-
olzed market. We are In favor OF commercial
reciprocity, not alone with the Spanish states
of South America, but as well with all other
countries whose markets are opened to our
products.
We demand the free coinage of silver and
tn at II be made full legal tender for all de BITS
public and private, and denounce as unjust
and dishonest the provisions OF the law re-
Gently enacted allowing parties to stipulate
against the payment In silver and silver GER
tificates, thus setting up one standard of
value for the creditor and another for the
debtor, one for the poor man and another for
the rich man.
The election bill passed by the lower house
of congress is a menace TO the freedom and
purity OF our elections II places the treasury
Of the United States at the disposal OF the
party In power; II enables the managers OF
that party to employ as large force as II
deems necessary TO carry on the work OF the
campaign and to do this under pretense OF
supervising elections; II dcstroys'all respnosi.
bi1ity of the government to the people by vest
ing its enormous powers In Office holders by
appointment for life. We believe that tho
people OF the various localities can be safely
trusted TO conduct their own elections, and
that the power Of congress to determine the
qualification, election and return of its mem
bers is sufficient for protection against local
abuses.
