The committee on resolutions re-
ported the following platform of
principles:
L. The republicans of Dickinson
county, in convention assembled, re-
affirm and express their devotion to
those principles which have always
guided the republican party in
promoting the peace, prosperity and
happiness of the American people.
Ill. We affirm that the republican
party stands today where it has always
stood with nothing to regret, nothing
to explain, nothing to apologize for.
III. We commend the pure, patri-
otto, statesmanlike, splendid admins
tTation of President Harrison.
". We do not forget the admoni-
ton of General washington, who said
Cherish the public credit as most
important source of strength and our
security" and to this END we are III
favor of both gold and silver and also
paper money based upon coin, all equal
and at all times interchangeable
equal in fact and law. We want no
seVenty-five cent silver dollars.
V. We commend the silver legisla-
ton of the last congress, which has
added over 100000 to the actual
circulation of the country since the
bill became law.
VI. We believe in America for
Americans; we believe in home rather
than foreign manufactures; we believe /
the consumer should be brought as
near the producer as possible; we favor /
protection for American industry and /
American labor whether engaged in /
agriculture or manufactures.
VII. We favor twenty rather than /
thirteen pounds of sugar for dollar.
VIII. We commend the reciprocal /
trade relations with other countries
by represent administra
ton, whereby there has been and will /
be created an additional market for
many millions of pounds of beef and
many hundred of thousands of barrels Il
of pork and flour"
*. WHEREAS, the stock in trade 1
Of the peoples party speakers and
newspapers is the public defamation of
the good name of Kansas and b.
people, and -'i
WHEREAS, by their incessant
calamity howl" and threats of repud-
iation of honest debts, they have /
severely impaired the credit of the
state and rendered it very difficult and
in many cases impossible for farmers
to procure renewals of their loans; and !
WHEREAS, by such disparagement
of the public and private credit of the
state many farmers will lose their
land, therefore,
Resolved, That we denOunce all such |
defamers OF our state as its most des- !
tructive enemies, and pledge ourselves !
to do everything in our power to coun-
teract the serious results thus brought i
upon us to again restore credit and
in the good intentions of the /
people of our state.
