PLATFORM.
The Republicans of Minnesota
through their delegates in convention
assembled, do affirm and declare as fol
lows:
We indorse and approve the platform
of the Republican national convention
adopted at Minneapolis June 10. 1892.
We indorse the wise, pure, and in
tensely American administration Of
President Harrison.
Recognizing that in some states force
and fraud are used to defeat the ex
preston of the people, the Republicans
of Minnesota are in favor of all wise
means to secure to every citizen a free
ballot and TAR count.
Trusts and combin ations to contro
and unduly enhance the price of com
modities are great evil, the outgrowth
of human cupidity, and exists in al
civilized communities, regardless of al
tariff laws. We are opposed to the
same and are in favor of all proper leg.
islation to eradicate and repress the
evil. In this connection we refer with
pride to the establishment and main
tenance at the state prison at Saltwater
of the manufacture of binding Irvine,
which has been the means of protecting
and defending our farmers against one
of the great trusts and monopolies.
We believe in protecting the laborin9
man by all necessary and judicious leg
enactment of suitable laws to protect
the health, life and limb of all employees
of transportation, mining and manufac
turing companies while engaged in the
service of such companies: (2) the
establishment in some form of board OF
tribunals of Cancellation and arbitration
for the peaceful settlement of all dis
putes and disagreements between CAPT
tai and labor touching wages, hours Of
labor and such questions pertaining tc
the safety and physical and moral we'll
being of the laborer; 81 the exclusion
from our shores by suitable laws anG
regulations Of all paupers, criminals
contract labor and other dangerou:
classes; and (4) the preservation of the
public domain for actual and bona fde
settlers under the homestead law
Whenever the civil power, thro ug1
its proper officers, is unable to preserve
the peace and to properly protect life
and property, and a resort to force be
comes necessary, we believe that such
forces, whether constabulary OF mill
tary, should be resorted to and use6
only by the state. We regard the EN-
ployment of armed forces by other thar
the proper authorities of the state as
un- American and tending to promote
lawlessness and breach of the peace.
The farmers of this state, who consti
tute the chief element of our product
i've, notwithstanding population, are
entitled to the cheapest and best facili
ties for storing. shipping and marketing
their products, and to this end we favor
such laws as will give them cheap, safe
and easily obtainab1e elevator anG
warehouse facilities, and will furnish
them nro1nptlv and without diScrimina
