The republicans of Iowa in state conven-
ton declare:
That government is of, for and 10y the
people, and that the object of all govern
| ment should he to maintain and promote
| the liberty, safety, happiness and welfare
! of all the people.
That in going into another general cleo
| ton it is admissible to call public atteT.
! ton to the fact, as a test of the two great
! political parties that the campaign claims
| of the democratic party in the election Of
/ 1892 have proved false and the claims made
| hy the republican party have proved true.
| Not an allegation made 10y the democratic
| I'hltN IL ~ 'lt "CNIultS law Ht It'l-
| procty, not a claim of the vnunteI good
results of democratic success has come
| true; but IN the WIthh"id'hG OF pensions OF
/ Union soldiers in business paralyzed, in
/ mlils ana manufacture, closed IN suspend
| Ell BANKS IN nankfuPt Ornls, IN inc distress
| OF farmers IN the growing multitude OF
| tramrs' in falling wages OF thousands OF
working people discharged from employ
mcnt in the monetary stringcncics in tho
prevailing hard times an ublir distress,
are the Imminent OF VIVA. t"PuDl'ahs pre-
/ dlctei with heroic warrants as To the known
capacity OF the democratic party To as

mat the eslnblsNmgnJ or the policy OF
! reciprocal traHe' eSpnclllly between Tue
Ihlleh states ana Jhc other countries Oh
| the new world was "A distinctive ana hhne-
! hceht measure OF republican statesman
snip promising great So"h 10 TINS nation,

| SIateslhhhShlp OF James ~ hlhihe INTO the
unir!enGIy hands OF futile muSwumpS ana
hostile demo'ratS'
That when PRESIDENT Cleveland sald in
! ms recent message to congress mat our
| unfortunate nnahclhl pllShC with the eNll
| conditions ne depicted are "princlphiiY
| charSable To congressional legislation
! touching the purchase and coinage OF sll,
| yer hS me general government, ne onltted
the largest producing cause. This is thu
| sinister effect OF the threatened democratic
| attempt TO overthrow protection and
| protective tariff as embodied in that wise
| measure kno"n as the Mckinley law, and
| 50 close American manufactures, ana
! oYerwhelm the industries that give profit
| able employment to American capital and
| American labor.
That for the relief of the people, to get
! stability to business ana security TO debt
! orS and creditors alike, the law should
! provide that the payment of debt snail be
the return OF equivalent purchasing
| power, estimated by land, rent interest
| ana the wages OF labor; so that the credit
or shall receive no less and the debtor,
| mortgage or other, shall have to pay no
| more than the purchasing power That
passed from the creditor to the debtor
when the debt was contracted.
That IT Is OF prime Importance to all the
! American people that a sound currency
shall be maintained of uniform purchasing
! power. That we are in favor of maintain
! ing both gold and SILVER money as unlimit
| ed legal tender for the payment OF debt.
! And in doing this congress shall provide
! that every dollar, whether god, silver or
! paper, shall be kept of equal value.
That we are opposed to state bank money.
| or any re establishment of that system of
/ local shin plaster and wild cat" cug-
rency, which proved 50 disastrous IN the
| past.
That one of the great ends for which the
| republican party exists has been and is to
| maintain the freedom, dignity and welfare
| of labor and those who toll. That we re-
| joice in the high wages that have been
paid to American working people under
| reDubliCan pOIiciaS and we dpplorp aS one
