The platform says:
1--WE earnestly, cmphatically, oppose the
frce-trade policy and single gold standard
Of Great Britain. On the contrary, we
demand adequate protection for all home
Industries, North, South, East and West,
80 Us to maintain the American standard
of wages. 70 this end we favor tariff
on foreign goods competing with domestic
goods equal to the differences between for
eign and American wages With the ex-
ception of articles of luxury, goods which,
by reason of climatic or other conditions,
cannot be prOfitably produced In this coun-
try, should lie admitted free. BY adher-
ence to the Republican principle of reci-
prOcity, new and larger markets for our
farm products can and ought to be se-
cured.
I'VE are opposed to the fiat paper money
doctrine OF the I'opulist party, and be-
lie'-e in IL metallic basis for our currency,
consisting of both gold nnd silver; the
Republican party Of North Dakota de-
n,aii'ls the use of both these metals as
standard money. We elso demand that
the miNts he opened to the coinage Of
silver mined in the UIited States, with
such restrictions and under such pro-
visions. to- be tlei.i ,linetl by legislation,
as will maintain tho purity of values Of
the two metals. The purchasing and
debt-raying power of every dollar must
always be kept equal to that of every
otl:er dollar Congress should levy tax
OH importation of silver sufficient to pro-
tect fully the products of our own mines.
Relieving in the dignity of labor and
in the right of workingmen to peacefully
contend for their share of the product Of
their toll, We favor u code of arbitration
or Cancellation, state and national, by
which both cmplOye and employer shall
he bound, and we recommend that con.
gress SO amend the interstate commerce
/ law as to provide for the orderly settle
pent of disputes between capital and
labor by the enactment of the inter
state commerce law a Republican con-
gress established the right of the federal
government to regulate and control rail-
ways engaged In interstate commerce.
Such control should be fully exercised
to tho end that people shall not be COM
PEELED to pay interest on watered stock
and fictitious values, but that rates may
be fair and equal for equal service.
"Itcalizing now, us heretofore, the evils
of the public saloon, wo favor the enforce
ment of our laws controlling the liquor
traffic.
"Nye commend to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the next legislative assembly
the question of granting the suffrage to
s'ISor the protection of depositors In mo-
tiolul and state banks and prevent the
withdrawal of money from circulation, we
believ that the federal and state gov.
crnment should guarantee such deposi.
orssagainst loss,- teimbursing itself by q
tax on the bonds"
Tho platform favors lower rates 30 that
the North Dakota coal beds may be de.
velOped; it condemns the Democracy fol-
its opposition to reciprocity, for placing
wool on the free list, for its Hawaiian
policy, and for its unpatriOtic interpreta-
ton of the pension laws.
All interests in the party have been
consolidated, and not one word was said
in the convention that was in the least
degree calculated to stir up strife

committee before adjourning There is
