The patriotism of the party is guar
antee to the nation that every interest
of it's defenders and of their widows and
orphans will be generously cared for.
| Republican protective tariff laws gave
us thirty years of prosperity, and during
| that time furnished our treasury with
funds to pay current expenses and make
constant reductions in the public debt.
They opened every avenue of industry
to our people and gave them remunera-
| tive employment and established the
fact that the best paid labor is the most
| efficient and more able to buy our home
products.
| Such laws are based on the natural
right of self-preseTvation. They are
measures of defense against adverse tar
if laws of other countries and against
the industrial conditions that exist I'M
der other forms of government that
maintain themselves by holding labor in
permanent dependence, and support a
hereditary ruling class out of the profits
made from cheap labor.
We regard gold monometalism OF
which President Cleveland is an oxpo-
nent, and silver monometalism, adyo-
Gated by the populists, as equally ex-
IRENE. Our money, which is the most
concrete form of property, consists of
dollars which have equally debt-paying
and purchasing power and does not
shrink on our hands when received in
payment for wages or products. We
favor laws that will maintain this equal
ity and secure the largest coinage and
use OF both gold and silver as money
without destroying their parity and the
largest possible use of paper currency
that can be maintained without depre-
citation.
That we heartily favor and demand a
liberal and sufficient appropriation by
the general government for the purpose
OF thorough investigation to ascertain
the depth and extent of the underfow
OF water in the westerly portion of this
congressional district, and for the pur-
pose OF making experiments to ascertain
the most practicable methods of raising
and storing such water to be utilized in
irrigation in aid of agriculture, and we
pledge the earnest support of our nomi-
nee to this end.
That we endorse the antitrust laws
enacted by the republican party, both
state and national, and demand the en-
forcement of the same, and favor all ad-
ditional legislation necessary to protect
the people from all trust combinations.
Honest elections are the foundation
OF all governmental authority At every
election precinct the path of the elector
to the ballot box should be free, the
count true and each man have equal in
f1uence in determining the result. We
favor laws that will guarantee those
privileges at every precinc. and secure a
just and equal representation of all the
people in our national congress.
With the success of these principles at
home and foreign policy that will re-
spect the just rights of other countries
and their citizens, and exact the same
treatment for American interests and
American citizens in other lands our in
dustries, our commerce and our infu-
ence can be revived and extended.
To the maintenance of these princi-
pies, we invite the support of every pa
triotic citizen.
The committee on organization rec
commended that the temporary organi-
cation be made permanent, and on mo-
ton their report was unanimously
adopted. Here is where some thought
there would be some fight made-on
permanent organization, but we are glad
there wasn't. 1t shows that everything
is working harmonious and all right.
The committee on rules and order OF
business recommended that the chair
man of each delegation announce the
vote of his county as the secretary called
the roll !; that the roll call should be
made alphabetically; that nominating
speeches should be limited to ten min
utes, and that no person should speak on
the same subject more than twice. Re-
port adopted.
