Hon. A. B. Cummins. chairman of the

follows:
The republican party comes again before
the people of Iowa with every promise per-
formed and every prophecy fulfilled
The history of the past year has again
demonstrated the unfitness and incompe-
tency of the democratic party to admins
ter the affairs of the nation, and has again
vindics ted the eternal truth of republican
principles.
From the universal disaster that has ac-
companied democratic supremacy we
turn with confident hope to the sacred duty
of restoring peace to distracted and dis
ordered country.
We again declare for a system of pro
tective duties so ad justed tn at every Amer
lean resource can be developed by Amer
lean labor, receiving American wages, and
we insist upon tariff that will accomplish
these ends.
We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere men
ace of free trade as conclusive evidence of
the wisdom of the republican policy in the
past upon this subject.
We adhere to the declaration OF the
national republican party in 1872 upon its
monetary policy.
We reaffirm our belief that 1.-The interests
of the country. its farmers and working
men, demand that every dollar. paper or
coin. issued by the government shall be as
good as any other dollar"
We favor the largest possible use of silver
as money, that is consistent with the. per-
manent maintenance of equal values of all
dollars in circulation.
We do not want recommendation, either
of gold or of silver. and we pledge ourselves
to continue to work for bimetallism, to be
brought about by all fit means within the
power of the government.
The welfare OF the laborer and the main
tenance of the dignity of labor have been
the constant care of the republican party
from it's birth. It's whole history is an
effort to secure to the wage worker his just
share of the fruits of TOLL and it now re-
news It's pledge to defend the working man
not only against the assaults of foreign
h,,t aoafpSf tho ATTACKS nf
domestic avarice.
Resolved, That the honest and industIi-
Gus immigrant who comes to our land with
the intent to become in good faith an
American citizen, is always welcome. None
other should be permitted to come. We
favor the amendment and more stringent
enforcement of the immigration laws so as
to exclude criminal, paUper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends to
degrade American labor and incite dis
order.
The republican party, ever mindful of
the patriotic services and sacrifices of the
veteran soldiers of the republic, reaffirms
it's position in favor of liberality to the ma
tons defenders We favor the granting
of pensions to all honorably discharged
union soldiers and sailors whose disabilities
or necessities justly entitle them thereto.

mously without discussion.
