The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1894-10-10
Republican Platform.

1. The republican party OF the state of South
Its allegiance to those great principles for which
republIcanisw has stood ever since its formal
organization, and which have been from time TO
time declared in its platforms.
2. In the interest OF the country at large and
particularly In the interest OF the people Of this
great agricultural northwest, 1t atdrms ite CON-
Viction that this nation owes to it's own citizens
and their industries all reasonable profession
against competition with foreign labor: and 1t
believes that this can be best aha most certainly
BY those Who declare. as did The last Democratic
national convention, that protection 10 unconeti
tutfonal and fraudulent, and which declaration
HIS smitten this whole country with q blight
that has withered its manufacturing industries,
shrireled iIs commerce, and dried mp the foun
tain of lite finances. q
3. The policy OF q democratic congress, which
eyies upon this country the tribute Of millions
In behalf of the sugar trust, and robs this
c~ountry's wool growers OF miliions in behalf of
Australian Aock owners, has been hsly Character
ICED by h democratic president ~ peridy and die
honor, and we declare our preference for that
reciprocity policy Of the republican party, which
got something for the country OF large in ex-
change for whatever advantage was accorded
foreign nations and their commercial interests.
4. Repubiicanism mad lite birth as q movement
o emancipate America from the curse Of slave
abor, and its profound concern ever since has
been and is now The promotion OF whatever
would guarantee to labor its due share In the
product TO which II has contributed, as well as to
guarantee to capital such inducements as would
inspire its-4BScstors with confidence. We de
plore the occurrence of any conflicts between
labor ana capital. We denounce the agitation Of
demagogues designed to foment aud intensity
there conflicts, aud m0st earnestly disapproye
tee use OF private armed forces In any attempt TO
title them. We believe that an appeal to the
" and It's officers lie amply sufficient TO protect
.operty and preserve peace and n reference To
Tally created or amicably chosen boards of
FILTRATION the best method Of adjusting all dis
lareementso out of which these conflicts have
risen.
S. Feeling that American citizenship should
be protected against the importation Of paper
and criminal classes from abroad, we favor such
modification OF our Immigration laws as will
more fully effect such protection
.~ 9. We favor the use of both silver and gold AZ
money, ataratio OF i6 to /, conhaing the coinage
of silver to The american product, at the net cost
Of the actual expense Of coinage and we demand
for the payment of all debts, both public and
private; and we pledge the congressional noms
lnses Of this onveDtion to support the prInct-
The abnormal deyelopmsaE of the idea OF
corporation OF capital has resulted In modern
times in immense aggregations OF money in Ger
OF corporat.on-and We therefore declare our
sAelyes In favor Of snch legislation ae will thwart
the dangerous power Of trusts and combines, and
prevent go far as possible tue aagEesei0ne OF
these tremendous accommodations OF capital.
d. We consider 1t the duty VI every patriotic
citizen 90 foster, ~patronise and encourage the
culture, Mining manufacturing ana eonaraerciai :
and IL liz the duty of the state government 20
throw around them such lave 40 will tnsnre Tai

companies and these interests are 90 interiocked
thai we demand Of our legislature that the rail
way commissioners shall he dignined viii

este against unjust discrimination by sneh trane
portailOn companies.
