PLATFORM
The Republican party comes again be-
fore the people OF Iowa with every promise
performed and every prophecy fulfilled.
The history OF the past year has again
demonstrated the unfitness aud incompe-
tency of the Democratic party to aimln
lister the affIirs of the nation and has
again vindicated the eternal truth Of
Rrpublcan principles.
From the universal disaster that has
accompanied Democratic supremacy, We
turn with confident hope to the sacred
duty OF restoring peace to distracted
and disOrdered country. We again de
clare for sy>tem of protective duties so
adjusted that every American resource
can be developed By American labor, re-
ceiving American wages, and we insist
upon a tariff that will accomplish these
ends. We nave but to mention the dis
astrous results which have followed the
mere menace of free trade as conclusive
evidence of the wisdom OF the Repnbl Can
policy in the past upon this subject.
We aihere To the declaration OF the ma
tional Republican party in 1891 upon its
monetary policy. We re-affirm our belief
that the Interest of the country, is farm
ers and wOrkingmen, demand that every
dollar, paper or coin. issued by the govern
ment shall be rs good rs any other dollar.
We favor the largest possible use of silver
rs money that is consistent with the per-
maintainance of equal values of
all dollars in circulation. We don't want
mono-metsllsm, either of gold or silver,
and we pledge ourselves 10 continue TO
work for bmetallism to be brought about
by all fit means within the power OF the
govern meut.
The welfare of the laborer and the
of the dignity of labor have
been tie constant care of the Republican
party from its birth. Its whole hist Try is |
an effort To secure TO the wage-worker his !
lust share of the fruits of toll, and it now
renews its pledge 20 defend the working
man, not only against the assaults OF for |
eign competition, but against the attacks /
Of domestic avarice.
Resolved. That the honest and indus !
triouS immigrant who comes to our land /
with the intent to become in good aith AN 1
A merlcan citlZ-n Is always welcome. /
None other should be permitted To come. /
We favor the amendment and more /
stringent enforcement of the immigration 4
avs so as TO exclude criminal, pauper and /
AL other undesirable peoples whose pres
.uce tends 10 degrade American labor and /
ncite disorder.
The Republican party, ever mindful of 4
he patriotic services aud sacrifices OF the !
veteran soldiers OF the republic, resflirms \
Is position in favor of -Iiberality to the
Iation's defenders. We favor the grant
ng of pensions to all honorably discharged /
luion soldiers and sailors whose disabili-
les or necessities justly entitle them
hereto.
The convention then adjourned.
