THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM
Minnesota People Can Endorse All
Declarations Hsrsh Expressed.

The representatives Of the Republican
party of the state Of Minnesota in conven-
ton assembled deplore the depressed con-
dition of American industries under Dem
ocratic misrule by theorists and reckless
and dishonest experimenters In statesman.
ship. Discrcdited In foreign diplomacy,
our home industries PROSTATE and our
people idle, there is no aspect Of public Of
fairs which a patriot can contemplate
with satisfaction.
We contrast with our present distracted
condition the decades when, under the
guidance Of the Republican party, we
were blessed with honorable consideration
abroad and peace and plenty at home;
when wages were high and all our people
contented and happy because prosperous.
The Republican party, which took
labor from the auction block and made Il
honorable, and which bases It's great
economic doctrine on tho maintenance Of
an American standard of wages for
American producers, II today, as always,
the party of all workingmen. We pledge
ourselves in the future as In the past to
such care for the interests and rights Of al
classes of our people that law and order
will be maintained; that labor will b a.
sured Of its just reward, unrobbed by
monopolies and trusts; and industry, 90
cure from danger, will be again free tore
sumo its activity benedcient alike 70 en-
ployer and wage Garner.
First-We favor protective tariff under
which, upon imports competing with the
products of American labor, duties are
levied equal to the differences between the
wages and labor at home and abroad,
And as to imports, other than luxqtes
not SO competing, we believe that the
same should be admitted free Of duty, %
far as the requirements Of the government
may permit, But the principles Of reci-
procity should be 70 Incorporated in our
tariff laws as to give new and enlGged
markets to the products Of this country:
Second-The Republican party believes
i'm the use Of both gold and silver ~
money, maintaining the substantial parity
of value of every dollar In circulation with
that Of every other dollar. It believes In
bimetalism and that the restoration 81
silver as ultimate money to the currency
of the world is absolutely necessary fpp
business prosperity, proper rates Of wages
and the welfare of the people
Holding these views, we believe II should
be the policy Of the United States to DO
everything IN us power 70 pFOmObe toe
restoration Of silver to the worlds cur
rency
Third-We demand free ballot and q
fair count, and for every tizen the right,
unmolested, to cast one be Hot In any cleo
ton, and to have that ballot honestly
counted as cast. The mi ssjcn Of the Re-
publican party will not ended until 10

or white, native or foreisi born, shall b

The Democratic party, u lited in nothing
else, was unanimous in q Q repeal Of the
federal election laws, thus openly confess

THE FAMILY GOAT.
An Unnppreeiated asiik Producer Whose
Ia Chnar


The goat as milk producer is hardly
appreciated in this country But in the
old world the family goat is only less
esteemed than the family COW. The milk
is considered better than that from Jer-
sey cows for culinary purposes.
There is, moreover, one great advan-
tage in goat keeping over cows 1t is
this--that COW usually provides a
much larger quantity Of milk than can
be utilized in its natural state In the
household, the consequence being that
either portion must be converted into
butter so many times week, necessitat-
ing labor which Is not always profitable
and frequently unsatisfactory in its re-
suits, or some of the milk has to be sold,
entailing other Inconvenience.
With goat, on the contrary, this
difficulty can never arise A good speci-
men will generally provide small
household with enough milk for general
use during eight months of the year.
Were the plan once started no doubt
many American village jewellers who
cannot afford to keep COW would find
that milk goat would answer the pur-
pose fairly we'll.
Goats will consume leaves and rough
forage that COWS will not touch, and
they are sure to get q good living SO
long as any digestible material is with
in their reach. &c. G. Hills in Massa-
chusetts Plough.
