Republican Platform.

1. The republican party OF the state or SOutn
Dakota. in convention assembled, declares anew
its allegiance TO those great principles for which
repnblIcanism has stood ever since It's formal
organization, aad which have been from time &C
time declared In Its platforms.
z. In the interest of the country at large and
particularly In the interest of the people OF this
great agricultural northwest, it affirms it's Gun,
vietion that this nation owes to its own citizens
and their Industries all reasonable protection
against competition with foreign lGbov: and II
believes that this can be best ahd most certainly
Afforded by the friends OF protection, rather than
by those who declare, as did the last democratic
national convention, that protection is unconsti-
~tntional and fraudulent, and which declaration
hGs smitten this whole country with q blight
shriveled It's commerce, and dried mp the foun.
tam o.. Its finances.
3. The policy OF u democratic congress, which
evies upon this country the tribute of millions
in behalf Of the sugar trust, and robs this
country's wool growers OF millions in behalf oil
Australian flock owners, has been fifty character
lied by o democratic president 90 perfdy and dis
honor, and we declare our preference for that
reciprocity policy Of the republican party, which
got something for the country at large in ex.
change for whatever advantage was accorded
4. Republicanism had its birth as . movement
o emancipate America from the curse of slave
abor, and its profound concern ever since has
been and 10 now me promotion OF whatever
product TO which IL has contributed, rs well as TO
guarantee TO capital snch inducements as wonld
inspire it's investors with confidence. We de-
plore the occurrence OF any conflicts between
labor ana capital. We denounce the agitation of
demagogues designed to foment and intensity
csc conflicts. aud most earnestly dieapproye
nse III private armed forces In any attemEt to
= them. We believe that an appeal to the
aud It's officer IL am ply sufficient to protect
ertg aud preserve peace and q reference TO
~ created or Hmicably chosen boards of
ratio, tn best method of adjusting all dis
oaepts out ai which these conflicts have

z. The abn rmal development of the idea of
corporation OF capital has resulted in modern
times IN immense aggregations OF money in GER
tain classes OF private enterprise, interpretations
setves in favor Of such legislation as will thwart
the dangerous power of trusts and combines, and
prevent so far as possible the aggressions of
these tremendous accumulations OF capital.
3. We consider IL the duty Ut every patriotic
citizen 10 foster, patroniEe and encourage the
tie home interests of our young state-agri-
culture, mining manufacturing and commercial
and Ii 10 the duty OF the state government to
throw around them such avs AZ will insure fair
and reasonable protection. The transportation
companies aud these interests are 30 interlOcked
thai we demand OF our Legislature that the rail.
way commissioners shall be digniied with
sufficient authority to properly protect snch inter-
eats against unjust discrimination by such trans
portatIon companies.
Q. An overwhelming majority of the old
soldiers Of the Union know upon which party TO
depend for due recognition OF their patriotic sac
ri6ce and valorouE service In crushing rebellion.
and thesrepnblicans OF South Dakota only need
assure them of the same justice and liberaiity In
their behalf that has been declared heretofore,
and which has been so industrioueiy promoted
BY South Dakotafs representatives Of that party
In congress.
10. we congratulate south Dakota upon the
admirable manner In which the present admins
trntion has conducted che affairs Of the state,
maintaining the public credit ct ell times, and
conducting the affairs OF the commonwealth at
the expense per capita amounting TO only about
ono. half that OF states surrounded by conditions
similar to ocrs.
III. Feeling assured that the principles or the
republican party afford the best possible basis oa
government, we cordially invite all good citiEena
20 rally to the support thereof, guaranteeing "a
them that IL IL our purpose to promote every In
terest which IL calculated 70 secure the Creates
good to the greatest number and also to opposa
whatever may be detesmehtai TO the best tnse or
ests OF the people OF this state and nation ~
