1t was nearly O'Clock before the dele

Tered greatly. The committee on resolu-
tons reported, and the platform was
adopted. as follows:
1.-The Republican party comes again before
the people OF Iowa with every promise.
performed and every prophecy fulfilled. The
history of the past year has again demon
strated the uniitness and incompetency of
= ~ nTF1I= hl
affairs of the Nation, and has again vim
Dictated the eternal truth of Republican
principles. FROM the universal disaster
that has accompanied Democratic SUI
premacy we turn with confident hope to
the sacred duty of restoring peace to a dis
tracted and disordered country. We again
so adjusted that every American resource
can be developed by American labor receiv-
ing American wages, and We insist on
tariff that will accomplish these ends We
nave but to mention the disastrous results
which have followed the mere menace of
free trade as conclusive evidence of the
wisdom of the Republican policy i'm the
past on this subject. We adhere to the
declaration of the national Republican par
~ in 1872 on its monetary policy. We re-
affirm our belief that the interests of the
country, its farmers and worlxingmen de-
mand that every dollar, paper or. coin,
issued by the government shall be as
good any other dollar. We favor the
largest possible use of silver as money
that is consistent with the permanent
in circulation. We do not want mono
metallism. either of gold or silver. and We
pledge ourselves TO continue to work for
bimetallism to be brought about by all fit
means within the power of the govern
ment. The welfare of the laborer and the
maintenance of the dignity of labor have
been the constant care of the Republican
party from it's birth. Its whole history is
an effort to secure TO the wage worker his
just share of the fruits of toll: and it now
renewS it's pledge to 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 industri-
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 immigra ton laws so
as to exclude criminal, pauper and all
other undesirable classes whose presence
tends to degrade American labor and incite
disorder.
The Republican party. ever mindful of
the patriotic services and sacrifices of the
veteran soldiers of the Republic, reaffirms
its position of liberality to the Nations de-
tenders. We favor the granting of PEN
sions to all honorably discharged Union
soldiers and sailors whose disabilities or
necessities justly entitle them thereto
