SALT LAKE CITY, 1884,

BILE and appealed to the Omnipotent to
assist in expediting the infamous DEM
ocratic party from power and lay the
hand of divine pleasure on them and
restrain them forever from exercising
government authority.
The platform is as follows:
The Republican party comes again
before the people of Iowa with every
promise performed and every prophesy
fulfilled. The history of the past year
has again demonstrated the unftnesS
and incompetency of the Democratic
party to administer the affairs Of the
nation and has again indicated the
eternal truth of Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has
accompanied Democratic supremacy,
we turn with confident hope to the sa-
cred duty of restoring peace to a dis
tracted and diSordered country. We
again declare for a system of protec-
tive duties so adjusted that every
American resource can be developed
by American labor receiving American
wages, and we insist upon a tariff that
will accomplish these ends. We have
but to mention the disastrous results
which have followed the mere menace
of free trade as conclusive evidence of
the wisdom of the Republican party in
the past upon this subject. We adhere
to the declaration of the National Re
tary policy. We reaffirm our belief
that the interests of the country, its
farmers and wnrkingmen demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by
the governmentvshal be as good as
any other dollar.
We favor the largest possible use of
silver as money that is consistent with
the permanent maintenance of equal
values of all dollars in circulation. We
do not want recommendation, either of
gold or silver, and we pledge ourselves
to continue to work for bimetallism to
be brought about by all of the means
within the power of the government.
The welfare of the laborer and the
| maintenance of the dignity of labor
have been the constant care of the Re
publican party since its birth It's
whole history is an effort to secure for
the wage worker his just share of the
fruits of his toll, and it now renews its
pledge to defend the workingman, not
only against the assaults of foreign
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 a good.
| faithful and American citizen, is al
ways welcome. None other should be
permitted to come. We favor the
amendment and more stringent en-
| forcement of the immigration laws so
as to exclude criminal, pauper and all
| other undesirable classes, whose pres
ence tends to degrade American labor
and incite disorder.
| The Republican party, ever mindful
Of the patriotic service and sacrifices of
the veteran soldiers of the republic,
reaffirms its position in favor of lib
crafty to the nations defenders We
favor the granting of pensions to all
honorably discharged union soldiers
and sailors whose disabilities or neces-
sites justly entitle them thereto.
