The following is the platform:
The representatives of the Repub-
Iican party of the state of Minnesota in
convention assembled deplore the de-
pressed condition of American indus
tries under Democratic misrule by
theorists aud reckless and dishonest
experimenters in craftsmanship. DIS
credited in foreign diplomacy, our home
industries PROSTATE and our people
idle, there is no aspect of public affairs
which the patriot can contemplate with
satisfaction. 49,
We contrast with our present condi-
ton the decades when under the guild.
ance 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
it honorable, and which bases it's great
economic doctrines on the maintenance
of an American standard of wages for
American producers, is 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 all classes of our people that
law and order will be maintained;
that labor will be assured of it's just
reward, unrobbed by monopolies and
trusts; and industry, secure from dan
ger. shall be again free to resume it's
activity benefcent alike to employer
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 differ
ences between the wages and labor at
home and abroad. And as to imports,
other than Injuries not so competing,
we believe that the same should be adj
mitted free of duty, so far as the re-
uuirements of the government may per-
NIT. But the principles of reciprocity
should be so incorporated in our tariff
laws as to give new and enlarged mar
lxets for the products of this country.
Second-The Republican party be-
lieves in the use of both gold and silver
as money, maintaining the substantial
parity of value Of every dollar in circu-
lation with that of every other dollar.
It believes in bi-metalism and that the
restoration of silver as ultimate money
to the currency of the world is absolute
" necessary for business prosperity,
proper rates of wages and the welfare
of the people.
Holding these views, we believe it
should be the policy of the United
States to do everything in its power to
promote the restoration of silver to the
worlds currency.
Third-We demand free ballot and
a fair count, and for every citizen the
right unmolested, to cast one ballot in
any election, and to have that ballot
honestly counted as cast The mission
of the Republican party will not be
ended until in every state of the Union,
all citizens. black or white, native or
foreign born, shall be equal in the
courts and at the ballot box.
The Democratic party, united in
nothing else, was unanimous in the
vcpeal Of the federal election laws. thus
