Artificial Silk.

The process of producing artificial
silk" invented by DR.. Lehner, was
shown to party of scientists etc, at
Bradford recently. Waste cotton,
wool. jute or other suitable material
is reduced to an emulsion by means OF
mixture of nitric and sulphuric
acids, when it is formed into threads
by forcing it through glass tubes OF
small bore. and is passed over series
of rollers and wound in the ordinary
way on bobbins- Before the artificial
silk is used in manufactures or is
sold, it is denitrated to destroy the
explosive properties, and is also rem
dered uninflammable, which will rem
der it suitable for many purposes, es-
pecially as it is said to resemble real
silk very closely.

REPUBLICANS PLATFORM.

The republican party comes again before
the people of Iowa with every promise per-
formed and every prophecy fulfilled.
The history of the past year has again
demonstrated the unfitness and lncompe-
tency of the democratic party to admins
ter the affairs Of the nation, and has again
vindica ted the eternal truth of republican
principles.
From the universal disaster that has ac-
companied democratic supremacy we
turn with confident hope to the sacred duty
Of restoring peace to distracted and dis
ordered country.
We again declare for SYSTEM of pro
tective duties so adjusted that every Amer
lean resource can be developed by Amer
lean labor, receiving American wages, and
we insist upon a tariff that will accomplish
these ends. tt
We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere men.
ace Of free trade as conclusive evidence OF
the wisdom of the republican policy in the
past upon this subject.
We adhere to the declaration Of the
national republican party in 1892 upon its
monetary policy.
We reafffrm our belief that ''the interests
of the country, Its farmers and working
men, demand that every dollar, paper or
coin, issued by the government, shall be as
good as any other dollar"
We favor the largest possible use OF silver
as money, that is consistent with the per-
manent maintenance of equal values of all
dollars in circulation.
We do not want recommendation, either
Of gold or of silver, and we pledge ourselves
to continue to work for bimetailism, to be
brought about by all fit means within the
power OF the government.
The welfare Of the laborer and the main
tenance Of the dignity of labor have been
the constant care of the republican party
from its BIRTH It's whole history is an
effort to secure to tho wage worker his just
share of the fruits of toll; and it now re-
news It's pledge to defend the working man
not only against the assaults of foreign
competition but against the attacks OF
domestic ayarice.
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 immigration laws So as
to exclude criminal, pauper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends TO
degrade American labor and incite dis
order.
The republican party, ever mindful Of
the patriotic services and sacrifices of the
veteran soldiers Of the republic, reatfirms
it's position in favor of liberality to the ma
tons defenders. We favor the granting
of pensions to all bonorably discharged
union soldiers and sailors whose disabilities
or necessities justly entitle them thereto

Iris a suggestion worthy OF con-
sideration by the navy department
that there should be an occasional va
ration from the system adopted for
the naming of our new ships and that
some vessel yet to be built should be
called the Kearsarge. There is no
vessel Of our navy which had a grander
history, and though it is to be hoped
that none Of our warships in the future
will have to fight as she did, yet the
perpetuation Of the honored name
would help to keep the historic old
fighter in constant remembrance.
