Republican Platform.

/. The republican party of the state of South
Dakota, in convention assembled, declares anew
lie allegiance to those great principles for which
republicanism has stood ever since Its formal
orgaDization, and which have been from time to
time declared in its platforme.
2. In the Interest Of the country at large and
particularly In the interest OF the people OF this
great agricultural northwest, 10 ahlrms Its CON-
4 vietion that this nation owes to Its w citizens
and their industries all reasonable protection
believes that this can be best ana most certainly
afforded by the friends Of protection, rather than
By those who declare, as did the last democratic
tutionaI and fraudulent, and which declaration
hrs emitten this whole country with o blight
that has withered It's manufacturing Industries,
shriyeled It's commerce, and dried up the foun.
8. The policy OF q democratic congress, which
eviee upon this country the tribute of millions
In behalf OF the sugar trust, and robs this
country'e wool growers Of millions in behalf of
Australian flock owners, has been ftly Character
Iced by o democratic president rs perddy and dis
honor, and we declare our preference for that
reciprocity policy OF the republican party, which
got something for the country 1t large in ex.
change for whatever advantage was accorded
foreign nations and their commercial interests.
L. RepnbIicanism had its birth as a movement
o emancipate America from the curse OF slave
abor, and it's profound concern ever since has
been and ID now The promotion OF whatever
would guarantee to labor lite due share In the
product.t TO which 1t has contributed, as well az 70
guarantee to capital such inducements as would
Inspire lie Investors with confidence. We de
plofe the occurrence Of any conflicts between
labor and capital. We denounce the agitation of
demagogues designed 20 foment and intensity
shese conflicts, and most earnestly disappr0ye
ice use Of private armed forces In any attempt to
title them. We believe that en- appeal to the
" and It's officers lie amply sufficient to protect
.operty and preserve peace and . references 70
ally created or amicably chosen boards of
.bifration the best method OF adjusting all dis
.reements out OF which these conflicts have
risen,
| S. Feeling that American citizenship should
be protected against the importation OF pauper
and criminal classes from abroad, we favor such
modification OF our immigration laws as will
more fully effect such protection
8. We favor the use Of both silver and gold m
money, at q ratio Of 10 TO 1, ,confning the coinage
of the actual expense OF coinage and we demand
! that silver as well a. gold shall be a legal tender
private; and we pledge the congressional HON.
inees of this convention TO support the prlnci-
| pies herein contained.
{. The abnormal 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
OF cnrporation-and We therefore declare onr.
saves In favor Of such legislation as will thwart
4 the dangerous power Of truets and combines, and
prevent go far as possible the aegressions OF
these tremendous accumulations OF capital.
| 81. We consider 1t the duty Vt every patriotic
citizen 20 foster, patronize and encourage the
1.-The hcme interests Of our young s~tate-agri
| culture, mining manufacturing and commercial
| and tt lis the duty OF the state government To
Il throw around them such laws az will insure fair
and reasonable protection. The transportation
companies and these interests are so interlocked
thai we demand OF our legislature that the rail
way commissioner shall he digniaed with
sufficient 4 uth1rty to properly pretect such inter
ests against unjust determinations by such trans
portation companies.
Q. An overwhelming majority Of the old
soldiers Of the Union know upon which party tt
depend for due recognition OF their patriotic sac
RIDGE and valOrous service In crushing rebellion
and thesrepublicans OF South Dakota only need
assure them OF the same Justice and iberality Ii
their behalf that has been declared heretofore
and which has been 80 indusfrlously promotes
by South Dakota's representatives OF that part,
In congress.
10. We congratulate south Dakota upon tn
admirable manner In which the present admins
tration has conducted the affairs OF the state
maintaining the public credit at all times, an'
conducting the affairs OF the commonwealth o
the expense Der capita amounting 70 only abou
one. half that Of states surrounded by condition
similar TO orrP.
III. Feeling assured that the principles of th,
1 republican party afford the best possible basis o
government, we cordially invite all good citizen
10 rally TO the support thereof, guaranteeing d
them that 1t IL our purpose to promote every IN
II tereet which IL calculated to secure the creates
good 70 the greatest number, and also TO oppos
whatever may be determentas TO the best inter
ests of the people OF this state and nation ~
whole.
