Reuubliean Platform.

i. The Eepuotican party OF the state of South
Dakota, In convention assembled, declares anew
It's allegiance TO those great principles for which
fepnblicAntem has etood ever since its fORmal
organization, AID which have been from time to
time declared in its platforms.
z. In the interest of the country at large and
particularly In the interest of the people OF this
great agricultural northwest, il afirms its CON.
viction that this nation owes to its own citizens
and their industries all reasonable protection
against competition with foreign labor: and IL
believes that this can be best aha most certainly
Afforded BY the friends OF protection, rather than

3. The policy OF q democratic congress, which
evfes upon this country the tribute OF millions
In behalf Of the sugar trust, and robs this
country's wool growers Of millions in behalf OF
Australian flock owners, has been fitly character
honor, and We declare our preference for that
reciprocity policy of the republican party, which
got something fUr the country at large in en-.
change for whatever advantage was accorded
foreign nations and their commercial interests.
4. Republicanism had its birth as a movement
o emancipate America from the curse OF slave
ahor, and its profound concern ever since has
been and 10 now The promotion of whatever
would guarantee to labor its due share In the
product 10 which 1t has contributed, as well as 10
guarantee to capital such Inducements as would

labor ana capital. We denoance the a~gitation of
ie~magognes designed to foment and intensity

be protected against the importation Of panper
and criminal classes from abroad, we favor such
modification of orr immigration laws as will
more fniiy effect such projection
O.. We favor the use OF both silver and gold as
money, at a ratio OF i6 to /, confaing the coinage
OF silver to the american product, at the net cost
of the actual expense Of coinage; and we. demand
for the payment OF all debts, both public and
private; and we pledge the congressional hom-
inees of this convention to support the pr1nci-
pies herein contained
z. The abnormal DEVELOPMENT Of the idea of
corporation Of capital has resulted in modern
times in immense aggregatioEe or money In GER
bin classes Of private enterprise, inc corporations
Of corporatson--and NO therefore declare our
beive5 In favor Of such legislation as will thwaFt
fhe dangerous power of trusts and combines, and
prevent 10 far as possible the aegresslons of
these tremendous accnnulatione OF capital.
y. We consider IL the duty VI every pefriUtic

and IL is the duty OF the state government to
throw around them such laws as will insure fair
and reasonable protection. The transportation
companies and these interests are so interIocked
thai we demand OF orr Legislature that the rail-
way commissioners shall be dignided with
sufficient A uthnrty to properly protect such inter-
ests against unjust discrimination by such trans
portatlon companies.
.. An overwhelming majority of the old
enldiers Of the Union know upon which party 10
depend for due recognition OF their patriotic sac
rifce and ~yal0r0ue service Id crushing rebellion,
and thesrepuhlicans OF South Dakota only need
assure them Of the came justice and liberality III
their behalf that has been declared heretofore,
and which has been 50 industriously promoted
Pr South Dakota's representatives Of that party
In congress.
10. We congratulate South Dakota upon the
admirable manner In which tho present admins.
frafion has conducted the affairs OF the state,
maintaining the public Credit at al times, and
conducting the affairs OF the commonwealth ai
the expense per capita amounting 70 only about
one. half that OF states surrounded BY conditions
similar TO oEre.
III. feeling assured that the principles Of the
republican party afford the best possible basis oil
government, we cordially invite oil good ~cltixene
10 rally 20 the support thereof guaranteeing I'd
them that q 10 orr purpose 70 promote every In
