The platform Y
1--WE earnestly, emphatically, oppose the
free-trade policy and single gold standard
of Great Britain. On the contrary, We
demand adequate protection for all home
industries, North, South, East and West,
SO as to maintain the American standard
of wages. To this end we favor a tariff
on foreign goods competing with domestic
goods equal to the differences between for
eign and American wages. With the ex-
ception of articles of luxury, goods which,
by reason of climatic or other conditions,
cannot be proftably produced in this coun-
try, should be admitted free. By adher-
ence to the Republican principle of reci-
procity, new and larger markets for our
farm products can and ought to be Sc
cured.
1--WE are opposed to the fiat paper money
doctrine of the Populist party, and be-
lie"e in q metallic basis for our currency,
consisting of both gold and silver; the
Republican party Of North Dakota de-
mandS the use of both these metals as
STANDARD money. We elso demand that
the miNts be opened to the coinage of
sil,e r mined in the United States, with
such restrictions and under such pro-
visions, to be det., mined by legislation,
as will maintain the parity of values of
the two metals. The purchasing and
debt-paying power of every dollar must
always be kept equal to that of every
other dollar Congress should levy q tax
M importation of silver sufficient to pro-
tect fully the products of our W mines.
Believing in the dignity of labor and
in the right of w%orkingmen to peacefully
contend for their share of the product Of
their toll, We favor !. code of arbitration
or Cancellation, state and national, by
which both employee and employer shall
he bound, aud we recommend that con-
gress so amend the interstate commerce
law as to provide for the orderly settle
nent of disputes between capital and
labor BY the enactment of the inter-
| state law a Republican con-
gress established the right Of the federal
government to regulate and control rail
ways engaged in interstate commerce.
Such control should be fully exercised
to the end that people shall not be com
PEELED to pay interest on watered stock
and fictitious values, but that rates may
be fair and equal for equal service.
"Realizing now, as heretofore, the evils
of the public saloon, we favor the enforce
ork nc ~ In x,o oot,frhIlsnn Tho 1inNor
traffic.
I'VE commend to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the next legislative assembly
the question of granting the suffrage to
women.
"For the protection of depositors in ma
tional and state banks ana prevent the
withdrawal of money from circulation, we
believ that the federal and state gov
eminent should guarantee such deposit
tors against loss, reimbursing itself by a
tax ON the bonds"
The platform favors lower rates SO that
the North Dakota coal beds may be de-
veloped; it condemns the Democracy for
its opposition to reciprocity, for placing
wool on the <. list, Cor its Hawaiian
policy, and for its unpatriotic %interpreta-
ton of the pension laws.
