Republican Platform.

70 Il, line republican, party Ot tue EL4LG OF GDubH
Dakota. in convention assembled, declares anew
its allegiance TO those great principles for which
repubiIcanism has etoOd ever since It's fOrmal
organization, aad which have been from time "a
time declared in its platforms. =
q. Iii the interest Of the country at large and
particularly In the interest OF the people OF this
great agricultural northwest, 1t afhFms its Gun
vietlon that this nation owes to its own citizens
and their industries all reasonable protection
against competition with foreign labor: and II
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
national convention, that protection is unconsti.
~tutional and fraudulent, and which declaration
hAs smitten this whole country with o blight
that has wIthered its manufactuFtng Industries,
shriveIed It's commerce, and dried up the foun'
tain of it's finances.
5. The policy OF a democratic congress, which
ewes upOn this country the tribute Of millions
In behalf Of the sugar trust, and robs thif
country's wool growers ef millions In behalf oi
Australian flock owners, has been dtly character

honor, and we declare our preference for that
policy Of the republican party, which
got something for the country at large In OK.
change for whatever advantage was accorded
foreign nations aud their commercial interests.
4. Republicanism had it's birth as o movement
o emancipate America from the curse Of slave
abor, and lite profound concern ever since has
been sad is now ine prCmotlon 81 Wnateysi
product 10 which IL has contributed, as well Ne to
guarantee to capital such Inducements % would
inspire tie investors with confidence. We de
plore the occurrence Of any conflicts between
labor ana capital. We denounce the agitation of
demag3gues designed TO foment and intensity
there conflicts, and most earnestly disapproye
title them. We believe that an appeal to the
" and lite officers Is am ply sufficient to protect
.operty and preserve peace and u reference TO
ally created or amicably chosen boards OF
rbiiratiou the best method of adjusting all dis
eemente out Of which these conflicts nave
risen.
S. Feeling that American citizenship should
be protected against the importation of paupe
and criminal classes from abroad, we favor such
modification OF our immigration laws as will
more fully effect such protection
O.. We favor the use of both silver and gold az
money, at a ratio or 10 to /, combining the coinage
OF oliver TO the american product, AZ the net cost
of the actual expense OF coinage and we demand
that silver as Well as gold shall be n legal tender
for the payment of all debts, both public and
private; and we pledge the congressional hom-
inees OF this contention to support the prlnci-
pies herein contained
Z. The abnormal Development OF the idea OF
corporation of capital has resulted in moderp
times IN immense aggregations OF money in Ger
tain classes OF private enterprise, interpretations
esIyes in favor OF such legislation as will hwart
the dangerous power OF trnsts and combines, and
prevent so far az possible the aggreseions OF
these tremendous accumulations Of capital.
4. We consider 1t the duty Of every p .triutic
citizen 60 f~fster, patronize and encourage the
the home interests of our young state-Agri
culture, mining manufacturing and commercial =
and Ii il the duty OF the state government To
throw around them such laws as will ineure fair
and reasonable protection. The transportation
companies and these interests are so interl0cked
thai we demand of our legislature that the rail.
way commissioners shall be dignihed with
sufficient . uthurty to properly protect such inter
ests against nnjnet DETERMINATIONS by such trans.
EportatIon companies.
9. an overwhelming majority of the old
soldiers OF the Union know np0n which party to
depend for due recognition OF their patriotic sac.
RIDGE and vaIorons service In crushing rebellion,
and the~srepubiicanR of SoHth Dakota only need
assure them or the same Justice and libarality liz
their behalf that has been declared heretofore,
and which has been so fLdnstriousiy promoted
by Souih Dakota's representatives of that party
In congress.
10. we congratulate south Dakota upon the
Admirable manner In which the present admins
tratIOn has conducted the affairs OF the state,
maintaining the pubic e.edit at all times, and
conducting the affairs OF the commonwealth al
the expense per capita amounting 10 only about
one. half that OF states surrounded By conditions
similar to Ourf.
ii. Feeling assured that the principles OF The
republican party afford the best possible basis d
government, we cordially invite all good citizens
to rally TO the support thereof, guaranteeing u
them that II 10 our purpose 10 promote every III
terest which Ii calculated 10 secure the greAtes1
good To the greatest number, aud also to 0pp0es
whatever may be determenta. to the best inter
ests of the peoplaof this state and nation as
Whole.
