of this country upon the evidences of
returning prosperity, and rejoice in
each instance of labor re-employed,
wages restored and industry re-estab
lished upon prosperous basis. In the
record of the building of our industries
under Republican policy, the paralysis
under Democratic power, and their re-
vival with the Reputation of the DEM
ocratic party and the dissolution of
the Democratic house of representa-
tives, succeeded by one elected upon
the platform of the Republican party,
vindication of the policy of protection
is complete.
1.-The Democratic party is convicted Of
obtaining power in '92 under false pre-
lenses. It it's platform it declared the
principle of protection to be unconssti-
tutional, and in its campaign it de-
nounced the policy of robbery. But
with complete power in its hands its
lawmakers have utterly failed to carry
out the policy to which they were
pledged. 1t is a farcical pretense for
the Democratic party to claim credit
now for a measure from which nine
months ago its president withheld his
approval and denounced as a humil1at-
ing abandonment of their cardinal
principles. The senate bill substituted
for the Wilson bill is not measure
which the Republican party would
father; it reduces the revenue upon
luXuries a method of levy more effect
i've than any income tax; it restores
taxation to sugar, a necessity in every
home; it reduces the wage rate in
many industries in which labor is the
chief element of cost, but it maintains
in many of its parts the principle
which the Democratic party declares
to be unconstitutional. To claim credit
under it is to claim credit for aban-
doning its own policy and adopting the
principle which it had denounced. 1t
deplores the revocation of reciprocity,
denounces tariff for revenue only and
declares for American wages"
FREE COINAGE OF BOTH.
On currency the platform SAYS:
1--WE affirm the declaration of the Re-
publican national platform Of 1892
adopted at Minneapolis that the Amer
lean people, from tradition and inter-
est, favor bimetallism, and the Re
publican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard
money, with such restriction and I'M
der such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the mains
tenance of the parity of the value of
the two metals. that the purchasing
and the debt-paying power of the dol
lar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal. The in
terests Of the workingmen demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by
the government, shall be. as good as
any other We urge that the United
States exert its influence to establish
with the important commercial ma
lions of the world such an interna-
tional agreement as will enable this
country to reopen its minis to the free
and unlimited coinage of both metals,
without loss of one or the other from
the volume of our money"
The platform favors the restriction
of immigration and pensions for all
honorably discharged Union soldiers,
and closes with the following indorse-
ment of Senator Allison: 1--WE con-
graduate the people upon the fact the
state of Iowa will be represented in the
Fifty-fourth congress by two senators
and eleven representatives who are
Jealous and fearless advocates of Re-
publican principles, and whose services
in the party we heartily commend.
With especial pride do we remember
the distinguished services Of our senior
senator, whose long and honorable rec
ord as a servant of the state entities
him to expressions of our full conf
dence and our enduring affection. We
hail with satisfaction the universal de-
sire of the Republicans of the state to
continue him in his present field of
usefulness until called to the larger
service of the nation

state central committee tonight H. G.
Mcmillan, of Rock Rapids, was elected
