THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Editor Representative: The putrid
thing called a National Republican con-
ventior,' which lately convened at St.
Louis with only enough honest men in it
so that God did no desroy it, as of old He
destroyed Sodom, passed resolutions which
reek with treason to God, humanity and
and construed, would read as follows: J,
Resolved, That the constitution of these
United States of America contains no SOW
ereign power to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and Of foreign coin, and we
therefore are in favor OF entering into
treaties with foreign nations limiting the
amount and kind of money the people
shall have, and the rates of interest they
shall pay, and when paid, and by the SOL
emn obligations of treaties placing our
financial policies beyond legislative control
OF these United States.
Resolved, That we are una.terably op-
posed to all the statesmen and all the
financial legislation of our common country
from the adoption of our constitution up
to and including Abraham Lincolns ad-
min.straion.
Resolved, That we are in favor Of an in
terest-bear.ng national debt, for without ma:
tional debt we cannot have national banks
to corrupt the bal,ot-box and furnish bribet
money for Republican conventions {
Resolved, There g no prayer-hear!ng
and prayer-answering God, Therefore we
may safely pursue our present monetary
system that robs the laborer of employ
mentand starves innocent women and chill
dren to make untaxed millionaires. That
Christ, commonly known and believed
to be the Savior of the world, was
usurper and tyrant, when He drove the
money changers from the temple, HIS
teachings are fraud and failure
Resolved, That the s.gners of the Dec
.arat.on of independence from Great Brit
ain and the trainers of the sisterhood Of
states who adopted our national constitu
ton, were frauds and traitors to our most
excellent friend, the English government,
whose acts we now repudiate and d;savow,
and we now pledge our faithful aleg .ance
to her majesty Queen Victoria, and pledge
the hearty support OF the Republican party
and our present administration to the prin-
ciples herein set forth.
Resolved, That Henry Clay, when he re-
fused, as American minister representing
the United States government, to sign
treaty ced:ng to England all the territory
west of the Mississippi river, he acted most
reasonably to our mother country. That
Andrew Jackson, while commanding the
arms of this most reasonable government
at New Orleans, where he was the cause
of many crippled English soldiers (whose
object was to plumber New Orleans, and
whose battle-cry was beauty and booty')
to kick the we'll ones to death in Their dy-
ing struggles, was a most damnable mon
ster: and John G.. Fremont, when he
raised the United States flag in California,
thereby wrestling the Pacific coast from
England, b,otted the loyalty of the present
Republican party to England; all OF which
acts we declare we are opposed to.
Resolved, That we invite all fools,
knaves, traitors, boodle-takers, bankers,
and the men:al mongrel scavenger editors
of the plutocrat:c press to aid in the cleo
ton of William Mckinley, our English
standard bearer, whom, we have full con-
fidence, # elected, will faithfully carry out
the principles herein set forth.

GOES FOR THE CHICAGO sKAND1
MAVEN.
Editor Representative:
Didn't you in the last Representative
ever.astingly hit the Chicago sot square on
the head?
L will say for the Information of those
of your readers, and others, who may not
know it that he is the fellow who got the
Scandinavian vote for Knute Ne.son for
governor two years ago by sending his
(moralO sheet to nearly every Scandlnav-
IAN home in the state. You can bet dol
lars against doughnuts that Scandinavian
and similar sheets will from now till No
yenlber be sent to every scandinavian
voter in America, preaching Mckinley and
dbuggery-without cent expense TO
the dear people. Let all friends OF reform
be on the lookout and head off all sucn
hellish schemes
I would most earnestly advise every
reader of the Representative who possibly
can afford It to subscribe for that fearless
advocate o. the Peoples cause, The Penny
Pr ess. of Minneapolis. which can be had
everv day SIX months, making over 100
copies. for ST. and see to that II possible,
every voter in the state is given chance
to read both that and the Representative
Scandinav:ans are neither fools nor cow
ards # they rightly understand the real
situation. y. .. Anuoi SUI.
