Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1896-07-24

by reafflrm our fealty to the repub-
lican party, especially commencing
its principle of protection to American
Industries and it's staunch adherence
to an honest currency.
It is our conviction that the tinanci-
al depression which has brought wide
spread distress to our people, is the
direct result of tariff legislation which
destroys instead of building up the
Industries of the country. And we
condemn the Unsafe and unvise policy
of the present administration of issu-
ing bonds to pay the expenses of the
government in time of peace instead
of providing sufficient revenue by the
maintenance of the wise revenue laws
provided by the republican party for
that purpose.
We heartily endorse the platform
adopted at st. Louis and the candi-
dates nominated thereon and pledge
them our undivided support.
We denounce as pernicious the free
silver plank adopted at the Chicago
convention as leading to repudiation,
Generalization and financial disaster.
Believing that no fiat of government
can permanently enhance values or
enrich individuals.
In state affairs we favor just and
impartial system :of appraisement on
all property. Railroad companies
and all corporations should be treat
ed the same as farms, merchants and
mechanics in the appraisement of all
real estate and personal property.
