SILVER REPUBLICAN,.

The free silver republican party oil
Iowa, in convention assembled, hereby
declare these are our principles:
We are first and unalterably in favor
Of the free and unlimited coinage OF
gold at the present legal ratio Of 16 to
and heartily endorse the declaration OF
the republican party of Iowa in 1871
that "the silver dollar, having been the
legal unit of value from the foundation
of the federal government until 1873, the
law by which its coinage was suspended
should be repealed at the earliest pos
sible day, and silver made with gold a
legal tender for the payment VI all
debts. both public End private"
That the ep;rhet cheap money" rs
applied to the old standard silver dollar
Of the United States, is both disloyai
and dishonest. 1t had it's origin and use
with the money shark during the war
OF the rebellion, in denouncing the legal
tender notes, and it is now the favorite
term Of those who want to make money
scarce and high, so they may take ad-
vantage Of it, and pay upon the neces-
stiles and distresses Of the government
and people.
We reaffirm the doctrine Of the reso-
luton passed by republican congress
in 1873 known as the Matthews resOlu-
ton, to the effect that the payment of
all national obligations in the silver
dollar of 4121s grains standard is not in
violation Of the public faith nor in
derogation OF the public creditor.
We further affirm that the national
debts, having been contracted under the
legal ratio OF Is to /, the proposition
made by the republican party to make
the gold standard permanent and to
ignore the constitutional sphere of sill
ver is rank reputation Of the contract,
and we therefore denounce 1t as both
dishonest and un-American.
We demand that the statute in opera
ton in Iowa for more than a generation,
holding every railroad corporation to
strict liability for negligent injury to
employees, through the acts Of agents or
other employees, shall be restored Accord
ing to its original and beneficent spirit.
We point particularly to that part OF
The statute which uneovtvocally de-

sists of very small pair of scissors
fastened to the push plate in the prop

Pneumatic hubs for bicycle wheels
are composed of heavy rubber casing

clares that no contract which restricts
such liability shall be legal or binding"
and we especially demand that this
protection to life and limb, so guaran.
teed, shall be restored. IN order that It
shall not be possible for railroad cor
poratlons to escape liability by the In
direction of an alternative contract.
We denounce the practice OF shifting
upon the shoulders Of employees the bur-
den that properly belongs to the en-
ployer. We denounce the subservlency
Of the present legislature to corporation
demands, as proved by the defeat Of tho
measure to restore this ancient right,
and, as patriotic citizens, we view with
shame and alarm the evidence these
undemocratic influences have been able
to control the state government, there"
by defeating the ends Of manifest JUS
tice.
Reduction In Salaries.
We denounce the republican party for
criminal wastefulness and extrava-
gance In state affairs. We charge 1t with
having increased the tax levy almost
| so per cent, at the same time running
almost q million dollars behind on un-
paid outstanding warrants, while the
ability of the people to pey has de-
creased fully one-half. And We demand
the reduction Of all public salaries to
meet the new condition of things.
We are in favor of equal and just tax
alton, that the burdens Of government
may be borne equitably by all, and we
are opposed to any policy that grants
special privileges to any class.
The unjust Determinations in favor OF
the moneyed aristocracy is an abuse OF
the taxing power that threatens to re-
duce the producers OF wealth to a SER
vile tenancy as degrading as the feud-
alism Of medieval times.
We favor the taxation Of railroad ex-
press, telegraph, telephone and sleep
Ing car companies at rates correspond
ing with the rates at which other prop
erty in other states Is taxed.
We favor the economical administra-
ton of national, state, county and mu-
nicipal affairs and recommend retrench-
ment in expenditures, instead of in
creased taxation to meet the current
deficiencies in income.
We denounce in unmeasured terms
the prevailing corruption in our state
administration recently brought to
light, and we declare that the deplora-
bic and humiliating disclosures call I'M
peratively for sweeping change Of Of
flcials throughout.
Relying upon the ultimate wisdom
and patriotism of the people Of Iowa,
and appealing alike to their intelli-
gence, experience and moral sense, We
invite their cooperation in abridglng
official malfeasance, dethroning corpor-
ate power and bringing again to our
beloved commonwealth the blessings OF
prosperity already too long delayed.

False Promises.

We point to the fact that the claims
of the democratic party in the last
campaign have proven true, and that
the claims made by the republican par
ty have proven false, and not one Of the
pledges made by that party has been
fulfilled. The citizen was urged to vote
for Mckinley and prosperity; confidence
was to be restored; the mills were to
open up; unemployed men would find
work; the farmer would find a profita-
BILE market for his products. All these
and moro were promised to take place
as soon as it should be known that Nc
kinley was elected. Months have
passed since that event, and instead Of
the fulffllment Of these promises, pros
perlty has not made it's appearance; the
mills and shops are closing down; the
army of unemployed is growing larger
and the farmers Of Iowa since his cleo
tion are marketing their products at
less price than ever before.
