We commend the action of the Iowa dele
cation IN Congress in support of protection
OF the Dingley tariff Of the maintenance of
the gold standard and on its faithful support
OF the administration OF President Mckinley
in his policy in peace and We rejoice
in the prospective election OF David B. Hen
derson to be Speaker Of the House Of Represen-
tatives and indorse him as wholly worthy of
that honor. We readopt the following declara-
tioa from the Iowa Republican platform Of
1885:
the commercial world Is gold. me perma-
nence OF this standard must be assured by
Congressional legislation. giving TO IL the va
lidity and vitality OF public law. All other
money must be kept at a parity with gold.'
And We urgently can upon our senators anu anu
Representatives IN Congress 10 lend their pest
endeavors to enact these propositions into law.
We denounce the Chicago platform and its
declaration in favor OF free trade and Tree
silver coinage at the ratio OF l6 to l and its
attacks upon the courts threatening the
American people with a departure from the
policy of good government that would prove
fraught with evil TO the American people. The
enormities of that platform call for the re
sistance OF all good citizens AS Repubii,
cans We make recognition of the loyalty and
exalted patriotism of the sound money Demo
Gratis and men Of all parties who put aside
craftsmanship in order to maintain the good
faith of the nation and in resistance to the
Chicago platform and its candidate. To main
tain the welfare of the people is the object
and aim of all governments.
Industry and commerce should be left free
to pursue their methods according TO the nat
uraI laws of the world, but when the business
aggregatiCns known as trusts prove hurtful TO
the people they must be restricted by laws
and il need be abolished.
Confidence in the high purpose of the
President, the skill of the officers and the
heroism of the men in the army and navy
are expressed, and moral and material
support promised them so long as there
is resistance to the flag anywhere.
