The future of these new possessions
is in the keeping of Congress and Con-
gress is the servant of the people.
That they will remain under the
benign SOVEREIGNTY of the United
States, do not permit myself to doubt.
That they will prove rich and valda-
BILE heritage, l feel assured. That
Congress will provide for them gov
eminent which will bring them bless
ings, which will promote their material
interests, as we'll as advance the" peo-
pie in the path of intelligence, I conf
IDENTIFY believe. They will not be gov
erned as vassals, as serfs or slaves
they will be given government Of lib
erty, regulated by law, honestly adj
ministered wit hout oppression taxation
without tryrnny, justice without bride,

Republican State Platform.

We commend the action of the Iowa delega-
ton in congress in its support of protection by
the Dingley tariff, of the maintenance of the
gold standard and it's faithful support of the ad
ministration of President Mckinley in his policy
in peace and war. We rejoice in the prospect
i've election of David b. Henderson to be speak
er OF the house representatives, and endorse
him as wholly worthy of that honor. We re-
adopt the following declaration of the Iowa
platform of 1898: THE monetary standard of
this country and the commercial world is gold
The permanence of this standard must be as
sured by congressional legislation, giving it the
validity and vitality of public law. All other
money must be kept at parity with gold"
And we urgently call uOOn our senators and
representatives in congress to lend their best
endeavors to enact these propositions into law.
We denounce the Chicago platform and its
declaration of free trade and free silver coin
age at the ratio of Is to /, and its attack upon
the courts, us threatening the American people
with departure from the policies of good gov
ernment that would prove fraught with evil to
the American people. The enormity of that
platform call forthe resistance of all good citi-
zens AS republicans we make recognition of
the loyalty and exalted patriotism of sound
put aside partisanship in order to maintain
good faith with the nation, and in resistance to
the Chicago platform and its candidate, to
maintain the welfare of the people the object
of all governments.
Industry and commerce should be left free to
pursue their methods according to the natural
laws of the world, but when business aggrega-
lions known as trusts prove hurtful to the peo-
pie they must be restrained by national laws,
and if need be, abolished.
We believe in the wisdom and high purpose
of the president. We admire the skill and
courage of our officers, and glory in the valor,
constancy and hereditary heroism of our soldier
boys in the army ana navy. Nothing of sup
port or sympathy or moral and material aid and
comfort will we ever withhold from them.
There shall be no division among us until all In
arms agains the flag shall confess its supreme
rights and honor, and shall know that even Ill
the farthest east it is the sign and promise OF
equal law, of justice and liberty throughout
the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.
That for the national defense. for the reinforce
ment of the navy, for the enlargement OF our
foreign markets, and the: employment of Amer
lean wOrkmen in the mines, forests, farms,
mills factories and ship yards, we favor the
enactment of legislation which will regain for
American ships the carrying of our foreign com
merce.

'as few dollars out of the way.

If this country would carefully and
consistently follow one economic sys-
tenn for a long period of years it would
be more satisfactory to the people of
the country, especially if it would fol-
low the right system. This thing of
having protective tariff few years,
then free trade for an administration
and then protection again, jerks the
whole system of prices from one ex-
IRENE to the other so roughly as to do
violence to the business of the country.
If the protection system can be held
for series of years so that prices can
adjust themselves, we will have pros
perity of the enjoyable, substantial
and safe kind.

Extra special in State Register;
George L. Finn, one of our ex-senators
was billed to speak at the X. P. opera
house here last evening, but late in tina
evening at the last moment he tele-
phoned that he was sick" and could
not come, malady that seems to be
attending the Democratic speakers this
year. Maybe it is we'll that he did not
come, for Hon. Smith Mcpherson,
congressman elect, is billed to deliver
an address at Kimballton next Friday
evening, October Is, and we think he
would have made Senator Finn "sick"
anyway. We are toeing the scratch in
this part of the county and expect to
lick the platter clean" this year in
Audubon county-dont intend to let
the Democrats have single, solitary
office this time.

The happy hitter of the Emporia,
(Kas.) Gazette, after quoting the prices
on nearly all stuff the farmer has to
sell, and comparing them with 1896,
assumes the character of Old Gen. Pros
perity, and humorously advises repub-
licans not to go for the democrats too
hard. He advises them to not talk too
much about these improved conditions
and their causes, but to observe the
golden rule and do unto others as we
would have others do unto us, to talk
more about the weather, or the Trans
val war, or the equinoxes, or the coming
winter, or any old thing, and avoid
speaking of subjects that will open NJ
old sores.

Iowa State Democratic Platform For
1899.

We, the democrats of Iowa, in con-
vention assembled, unqualiiiedly and
unreservedly endorse the Chicago
Platform of 1896, in whole and in de-
tail, which
ON THE MONEY QUESTION SAYS:
Recognizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact
that the Federal Constitution names
silver and gold together as the money
metals of the United States, and that
the first coinage law passed by Con-
gress under the Constitution made the
silver dollar the monetary unit and
admitted gold to free coinage at a
ratio based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, de-
monetizing silver without the know
ledge or approval of the American
people, has resulted in the apprecia
tion.of gold and corresponding
fall in the prices of commodities pro-
cured by the people; heavy increase
in the burden of taxation and of all
debts, public and private; the enrich
ment of the money-lending class at
home and abroad, the prostitution of
industry and the mproverishment of
the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mon
ometalism, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an Industrious people in
the paralysis of hard times. Gold
monometalism is British policy, and
its adoption has brought other nations
into financial servitude to London. 1t
is not only un-American, but anti
American, and it can be fastened up
on the United States only by the
sitting of that spirit and love of lib
erty which proclaimed our political in
dependence in 1776, and won it in the
war of the Revolution.
FREE SILVER.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, p ublic and private, and we fav-
or such Legislation as will prevent for
the future the demonstration of any
kind of legal-tender money by private
contract.

FRED WHITE AND THE CATHOLICS
How the Democratic Candidate for
Governor Abused the Church.

TOW the Democratic Candidate for
Governor Abused the Church.
Dubuque Times
In response to letter from promi-
nent citizen with n retentive memory,
Hon. John Morrison, of Hedrick, Iowa,
has written the following:
Hedrick, Iowa, Sept. 80, 1S99-Dear
Sir and Friend-I have yours of the
27thlinstant and would say in answer
that L can easily "recall' the noted
speech of Fred White you mention. /
am somewhat older man than you and
at that time was taking an active part
in county politics. 1t was on July 4,
either in IA or rs, end Fred's mind
was in somewhat of catholic state. He
had not entirely shaken off republican
ism or fully embraced greenbackism.
Some of the republicans were talking
of nominating him for the house in the
general assembly and to help him had
put him on the Fourth of July program
at Sigourney to respond to the senti-
ment of 'Our Public Schools" 1 was
present on the occasion. Rev. Father
Nugent, pastor of the Catholic church
at Sigourney then, was also on the pro-
gram and requested the privilege of
making his address first as he had an
appointment later in the day. Now,
whether White had deliberately stud
led out his address, or whether the APP
pearance of Father Nugent, Catholic
suggested it to his mind, don't know.
The chairman, Uncle Billy Jackson,
called Fred to the front, and for fifteen
or twenty minutes Fred poured forth
one of the most bigoted, brutal and in
tolerant attacks l ever listened to.
Father Nugent, who had started to
leave the court house yard, heard him,
paused and returned closer, and was
astounded and indignant, as were all
listeners of all parties and religions. A
summary of his statements would be
like this.
"The free school system was the
foundation of the republic. The only
danger to the public schools was from
che. Catholics. They were beholden to
"foreign hierarchy" Their head, the
pope, was foreign potentate. He
gave his orders to the bishops and
priests in the United States for their
political action. The great mass of the
laymen were ignonan5 aud implicitly
obeyed the orders of the priests; that
it was the Catholic church's interest to
keep the masses in ignorance; that they
had allied themselves on many occas.
ions with political parties in the United
States to tear down the public schools
that, failing in this, they then attempt,
ed to divide the schools and and asked
their pro rata share to use in the paro,
choial schools; that their system of re,
ligion was opposed to Republican
form of government and therefore they
were a dangerous element in the com,
murity."
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-10-19

Some say that it is luck that has
produced the good times we, now have;
others say these times have come as
the natural results of cause and effect.
Which ever theory is correct people
should vote to sustain the party now in
power, the republican party, for if it
is so fortunate as to have luck ON it's
side it is the party to be in power,
while if it's measures have produced
the.results of good times, which we
believe is true, it should be supported
for that reason.

The fall of 1890 we heard VIM. J..
Bryan make an extended political
speech in which his whole burden of
complaint was against the protective
tariff. A few years later, in 1896, his
attention was directed against the gold
dollar as being responsible for all the
calamities we are heir to, while this
year trusts are the cause of all our
woes. Next year it will perhaps be
something else. He has to change his
program with regularity or it would
fail to hold the crowd.

Where, oh, where has the young man gone
Who graduation clothes put on,
Sometime about the last Of MAY,

And where Is the sweet girl graduate

And started out with a giggling frOwn,
To turn the old world upside down?
And where Is the last years candidate
Who had things fixed for this years slate?
Who carried around, il you'd believe,
A couple OF counties up his sleeve.
And where is the scribe with Wanting will,
Who started II long-felt wan to I'LL,
And courted scheckels and fair renown
With mi Mon sheet in Il plea town?

All this and more poured forth with
Freds well-know impulsiveness, aston
ished and astounded the crowd, 1t
was unexpected on such an occasion
and Uncle Billy Jackson only regretted
that he did not stop him and rule him
'out of order" One result followed.
The republicans dropped him like a
shot brick" and his voice was silent for
a few years. Then he broke out for
Gen. Weaver and the greenback craze.

The foregoing wa received at this of

comes from highly responsible source
Mr.. Morrison is one of the best known
public men in the state. He was II
member of the Iowa house of repre-
sentatives of which Senator Gear was
speaker, and was also member of the
Twentytifth and Twenty sixth general
assemblies. He resides in Fred Whites
county, is entirely familiar with his rec
ord in public life, and is himself II
man of unimpeachable veracity. He
now comes and testifes that the man
who is today departing from the legiti-
mate lines of his campaign to make
special appeal to the German Catholics
of Iowa is himself on record as having
condemned them in bittarest terms
and as having charged them with the
purpose of which he now accuses Pres
ident Mckinley and the party to which
he himself belonged, the purpose of
uprooting the free institutions of the
country. II Mr.. Morrison has correct.
ly reported Mr.. White, that gentleman
owes his presence in the Democratic
party today to the fact that in 1874 or
1875 he made an attack upon the Cath
olics of this country which the Repub-
licans of Keokuk county could not APP
prove and which destroyed his pros
poets of obtaining public honors at
their hands. If Mr.. White in 1874 or
1875 denounced the very element on
whose support he is now making spe-
cial appeal that element is entitled to
know it.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-10-19

One of the many good points Con
gresham Mcpherson makes in his
speeches this fall is when he shows
Bryan's inconsistency and 3emagog-
ism in urging the adoption of the
treaty with Spain, and then, so soon
after its adoption, opposing our coun-
try's carrying out the measures forced
upon us by that treaty. If Bryan
were an honest patriot he would favor
our carrying out the conditions of the
treaty and mec ting the obligations it
has bought.

The candidates on the democratic
county ticket decline to talk politics
to republicans hut they continue to
solicit very hard for republican votes.
They insist to republicans that there
is no politics involved in the county
race. They don't acknowledge that
they stand for the Bryan Democratic
party with all it's dangerous heresies,
and that they always do everything
possible to defeat the republican
party.
