Republican State Platform.

We commend the action of the Iowa delega-
Uion in congress in its support of protection by
the Dingley tariff, of the maintenance OF the
gold standard and its 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
or of the house Representatives, and endorse
him us wholly worthy of that honor. We re-
adopt the following declaration of the Iowa
platform of 1895: 1.-The monetary standard of
this country and the commercial world is gold.
The permanencc of this standard must be AS
surcd 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 upon 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 ut the ratio of Is to !, and its attack upon
the courts us threatening the American people
with departure from the policies OF good gov
ernmcnt that would prove fraught with evil to
the American people. The cnormlty of that
platform call for the resistance of all good cit-
zens AS republicans we make recognition OF
the loyalty and exalted patriotism of sound

put aside partisanshp 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 lett Tree 10
pursue their methods according 10 the natural
laws of the world, but when business aggrega-
tons known as trusts prove hurtiul 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 ana
courage of our officers, and glory in the Valor,
consistency 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 in
the farthest east it is the sign apd 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 or 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 Tor

The apple crop is short in Iowa this
year and thousands of our people will
miss healthful and pleasant diet.
There seems to be something in the
apples acid that just satisfies the hui
man appetite and meets the system $
need in the fall and winter months.
The apples popularity is increasing
and Iowa farmers will do well to give
more careful attention to the planting
and to the care of their orchards. Ii
they would bestow the same intelli-
gent study and care on them that they
do on their corn crop or their herd OF
Poland Chinas, they would make II lot
of money by it. Those farmers who
have few loads of apples to sell this
year are to be envied.

Sundays Inter Ocean
Manila, Oct. S.-Aguinaldo, at the
rebel headquarters at Tarlac, has is
sued proclamation releasing Ameri-
can prisoners and permitting the Fill
pino soldiers in the northern provinces
to return to their homes. The procla'
nation says in part: r..
In America there is great party
that insists on the government recog-
nizing Filipino independence. That
party will compel the United States to
fulfill the promises made to M in all
solemnity and good faith, though not
put in writing.
therefore we must show our graft
tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
to God that the great Democratic party
may win the next Presidential election
aud imperialism fail in its mad attempt
to subjugate us by force of arms.
"Therclare some Americans in The
Filippines who have joined us because
| they disaaproVe n war of what Mr.
| Atkinson calls criminal aggression.
When offered chance to return to
their owncamp they declined"
This is plain proof that the insir
gents are prolonging their struggle be-
cause of the hope and implied promis-
es held out by the democratic party
The democratic party 10y its actions
here ut home is thus surely responsible
for the blood of our American soldiers
shed in the Philippines. How do the
many democrats who are good, loyal
citizens like to be made helpers Of the
forces fighting our flag?
A direct issue is drawn between
Admiral Dewey and Aguinaldo, the
latter claiming Dewey promised them
independence, Dewey denies this e.
1t is unreasonable to suppose that
Dewey nude any such promise. We
believe Dewey and we believe Aguinal-
do to be an adventuror and u Irevari-
Gator.
llcGe are TWO Sl'lth W blllH ''hblb-
vcrsy-the American and the Anti
American. We should all be patriotic
enough to be Americans and not take
sides with our country's enemies.
Our government overturned the
authority that had oppressed the
Philippines for several hundred years
and the temporary government of those
islands devolved upon us. Aguinaldo
who was Il practical exile ut Hong
Kong was invited home to assist in
this overthrow. Because he and his
army was not allowed to enter Manila
and loot it, they commenced hostilitics
against our armies, claiming they were
struggling for freedom while they were
really struggling for the license of
misruling the islands.

Some of the newspaper estimates of
the opinions and positions of Fred
White are wrong in our opinion in one
important particular. Noticing the
fact that he is sighting the free silver
discussion in this campaign they infer
that he is influenced to do this because
he shares the stalwart and sound money
opinions of the German race to which
he belongs. This is wrong conclusion.
White has always been flying off into
space afte- some imaginary thing. He
was ridical greenbacker, he has been
an advocate to n considerable degree
of the vagaries of Henry Georgeism,
and no man in Iowa was worse af-
flicted with 1G to l ism than he. White
is not the careful, conservative and
safe man that the ordinary German is.

We wonder how much Bryan's
speech was to cost the Harlan people
Tuesday. We see Ivy the daily papers
that at Canton, H., Bryan received
5000 for his speech there last week,
and that he demanded and received his
money before he made his speech.
The committee at Canton said that re-
Gently in one week Bryan received
50, 500 for his speeches. OF course he
doesn't know prosperity has come. He
is playing the American people for all
they are worth.

Fred Whites twisting apparatus
must be little out of whack. He has
not yet succeeded in showing how the
action of the United States in taking
the Germans in Venezuela under it's
protection pending the arrival of Ger
man warship is the result of any dia-
bolical conspiracy to involve this
country in n war with Germany Sioux

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-
gross 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 prostration of
industry andlthe 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
is British policy, and
it's 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
OH the United States only by the
sitting of that spirit and love of lib
erty which proclaimed orr political in
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 ut the
present legal ratio of 16 to /, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that tho
standard silver dollar shall be full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public and private, and we fav-
or such Legislation Us will prevent for
the future the decentralization of any
kind of legal-tender money 10y private

OF course Fred Il. White has good
record in the civil war. He was n
good soldier and for that he has re-
ceived due recognition. But that does
not afford any reason for his present
opposition to the government. While
OR troops are engaged with az armed
enemy the man who gives aid or com
fort to the opposing armies is "a cop
perhead. Mr. Whites record as sol
der cannot affect the case. He is for
Aguinaldo because he is opposed to
the armies fighting against Aguinaldo.

Bryan's attempt to make it appear
that he is a disciple of Abraham Lin
coin is ridiculous. Lincoln isn't alive
to repudiate Bryan's heresies, but his
life, to those who are best conversant
with it, speaks plainly for the great
principles which the republican party
has stood for in the past and stands
for now. Let Bryan not traduce our
martyred hero.

When the dam is seen to lie down to

teeth of the pigs, which have become

One mistake often made by feeders

Farm and Garden.

Those who like their asparague
white must keep plenty of earth on
the bed or row, and cut below the sur
face as soon as it comes through. My
family don't like it that way. 1t is
not tender and it is insipid; at least,
that is the way it tastes to us after
several years trial of the green grass
cut at the surface of the bed.
Frost is apt to surprise the gardener
in May. / find it prudent TO watch
the weather closely and have boxes
and baskets handy to turn over tender
plants. Old newspapers will serve the
same purpose by putting handful of
earth on the corners. If there is wind
enough to blow the paper off there is
not likely to be any frost.
To secure a good stand of lima
beans, I carefully select the seed, dis
carding any bean that, is not smooth

Deafness CANNOT be Cured.

By local applications as they can
not slit reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustschian tube. When
this tube is indsmed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infsmed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Mnttnn Chops.

Sheep become very uneasy during
The first warm days and want to get
out upon the pasture. See that they
have nice, juicy hay, timothy and
clover mixed if you have it, and whole
oats, with now and then roots or bran.
When the ewes are turned on good
grass, grain must be cut down and
soon taken away entirely, as the slim
ulating effect of the grass, together
with the grain, may cause an over
abundant supply of milk, sickening the
lambs and injuring the udders of the
ewes.
Great care and judgment must be
used in turning on green grass the first
time AS collie and subsequent bloat-
ing, followed by death may be the res
suit. The safeguards are, alloWins3
them to remain on the grass only IA
short time each day at first, Ind glYp :
full dry feed before and after the&tA
spent in the pasture lot. Then
will not be hungry and gorge tn
selves with the green food. M
We must now look ahead to the tim
when we are to wean the lambs. ana
have a succuIent pasture on which to
turn them They will need this in con-.
nection with grain at this time, to
avoid a check in growth. This may
be clover or rape pasture, rape be-
ing fit to turn on about eight to ten
weeks after sowing.
The flock should be brought to the
barn at night, until the ground be-
comes thoroughly warm and dry.
Provide shelter from the sun. Never
compel sheep to stay in a pasture
with no shade.
If flock being fed at distant barn
be frightened in any way, it is best to
bring them home for a week and calm
their nervousness by frequent atten-
ton and quiet.
Do not allow lambs out in a rain
storm soon after castration. They arc
liable to take cold and die.
In former years ticks were supposed
Ito be the only parasites troubling
sheep, but with the introduction of
coarser wooded breeds, come minute
lice.
Do not neglect to dip both sheep

slavery Is Not Yet Extinct.

1t is generally supposed that slavery
no longer exists in the United States of
America, but by those who make close
study of such matters this will be
promptly recognized as a very great
mistake In San Francisco alone there
are said to be 900 Chinese women who
are, SO far as they know to the con-
trary, the property of their masters.
In Brooklyn quite recently rather
attractive young woman was sold to a
Chinese laundryman for $500. The re-
markable phase of the Chinese slavery.
which prevails in this country is that
the victims do not seem to realize the
abjectness of their condition and would
very much prefer to remain here as
they are than return to their native
land and it's daily grind for food, with
the result of each day efforts constant
