The Platform.
After approving the administration OF
President Mckinley and Governor
Shaw, the resolutions state:
We commend the action of the Iowa
delegation in congress in its support
of protection. of the Dingley tariff of
the maintenance of the gold standard
and in its faithful support of The adj
of President Mckinley in
his policy in peace and war. We re-
joice in the prospective election of Da-
vid 3. Henderson to be speaker of the
house of representatives, and endorse
him as wholly worthy Of that honor.
We readopt the following declaration
from the Iowa Republican platform of
1898:
The monetary standard of this |
country and the commercial world is |!
gold. The permanence of this standard |
must be assured by congressional legis- |
lation, giving to it the validity and vi /
tality of public law. All other money /
must be kept at a parity with gold
And we urgently call upon our SEN !
atOrs and representatives in congress
to lend their best endeaVors to enact |
these propositions into law. We de- |
nounce the Chicago platform. and its
declaration in favor of free trade and /
free silver coinage at the ratio of 10 to
!. and its attack upon the courts, as
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
resistance of all good citizens.
Praise For Gold Democrats.
"As Republicans we make recogni-
the sound money Democrats and men
Of all parties who put aside partisan
ship in order to maintain the good
faith of the nation. and in resistance
to ,the Chicago platform and its can
1idate. To maintain the welfare of the
people is the object and aim of all
governments.
Industry and commerce should be
eft free to pursue their methods ac-
,ording to the natural laws of the
world, but when the business aggre-
cations known. as trusts prove hurtful
to the people they must be restrained
by laws, and if 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
support promised them SO
ong as there is resistance 10 the flag
anywhere.
