his policy in peace and war. We re-
joice in the prospective election of
David B. Henderson to be speaker of
the house of representatives, and in
dorse him as wholly worthy of that
honor. We readopt the following dec
laration from the Iowa republican plat
form of 1898:
THE monetary standard of this
country and the commercial world is
gold. The permanence of this standard
must be assured b congressional leg
islation, giving to it the validity and
vitality of public law. All other money
must be kept at a parity with gold
And we urgently call upon our sena-
tors and representatives in congress to
lend their best endeavors to enact these
propositions into law. We denounce the
Chicago platform and it's declaration
in favor of free trade and free silver
coinage at the ratio of is to l. and its
attacks upon the courts. as 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 resistance
of all good citizens. AS republicans,
we make recognition of the loyalty and
patriotism of the sound money demo-
Gratis and men of all parties who put
aside partisanship in order to main
tain the good faith of the nation and
in resistance to the Chicago platform
and its candidate. To maintain the well
fare of the people is the object and
aim of all governments.
Industry and commerce should be
left free to pursue their methods ac-
cording 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
material support promised them so long
as there is resistance to the flag any
where.
