party OF Iowa, in state convention assembled,
make these declarations:
We enter upon the political cam patgn OF 1900
with the policies presented by the republican
promises all redeemed. In the light OF to-day 1t
is apparent that the attempt to debase the cur
rency as u remedy for the hard times the n pre-
vLiling was monstrous blunder. which IL sue
cessful, would have involved the country In
lasting humiliation and shame, and proved dis
astrous to the industrial interests
We insist that no issue can be paramount
