RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
The republicans of North Dakota in
convention assembled reaffirm the
principles of the platform of the re-
publican national convention held at
Philadelphia in June 1900.
The present happy and prosperous
condition Of the American people is
the result of the wise administration
of the republican party and the enact
ment into law of the more important
principles or the platform of 1896.
Four years of democratic rule had
paralyzed the industries of the coun-
try, rendered farming unremunera-
tive, impoverished labor, unsettled all
monetary values and practically bank
rupted the United States treasury. In
q time of profound peace democratic
administration was forced to sell gov
ernment bonds to pay the necessary
and current expenses of the govern
ment. Under the wise, business-like
and patriotic administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley these conditions have
all been changed. All branches of in
dustry remain active and successful; !;
agricultural interests more prosperous
and labor more generally and contin-
uously employed and better paid than
at any previous time. Monetary val
ues have been fixed and settled and in
the treasury of the United States, in
stead of deficit, one of the marked
features OF democratic administra-
tion, we find a revenue adequate to
meet all the demands of the govern
ment.
We favor such legislation as will
destroy all unlawful combinations OF
capital formed for the purpose of linn
iting production or increasing the
price of manufactured products. All
aggregations of capital formed for this
purpose are detrimental to the best
interests of trade and hostile to the
laboring people.
