The following resolutions were
adopted:
We, the chosen representatives OF
the democratic party in Iowa, dele
gate convention assembled, hereby
declare anew our faith in the funda
mental principles OF the democratic
party and renew our allegiance there
to. We find much in the domestic
affairs of the nation that ought to
be changed.
OPPOSE PROTECTION.
The tariff policy, originally adopt
ed for the avowed purpose OF raising
revenue to meet the enormous bur-
dens of the civil war, has been turned
to use OF individual and class inter-
est until it has become the creator OF
countless unearned fortunes and the
shelter Of huge combinations OF CAPT.
tai, orgaized In the form OF trusts,
which are strangling competition in
many OF our industries, destroying
individual effort, crushing ambition
largely in every line OF industry and
already acquiring that power which
enables them to dictate in their own
interest the prices OF labor and raw
material and the cost of transporta-
ton OF finished products.
We declare our unqualified opposi.
tion to the principle Of government
by injunction.
We renew our demand for the cleo.
ton of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to the
policy OF Imperialism by this gov
eminent, instituted, iostered and
maintained by the republican party,
and we demand that ourgovernment
shall declare it to be its purpose, and
without delay, to adopt such meas
ures as shall give to thepeople Of the
Philippine Islands and Porto Rico
their inalienable right OF seli-govern-
ment.
We condemn the republican party
for it's financial policies which would
foist upon the country an unstable
4 currency based upon uncertain pri
vate securities.
Il ASSET CURRENCY.
We protest against the plan pre-
sented In the Aldrich bill recently
before the United States senate by
which the money Of the nation shall
be loaned to capitalists upon tn,
bonds and securities Of private cor
porations, as an effort to give value
and stability to watered bonds ant
securities OF corporations and trusts
many OF which are maintaining mo
nopolies In defiance oilaw and publ,
sentiment.
We insist that the integrity OF th,
money Of the nation be guarded with
