"On the great principles of the party
we are one, and on the details of the
party we will become sufficiently one
to give the Democratic party in Iowa
another taste of their old-time habit
ual experience, for we have drawn a
platform that is not only strong
enough to hold up every one of the
hundred thousand Republicans Of Iowa,
but is wide enough to enable everyone
of us to move about on it comfortably
without having our convictions on
either jostled or pushed overheard"
Delegates and spectators alike rose
to their feet and repeatedly called for
Senator Allison, who said:
And Now Allison.
II have listened, as you all have, to
the platform reported by your COM
mittee on resolutions, which embodied,
as you believe, and as I believe, the
principles and policies of the Repub-
lican party from the day Of it's birth
down to the present moment, and that
party, when it abandons these great
principles and policies. will have no
longer any reason for it's existence.
at must be expected that If few
of us gathered here today differ upon
the details as respects the application
of these policies, that when we come
into the assemblage of representative
men of all the states of this nation,
having each and all a diversified inter
est conflicting more or less and more
or less -clashing, we shall see differ
ences, but when'-we come to apply
these policies we will apply them IN
diligently, taking care of the just
rights of ourselves and also the just
rights of all those with whom we are
associated in the great work of deal
ing with these great questions l In
dorse everything said in that platform
because I believe it to be sound and
just as respects the application Of the
principles which the Republican party
avows and adheres to. Therefore, 1T is
that 1 shall expect all to do what we
can do properly to promote the poll
cies which we have promulgated here
today"
Pyrotechnics From Cousins.
Congressman Cousins was next call
ed out and in speech strongly upheld
the Dingley law. He said:
Protective tariff is the wall of
American protection upon which the
of the panic and disaster of '96, wav-
ing the flag Of employment, prosperity
and independence in the face of
all the world. The COMMERCIAL moles
of Europe have tried to bu1>ow under
there and the rodents Of reform to
gnaw through and Democracy to tram
pie down, but it rests secure in the
judgment of the people, who know by
sore experience and difference between
buying abroad and buying at home. as
we'll as they know the difference be-
tween winter and summer"
Congressman Lacy spoke as follows:
Like by friend, Cousins, I am a
stand patter' from Stand Patters-
Vile 1 am not here to apologize for the
Dingley law, but to promise that none
of it's material benefits to this country
recognize that other men, some of
whom do not have the same RESPONSE
bility to vote on the question would,
perhaps, do otherwise"
Here's Your Platform.
1--WE approve the treaty with Cuba re-
Gently ratified as comforting substan-
tial benefits upon both countries and
urge that the remaining steps neces-
sary to make it effective be promptly
taken.
Comment on Trusts.
1--WE believe that the large corpora
tons, commonly known as trusts
should be so regulated and supervised,
both in their organization and opera
ton, that their evil tendencies may be
checked and their evil practices pre-
vented. In many instances they are
efficient industrial instruments and the
natural outcome of an inevitable pro-
cess Of economic evolution. We do not
hot, b11t .i,,f h
they shall be so regulated and con-
trolled as to prevent monopoly and
promote competition, and in the fullest
measure subserve and advance the
| public good.
1.-The patriot and resolute course of
the president of the United States, in
| his recommendation to congress upon
| this subject and upon the related sub
| ject of the further regulation of inter-
| state commerce, commands our conf
| dence and admiration, and recent leg
| islation of congress in harmony with
| his recommendations meets our hearty
I approval.
1--WE note with satisfaction the grad

relations with the Philippine islands
under an administrative policy avoid
| ing the necessity for control through
| military power, and we admire the
! steady progress made by the Philippine
| people for the fullest possible degree OF
self government.
1--WE renew our allegiance to the
| principles of the gold standard as
enunciated in the national platforms
| of the party of 1895 and 1900, which
| resulted in the establishment Of parity
| of all our money and the establishment
| Of our currency on gold basis.
Touching the Race Question.
| 1.-THE essence Of free government Is
| government by law. Laws must be en-
| forced by the government and should
| be cheerfully obeyed by the people
| The spirit of lawlessness wherever met
| must be rebuked, and we commend the
| fidelity and zeal of the national and
| state officials wherever exercised for
the vindication of this principle.
1--WE are earnestly opposed to all Leg
| islation designed to accomplish the dis
reimbursement of citizens on lines OF
race or color or station in life, and
| condemn the measures adopted by the
| Democratic party in certain states OF
| the Union to accomplish that end.
Under Republican administration oil
national affairs gratitude to our SOL
| diers and sailors has been attested by
liberal pensions provided by legislation
supported always by the nearly unani-
| nous votes Of the Republicans in con-
| gress. We recommend the further pro-
| vision for this purpose as made by the
