are the backbone of the American
nation. Anything that operates to
their disadvantage strikes a direct
blow at the government itself This
the republican party realizes and pro-
yides for in its platform and 1t is with
this fact in view that the resolutions
say:
1--WE believe in all practical methods
for their (the foreign markets) further
extension, including commercial reci-
procity whenever reciprocal arrange
ments can be effected consistent with
the principles of protection and with
out injury to American agriculture,
American labor or any American in
dustry."
The platform pledges the mainte-
nance Of the gold standard, which,
though fought by the democratic party
in one of the hottest campaigns ever
known in the nations history, proved
itself the rational monetary plan. Its
opponents, at one time strong enough
to make hard and stubborn fight
are getting fewer and fewer as time
goes on.
| The encouragement and upbuildine
of the, American merchant marine, a
measure in step with commercial prog.
ress and related to it in many ways
is favored by the platform and the par.
ty also declares itself in favor of the
maintenance of a navy powerful
enough to defend the United States
against any attack. The wisdom OF
this is beyond question and 1t is not
in conflict with the declaration in favor
of international arbitration of all diff
fculties. The greatest agent for main
tanning peace is a powerful force fo1
defense.
Every declaration in the platform
can be supported by all republicans
and in fact by all who favor a continue
alton of the conditions now existing
in the country. 1t is platform tina,
augurs victory at the polls, making
possible as it does, national election
and all the changes necessary as the
result without the disturbance in bust
ness conditions that have come to be
expected every four years.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The report of the committee on reso-
lutions, made to the republican nation
al convention at Chicago yesterday,
was adopted by unanimous vote and
without any preliminary discussion. 1t
contained declaration that protection,
which guards the American industries,
is the cardinal policy of the party and
should be maintained. Since the m ain
tenance Of the principle is insisted
upon there is no reason why the rates
of tariff should be readjusted except
when conditions have so changed that
the public interest demands their alter
alton"
This is plain declaration and is evil
dence of the fact that the party will
willingly fight the coming campaign as
the champion Of protection, that prin-
ciple of which it is the father and by
which it has stood many years despite
the tlercest opposition.
"The democratic tariff has always
been followed by business adversely;
the republican tariff by business pros
perity"
This is so true that none but the
youngest voters should need to have
! it impressed upon them. History that
goes back only a few years bears out
the statement, and the panic]1y times
of the early nineties. with the accom-
panying business disaster and free
trade depression, will not soon be for
gotten. This in itself is enough to
convince many doubter that there is
something about protective tariff
that means well for the nation whose
industries it protects.
The extension of the foreign market
| is favored by the platform, but no plan
will be Endorsed which places in jeop.
ardy the present prosperity of
American agriculture, American labor
or any American industry. These must
be protected first and with these al
ways in mind American capital may
reach out for the extension of the
nations markets to every quarter OF
the globe. AS Major John F. Lacey
said IN his address in this city short
time ago, 1.-THE foreign market is of
but little comfort when the American
laborer has lost his job"

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The second congressional district of
Iowa must this fall furnish the bulk
of the interesting politics for the
Hawkeye state. In no other district
is the result in doubt. There, how
ever, a hard fight is sure to be made
on congressman. Two years ago Judge
Martin ]. Wade, of Johnson county,
was elected on the democratic ticket
During his term of office the Hearst
fight has crept into Iowa democracy
and though Judge Wade tried to keep
out of the struggle, he was forced to
come out of his retirement at the state
convention in Des Moines and align
himself with the Conservatives" and
against the Hearst side of the party.
This week the Hearst members OF
the state central committee met and

THE M,kINLEY IDEA,

What are these principles, my fel-
low citizens? A Protective Tariff that
takes care Of every American inter.
est and serves the highest good for
American labor. A traiff that insists
that our work shall be done at home
and not abroad. A reciprocity that
while seeking out the worlds markets
for our surplus products, will never
yield up single days work that be.

Honest money, dollar as sound as
the government and as untarnished as
its flag"

A THOUGHT FOR THE DEPARTED.

Marks OF respect and love have
been shown on many occasions during
the republican national convention
for those two, leaders who were the
two most prominent in the campaign
of four years ago but have since
passed to the Great Beyond. The
American public reveres the memory
of William Mckinley and Marcus A.
Hanna They were typical Americans.
Their highest aim was the betterment
of the conditions surrounding their
fellow countrymen. Their influence
for good lives after them.

national convention are satisfied with
the present conditions and the policies

was not one word of discussion.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(Special)
I'm this section Of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame
Back there is only one sure cure and
that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This be-
lief grows from such cases as that OF
Mrs M. L. Dawson of this place. She
tells the story herself as follows:
II have suffered from rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn' I
bothered me since took DoGd's Kid
ney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
The result would be considered wonder
full were it not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
arriving at verdict that "Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are the one sure cure for
Rheumatism"
