The Platform.
Following is the platform a. 1t was
adopted yestarday evening:
The Republicans Of North Dakota
through their state central commit
tea, selected. according to the laws. Of
the state, make the following declara-
tons Of their views upon public at
fairs:
The Republicans of the state Of
North Dakota declare their allegiance
to the doctrines and principles of the
Republican party and to the Repub-
'lcsn national platform Of 1908.
The Republican party from its birth
has been party Of protection, hold
ing fast to the doctrine that the
American standard Of living in this
country should be maintained, that
the products of the American farm
and factory should have preference
in the great American home markets
and that the American laborer should
not be compelled to sell his services
in competition with the lower price
Of labor in Europe or the Orient.
To prevent monopoly and injustice
to the consumer In the application OF
this protective policy the Republican
party has always maintained that the
protection accorded the American
people of all classes should measure
the difference between the cost OF
production at home and abroad.
Tariff Declaration.
Whereas, 1t is impossible for any
political party to enact fair, just
and scientific tariff law without re-
liable Information upon which to base
It and no such information being at
hand, we recognize that the Payne
tariff law 10 not. a perfect tariff
measure, and we therefore favor q
reimbursement Of the tariff by consid-
ering the various schedules separate
Ilp 30 that each subject can be dealt
! with upon its own merits in accord
ance with Republican tariff princi-
pies, and the findings and recommen-
dations Of an Independent non-par-
