STATE PLATFORM.
"We, tlie democrats of Iowa, in convention
assembled, heartily indorse, and liereby aflirm,
the platform adopted by the national demo
cratic convention at Chicago in ISOG sis a true
and correct statement of democratic
lies. Wo recognize in the candi-

si?.-we pledge to them our most earnest support.
Recognizing in the financial issue the great and
controlling question of the present campaign
we Invite all voters, irresnectable of past party
animations, who are in favor of the interests
and prosperity of the great masses of the peo

**We, tne democrats of the United States,
In national convention assembled, do re
affirm our allegiance to those great es

lUpon which our institutions are founded
and- which the democratic party has advo*
icated from Jefferson's time to our own—
freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
Xreedom ot conscience, tho preservation of
personal rights, the cauality of all citizens
(Mfore the law, and the faithful ob
servance of constitutional limitations.
"During all these years the democratlo
Xarty has resisted the tendency of Belflsh
Interests to the centralization of govern
mental power, and steadfastly maintained
She integrity of the dual scheme of gov
ernment established by the founders of
this republic of republics. Under Its guid*
ance and teachings the great principle of
local self-government has found its best
expression in the maintenance of the
rights of the states and in Its assertion of
MM the necessity of confining the general gov
ernment to the exercise of the powers
granted by the constitution of the United
States.

Pauper Labor l'lnnk.
"We hold that the most efficient way of
protecting American labor is to prevent
the importation of foreign pauper labor to

that the value of the home market to our
American farmers and artisans is greatly
reduced by a vicious monetary system
which depresses the prices of their prod

thus deprives them of the means of pur
chasing the products of our home manu

of the country, we demand the passage of
such laws as may be necessary to protect

ernment, such aid should be extended upon

permanent improvement Is secured.
"Confiding in tne justice our cause and
the necessity of its success at the polls we
submit the foregoing declaration of prin
ciple and purposes to the considerate judg
ment of the American people. We invite
the support of all citizens who approve
them and who desire to have them made
effective through legislation for the relief
ot the people and the restoration of the
country Drosoerity."
The venerable\Judge Murdock who
assisted in the organization of the
republican party in 1854, and who has
never deviated from its support and
advocacy was a delegate in the recent
democratic congressional convention,
and in a speech cogent with reason,
logic and facts, told why he was there.
He said that for more than twenty
years he had advocated the restora
t.ion of silver to the place in our
monetary syetein It had occupied
from 1792 to 1873, believing the re
publican party, as expressed in its
platforms honestly favored the adopt
ion of such a policy. He read from
its platform of 1892, adopted at Min
neapolis this declaration:
"The American people, from tradi
tion and interest, favor bimetallism,
and the Republican Party demands
the use of both (*old and silver as
standard money.
From the platform adopted the re
publican party in.Chicago in 1888, he
read as follows
"The Republican party is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver as
money and condemns the policy of
the Democratic administration in its
efforts to demonetize silver."
When the St. Louis convention met-,
the Judge said he expected the party
would endorse its former platforms
in favor of silver, but instead of that
it asked the people to await the per
mission of England to declare its pol
icy. The Judge said instead of hum
bly bowing before Queen Victoria
and begging her permission to make
our laws he would rise to the stature
of an American and declare that
"These States are of right and ought
to be free and independent as was
proclaimed by the patriots of the
American Revolution. His speech
was full of good points and at its con
clusion was loudly applauded.

The Gresoo Times says Mr. Reed in
his speech at the Lime Springs politi
cal meeting made a grand efence of
the Supreme court against the Chica
go platform. Mr. Reed may be just
as good a lawyer as the Times thinks
he is, but the following opinions of
the dissenting Judges in the income
tax case is a criticism of that court
from its own members worth reading
and leaves the criticism of the Chica
go platform, by comparison mild as
dishwater.
Justice Brown said:
"The decision involves nothing less
than the surrender of the taxing
power to the moneyed olasses. While
I have no doubt that congress will
find some means of surmounting the
present crisis, my fear is that in some
moment of national peril this decis
ion will rise up to frustrate its will
and paralyze its arm. I hope it may
not prove the first step toward the
submergence of the liberties of the
liberties of the people in a despotism
of wealth."
Justice Harlan said:
"In my judgment this decision
strikes at the very foundation of na
tional authority, in that it denies to
the general government a power
which is, or may be at some time
imperatively needed, in a great em
ergency, say in case of war.
The practical if not the direct effect
of the decision to-day is to give to
certain kinds of property a position
of favoritism and advantage that is
inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of our social organization,
and to invest them with power and
influence that is perilous to that por
tion of the people upon which rests
tbe larger part of the burden of the
government, and who ought not to
be subjected to the domination of
aggregated wealth any more than the
property of the country should be at
the mercy of the lawless."
Jnstice White said:
"The injustice of the conclusion
points to the error of adopting it. It
takes the invested wealth and reads
it into the constitution as a favored
and protected class of property, whilst
it leaves the occupation of the minis
ter, the doctor, the professor, the
lawyer, the inventor, the author, the
merchant and all the various forms of
activity upon which the prosperity
of a peopje must depend, subject to
taxation without apportionment."
Justice Jackson said that he con
curred fully in the opinion expressed
by Justice White, and declared that:
"The decision reverses the common
rule of taxation by exempting those
who are best able to pay and forcing
the burden upon the shoulders of
those who are least able to pay."
In concluding Justice Jackson said
that in his opinion the decision was
the most disastrous blow ever struck
at the constitutional power of con
gress. It struck down an important,
vital and essential power of the gov
ernment. It left the government, in
case of necessity, without power to
reace by taxation in any form the vast
incomes derived from the real and
personal property of the country."
Accepting the opinions of these four
distinguished members of the tribu
nal, it is not those who criticise the
income tax decision that are anar
chistic, but the decision itself and the
judges who rendered it.
In the matter of the Supreme court
refusing to declare tho United States
bank'act unconstitutional, the act
was allowed to stand until Andrew
Jackson boldly declared it unconsti
tutional and based his veto of its
charter upon that alleged fact.
Abraham Lincoln in his debate with
senator Douglass denounced the Drerl
Scott decision justifying it on the
precedent of Jackson cited above.
The fifth resolution of the republi
can national platform of 1860, in the
most emphatic language condemns
the Federal courts for their measure
less subserviency to a purelv local
interest which it characterized the is
sue raised by the Dred Scott case.
Although Mr. Reed and every at
torney who appeals from a decision
of a court, calls in question the cor
rectness of a judicial decision, and
when he asks a rehearing in the Su
preme court, he asks that court to re
verse its decision 'just what ihe
democratic platform asks. It will
not seek to procure a reversal by the
use of money, but as is claimed by
the friends of the Judge who changed
his opinion in the income tax case,
by the force of public sentiment of
tbe people, which in that oase simply
meant the sentiment of the few liable
to the tax, entirely ignoring the sen
timent of the country at large. It is
one of the sacred rights of the people
by all lawful means, to procure from
courts and from legislators, laws and
decisions oonducible to the public
welfare and for the furtherance of
justice, and when they believe these
have been violated to seek the repeal
of the law thatjhas produced the in
jury, or the reversal of a wrong de
cision of a court.

A Great German Thinker lor Silver.
Dr. Otto Arendt, the famous Ger
man bimetallist and statesman whose
praises have been frequently sounded
by the monometallic American press,
has sent-an article to the New York
Journal in which he takes the ground
that the election of Bryan and the
re-opening of the American mints
are desirable because by reason of
them Europe would be forced to re
adept bimetallism. Dr. Arendt was
the chairman of the commission ap
pointed by the Reichstag two years
ago to investigate the oause of the
agricultural and industrial depression
and which subsequently reported
that the rise in gold resultant from
the discrimination against silver was
responsible, and he is recognized by
scholars throughout the world as one
of the foremost economic thinkers of
Europe. His article in tbe Journal
is a most important contribution to
the literature of the money discus
sion, and it deserves to be widely
read and considered. Those of Dr.
Arendt's compatriots who are Ameri
can citizens will doubtless peruse it
with more than ordinary interest.
Dr. Arendt says:
"The people of the United states
have never been called upon to de
cide a question so important as that
of the coming presidential election
"Pel sons and parties do not count
in this campaign at all—the great
fundamental principles of modern
national life are at stake. Shall these
be upheld or shall they be trampled
under foot? This is the all-absorbing
question.
"Europe, the mighty grandparent
of the young colossus, feels in her old
bones that the ballot boxes which
are soon to be set up in the cities and
villages and hamlets of America, will
speak the destinies of her leading na
tions.
"Never before was the dividing line
so sharply defined, and we under
btand that the sovereign people the
sovereign people of the United States
mean once for all to solve the social
question which has in late years
caused so many disturbances and un
happy conditions.
"Look at the two sides and mark
the striking contrasts. McKinley
and his votaries represent tha party
of so-called "honest money" and dis
honest profits, the party of trusts
and monopolies, the party that
brought a pillage of national re
sources for the benefit of capital to a
fine point and into method on the
one side.
Their opponents we find under the
proud banner of Bryan. These are
the productive classes—workingmen
and farmers who refuse to permit
themselves to be bled in the future
for the cause of the gold standard.
'European bimetallists who have
been fighting the gold standard for
many years past regard international
bimetallism as the true solution of all
the questions involved.
"My own views on that subject I have
laid down in an essay published in
the June issue of the North American
Review, when I gave it as my opin
ion that the question of free silver
should be settled only after an inter
national agreement regarding the
relative values of gold and silver had
been arrived at for at that time I
took it for granted that both parties
would favor silver in their platforms,
although not to the extent of free
coinage.
"With respect to the possible can
didates, bimetallists, taking McKin
ley to be a thorough silver man, cer
tainly regarded him with much favor.
What disappointment, however, came
with the St. Louis convention! It
was obvious that the spirit of that
convention was inspired by Wall
street, while McKinley himself de
serted the people's cause and closed
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
with all grasping capital.
"Heaven-high above him, unfet
tered and unmer'cenary, rose Bryan,
who at once gained the respect and
sympathy of bimetallists the world
over.
"If I were an American citizen
would unhesitatingly vote for the
people's champion.
'•America offers the tantalizing al
ternative between a prohibitive tariff
and a silver standard. But our
money monopolists in this case har
vest the storm where they have bet-n
sowing tho wind. Their long con
tinued opposition to international bi
metallism is on the eve of receiving
its proper retribution. Bryan's vic
tory will no doubt prepare the way
for an international agreement.
"Should Bryan be elected we, the
bimetallists. would gain formidable
allies, while American hankers would
certainly do all in their power to
forestall tbe depreciation of American
values by backing our cause of inter
national bimetallism.
"Now, as to the prospects in Eu
rope. The possessors of all metal
values would iniluence the bourse to
such an extent as to cause capital to
reconsider its attitude toward bimet
allism, whereupon the European
governments may be obliged to adopt
bimetallism in order to restore cofi
dence &nd equality. All Europe hai
formally declared that bimetallism
shall not be introduced without
Britain's co-operation. Tlie English
cabinet, ut Balfours instigation, de
cided March if tlmt, nothing should
interfere with the gold standard,
Balfour represents tho remarkable
and questionable view that no
change of coinage should be imposed
on financial aieu. In other words
tlie world of finance rules -the thief
is jailer.
"Balfour hopes and waits patiently
for the bimetallic conversion of Lon
don, That famous debate of March
17 has clearly shown what, is thought
of the question in tlie city. The Shy
lock standpoint was never presented
with more brntal effrontery than by
Harcourt. The American silver
party will find Harcourt's speech the
best campaign document. A pro
ducer who reads this speech and does
not vote for Bryan, cuts his own
throat.
When once it becomes fully un
derstood in London that Bryan is
bound to enact the free silver coin
age, without the permission of the
stock exchange, will not the fear of
the decrease of American values
bring about the city's conversion?
Then Balfour will follow his bimetal
lic convictions, and in that case all
Europe is conquered.
It is self-evident that the Ameri
can people desire to be as indepen
dent of the manipulators of the bour
ses of New York and Chicago, as they
must be, absolutely, from the condi
tions that govern speculation in Ber
lin and London. The so-called silver
fanaticism of which we hear so much
is really but a protest against shady
bourse manipulations that threaten
the small man year in and year out.
"The "honest money" party over
looks the fact that the present Amer
can standard is endangered more by
oauses emanating from itself than by
Bryan. It is true that the banks are
just now heaping up the coin of the
treasury and contrary to their usual
ways, without compensation.
This may proceed for some time,
but should McKinley be well installed
they will remember the nice little
profits of the Cleveland bond issu
and then "get even."
Does anybody believe that Wall
street gives up its gold unselfishly?
The aim is to keep up the single gold
standard, for should November pro
nounce its doom, silver would, as
money, be decidedly 'sounder' than
paper with a gold premium."
Dr. Arendt approves and desires in
dependent coinage by the United
States because he perceives in it an
assurance of relief not only to Ameri
can producers and debtors but to the
profoundly distressed producers and
debtors of Germany.

Burke Cochran, worked off quite a
modern joke in his speech in reply to
Bryan at Madison street Garden,
New York on Wednesday night of
last week. He said: "It is not more
money that we need, but greater ac
tivity of the money we have." Now
what little the Union man has had
the opportunity of handling has been
altogether to active. It has come and
gone before we really had time to see
what the color of the stuff was. What
we have out west Burke,is altogether
too active for convenience and com
fort, and makes us grangers hump
ourselves to even get our eyeS on the
stuff occasionlly.—Fayette Co. Union

The Ottumwa sta'e convention
made no mistake in [the nomination
of Charles Ruegnitz for State Treas
urer. Mr. Ruegnitz has served as
treasurer of this county for eleven
years, and at no time has there ever
been even a whisper against his hon
esty or integrity as a man or as an
official. Four years ago he was nomi
nated for this same position'and ran
ahead of his ticket. This year the
chances are for his election, and he
will be sure to receive a large vote
wherever he is known. His election
will be an honor well deserved.—Bl
