"We, tlie democrats of Iowa, in convention
assembled, heartily indorse, and hereby alllrm,
tlie platform adopted by tlie national demo
cratlc convention at Chicago in lsae as a true
and correct statement of democratic
principles. We recognize in the candi
dates named l)v said national convention noble
'. ind patriotic champions of said principles, and
•ve pledge to them our most earnest support,
lecogulzing in tlie llnaucisil issue the great and
controlling question of tlie present campaign
ire invite
all voters, irrespectable of past party
Afflillatlons, who are in favor of tlie interests
and prosperity of the great masses of tlie peo
ple, to Join with us in carrying the election this
fell to the end that financial reiiej may be given
and prosperity restored to the country."
NATIONAL FLATFOEM.
"We, the aemocratB of the United States,
in national convention assembled, do re
affirm our allegiance to those great es
*ontlal principles of justice and liberty
[upon which our Institutions are founded
land which the democratic party has advo
icated from Jefferson's time to our own—
freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
{freedom of conscience, the preservation of
ipersori&l rights, the equality of all citizens
before the law, and the faithful ob
,aervance of constitutional limitations.
"During all these years the democratic
.'arty has resisted the tendency of selfish
Interests to the centralization of govern
mental power, and steadfastly maintained
he integrity of the dual scheme of gov
inment established by the founders of
his republic of republics. Under Its guid
ance and teachings the great principle of
jlocal self-government has found Its best
expression In the maintenance of the
Tights of the states and In its assertion of
{the necessity of confining the general gov
ernment to the exercise of the powers
granted by the constitution of the United
stftt68
I "The constitution of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the rights of
civil and religious liberty. The democratic
party has always been the exponent of
political liberty and religious freedom and
It renews Its obligations and reaffirms Its
devotion to these fundamental principles
|of the constitution.
Financial Flank.
"Recognizing that the money question
paramount to all others at this time,
re Invite attention to the fact that the
Jederal constitution names silver and gold
together as the money metals of tbe United
States, and that the llrst coinage law
tassed by congress under tbe constitution
lade the silver dollar the unit of value and
Imltted gold to free coinage at the ratio
leasured Dy the silver dollar unit.
We deolare that the act of 1873 demone
tizing sliver without the knowledge or
mpnroval of the American people has re
sulted In the appreciation of gold and a
(corresponding fall in the prices of com-
g1
odltles produced by the people a heavy
orease in the burden of taxation and of
debts, public and private the enrich'
xnent of the money lending class at home
una abroad prostration of industry and
imooverlshment of the ueoDle.
"We are unalterably opposed to the sln
grle gold standard, which has locked fast
She prosperity of an Industrial people In
Ithe paralysis of hard times.
"Gold monometallism Is a British policy,
land Its adoption has brought other nations
into financial servitude to London. It Is
Hot only un-American, but antl-Amerlcan,
land it can be fastened on the United States
ionljr by the stifling of that Indomitable
vplrlt and love of liberty which proclaimed
tour political Independence In 1776 and won
It In the war of tne revolution.
"We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of sixteen to one without waiting
:ortheald or consent of any other nation,
a I We demand that the standard silver dollar
phall be a full legal tender, equally with
I {gold, for all debts, public and private, and
IRve favor suoh legislation as will prevent
'Me demonetization of any kind of legal
landflr monov air nrlvata r-.ontra.ni
We are opposed to tne policy and prac
ttlce of surrendering to the holders of the
obligations of the United States the option
reserved ty law to the government of re
deeming such obligations In either silver
oln or gold coin.
Bonds.
"We are opposed to the Issuing of lnter
igat-bearing bonds of the United States in
°l Peace, and condemn the trafficking
With banking syndicates, which, In ex
jcn&nfltO for bonds and at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the federal
(treasury with gold to maintain the policy
w*f sola monometallism.
"Congress alone nas the power to coin
land Issue money, and President Jackson
Ueolared that this power could not be dele-
tnks
ted to corporations or Individuals. We,
srefore, denounce the Issuance of notes
landed to circulate as money by national
as In derogation of the constitution,
and we demand that all paper which Is
made a legal tender for public and private
debts, or which Is receivable for dues to
the United States, shall be Issued by the
ge-redeemable
overnment of the United States, and shall
In coin.
Tariff and Taxation.
"We hold that tariff duties should be
levied for purposes of revenue, and that
taxation, should be limited by the needs of
the government honestly and economic
illy administered. We denounce as dis
turbing to business the republican threat
to restore the McKlnley law, which has
jeen twice condemned by the people in
latlpnal elections, and which, enacted un
to -the false plea of protection to home
ndustry, proved a prolific breeder of
arusts and monopolies, enriched the few
it the expense of the many, restricted
rade and deprived the producers of the
treat American staples of access to their
istural markets, until tbe money ques
lon Is settled we are opposed to any agi
atlon for further changes In our tariff
aws, except such as are necessary to meet
As deficit In revenue caused by the ad-
OiAUutn nf BiinrMma nntiv*
tne income tax.. xnere WOUML tut cwnplt
In tne revenue but for the annulment by
the supreme coert Of a law passed by a
democratic congress In atrlot pursuance of
the uniform decisions of that court for
nearly 100 years, that court having sus
tained constitutional objections to Its en
actment, which has been overruled by the
ablest judges who had ever sat on that
bench. We declare that It Is the duty of
congress to use all the constitutional pow
er which remains after that decision, or
which may come from Its reversal by the
court as It may hereafter be constituted,
so that the burdens of taxation may bj
equally and Impartially laid, to the end
that wealth may bear Its proportion of tne
expenses of the government.
Pauper Labor Flank,
"We hold that the most efficient way of
6le
rotectlng American labor Is to prevent
Importation of foreign pauper labor to
{compete with It In the home market, and
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 tneir prod
ucts below the cost of production and
thus deprives them of the means of pur
chasing the products of our home manu
fuctories, and as labor creates the wealth
of the country, we demand the passage of
such laws as may be necessary to proteot
it In all Its rights.
"We are In favor of the arbitration of
differences between employers engaged In
Interstate commerce and their employes,
and recommend such legislation as Is neo
essary to carry out this principle.
Restraint on KaUroad Corporations.
"The absorption of wealth by the few,
the consolidation of our leading railroad
systems, and the formation of trusts ana
pools require a stricter control by the fed
eral government of those arteries of com
merce. We demand the enlargement of
the powers of the Interstate commerco
commission and such restrictions and guar
antees In the control of railroads as will
protect the people from robbery and op
pression.
Republican Congresses.
"We denounce the profligate waste of the
money wrung from the people by oppressive
taxation and the lavish appropriations ol
recent republican congresses, which hav«
kept taxes high while the labor that pays
them Is unemployed and the products of the
people's toll are depressed In price till they
no longer repay the cost of production. We
demand a return to that simplicity and
economy which beBt befits a democratic
government and a reduction In the number
of useless officers, the salaries of which
drain the substance of the people.
Federal Interference.
"We denounce the arbitrary Interference
by federal authorities In local affairs as a
violation of the constitution of the United
States and a crime against free Institu
tions, and we especially object to govern
ment by Injunction as a new and highly
dangerous form of oppression by which
federal Judges. In contempt of the laws of
tne scares anu ngnis citizens, oecome
at once legislators, judges and execution
ers and we approve the bill passed at the
last session of the United States senate and
now pending In the house relative to con
tempts in federal courts and providing for
triara by Jury in certain cases of contempt
Admission of Territories.
"We favor the admission of the terri
tories of New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa Into the union as states and we favor
the early admission of all the territories
having the necessary population and re
source to entitle them to Btatehood, and
while they remain territories we hold that
the officials appointed to administer the
government of any territory, together with
the District of Columbia and Alaska,
should be bona fide residents of the terri
tory or district In which the duties are to
be performed. The democratic party be-
l4*vves
in homfl ,ril]p and
that mil «„wi-
lands or tne urlirea states shoula oe ap
propriated to the establishment of free
homes for American citizens.
"We recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted a delegate In congress,
and that the general land and timber laws
of the United States be extended to said
territory.
Faciflo Funding Ulll.
"No discrimination should be Indulged
In by the government of the United States
In favor of its debtors. We approve of the
refusal of the Fifty-third congress to paBS
the Pacific railroad funding bill denounce
the effort of the present republican con
gress to enact a similar measure.
Pensions.
"Recognizing the Just claims of deserv
ing union soldiers, we heartily indorse the
rule of Commissioner Murphy that no
names shall be arbitrarily dropped from
the pension roll, and the fact of enlist
ment and service should be deemed con
clusive evidence against disease and dis
ability before enlistment.
The Monroe Doctrine.
"The Monroe doctrine as originally de
clared and as interpreted by succeeding
presidents, Is a permanent part of the
foreign policy cf the United States, and
must at all times be maintained.
Sympathy for tuba.
"We extend our sympathy to the people
of Cuba In their heroic struggle for liberty
and independence.
Civil Service.
"We are opposed to life tenure in the
SaseJ
ubllc service. We favor appointments
upon merits, fixed terms of office,
and such an administration of the civil
service laws as will afford equal oppor
tunities to all citizens of ascertained fit
ness.
Against Third Xorm.
"We declare It to be the unwritten law
of this republic, established by custom and
usage of WO years ami sanctioned by the
examples of the greatest and vlsest of
those who founded and linve ma.Mtainc-d
our government, that no man sh'iild be
eligible for a third term of the presidential
office.
Waterways Improvement.
"The federal government should care for
and improve tne Mississippi river and other
great waterways of the republic, so as to
secure for the interior states easy and
cheap transportation to tide water. When
any waterway of tiie republic is of suffi
cient importance to demand aid of the gov
ernment, such aid should be extended upon
a delinite plan of continuous work until
permanent improvement is secured.
"Confiding in tlie Justice of our cause and
the necessity of Its success at the polls we
submit the foregoing ded: .". lon of prin
ciple and purposes to the considerate Judg
ment of the American people. We Invite
the support of all citiz- ns who approve
them and who debire to have them made
effective through legislation for the relief
of the people and the restoration of the
country's orosnerity."
The Meat of the Argument
Camp Silver, August 10, 1896.
Messrs. PliiJ. Armour & Co., Chicago,
111.
Friend Phil:—Your offer of SO cents
worth of meat and a Mexican dollar
in exchange for an American dollar
received, but I can do better with our
home butcher. He offers 50 cents
worth of meat and $3 worth of Por
tugese 3 per cent gold bonds in ex
change for a silver dollar.
Our butcher says the bonds must
be good as Portugal lias been on a
gold standard since 1853 (twenty
years before the enlightened nations
of Europe) and its national debt has
only increased 100 per cent since that
date. Avarage wages paid all ar
tisans in Portugal is 17 cents per daj.
In your former letter you told me
that all we needed was a little gold,
improved '"banking facilities" and
"confidence."
Portugal has a "little gold" the
world has had its "improved banking
facilities since 1853, and I can supply
the "confidence," so the bonds are
certainly good.
Our home butcher says he will co
tinue to give 50 cents worth of meat
and a Mexican dollar in exchange for
an American silver dollar after Bryan
is elected? Yours truly,
John Fairplay.
P. 8. I see the London Times
quotes Mexican bonds at 94$ Portu
gese 3 per cent gold bonds at 2G£.

IVES TAKES A HARD,
The President of the B. C- E. & IT,
Ry- Tries Intimidation-
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 27.- -Tills city is
in a state of intense political excite
ment due to a circular mailed to each
employe with his pay check by Presi
dent Ives of the B. C. R. & N, rail
way. The republicans are indignant
and the free silver committee are hav
ing the circular printed by thousands
to send out to the farmers. The cir
cular is as follows:
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern Railway. Office of the President.
—To the employes of the B. U. R. &
N. Ry.—Is not this money good
enough for you?
Why should any man, and especial
ly a railroad man, want money which
will purchase bat half as much as
this.
The amount paid you in 1895 was
$1,617,110.39. One million, six hun
dred and seventeen thousand, one
hundred and nineteen dollars and
thirty-nine cents.
If the doctrines of the silver party
are true, the products of the farm are
to bring a higher price.
Do you wish to vote to increase the
price of the sack of flour or the meat
that you buy? If this doctrine is true
all articles brought from foreign
countries Will be doubled in price,
such as coffee, tea and sugar. Do
you wish to pay more?
The rates of freight and for pas
sengers on railways are flxec by law
and cannot be raised. The railway
company must pay you in the money
it receives and cannot pay you more
than now, for the reason that it will
receive no more than now, notwith
standing the fact that it will be only
half as good.
If Mr. Bryan is our next president
the money of the country will be
silver or silver notes on a silver basis.
This railway company has to pay the
interest on its bonds in gold, $811,000
and it has to pay a premium to get
it and thereby the interest account is
increased, there will be no way to
meet it except by reducing expenses
and while the pay may not be reduc
ed the number of men employed must
be reduccd. Do you wish to take the
chance of its being you who will bo
out of a place? Yours truly,
C. J. IVES.
LABORER! Do you know that
when the farmer (producer) is pros
perous the laborer is prosperous also?
Do you know that when the
farmers or producers suffer the la
borer and all other industries suffer?
Do you know that you neyer saw a
tramp in this country during the free
coinage period from 1792 to 1873?
Are you going to be slaves aud al
low any corporation to dictate to
you how to vote?
FARMERS! Are you going to vote
in the interest of England, Wall
street and the millionaires for their
gold and for low prices for their pro
duce? Don't every gold bug paper
and republican orator from John
Sherman down, admit that produce
will be higher with free silver?
Do you know that the cry of a fifty
cent dollar" is all rot?
Do you know that we had free
coinage of gold and silver iu this
country lor more than eighty years
and during that time a silver dollar
was worth as much as a gold dollar
in any market of the world?
Do you know that John Sherman
in his opening campaign speech said
that the best dollar was the one that
would purchase the most food.
Do you know that Wm. J. Bryan
stands for free coinage of both gold
and silver same as we had previous
to 1873?
Are you going to vote for the re
publican party and gold standard
and lower the price of your products?
Do you know that the one thing
that will bring prosperity to this
country is more money?
Do you know that you cannot bring
prosperity to a nation by increasing
their taxes by additional tarriff or
any other mode of taxation?
B. A. PLUMMER.
There runs through the whole of
President Ives' letter a subtle intimi
dation. For such wo give below the
statutory law of Iowa:
"Any person* or corporation who
shall refuse to an employe the privi
lege hereby inferred, or shall subject
an employe to a penalty or deduction
of wages because of the exercise of
suoh privilege, or who shall iu any
manner attempt to influence or con
trol such voter as to how he shall
vote, by offering any reward or by
threatening his discharge from em
ployment, or otherwise intimidating
him from a full and free exercise of
his right to vote, or shall directly or
indirectly, violate the provisions of
this section, shall be guilty of a mis
demeanor and be fined in any sum
not less than five dollars or more
than one hundred dollars."
An advance of 25 cents a ton on an
thracite coal will soon be made. The
price will then exceed the price of a
year ago by $1.50 a ton. On the an
nual production of 40,000,000 tons this
means a tax of $00,000,000 a year on
the consumers of coal,—Tribune.
It must be interesting to the con
sumers of coal, that the "coal trust" is
able to show an advance in the price
of that commodity.There ought to be
sufficient advance in the price of farm
products to meet it but with the gold
standard and McKiuley there won't
be.
Tlie gold dollar is not a commodity
having au intrinsic value, but money
having only a statutory value. Every
dollar has the same value without re
gard to the material.—Iowa Reports,
10,240.
Rapid Progress ol Japan.
It is the-opinion of Robert P.
Porter that when the empire of Japan
adds to the awakened energy and
genius of its people the multiplying
power of modern machinery, it will
advance beyond its present position
as a formidable competitor for the
trade of Eastern Asia and become a
serious factor in the industrial rivalry
of the nations of Europe and America.
This change is going on rapidly and
Mr. Porter, in an article in the North
American Review for August, main
tains that it is not a bugaboo of
American politicians and labor
leaders, but a fact to tie seriously
considered in legislative policy.
In ten years Japan has increased
her exportation of matches from $60
000 to $5,000,000 a year of umbrellas
from $1,765 to $750,000 of floor mat
ting from $935 to $3,461,369. Sakaye
cotton and hemp rugs are finding
equal favor in the export trade and
summer silks are produced so cheap
ly as to drive the American manu
facturer out"of the market, notwith
standing the'payment of duties. No
country but Japan can'now seriously
compete in the production of silk
handkerchiefs, of which her sales are
100,000,000. The cheaper grade of
tooth brushes can be wholesaled in
Japan for $1.50 per gross, or but a
trifle over a cent apiece, while for $8
per gross or less than 6 cents apiece
the Japanese sell tooth brushes re
tailed in America for 40 to 50 cents
each. The foreigu trade of Japan in
textiles of all kinds has increased
from $511,990 in 1885 to 22,177,026 in
1895 raw silk from $14,473,396 to $50,
928,440 metal goods from $2,112,997
to $6,538,220 drugs from $1,089,513 to
$3,078,357 straw braids from zero to
$1,387,643 porcelain and sundries
from $2,786,876 to $11,624,701.
The civilization which produces
such a variety of articles on a com
mercial scale is entitled to respect
and the industrial impulse which
prompts such collossal changes is in
no danger of ebbing before it in
cludes still other industries. Woolen
and worsted goods and many other
lines of manufacturing are sure to be
taken up, with effects on the world's
prices and wage schedules only to
easy to foresee.
Mr. Porter is one of those who ad
vocate the highest protective duties
as the proper policy to exclude such
goods from our markets but th:sstop
gap can only be temporary in its ef
fects. Our industries have reached
the stage where a foreign market is
required, and when our goods reach
other countries, they must compete
with those of Japanese production.
Meanwhile so long as wages in this
country are above the European
leyel, the importation of laborers will
continue. The result will ultimately
be the reduction of Am« rican wages to
the European standard, and that, too
as lowered by oriental competition.
That is the tendency now ruling the
industrial world and protective
duties can only retard not abolish it.
The superior intelligence and ca
pacity of the American workingman
is the only remedy and we are not
providing industrial training schools
on a scale to maintain that advan
tage.
It is possible however, that the
newly awakened activity of Japan
will not be wholly a force for the re
duction of prices and wages. The
mikado's empire may have labor or
ganization and a determination on
the part of her workingmen to work
shorter hours and receive a larger re
ward. This would greatly modify
the resultant changes in the world's
industries caused by the Japanese
renaissance.—Des Moines News.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
beiug a -constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hull's Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upou the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and givina the patient,
strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials. Address,

Cole's Veterinary Carbolisave. It
cures Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, Collar
and Saddle Galls, Sores, Mange,
Scratches, Thrush, Inflammations
and all skin and hoof diseases nuioker
than any other remedy. It is the on

renew the hair to its original color.
Edwin D. Bither, driver of Jay Eye

Carbolisave a thorough trial, I ean
fully endorse it, and take pleasure in
recommending it to all owners of

A word to souud money news
papers Let's stop for a time assert

on the other, that free silver means a
53 cent dollar. These two' proposi
tions do not seem to dovetail into
eaoh other.—Des Moines Leader,
