The object is to make each child as nearly self-supporting as practicable, and to approach as near as possible the movements or actions of normal people. It further aims to provide a home for those who are not susceptible of mental culture, relying wholly upon others to supply their simple wants. During the year 1896 the main building of this institution was burned, incurring a loss of more than $125,000. The executive council under the provisions of section 120 of the Code, made pro- visions for the immediate enclosure of a part of this building for temporary use, by appropriating for that purpose $40,000, and the work of reconstruction has steadily progressed, until with the hastily completed room in the new building, the children are all fairly well provided for. Upon the special session of the legislature (January 19, 1897), will devolve the necessity of completing the work by additional appropriation. 23 IOWA OFFICIAL KEGISTEil

There is in connection with this institution a school building, pleasant, commodious and well lighted, and it is the policy of the board to have the course of instruction of the highest standard. A kindergarten is operated in connection for the very young pupils. A library of well-selected juvenile literature is a source of pleasure and profitable entertainment to the children, as from necessity the pastimes and pleasures of the children are other- wise somewhat circumscribed; we feel that they should be well supplied with good books, and reading matter of suitable char- acter for their improvement and enjoyment. It is the aim to provide the children with plenty of good com- fortable clothing, and to have them taught to take good care of the same. Their clothing is all manufactured at the home, the large girls assisting in its manufacture. The table is supplied with a good variety of plain, wholesome Jood, and a reasonable amount of luxuries, and when the funds of the different appro- priations fail the support fund has to make up the deficiency, which necessarily causes a reduction of the luxuries from the table that are so much enjoyed by the children.

IOWA STATE LIBRARY AND ASSOCIATE AND TRAVELING LIBRARIES.

The beginning of the Iowa State Library is traced to the Act of Congress which provided for a territorial government, June 12, 1838, and appropriated $5,000 for the purchase of books. Gov. Robert Lucas made* the first purchase at Cincinnati, Ohio. The Act providing for the appointment of a State Librarian and Trustees was approved April 23, 1872, when the law and miscel- laneous department aggregated 14,500 volumes. Since that period the growth and development has been grad- ual but continued. By the Act of 1884 $6,000 was appropriated for special collections and needed books, and several special appro- priations have since been liberally made by the Legislature. The Library was removed to its present spacious department in 1884, since which time it has increased rapidly until now there are 51,707 volumes upon the shelves, and it takes a high rank among the State Libraries. The Act of April8,1896 provided for the adoption of the Travel- ing Library system, and added an Associate Library department, to be administered by the State Librarian, under the rules and 60 IOWA OFFICIAL KEGISTER. provisions prescribed by the Trustees, for the inauguration of which the sum of $4,000 was appropriated. The Library is supported by an annual appropriation of $5,000 (Act of 1894). The books are purchased and selected by the Trustees who have full power to make such rules and regulations as they may deem proper.

IOWA AT THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. The commission appointed to look after the state's interests at the great Columbian Exposition in 1893 made a printed report of their transactions. In this report each department or exhibit, and the part it occupied at Chicago, is clearly shown, but it was not until the past year that the result and findings by the National Columbian committee was made known and the awards actually received by the state Iowa earned and received four bronze medals and as many diplomas, the awards being made upon agricultural, horticultural and mining exhibits. A facsimile of the medals is clearly shown upon another page of the Register and the originals may be seen in the State Historical department in their rooms at the capitol.

REPUBLICAN PARTY, 1896.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, WILLIAM McKINLEY, Of Ohio. For Vice-President, GARRET A. HOB ART, # Of New Jersey.

National Convention, St. Louis, June 16, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS, of Indiana. Permanent Chairman.—HON. JOHN M. THURSTON, of Ne- braska. PLATFORM. The Republicans of the United States, assembled by their rep-, resentatives in national convention, appealing for the popular and historical justification of their claims to the matchless achieve- ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened intelligence, experience and conscience of their countrymen in the following declaration of facts and principles: Effects of Democratic Control.—-For the first time since the civil war the American people have witnessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestricted Democratic control of the government, It has been a record of unparalleled incapacity, dis- honor and disaster. In administrative management it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by $262,000,000 in time of peace, forced an adverse bal- ance of trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption 112 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates, and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted indus- try and trade with prolonged depression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crippled American pro- duction while stimulating foreign ^production for the American market. Administration of President Harrison.— Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown them- selves incapable to conduct it without disaster at home and dis- honor abroad, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty years administered it with unequaled success and prosperity, and in this connection we heartily endorse the wisdom, the patriotism, and the success of the administration of President Harrison, Protection.—We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American industrial inde- pendence and the foundation of American development and pros- perity. This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages home industry; it puts the burden of revenue on for- eign goods; it secures the American market for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingman; it puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift, and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In its reasonable applica- tion it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign con- trol and domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimination and indi- vidual favoritism. The Wilson Law.—We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional, injurious to the public credit, and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such ah equitable tariff on for- eign imports which come into competition with American prod- ucts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a practical question, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of production; the ruling and uncompromising principle ig the protection and development of American labor ^_ IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 113 and industry. The country demands a right settlement and then it wants rest. ^7 Reciprocity.—-We believe the repeal of the reciprocity arrange- ments negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of American products in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce; free admission for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agreements of mutual inter- ests which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade, and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity builds up for- eign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Production of Sugar.—We condemn the present administration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of thi3 country. The Republican party favors such protection as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens.—To all our products—to those of the mine and the field as well as to those of the shop and the factory—to hemp, to wool, the product of the great industry of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill—we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine.—"We favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating duties for the upbuilding of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping in the foreign-carrying trade, so that American ships—the product of American labor, employed in American shipyards, sailing under the stars and stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans—may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. National Currency and Credit.—The Republican partjr is unre- servedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. 8 114 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. -

We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except by inter- national agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved. ^ All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth. Pensions —The veterans of the Union army deserve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference in the matter of employment, and they are entitled to the enactment of such laws as are best calculated to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of the bountry's peril. We denounce thepractice in the pension bureau, so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserv- ing the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations.—Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our interests in the western hemisphere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian islands should be controlled by the United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them. The Nicaraguan canal should be built, owned and operated by the United States; and by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station in the West Indies. Armenian Massacres —The massacres in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just indignation of the American people and we believe that the United States should exercise all the influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey American residents have been ~ exposed to the gravest dangers, and American property destroyed. There and every- where American citizens and American property must be abso- lutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 115

Monroe Doctrine.—'We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its full extent, and we reaffirm the right of the United States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly intervention in case of European encroachment. We have not interfered and shall not interfere with the existing pos- sessions of any European power in this hemisphere, but those pos- sessions must not on any pretext be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and to the ultimate union of all the English-speaking part of the continent by the free con* sent of its inhabitants. Cuba.—From the hour of achieving their own independence, the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy tha struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domination. We watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppres- sion, and-our best hopes go out to the full success of their deter- mined contest for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba, and being UQable to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens, or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its influ- ence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the island. - The Navy.-—The peace and security of the republic, and the maintenance of its rightful influence among the nations of* the earth, demand a naval power commensurate with its position and responsibility. We, therefore, favor the continued enlargement of the navy and a complete system of harbor and sea-coast defenses. > t> - ~ * Foreign Immigration.—For the protection of the equality of our American citizenship and of the wages of our workingmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, * we demand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extended as to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write. - * Civil Service.—The civil service law was placed on* the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforcedand extended wherever practicable. 116 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

Free Ballot and Honest Count.—We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unre- stricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast. Lynchivgs.—We proclaim our unqualified condemnation of the uncivilized and barbarous practice well known as lynching, or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without process of law. National Board of Arbitration.—We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and adjust differences which ' may arise between employers and employed engaged in inter-state commerce. Free Homesteads.—We believe in an immediate return to the free homestead policy of the Republican party, and urge the pass- age by Congress of the satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed the House and is now pending in the Senate. Territories.—We favor the admission of the remaining territor- ies at the earliest practical date, having due regard to the inter- ests of the people of the territories and of the United States. All the federal officers appointed for the territories should be elected from bona fide residents thereof, and the right of self-government should be accorded as far as practicable. Alaska.—We believe the citizens of Alaska should have repre- sentation in the Congress of the United States, to the end that needful legislation may be intelligently enacted. Temperance.—We sympathize with all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of intemperance and pro- mote morality. Rights of Women,—The Republican party is mindful of the rights and interests of women. Protection of American industries include equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and pro- tection to the home. We favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation in rescuing the country from Democratic and Populistic mismanagement and misrule. Conclusion.—Such are the principles and policies of the Repub- lican party. By these principles we will abide and these policies we will put into execution. We ask for them the considerate judgment of the American people. Confident alike in the history of our great party and in the justice of our cause, we present our IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 117 platform and our candidates in the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosperity to the people of the United States.

The state convention to nominate delegates to attend the national convention at St. Louis and present the name of Hon. William B. Allison for nomination as the Republican candidate for President; met at Des Moines, Iowa, March 11, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—Jonathan P. Dolliver, Ft. Dodge. Permanent Chairman.—A. B. Cummins, Des Moines. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. We, the representatives of the Republican party of Iowa, voicing the unanimous will and enthusiastic purpose of the Republicans of the state, herewith formally present to the Republicans of the nation the Hon. William B. Allison, United States Senator from Iowa, as a fitting candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. The Republicans of Iowa, in their fealty to Republican principles, and with a profound sense of their obligations to the people of the nation to do only what seems best to bring back to the prostrated interests of the nation the health- giving tonic of Republican policy, presents William Allison in a spirit far above any considerations of state pride. For many years there has been a universal feeling among the people of Iowa IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. H9 that Senator Allison is conspicuously fitted for the. position of President of the Republic, and this sentiment has spread widely over the nation. So that we present his name to-day in no sense of personal compliment to him, in no spirit of local pride, but in the profound conviction that we are fulfilling a duty to the party and a duty to the nation. We believe that Senator Allison represents, as well as any man in the nation, the competency of the Republican party to deal honestly, wisely and successfully with all the interests of the country. For a third of a century the Republican party has solved the most difficult problems and mastered the greatest difficulties in government that it is possible for a party to encounter. Its rule was grandly beneficent, and the growth and prosperity of the nation under it was marvelous. Since the Democratic party replaced it in control, the record has been one of unprecedented mismanagement and dismal dis- aster. It is this contrast between Republican competency and Democratic incompetency that will carry the Republican party back to power. The strength of its cause will rest, not upon one issue, but upon its demonstrated ability to meet all issues firmly, wisely and successfully. • Senator Allison has been a conspicuous figure in this beneficent work of the party throughout its whole existence. No other man in the nation more emphatically represents the constructive and resourceful capacity of the party to meet, in a practical and suc- cessful way, the difficult problems of administration. For thirty- one years he has had a moulding hand in all the important laws upon the nation's statute book. Throughout this long period he has been a prominent and indefatigable laborer in all the difficult problems connected with the war and the means of sustaining it; reconstruction, and the harmonizing of the sections; the abolition of slavery, and the overthrow of polygamy; the enfranchisement, education and upbuilding of the negro, supplementing in this the work which he early did in his own state; the raising of revenue to sustain the government, pay pensions, and discharge.thousands of millions of the public debt; the creation of our financial system, and the return to specie payment; the creation of a_ sound cur- rency; the upbuilding of agencies for the development of the west; the reform of the civil service; the national control of railroads; the upbuilding of American industries; the protection of dairy and 120 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

agricultural products; the prevention of Chinese and pauper and criminal immigration; and the creation bf a pension list unequaled in the gratitude of nations. If the dominant issue of this contest is to be the tariff, then no man better represents it, for no man has been oftener placed in the leadership in the formation of Kepublican tariff than Senator Allison. For thirty-one years he has been among the foremost in their construction and discussion, and always upon the line of that fair and sufficient protection that is the strength of the party policy. He was chairman of the sub-committee that, after many months of investigation, drafted the administrative provisions of the customs laws, accepted under all tariff bills since constructed as most efficient in their operation. He was chairman of the senate committee that drafted .the senate substitute for the Demo- cratic bill of 1888, which substitute was largely the basis of the Republican tariff of 1890. He had the senate leadership again in the perfection of the last Republican tariff, where it received many of its important provisions, notably that of reciprocity. He was again selected by the senate Republicans to lead the discussion and assault upon the free trade Wilson bill, and his skill and influ- ence operated largely in saving whatever measure of protection American industries secured under that law. His arraignment* of * that law was a protest and a prophecy, "I state here," he said, " without fear of successful contradic- tion, that, with few exceptions, there is not an industry or occu- pation in the United States that will not be greatly injured, if not paralyzed, by this bill. With these exceptions it would seem that none of our great interests can survive; certainly none can have a healthy existence." We challenge a parallel in the record of any living statesman to the masterful work done by Senator Allison for many years in the line of that fair and beneficent protection that has built up the industries of the nation, given employment and good wages to the workingman, laid no appreciable burden upon the consumer, furnished abundant revenue for the needs of the government and payment of the public debt, and which is at once the pride and the strength of the party. If the dominant issue is to be finance, then no man in the nation has so great a reputation for financial resourcefulness and con- structiveness and soundness, a fact conspicuously recognized by the pressure of Presidents Garfield and Harrison upon him to take IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 121 the portfolio of the treasury in their respective administrations. He has been favorable to a true bimetallism. He has at all times labored to maintain an abundant currency of gold, silver and pg,per, made interconvertible, and equal to the best currency of the commercial world. He has demanded for the business of the nation a currency equitable and stated, free from the oscilla- tions so dangerous to business interests and so unjust to the wage earners of the nation, whose -$3,000,000,000 of annual wages, and many thousand millions of credits in savings banks and other forms, constitute them the great creditor class of the nation. If the foreign policy of the nation is to be the issue, Senator Allison has held rigidly to the teachings of Washington and the teachings of Monroe—opposing all entangling alliances with other countries, assaulting no established rights of nations upon this continent, but firmly insisting that the political system of Europe shall not be enlarged and extended in this hemisphere, menacing alike the integrity of the United States and the Republican gov- ernment of the continent. If experience and familiarity with every detail of governmental business is to be the test, Senator Allison has thirty-two years of intimate knowledge and experience, gained as a member of the great committees in Congress, to emphasize his eminent fitness. Strong in every mental, moral and personal quality; strong in his industry and capacity to labor; strong in his firmness and conscientiousness of opinion; strong in his freedom from extremes and sensationalism; strong in a long record^of unerring judgment as to public measures; strong in his universal reputation lor con- servativism and soundness and safety, the Republicans of Iowa present him to the party and the nation as the ideal candidate.

The state convention to nominate' candidates for state offices met at Des Moines, July 15, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—W. P. HEPBURN, Clarinda. Permanent Chairman.—SMITH MCPHERSON, Red Oak. PLATFORM ADOPTED. The Republicans of Iowa, assembled in convention, mindful of their duty in the eventful contest already begun, proud of their past and confident of their future, submit to the people of the state the principles which they deem essential to the welfare of the country. 122 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

We heartily approve the platform of the party announced by the National Republican convention recently held in St Louis, and we pledge our fellow Republicans throughout the United States to carry all its declarations to triumphant success in the coming election. We heartily endorse the candidates of that convention, and we hasten to assure our sister states that Iowa, speaking through a magnificent majority, will cast her electoral vote for William McKinley and Garret A. Hobart. We recognize the revolutionary character of the convention lately held in Chicago. We appreciate the dangers of its start- ling doctrines and the immeasurable disasters that would follow their adoption by the government. We have seen the ruin accom- plished by the free trade declaration of 1892, and we have now heard a demand that the ruin shall be made complete by the over- throw of our financial system and the substitution of an experi- ment that can result only in untold misery and incalculable loss. We believe that every possible fluctuation of money stand- ards between the Iowa producer and his consumer is a margin between them. If it is not an advantage to have a common stand- ard with his customer abroad, then it is no advantage to have a common standard with the other communities of this Union. In the interest of our export trade, for the furtherance of the policy of reciprocity, and for the promotion of our commerce, as well as for the benefit of our silver producers, we pledge the sup- port of the Iowa representatives in Congress to the promotion of an international agreement to establish the joint standard uni- versally; and from the same considerations to oppose the proposi- tion to carry the United States to silver monometallism. We are opposed to the change to a single silver standard because it will decrease and not increase the supply of money in the country; because, instead of restoring confidence, it will destroy credits; instead of inspiring enterprise, it will spread alarm; instead of aiding the debtor, it will involve him in bank- ruptcy; instead of furnishing employment to labor, it will make more uncertain and unremunerative that which it has; instead of benefiting the producers, it will injure them; and finally, because it would do infinite injustice and involve our country in repudi- ation and dishonor. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 123

•-> We denounce as false the statement of the Democratic^party that we have contracted or that our policy will contract the vol- ume of our currency; on the contrary, we assert that the principle we advocate is the only principle that will give to the country the money, stable in its purchasing power, and adequate in amount, which the prosperity of the people demands. The Republican party under its policy assures the people an ample currency, composed of gold, silver and paper, no one kind preferable to another, none of it subject in the hands of the people to variation of value, but every dollar as good as gold and there held by the real power of the government of the United States. _ We stand upon the record which the Republican party has made. We recall the prophecies of our antagonists in Iowa in 1878 that specie payments would ruin our estate, and we point to the period of never-equaled prosperity which ensued from 1880 to 1892, with every dollar of our currency kept at a gold standard without the sale of a bond or a whisper against our credit. We especially reaffirm our faith in the doctrine of protection to American-labor, and the policy which is part of it, the pro- motion of our foreign trade by reciprocal agreements. Under this consistent and practical policy the development of our limit- less resources will be resumed, enterprise will spring into action at a million opportunities, capital will go out seeking for the wage earner, and when the table of the working man is again covered with plenty the American farmer will know good times once more. We hold that the prices of our farm products can be restored only by the recovery of the markets to which we had access four years ago, and through the return to our home con- sumers of the buying power which was theirs four years ago. The Iowa farmer needs no other conditions to assure his prosperity than those which maintained the level of his prices, increased the value of his farm, and reduced the cost of his purchases during the four splendid years of President Harrison's administration. By the restoration of these conditions, by maintaining the sta- bility of our money, and not by debasing its value, the Republican party promises him relief. The abandonment of the treaties of reciprocity,* which had opened the market places of Spanish America and central Europe to the farm products of the United States, has already resulted in the almost total exclusion of our 124 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER/ breadstuffs and meats from the countries affected by the reciprocal agreements of 1891. Thus tariff reform, as managed by the Fifty-third Congress, instead of opening new markets for the farm, closed foreign markets to us and stimulated production by our competitors, at the same time causing an unexampled pros- tration of its nearest and best customers, the wage earners of our own land. The Republican party appeals with confidence to the people of Iowa to support it in its purpose to establish industries and all of the varied interests of production and exchange upon a stable and certain basis, that the genius and energy of this great people may be free to work out the national prosperity, as they did in the marvelous decade following 1880. >

DEMOCRATIC PARTY, 1896.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, WILLIAM J. BRYAN, Of Nebraska. For Vice-President, ARTHUR SEWALL, Of Maine.

National Convention, Chicago, July 7, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—HON. JOHN W. DANIEL, Virginia. Permanent Chairman.—HON. STEPHEN M. WHITE, California. PLATFORM:. We, the Democrats of the United States in national convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our institutions are founded and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson's time to our own—freedom of speech, freedom of press, IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 125

freedom of conscience, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law and the faithful observance of.constitutional limitations. yv State Rights.—During all these years the Democratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish interest toward the centralization of governmental power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of government established by the founders of this Republic of republics. Under its guidance and teachings the great principle of local self-government has found its best expres- sion in the maintenance of the rights of the states and in its asser- tion of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of powers granted by the Constitution of the United States. Civil and Religious Liberty.—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 obliga- tions and reaffirms its devotion to these fundamental principles of the Constitution. The Money Question.—Recognizing that the money question is paramount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States, and that the first coin- age law passed by Congress under the Constitution made the silver dollar the monetary unit and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver dollar unjt. We declare that the act of 1873, demonetizing silver without the knowledge or approval of the American people, has resulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices , of commodities produced by the people; a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts, public and private; the enrich- ment of the money-lending class at home and abroad, the prostra- tion of industry and the impoverishment of the people. We are unalterably opposed to monometallism, which has locked fast the prosperity of an industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold monometallism is a British policy, and its adoption has brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American but anti-American, and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political independence in 1776, and won it in the War of the Revolution. 126 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

Free Silver.—We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We demand, that the standard silver dollar shallbe a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legis- lation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal-tender money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by law to the Government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or gold coin. Opposed to Bond Issues.—We are opposed to the issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of peace, and condemn the trafficking with banking syndicates which, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the Federal Treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism.v - Against National Banks.—Congress alone has tHe power to coin and issue money, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to corporations or individuals. We, there- fore, denounce the issuance of notes intended to circulate as money by national banks 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 duties to the United States, shall be issued by the Government of the United States and shall be redeemable in coin. Tariff and Income Tax.—We hold that the tariff duties should be levied for purposes of revenue, such duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the country and not discriminate between Class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the Government, honestly and economically admin- istered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican, threat to restore the McKinley. law, which has twice been con- demned by the people in national elections, and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home industry, proved a pro- lific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets. Income Tax.—Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for further changes in our tariff laws. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 127 except such as are necessary to meet the deficit in revenue caused by the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. But for this decision by the Supreme Court there would be no deficit in the revenue under the law passed by a Democratic Con- gress in strict pursuance of the uniform decisions of that court for nearly 100 years, that court having in that decision sustained con- stitutional objections to its enactment which had previously been overruled by the ablest judges who have ever sat on that bench. We declare that it is the duty of Congress to use all the constitu- tional powers which remain after that decision, or which may come from its reversal by the court as, it may hereafter be con- stituted, so that the burden of taxation may be equally and impar- tially laid, to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of the expenses of the Government. Protection of American Labor.—We hold that the most effi- cient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importa- tion 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 their product below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of the means of purchasing the products of our home manufactories; and as labor creates the wealth of the country, we demand the passage of such laws as may be necessary to protect 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 necessary to carry out this principle. Cdrporate Wealth.—The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading railway systems and the formation of trusts and pools require a stricter control by the Federal Govern- ment of those arteries of commerce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission; and such restrictions and guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppression. Congressional Appropriations.—We denounce the profligate waste of money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation and the lavish appropriations of recent Republican Congresses, which have kept baxes high while the labor that pays them is unemployed, 128 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. r and the products of the people's toil are depressed in price till they no longer repay the cost of production. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a Democratic Government, and a reduction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the people. Federal Interference in Local Affairs.—We denounce arbitrary interference by federal authorities in local affairs as a violation of the Constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions, and we especially object to government by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression, by which fed- eral judges in contempt of the laws of the state and rights of citi- zens become at once legislators, judges and executioners, and we approve the bill passed at the last session of the United States Senate and now pending in the House of Representatives relative to contempts in federal courts, and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. Pacific Funding Bill.—No discrimination should be indulged by the government of the United States in favor of any of its debtors. We approve of the refusal of the Fifty-third Congress to pass the Pacific railroad funding bill, and denounce the efforts of the present Republican congress to enact similar measures. Pension Rule Indorsed.—Recognizing the just claims of deserv- ing Union soldiers, we heartily indorse the rule of the present Commissioner of Pensions, thatjio name shall be arbitrarily dropped from the pension roll, and the fact of enlistment and serv- ice should be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and dis- ability before enlistment. Admission of Territories.—We favor the admission of the terri- tories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma into the Union as states, and we favor the early admission of all the territories hav- ing the necessary population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain territories we hold that tlie officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The Democratic party believes in home rule, and that all public lands of the United States should be appropriated to the establishment of free homes for American citizens. o o

We recommend that the territory of Alaska be granted a dele- gate in Congress, and that the general land and timber laws of the United States be extended to said territory. Monroe Doctrine.— The Monroe doctrine, as originally declared and as interpreted by our succeeding Presidents, is a permanent part of the foreign policy of the United States, and must at all times be maintained. Sympathy for Cubans.—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 public service, except as provided in the Constitution. We favor appointments based 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 fitness. Third Term Condemned.—We declare it to be the unwritten law of this Republic, established by custom and usage of 100 years and sanctioned by the examples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our Government, that no man should be eligible for a third term of the Presidential office. Improvements of Waterways.—The Federal Government should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great water- ways of the Republic, so as to secure for the interior states easy and cheap transportation to tide water. Whenever any waterway of the Republic is of sufficient importance to demand aid of the Government, such aid should be extended upon a definite plan of continuous work until a permanent improvement is secured. Conclusion.—Confiding in the justice of our cause and the neces- sity of its success at the polls, we submit the foregoing declaration of principles and purposes to the considerate judgment 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 of the people and the restoration of the country's prosperity. 130 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The Democracy of Iowa in convention assembled hereby reaf- firms its allegiance to the time-honored Democratic doctrine of bimetallism, to the use of both gold and silver as primary money, and the coinage of both at a ratio without charge or limit. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage. In the judgment of this convention the explicit pledge of the National Democratic party, if fairly and honorably kept, requires the constant effort of every loyal Democrat to accomplish the repeal of all laws here- tofore enacted through the instrumentality of the Republican party which do in letter and spirit alike discriminate against silver and in favor of gold, and the substitution thereof of affirmative legislation which shall upon some terms or other restore silver to equal rights with gold in the mints and coinage of the country. Seeond.—We hereby affirm as a deliberate conviction of this convention that the act of 1873 in so far as it demonetized silver 132 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. and established gold as the single unit of value, is a flagrant vio- lation of one of the most important provisions of the Constitution of the United States, a violation which every political party ought to condemn and every good citizen should assist in expunging from the statutes of the Republic. We therefore favor the repeal of all laws by which silver was demonetized, and demand its unqualified restoration to the right of free and unlimited coinage in the mints of the United States as money of final redemption, at the old ratio of 16 to 1. Third.—We recognize the fact that upon this question the country has reached a crisis that can be no longer evaded nor postponed. We know that the result of the conflict must be a return to the money of the Constitution, or the substitution there- for for all time to come of a standard of value, born of British aristocratic greed, that doubles the purchasing power of money, and in behalf of the toiling millions of this Republic, we welcome the conflict and pledge the Democratic party of Iowa to stand by the Constitution, to defend the rights, to beat back with all its strength every wrongful aggression of the money power of the old and new world alike, and to aid to the utmost limit of its ability in restoring to ourselves and our posterity the sacred heritage of the financial system bequeathed to the American people by the fathers of the Republic; and which was equally fair and just to all citizens; and in this effort we cordially invite the co-operation of all good citizens without reference to political affiliations in the past. Fourth.—We hereby enter upon a most earnest protest against all schemes for the retirement of our non-interest-bearing national paper currency, and the substitution therefor of $500,000,000 of interest-bearing bonds to become an additional burden upon the producing classes, that national banks may be supplied with inter- est-bearing capital on which to transact their individual business. And we also protest against the further issuance and sale of gov- ernment bonds to acquire gold with which to redeem the same with the coin of either metal it may possess in strict accordance with both the spirit and letter of the law. Fifth —We denounce as a transparent fallacy the claim that labor can be benefited by the maintenance of a single gold stand- ard as the basis of our financial system. iMie experience of all ages and of every country alike clearly demonstrates that a con- IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 133 tracted currency invariably compels a contraction of business; the lessening of industrial enterprises; the enforced idleness of the working classes, and nothing of which the human mind can con- ceive is more clearly self-evident than the naked'truth that the wages of labor must always be adjusted to and correspond with the prices of labor's products in the markets in which they are sold. Sixth.—Earnestly desiring to promote the best interests of the laboring people, we favor the appointment of a cabinet official to be known as Secretary of Labor, whose duty it shall be in all cases of tariff-protected industries to investigate, ascertain and report to'Congress what share, if any, of the enhanced price for which protected products are sold in the markets of this country is paid by employers in these industries to their employes, and to be clothed with full power in all cases where public interests are involved or the public welfare is endangered, to inquire into the merits of the controversies between employes and employers, and recommend the adjustment thereof upon such terms as to him, or arbitrators appointed by him, shall seem just, and in case of the failure of either party to abide by the recommendation made, to report the facts to Congress or a State Legislature, as the case may require, with recommendations for additional legislation, if such in his judgment be necessary, and in the discharge of his several duties, to be clothed with further power to compel the giving of testimony under oath by parties, interested or other- wise, and the production of all books and papers which in his judgment are necessary to a full and impartial determination of the matters committed to his care. Seventh.— The delegates at large and district delegates appointed by the convention to represent the state in the N-ational Democratic convention to be held in Chicago, beginning the 7th day of July, 1896, are hereby instructed to vote as a unit as the majority present shall direct on all questions coming before said National convention for settlement by vote of its delegates, and especially upon all questions relating to the adoption of a platform for the party, and the nomination of candidates for President and Vice-President, and the delegates present in said convention, if less than the whole number be present, and to which the state is entitled, are hereby authorized to cast the full vote of the state in accord with these instructions. 134 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

Eighth.—Reposing full faith and confidence in the Democracy, patriotism and ability of Horace Boies, formerly Governor of the state of Iowa, we hereby declare it to be the bounden duty of every patriot in Iowa, without regard to former party affiliations, to use all honorable means to secure his nomination at the Demo- cratic National convention to be held in Chicago July 7, 1896, for the high and responsible office of President of these United States, to the end that the principles of Jeflersonian Democracy be preserved and promoted, and liberty and prosperity be restored to the great body of the people, and the delegates to the con- vention are expressly authorized and instructed to place his name in nomination at Chicago.

The State Convention to nominate candidates for State officers met at Ottumwa August 12, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—A. VAN WAGENEN, Sioux City. # Permanent Chairman.—J. J. SHEA, Council Bluffs. STATE PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the convention is as follows: We, the Democrats of Iowa, in convention assembled, hereby endorse and hereby affirm the platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention at Chicago in July, 1896, as a true and correct statement of Democratic principles. We recognize in the candidates named by said National Con- vention noble and patriotic champions of said principles, and we pledge to them our most earnest support, recognizing in the finan- cial issue the great and controlling question of the present cam- paign. We invite all voters irrespective of past party affiliations, who are in favor of the interests and prosperity of the great masses of the people to join with us in carrying the election this fall, to the end that financial relief may be given and prosperity restored to the country. ~ - IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 135

For President, WILLIAM J. BRYAN, Of Nebraska. For Vice-President, THOMAS E. WATSON, Of Georgia.

National Convention, Saint Louis, July 22, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—HON. MARION BUTLER, N. Carolina. Permanent Chairman.—Rom. WM. V. ALLEN, Nebraska. PLATFORM. The People's party, assembled in National convention, reaffirms its allegiance to the principles declared by the founders of the Republic and also to the fundamental principles of just govern- ment as enunciated in the platform of the party in 1892. We recognize that through the connivance of the present and preced- ing1 administrations the country has reached a crisis in its national life, as predicted in our declaration four years ago, and that prompt and patriotic action is the supreme duty of the hour. We realize that while we have political independence our financial and industrial independence is yet to be attained by restoring to our country the constitutional control and exercise of the func- tions necessary to a people's government, which functions have been basely surrendered by our public servants to corporate monopolies. The influence of European money changers has been more potent in shaping legislation than the voice of the American peo- ple. Executive power and patronage have been used to corrupt 136 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

our legislatures and defeat the will of the people, and plutocracy has thereby been enthroned upon the ruins of democracy. Declarations on Finance.—To restore the Government intended by the fathers, and for the welfare and prosperity of this and future generations, we demand the establishment of an economic and financial system which shall make us masters of our own affairs and independent of European control by the adoption of the following declaration of principles: 1. We demand a national money, safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without the intervention of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people and through the lawful disbursements of the Government. 2 We demand the free and unrestricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of foreign nations. 3. We demand the volume of circulating medium be speedily increased to an amount sufficient to meet the demands of the busi- ness and population of this country and to restore the just level of prices of labor and production. 4. We denounce the sale of bonds and the increase of the pub- lic interest-bearing debt made by the present administration as unnecessary and without authority of law, and that no more bonds be issued except by specific act of Congress. 5. We demand such legislation as will prevent the demonetiza- tion of the lawful money of the United States by private contract. 6. We demand that the Government, in payment of its obli- gations, shall use its option as to the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and pre- ceding administrations for surrendering this option to the holders of government obligations. 7. We demand a graduated income tax, to the end that aggre- gated wealth shall bear its just proportion of taxation, and we regard the recent decision of the Supreme Court relative to the income tax law as a misinterpretation of the Constitution and an invasion of the rightful powers of Congress over the subject of taxation. 8. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the Government for the safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate exchange. IOWA OFFICIAL EEGISTER. 137

Government Ownership of Railroad and Telegraph.— Transpor- tation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the Government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people and on a non-partisan basis, to the end that all may be accorded the same treatment in transportation, and that the tyranny and political power now exercised by the great railroad corporations, which result in the impairment, if not the destruction, of the political rights .and personal liberties of the citizen, may be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually in a manner consistent with sound public policy. The interest of the United States in the public highways built with public moneys and the proceeds of extensive grants of land to the Pacific railroads should never be alienated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and protected for the general welfare as pro- vided by the laws organizing such railroads. The forclosure of existing liens of the United States on these roads should at once follow default in the payment thereof of the debt of the com- panies, and at the foreclosure sales of said roads the Government shall purchase the same if it becomes necessary to protect its interests therein or if they can be purchased at a reasonable price; and the Government should operate said railroads as public highways for the benefit of the people and not in the interest of the few, under suitable provisions for protection of life and prop- erty, giving to all transportation interests equal privileges and equal rates for fares and freight. We denounce the present infamous schemes for refunding these debts, and demand that the laws now applicable thereto be exe- cuted and administered according to their true intent and spirit. The telegraph, like the postoffite system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the Government in the interest of the people. Reclamation 01 Land.—The true policy demands that national and state legislation shall be such as will ultimately enable every prudent and industrious citizen to secure a home, and therefore the land should not be monopolized for speculative purposes. All lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, should, by lawful means, be reclaimed by the Government and held for actual settlers only, and private land monopoly as well as alien ownership should be prohibited. 138 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. We condemn the frauds by which the land grants to the Pacific railroad companies have, through the connivance of the Interior Department, robbed multitudes of actual bona fide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims, and we demand legislation by Congress which will enforce the exemption of mineral land from such grants after as well as before patent. .We demand that bona fide settlers on all public lands be granted free homes, as provided in the national homestead law, and that no exception be made in the case of Indian reservations, when opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented come under this demand. Direct Legislation.—We favor a system of direct legislation through the initiative and referendum, under proper constitu- tional safeguards. We demand the election of President, Vice-President, and United States Senators by a direct vote of the people. For Cuban Independence.—We tender to the patriotic people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their heroic struggle for political freedom and independence, and we believe the time has come when the United States, the great Republic of the^world, should recognize that Cuba is, and of right ought to be, a free and inde- pendent state. We favor home rule in the territories and the District of Columbia, and the early admission of the territories as states. All public salaries should be made^ to correspond to the price of labor and its products. In time of great industrial depression idle labor should be employed on public works as far as practicable. The arbitrary course of the courts in assuming to imprison citi- zens for indirect contempt and ruling by injunction should be pre- vented by proper legislation. We favor just pensions for our disabled Union soldiers. Believing that the election franchise and untrammeled ballot are essential to a government of, for and by the people, the Peo- ple's party condemns the wholesale system of disfranchisement adopted in some of the states, as unrepublican and undemocratic, and we declare it to be the duty of the several state legislatures to take such action as will secure a full, free and fair ballot and an honest count. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 139

While the foregoing propositions constitute the platform upon which our party stands and for the vindication of which its organ- ization will be maintained, we recognize that the great and press- ing issue of the pending campaign upon which the present Presi- dential election will turn, is the financial question, and upon this great and specific issue between the parties we cordially invite the aid and co-operation of all organizations and citizens agreeing with us upon this vital question.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, 1896.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, JOHN M. PALMER, Of Illinois. For Vice-President^ SIMON BOLIVAR BUCKNER, Of Kentucky.

National Convention, Indianapolis, Ind., September 2, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—Row. ROSWELL, P. FLOWER, of New York. Permanent Chairman —HON. DONELSON CAFFERY, of Louisi- ana. PLATFORM. This convention has assembled to uphold the principles upon which depend the honor and welfare of the American people, in order that Democrats throughout the Union may unite their patriotic efforts to avert disaster to their country and ruin from their party. The Democratic party is pledged to equal and exact justice to all men, of every creed and condition; to the largest freedom of the individual consistent with good government; to the preserva- tion of the Federal government in its constitutional vigor, and to the support of the states in all their just rights; to economy in the public expenditures; to the maintainance of the public credit and 142 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. sound money, and it is opposed to paternalism and all class legis- lation. > The declarations of the Chicago convention attack individual freedom, the right of private. contract, the independence of the judiciary, and the authority of the President to enforce Federal laws. They advocate a reckless attempt to increase the price of silver by legislation, to the debasement of our monetary standard, and threaten unlimited issues of paper money by the government; they abandon for Republican allies the Democratic cause of tariff reform to court the favor of protectionists to their fiscal heresy. In view of these and other grave departures from Democratic principles we cannot support the candidates of that convention nor be bound by its acts. The Democratic party has survived many defeats, but could not survive a victory won in behalf of the doctrine and policy proclaimed in its name at Chicago. v The conditions, however, which make possible such utterances from a national convention are the direct results of class legis- lation by the Republican party. It still proclaims, as it has for years, the power and duty of government to raise and maintain prices by law, and it proposes no remedy for existing evils except" oppressive and unjust taxation. The National Democracy here convened therefore renews its declaration of faith in Democratic principles, especially as appli- cable to the conditions of the times. Taxation and Tariff.— Taxation, tariff, excise or direct; is rightfully imposed only for public purposes, and not for private gain. Its amount is justly measured by public expenditures, which should be limited by scrupulous economy. The sum derived by the Treasury from tariff and excise levies is affected by the state of trade and volume of consumption. The amount required by the Treasury is determined by the appropriations made by Congress. The demand of the Republi- can party for an increase in tariff taxation has its pretext in the deficiency of revenue, which has its causes in the stagnation of trade and reduced consumption, due entirely to the loss of confi- dence that has followed the Populist threat of free coinage and depreciation of our money, and the Republican practice of extrav- agant appropriations beyond the needs of good government. We arraign and condemn the Populist conventions of Chicago and St. Louis for their co-operation with the Republican party in creating IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 143 these conditions, which are pleaded in justification of a heavy increase of the burdens of the people by a further resort to pro- tection. We, therefore, denounce protection and its ally, free coinage of silver, as schemes for the personal profit of a few at the expense of the many, and oppose the two parties which stand for these schemes as hostile to the people of the Republic, whose food and shelter, comfort and property, are attacked by higher taxes and depreciated money. In fine, we reaffirm the historic Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only. Demands for American Commerce.—We demand that hence- forth modern and liberal policies toward American shipping shall take the place of our imitation of the restricted statutes of the eighteenth century, which were long ago abandoned by every maritime power but the United States, and which to the Nation's humiliation have driven American capital and enterprise to the use of alien flags and alien crews, have made the Stars and Stripes an almost unknown emblem in foreign countries, and have vir- tually extinguished the race of American seamen. We oppose the pretense that discriminating duties will pro- mote shipping, and that scheme is an invitation to commercial warfare upon the United States, un-American in the light of our great commercial treaties, offering no gain whatever to American shipping, while greatly increasing ocean freights on our agricul- tural and manufactured products. The experience of mankind has shown'that by reason of their natural qualities gold is the necessary money of the large affairs of commerce and business, while silver is conveniently adapted to minor transactions, and the most beneficial use of both together can be insured only by the adoption of the former as a standard of monetary measure, and the maintenance of silver at a parity with gold by its limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law. Thus the largest possible enjoyment of both metals is gained with the value universally accepted throughout the world, which con- stitutes the only practical bimetallic currency, assuring the most stable standard, and especially the best and safest money for all who earn a livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid in the best money known to man, but are the peculiar and most defenseless victims of a debased and fluctuating currency, which offers continual profits to the money changer at their cost. 144 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

Realizing these truths, demonstrated by long public incon- venience and loss, the Democratic party, in the interests of the masses and of equal justice to all, practically established by the legislation of 1834 and 1853 the gold standard of monetary measure- ments, and likewise entirely divorced the Government from bank- ing and currency issues. To this long established Democratic policy we adhere and insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard and of the parity therewith of every dollar issued by the Government and are firmly opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and to the compulsory purchase of silver bullion. But we denounce, also, the further maintenance of the present costly patchwork system of National paper currency as a constant source of injury and peril. ^' We assert the necessity of such intelligent currency reform as will confine the Government to its legitimate functions, com- pletely separated from the banking business, and afford to all sections of our country a uniform, safe, and elastic bank currency under Government supervision, measured in volume by the needs of business. President Cleveland Praised.—The patriotism, fidelity and courage with which President Cleveland has fulfilled his great public trust, the high character of his administration, its wisdom and energy in the maintenance of civil order, and the enforce- ment of the laws, its equal regard for the rights of every class and every section, its firm and dignified conduct of foreign affairs, and its sturdy persistence in upholding the credit and honor of the Nation are fully recognized by the Democratic party and will secure him a place in history beside the fathers of the Republic. We also commend the administration for the great progress made in the reform of the public service, and we indorse its effort to extend the merit system stilLfurther. We demand that no backward step be taken, but that the reform be supported and advanced until the undemocratic spoils system of appointments shall be eradicated. Economy in Expenditure.— We demand strict economy in the appropriations and in the administration of the government. Arbitration and Pensions.—We favor arbitration for the settle- ment of international disputes. We favor a liberal policy of pensions to deserving soldiers and sailors of the United States. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 145

The Supreme Court.—The Supreme Court of the United States was wisely established by the framers of our Constitution as one of the three co-ordinate branches of the government. Its inde- pendence and authority to interpret the law of the land without fear or favor must be maintained. We condemn all efforts to defame that tribunal or impair the confidence and respect which it has deservedly held. The Democratic party ever has maintained and ever will main- tain the supremacy of law, the independence of its judicial administration, the inviolability of contract, and the obligations of all good citizens to resist every illegal trust, combination or attempt against the just rights of property and the good order of societyu in which are bound up the peace and happiness of our people. Believing these principles to be essential to the well being of the Republic we submit them to the consideration of the American people. STATE TICKET, 1896.

The State convention met in Des Moines, Iowa, August 26, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—J. E. E. MARKLEY, Mason City. Permanent Chairman.—W. I. BABB, Mt. Pleasant. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. We, the delegates of the National Democratic party of Iowa, in convention assembled, submit the following as among the arti- cles of our faith: We hold to the time-honored doctrines of Democracy as taught and exemplified by its great sages and statesmen, who have made the name of their party stand as the synonym of good, safe and honest government from the days of Jefferson and Jackson to those of Tilden and Cleveland. We believe in party organization and the right of the majority of the party to proclaim a platform consistent with its cardinal principles, which are essential to its life; if these essential princi- ples are abandoned the party must die. The recent National convention at Chicago, in violation of the trust committed to it, surrendered the vital principles of our organization and proclaimed a sectional combination of the South and West against the iNorth and East. It adopted a platform mischievous in its tendencies and danger- ous to free government It refused to recognize the honesty, economy, courage and fidelity of the administration of President Cleveland. It assailed the independence of the Judiciary by an undisguised threat to reorganize the courts whenever their decisions are not in accord with the decrees of the party caucus. IOWA. OFFICIAL REGISTER. 147

It denounced the President for performing his duty in main- taining law and order and protecting the. mails and interstate commerce of the country from the forces of disorder which threat- ened them. It attacked the civil service laws, which good men of all par- ties have labored so long to establish, and which the Democratic party, by repeated resolutions, State and National, is pledged to maintain. That platform proposes to debase the coin of the country through the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of 16 to 1. It threatens to increase to an unlimited extent the legal tender paper money and to impair the right of private contract, and virtually pledges that the party if placed in power will repeal the law for the resumption of specie payments. These are not Democratic principles and cannot receive our support. The mere election of a President, pledged to these policies with- out any congressional action whatever, will precipitate a financial crisis, the consequences of which no man can predict. . We are opposed to any policy that will have the effect of reduc- ing the currency of the country to silver monometallism, which would be the immediate result of undertaking the free and unlim- ited coinage of Silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. \ We favor the use of both gold and silver as the metallic money of the country, and the maintenance at par with gold of all the forms of currency in circulation among the people. - We hereby declare our adherence to the gold standard of values under exist- ing conditions, and until true bimetallism can be achieved; we deny that this country can or ought to be economically independ- ent of the other commercial nations of the world. We demand a thorough reform of the present unsatisfactory currency system, and especially do we denounce those features of that system which compel the government to issue bonds to buy gold to redeem notes, that must again be issued, and can again and again be presented for redemption; so long as the system is main- tained the gold reserve will remain the prey of speculation and the condition of the treasury a constant menace to the business and prosperity of the country. 148 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

We reaffirm the tariff plank of the platform of the National Democratic party adopted in 1892, which was emasculated by the late Chicago convention in order to catch the votes of protection silver republicans. Upon State issues we reaffirm the past platforms of the party and deplore the fact that the recent Ottumwa convention ignored them in order to please their new found allies. The duty of the hour with Democrats is to remain steadfast in the defense of our faith. We will not simply protest; we will organize. We call upon the Democracy of Iowa to rally around the ancient banner of the party; reform its broken ranks and go for- ward with an abiding faith in the final triumph of its principles.

Permanent Chairman.—HON. O. W. STEWART, of Illinois. The Prohibition party in National convention assembled, declares its firm conviction that the manufacture, exportation, importation and sale of alcoholic beverages has produced such social, commercial, industrial and political wrongs, and is now so threatening the perpetuity of all our social and political institu- tions, that suppresslo a of the same by a national party organization, IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 149 therefore, is the greatest object to be accomplished by the voters of our country, and is of such importance as that it, if right, ought to control the political action of all~our patriotic cit- izens until such suppression is accomplished. The urgency of this cause demands the union, without further delay, of all citizens who desire the prohibition of the liquor traffic. Therefore, be it resolved, that we favor the legal prohibition by State and National legislation of the manufacture, importation, exportation, interstate transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages. That we declare our purpose to organize and unite all the friends of prohibition into our party, and in order to accomplish this end we deem it but right to leave every Prohibitionist the freedom of his own convictions upon all other political questions, and trust our representatives to take such action upon other political questions as the changes occasioned by prohibition and the welfare of the whole people shall demand.

State convention met at Des Moines, Iowa, May 13, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—J. A. HARVEY, Perry. Permanent Chairman.—K. W. BROWN, Ames. PLATFORM ADOPTED. 1. The Prohibition party of Iowa in convention assembled at the city of Des Moines, May 13, 1896, acknowledging Almighty God as the rightful sovereign of all men and the Lord Jesus Christ as the ruler among the nations of the earth, and to whose laws all IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 151 human enactments must conform to secure the blessings of peace and prosperity, presents the following declaration of principles: 2. We declare our sympathies, as a party of reform, to be in favor of whatever tends to make men intelligent and virtuous. We assert our purpose to be identical with that of the National Constitution, to establish justice, to insure domestic tranquility, to promote the general welfare and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. 3. We reaffirm the liquor traffic is a foe to civilization and to popular government; that it promotes poverty and crime, that it thwarts the will of the people and destroys our homes, and we declare anew for the entire suppression of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors as a beverage, and that the full power of the Government should be asserted to gain this result. 4. We declare that the so-called regulation by license, mulct or taxation whereby a revenue is derived from this traffic, is con- trary to good government, is complicity with the liquor crime and corrupting to public conscience. 5. We pledge our co-operation with all organizations endeavor- ing to suppress the evils of the saloon, but our experience of disap- pointment convinces us that any political party, not openly oppos- ing this traffic, will court the favor of the liquor interests, and will shape legislation to secure or retain their support. We, therefore, declare for prohibition with the Prohibition party back of it. 6. We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast a free and unrestricted ballot at all public elec- tions and that such ballots shall be returned as cast, and that this sovereign right shall be denied to no citizen on account of sex. 7. We declare the principle of taxation amplified in the income tax law to be just and beneficent, and we greatly deplore the decision of the United States Supreme Court by which that law was declared void. So long as it is necessary to look for National revenue from tariff, we declare for a tariff for revenue that shall meet the expenses of the government economically administered but discriminating with a special reference to the protection of our domestic labor. 8. We believe in the gold and silver coinage of th© Con- stitution, and a National currency, issued by the general govern- ment only. 152 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

We demand the return of the free coinage of both silver and gold, without discrimination against either, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and at once, independent of the action of any other nation. 9. We affirm that railroads, • telegraphs, and all public works now granted franchises, the right of eminent domain and other sovereign privileges, should be owned or strictly controlled by the government for the people, and our opposition to all monopolies by legislation, because they are violations of equal rights of the people. 10. This country has always been a refuge for all the oppressed, exiles for conscience sake; but it is now becoming largely a refuge for criminals and the home for the pauper popu-, lation of other countries. We, therefore, declare for a revision of our emigrant laws that we may continue to receive the worthy and may be free from the burden of the vicious and indolent. 11. We stand for the American public school, taught in the English language, and opposed to any appropriations for sec- tarian purposes or for the perpetuation of foreign customs or lan- guages, and declare that we can only thus hope to become and remain a homogeneous and harmonious people. 12. We defend the divine right of all to*one day's rest in seven. 13. The armies of the Republic are disbanded, we trust never to be marshalled again in battle array, but so long as patriotism exists we demand, for the soldiers of the Nation, their widows and orphans, generous and liberal pensions. 14. We declare in favor of arbitration as the wisest, most humane and economical method of settling all international as well as lesser differences in nation and state. 15. We favor the adoption of a system of legislation by the people known as " initiative and referendum," with propor- tionate representation. State Matters.—We denounce in unmeasured terms the so-called mulct law of this state, and we arraign the Republican party which enacted it for perfidy and treachery to the vote of the sovereign people cast for prohibition June 27,1882, and we declare that no one, layman or priest, is worthy of the public confidence of the people who aided or abetted the enactment of this infamous statute or who now palliates its continuance. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 153 We demand that the revenue laws of Iowa shall be radically reconstructed ta the end that the wealth of the wealthy shall bear its just proportion of taxation. In other words, we demand legis- lation that shall cause each dollar to pay its own tax. We demand that the public institutions of Iowa shall be placed on purely a business foundation and their management be divorced from partisan control. We demand that legislation shall be had to control the charges for telephones, telegraphs and express companies as well as to regulate transportation charges of railways.

NATIONAL PARTY, 1896.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, CHARLES E. BENTLEY, Of Nebraska. For Vice-President, JAMES H. SOUTHGATE, ; Of North Garolina. National Convention, Pittsburgh May 29, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—Hon. Permanent Chairman.—Hon. The National party, recognizing God as the author of all just power in government, presents the following declaration of prin- ciples, which it pledges itself to enact into effective legislation when given the power to do so: 1. The suppression of the manufacture and sale, importation, exportation and transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes. We utterly reject all plans for regulating, or comprom- ising with this traffic, whether such plans be called local option, taxation, license or public control. The sale of liquors for medic- inal and other legitimate uses should be conducted by the State, 154 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. without profit, and with such regulations as will prevent fraud or evasion. 2. No citizen should be denied the right to vote on account of sex. 3. All money should be issued by the general Government only, and without the intervention of any private citizen, corpo- ration or banking institution. It should be based upon the wealth, stability and integrity of the nation. It should be a full legal-tender for all debts, public and private, and should be of sufficient vol- ume to meet the demands of the legitimate business interests of the country. For the purpose of honestly liquidating our out- standing coin obligations, we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold, at the ratio of 16 to 1, without consulting any other nation. "4 Land is the common heritage of the people, and should be preserved from monopoly and speculation. All unearned grants of land, suoject to forfeiture, should be reclaimed by the Govern- ment and no portion of the public domain should hereafter be granted except to actual settlers, continuous use being essential to tenure. 5. Railroads, telegraphs and other natural monopolies should be owned aL d operated by the Government, giving to the people the benefit of service at actual cost. 6. The National Constitution should be so amended, as to allow the national revenues to be raised by equitable adjustment of tax- ation on the properties and incomes of the people, and import duties should be levied as a means of securing equitable commercial rela- tions with other nations. 7. The contract convict labor system, through which specula- tors are enriched at the expense of the state, should be abolished. 8. All citizens should be protected bylaw in their right to one day of rest in seven, without oppressing any who conscien- tiously observe any other than the first day of the week. 9. The American public schools, taught in the English lan- guage, should be maintained, and no public funds should be appro- priated for sectarian institutions. 10. The President, Vice-President and United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people. 11. Ex-soldiers and sailors of the United States army and navy, their widows and minor children, should receive liberal IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 155 pensions, graded on disability and term of service, not merely as a debt of gratitude, but for services rendered in the preservation of the Union. 12. Our immigration laws should be so revised as to exclude paupers and criminals. None but citizens of the United States should be allowed to vote in any state and naturalized citizens should not vote until one year after naturalization papers have been issued. 13. The initiative and referendum, and proportional repre- sentation, should be adopted. 14. Having herein presented our principles and purposes, we invite the co-operation and support of all citizens who are with us substantially agreed.

WHEREAS, The Prohibition party of Iowa met in State con- vention at Des Moines on the 13th of May, 1896, and by more than a four-fifths vote adopted a platform of principles known as " broad gauge," specifically declaring for the prohibition of the liquor traffic, demonetization of.silver, woman suffrage, govern- ment ownership of natural utilities, for the initiative and refer- endum and other live and vital issues, and nominated a set of candidates for state offices, exponents of the doctrine expressed in the Iowa ''broad gauge " platform; and WHEREAS, Private correspondence and personal conversations and resignations by the oft repeated declarations of the Common- wealth newspaper, the recognized official organ of the Iowa Pro- hibitionists, it is known that the candidates stand loyal and true to the principles set forth in the Iowa state platform; and WHEREAS, The principles of said platform are in harmony with the principles of the national platform; therefore, Resolved, That this convention of right assumes that said can- didates are the exponents of the principles set forth in our own national platform, and for the purpose of offering all Prohibition- ists an opportunity of casting a united vote for the principles of broad gauged prohibition, do indorse and make the several candi- dates nominated at Des Moines the candidates of this convention for the various offices for which they are named, and we hereby reaffirm, approve and adopt the planks of the Iowa State Prohi- bition platform.

NATIONAL SILVER PARTY, 1896.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, WILLIAM J. BRYAN, Of Nebraska. For Vice-President, ARTHUR SEWALL, Of Maine. National Convention, St. Louis, July 22, 1896. Temporary Chairman.—HON. FRANCIS O. NEWLANDS, Nevada. Permanent Chairman.—HON. WILLIAM P. ST. JOHN, New- York. PLATFORM. The National Silver party, in convention assembled, hereby adopts the following declaration of principles: The paramount issue at this time in the United States is indis- putably the money question. It is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and government currency on the other. On this issue we declare ourselves to be in favor of a distinctively American financial system. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard and demand the immediate return to the con- stitutional standard of gold and silver by the restoration by this Government, independently of any foreign power, of the unre- stricted coinage of both gold and silver into standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality, as they existed prior to 1873; the silver coin to be a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts and dues, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demon- etization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract* 158 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

We hold that the power to control and regulate a paper cur- rency is inseparable from the power to coin money, and hence that all currency intended to circulate as money should be issued and its volume controlled by the general Government only, and should be legal tender. We are unalterably opposed to the issue by the United States of interest-bearing bonds in time of peace, and we denounce as a blunder worse than a crime the present treasury policy, concurred in by a Republican House, of plunging the coantry into debt by hundreds of millions, in the vain attempt to maintain the gold standard by borrowing gold; and we demand the payment of all coin obligations of the United States, as provided by existing laws, in either gold or silver coin, at the option of the Government, and not at the option of the creditor. The demonetization of silver in 1873 enormously increased the demand for gold, enhancing its purchasing power and lowering all prices measured by that standard, and since that unjust and inde- fensible act the prices of American products have fallen upon an average nearly 50 per cent, carrying down with them proportion- ately the money value of all other forms of property. Such fall of prices has destroyed the profits of legitimate industry, injuring the producer for the benefit of the non-producer, increasing^ the burden of the debtor, swelling the gains of the creditor, paralyzing the productive energies of the American people, relegating to idleness vast numbers of willing workers, sending the shadows of despair into the home of the honest toiler, filling the land with tramps and paupers and building up colossal fortunes at the money centers. In the effort to maintain the gold standard the country has within the past two years, in a time of profound peace and plentyj been loaded down with $262,000,000 of additional interest-bearing debt under such circumstances as to allow a syndicate of native and foreign bankers to realize a net profit of millions on a single deal. It stands confessed that the gold standard can only be upheld by so depleting our paper currency as to force the prices of our products below the European, and even below the Asiatic level, to enable us to sell in foreign markets, thus aggravating the very evils of which our people so bitterly complain, degrading American labor and striking at the foundations of our civilization itself. The advocates of the gold standard persistently claim that IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 159 the cause of our distress is overproduction—that we have pro- duced so much that it has made us poor—which implies that the true remedy is to close the factory, abandon the farm, and throw a multitude of people out of employment, a doctrine that leaves us unnerved and disheartened and absolutely without hope for the future. We affirm it %o be unquestioned that there can be no such economic paradox as overproduction, and at the same time tens of thousands of our fellow citizens remaining half clothed and half fed, and who are piteously clamoring for the common necessi- ties of life. Over and above all other questions of policy, we are in favor of restoring to the people of the United States the time-honored money of the Constitution—gold and silver; not one, but both—the money of Washington and Hamilton and Jefferson and Monroe and Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest product; that an American debtor may pay his just obligations in an honest standard and not in a standard that has appreciated 100 per cent above all the great staples of our country, and to the end further that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unjust advantage they now enjoy in the difference in exchange between gold and silver—an advan- tage which tariff legislation alone cannot overcome. We, therefore, appeal to the people of the United States to leave in abeyance for the moment all other questions, however important and even momentous they may appear, to sunder, if need be, all former party ties and affiliations, and unite in one supreme effort to free themselves and their children from the dom- ination of the money power—a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized- men of any race or in any age. And upon the consummation of our desires and efforts we invoke the gracious favor of Divine Providence. This party had no ticket in Iowa. 160 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY, 18%.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President, CHARLES H. MATTCHETT, Of New York. For Vice-President^ MATTHEW MAGUIRE, Of New Jersey. National convention met in New York City, July 10, 1896. Chairman.—Hon. J. Broffe, Massachusetts. PLATFORM. The Socialist Labor party of the United States, in convention assembled, reasserts the inalienable right of ail men to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. With the founders of the American Republic we hold that the purpose of government is to secure every citizen in the enjoyment of this right; but in the light of our social conditions we hold, furthermore, that no such right can be exercised under a system of economic inequality, essentially destructive of life, of liberty and of happiness. With the founders of this Republic we hold that the true theory of politics is that the machinery of government must be owned and controlled by the whole people; but in the light of our industrial development we hold, furthermore, that the true theory of eco- nomics is that the machinery of production must likewise belong to the people in common. To the obvious fact that our despotic system of economics is the direct opposite of our democratic system of •politics, can plainly be traced the existence of a privileged class, the corruption of government by that class, the alienation of public property? IOWA OFFICIAL RBGIBTBB. 161 public franchises and public functions to that class, and the abject dependence of the mightiest of nations upon that class. Again, through the perversion of democracy to the ends of plutocracy, labor is robbed of the wealth which it alone produces, is denied the means of self-employment, and, by compulsory idle- ness in wage slavery, is even deprived of the necessaries of life. Human power and natural forces are thus wasted, that the plutocracy may rule. Ignorance and misery, with all their concomitant evils, are perpetuated, that the people may be kept in bondage. Science and invention are diverted from their humane purpose to the enslavement of women and children. Against such a system the Socialist Labor party once more enters its protest. On@e more it reiterates its fundamental declaration that private property in the natural sources of pro- duction and in the instruments of labor is the obvious cause of all economic servitude and political dependence. The time is fast coming when, in the natural course of social evolution, this system, through the destructive action of its failures and-crises on the one hand, and the constructive ten- dencies of its trusts and other capitalistic combinations on the other hand, shall have worked out its own downfall. We, therefore, call upon the wage workers of the United States and upon all other honest citizens, to organize under the banner of the Socialist Labor party into a class-conscious body, aware of its rights and determined to conquer them by taking possession of the public powers, so that, held together by an indomitable spirit of solidarity under the most trying conditions of the present class struggle, we may put a summary end to that barbarous struggle by the abolition of classes, the restoration of the land and of all the means of production, transportation and distribution to the people as a collective body, and the substitution of the co operative commonwealth for the present state of planless pro- duction, industrial war and social disorder; a commonwealth in which every worker shall have the free exercise and full benefit of his faculties, multiplied by all the modern factors of civilization. With a view to immediate improvement in the condition of labor we present the following demands: 1. Reduction oi the hours of labor in proportion to the prog- ress of production. 11 162 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 2. The United States to obtain possession of the mines, rail- roads, canals, telegraphs, telephones and all other means of public transportation and communication; the employes to operate the same co-operatively under control of the Federal government and to elect their own superior officers, but no employe shall be dis- charged for political reasons. 3. The municipalities to obtain possession of the local rail- roads, ferries, water works, gas works, electric plants, and all industries requiring municipal franchises; the employes to oper- ate the same co-operatively under control of th<© municipal admin- istration and to elect their own superior officers, but no employe shall be discharged for political reasons. 4. The public lands to be declared inalienable. Revocation of all land grants to corporations or individuals, the conditions.of which have not been complied with. 5. The United States to have the exclusive right to issue money. 6 Congressional legislation providing for the scientific man- agement of forests and waterways, and prohibiting the waste of the natural resources of the country. 7. Inventions to be free to all; the inventors to be remunerated by the nation. 8. Progressive income tax and tax on inheritances; the smaller incomes to be exempt. 9. School education of all children under fourteen years of age to be compulsory, gratuitous and accessible to all by public assistance in meals, clothing, books, etc., where necessary. 10. Repeal of all pauper, tramp, conspiracy and sumptuary laws. Unabridged right of combination. 11. Prohibition of the employment of children of school age and the employment of female labor in occupations detrimental to health or morality. Abolition of the convict labor contract system. 12. Employment of the unemployed by tEe public authorities (county, city, state and nation). 13. All wages to be paid in lawful money of the United States. Equalization of woman's wages with those of men where equal service is performed. 14. Laws for the protection of life and limb in all occupations, and an efficient employers' liability law. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 163

15. The people to have the right to propose laws and to vote upon all measures of importance, according td the referendum principle. 16. Abolition of the veto power of the Executive {national, state and municipal), wherever it exists. 17. Abolition of the United States Senate and all upper legis- lative chambers. * 18. Municipal self-government. 19. Direct vote and secret ballots in all elections. Universal and equal right of suifrage without regard to color, creed or sex. Election days to be legal holidays. The principle of proportional representation to be introduced. 20. All public officers to be subject to recall by their respective constituencies. 21.

THE CODE COMMISSION.

Representative Trewin, of Allamakee county, introduced into the Twenty-fifth General Assembly "a bill for an act creating a commission to revise and codify the laws of Iowa and defining its duties and providing for the publication and distribution of its report." This bill, which passed both branches of the legislature and became chapter 115 of the session lawsj read substantially a6 follows: SECTION 1. That a non-partisan commission consisting of five persons, two of whom shall be appointed by the house of represen- tatives, one by the state senate and two by the supreme court, be and is hereby constituted for the purpose of revising; and codifying the laws of Iowa and reporting necessary and desirablie changes to the Twenty-sixth General Assembly. Each of said commissioners shall be learned in the law and three of them shall have been engaged in" the actual and continuous practice" of l^tw for the ten years last past. ^ SEC. 2 Provides dates for selection of comtaissioners. SEC. 3. Provides oath to be taken before entering upon the discharge* of their duties. : -:f!/ jb ij; r S ^ Sfed: 4. Said commission shall carefully retire and codify the laws of Iowa, andshalP rewrite the same and divide them intd appropriate parts and arrange them under" appropriate titlesi chapters and sections; omit all parts Repealed or obsolete, insert all amendm?ents and make the laws complete. Said commission slialt have "pibwer to transpose words and sentences, arrange tKe siame into sections or paragraphs and number them, change the phraseology and make any and all alteratioiis necessary to improve, systematise, harmonize and make the laws clear and intelligible l^hey shall omit from said revision all laws of a local or temporary character, those relating to the apportionment of the state into congressional, senatorial and representatLv'e districts, and all refer- ences to tteciBion^,; notes Of ttifeir 6w& report, or that of atfy forncier 264 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

SEC. 5. Said commission shall enter upon the discharge of it& duties on or before the first day of September, A. D. 18P4, and its report showing what changes have been made, what statutes omitted and what amendments and farther legislation it may deem necessary, shall be completed and printed before the first day of November, A- D. 1895, , SEC. .6. Provides for compensation ($10 per day, not less than ten hours, and traveling expenses). < SEC. 7. Empowers commission to employ a stenographer at not more than $5 per day. SEC. 8. Provides for filling1 vacancies in board. Under the provisions of section 1 of the foregoing act the house of representatives appointed John Y. Stone, of Glenwood, ex-attorney-general, and Charles Baker, of Iowa City, a promi- nent attorney of that city, as the members to be selected by that body; while the senate named Emlin McClain, chancellor of the law department in the State University. A month later the supreme court added to the commission the names of Judge H S. Winslow, of Newton, and H. P. Dale, the latter a prominent attorney at Des Moines. The commission met at once, organized by the election of Judge Winslow chairman, with Charles Baker as secretary, and at once entered upon the work assigned them, BO that when the Twenty-sixth General Assembly convened they laid before that body their report, from which the following extracts are made: % "In carrying out the duty thus imposed the commission has, first by its individual members, and finally in general session, gone over the whole of the Code of 1873, and all of the statutes of the state of a general, public, and permanent nature subsequently passed, incorporating all amendments which have been made, omitting all provisions which have been repealed or are obsolete, and^in general making the expression of the law correspond to its present legal effect. In the exercise of the duty of rewriting the law and improving its phraseology, the commission has made many verbal changes, but has done so,with great care in order that the meaning of the statutes should not be thereby materially changed. " The language of the act as above quoted indicates, however, that some alterations in the law for the purpose of securing com- pleteness, and to improve, systematize, and harmonize it and •\ IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 265

make it clear and intelligible, were contemplated as within the scope of the duty of the commission, and it has therefore recom- mended some changes, having in view, however, the unification and perfection of the system of the written law as it now is, rather than the enlargement of it or its change in material matters. This view finds support in the fact that the statute under which this commission has acted is modeled after that under which a similar commission acted In drafting the Code of 1873. That com- mission prepared a report for the Fourteenth General Assembly with a somewhat restricted view of its powers, but this report was to some extent unsatisfactory, and it was directed to report further to an adjourned session (14 G. A., Private acts, p. 106) and in doing so it presented a code ready for adoption by the legisla- ture. This commission has thought it best to present a code sub- stantially in accordance with the "plan finally adopted by the former commission. To have presented merely recommendations for changes would have involved great labor upon the assembly and additional labor upon the commissioners, and an entire reprinting in the form of bills of the Code with the recommenda- tions incorporated, and the result would have lacked unity and harmony. " This commission has therefore reported a complete code, divided into parts, titles, chapters and sections, each title being in the form of a separate bill with an enacting clause, so that no reprinting in bill form will be necessary. " Wherever the Code as reported does not exactly follow the > present statutory language the new words are underscored, or if a whole section has been rewritten it is all underscored. The under- scoring therefore (Joes not necessarily indicate any new law, but if provisions are new, they are necessarily underscored. * *• It must be distinctly understood that a change of language does not necessarily indicate any intention to change the meaning of the law. The commission is authorized to rewrite the sections of the Code and statutes for the purpose of improving the expres- sion of the law and it has faithfully done so, omitting much that is superfluous and improving the statement and arrangement of the written law where practicable. In some chapters the transpo- sition of words, sentences and sections has been so general that substantially entire chapters are underscored without being in any sense new; for instance, in the chapters relating to cities and towns, state institutions and the public schools. IGWA

ad« This accompanying report explaftfsthe principal changes made and defers to the new" sections of parts of sections introduced,: and states briefly the1 reasons therefor.- To'have attemptedUo^state and explainreach change:~in the language- would^have^inade' this report more voluminous "than tHe Code itself and would have been of no practical Value. Such reports were prepared for the^gf eater part of the work by each "commissioner in 'revising the* portion of the Code assigned to him'and were before the commission in acting upon his drafts butimuchfCrevising°was done by the individual members in reviewing theT work of *tKe others and alsa in their joint sessions when passing finally1 upon the various portions of the work as reported, and a record of the action as to each partic- ular change was impracticable within the timeallowed, and would have been a burden instead of anf assistance inc passing'upon the result. )B i£il&iri\ :.tih.[ oii d*fr* ©'>•:<._o*n ..$* c{ •f.^wa^a "It should berstated thatr while there has been difference of opinion among the'members of the commission as€to the plan of making material changes and as to various changes reccMifiie%dedf yet the judgment of thecommission is embodied -in'the asect ions, which it has reported. It feelsjjustified*in stating that its work* has been done with great care and labor in the hope that the result' may be fout)d satisfactory to the general assembly and tha? *the Code as proposed may be adoptedrisubstantially* in the formTin which it is presented Whatever difference of opinion there may have been a 9 to the form of reporting'the work!, does not^extendr to the matter as reported. &e elkvj e^/ *K>7.*rai{W '* "The title relating to county, township, town and city govern^ ment has been divided so as to place county and township govern- ment in one title and city and town government in a separate title,8 divided into proper chapters. The great increase of the statutory provisions relating to cities and towns, and their complete inde- pendence of the provisions relating to counties hasVendered4his* arrangement imperative. r> D *Wiii 8i^ "The chapters as to. the various state institutions are placed in* different titles of the Code, some of them under the police^ title", some .in the educational title, but in these chapters provisions were found which were substantially common to all such institu- tions, and it was thought wise not only for the purpose of avoiding* repetition, but also to secure uniformity, to insert one chapter relating to the general government of such institutions, and IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. 267 has been placed at the end of the title relating to the police of the state. "As a matter of general policy it has been thought best to omit almost entirely the sections under various headings in the nature of legalizing^acts. The present statutory provisions have been so long in force that there seems to be no occasion now for relieving parties who have acted in violation of, or without regard to such statutes. These acts will remain in force as of their original date,, but it not thought wise to extend their * scope. "Senate file 340, a bill for an act to revise and amend the reve- nue and taxation laws, was referred to the commission by resolu- tion of the senate, and it has been considered, as more fully explained in the following report on the chapter relating to the assessment of taxes. "A bill contemplating the adoption of the Torrens system of land titles was also referred by the senate to the commission. The system has been examined to some extent, but it has not been thought wise to incorporate it into the reported code. "By joint resolution of the two houses of the general assembly the commission was authorized to send three delegates to repre- sent the state at the meeting of commissioners appointed by the various states to consider and recommend to their states for adop- tion uniform laws on some subjects as to which uniformity of legislation is desirable. H. O. Weaver, L. G. Kinne, and Emlin McClain were appointed and each attended sessions of such com- missioners and some of their recommendations are embodied in the reported code, with an explanation in each case of the source from which such provisions come. This work is still in progress with a prospect of very beneficial results. It is recommended that that commission^ consisting of the same or other members, be con- tinued, and that an appropriation be made to pay their expenses and provide a fund to be used in paying the proper share of the necessary printing. Thus far the members have paid their own expenses." - Accompanying this report was the proposed code, a large volume covering over 1,000 printed pages. When the legislature met in January, 1896, a strong feelings was manifested by many of the members who expressed them- selves that the commission had exceeded the powers vested in them, in that changes had been made in the existing laws 268 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER.

unwarranted by chapter 115. It was held that the duties of th© commissioners were limited to a codification and rearrangement of already existing statutes. As a consequence a large part of the session was spent in overhauling the work gone over and reported by the commission, and adjournment came without anything defi- nite being accomplished in the way of completing the Code. Yet the work had been thoroughly reviewed and the committees made familiar with the general plan, thus qualifying them for its com- pletion in a degree not possible with a newly elected body. A day or two before final adjournment a joint committee called upon the governor and urged the necessity of his calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of finishing the work already under way. This the governor consented to do, and on November 17th issued a proclamation designating January 19, 1897, as the day upon which a special session of the legislature would convene, devoted to the work of revising and codifying anew the statutes of the state. Meanwhile much speculation was indulged in as to whether general legislation could be accomplished at this session or whether the work must be confined wholly to the subject matter contained in the proclamation. While there is little doubt as to the powers of a special session to enact such legislation as may seem to them proper, yet there seems little disposition on the part of the members to go outside of the regular work in hand.
