Democratic platform shifts at Iowa county convention noted
The Iowa Democratic platform at the Destines convention failed to reaffirm the 16 to 1 free silver plank, returning to old Democratic principles. The Des Moines Capital jubilee edition marks its 50th anniversary with 40 pages and historic Des Moines scenes. Alfred Scales purchased the Ackley Phonograph, pledging a clean Republican newspaper, while tax ferret defections and omitted taxes in Hardin County remain unsettled. The article also defends the Republican protective tariff, praising its role in industrial growth and prosperity, with calls for careful tariff adjustments as needed.
