PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on platform and
resolutions, through its chairman
Hon. {. w. Ponrosc, reported as fol-
lows:
The Democratic party OF Utah in
convention assembled hereby adopts
the following platform aud resolutions.
Flrat--As u duly recognized portion
n the great Democratic party OF tho
United states, We nccept and endorse
the principles set forth Ia the platform
Of that party, adopted at the conven-
sion held In Chicago, June "a. 1899.
Sectnd-We recognize the govern
ment OF the United States as supreme
In all national Affairs, AN run anew our
Allegiance 10 iis sovereignty, ahd
pledge ourselves to IT, laws aud author
ity as delegated 10 1t from the people
and defined In the national oonstiiu-
ton.
Third-we hold that the principle OF
local sci, government ~ fundamental
ana essential to tho system established
by the founders OF our nation, and
therufOrcthat each Of tue states Il, and
must bo sovereign within its own
sphere. We regard paternallsm in
government rs opposed 90 the genius
Of our political institutions, and CEN
trali1ltion as fatal to the rights VI the
states and the liberties Of the people.
Fourth-We denounce all schemes,
whether called "protcction,O or by
any other misnomer, which tax the
many Tor the enrichment OF the few,
which take from the poor man an much
~ they draw from the rich; which
build up one class at the expense OF the
other; which foster trusts and feed
no legalized robbery, dis.
guised fraud and virtual defiance OF
inhibitions.
Fiith-We regard home indust rico
rs essential 10 the welfare OF the coun-
try and their maintenance rs conducive
10 general prosperity. But wo do not
believe II IL within the province OF
government 10 subai.
dize manufactures at public expense,
nor TO compel the grent massea OF
ngriculturlsts TO pay high prices TO
few manufacturers. To cripple COM
iuerce aud prevent fair competition Is
10 create monOpolics and impoyeFiAh
the majority Of tho people.
SiKth-Wo brand as deceptive and
shameful the speclous sophistry by
which uniformed people are led TO
believe that high tariff lowers the
price Of commodities, increases wages
and benefits anybody but monopOlists,
SPECTATORS and moneyed corporations.
We favor tariff to provide neeuf ul
revenue for the government, wise
economy In public expenditures, local
taxation limited TO the necessities OF
Inc times and a strict accounting Of all
public funds.
Seveuth-Wo execrate partisan at
.ompts 10 control the VIII OF tho people,
prevent itH freq expression at the polls
jr elsewhere, and confront ballots With
bayonots. We pronounce them reyolu
.lonary and american and declare
our! determination 10 resist them
legally to tho very uttermost.
