the United States note which stands behind it.
and yet the banks persistently demand that

IN order that the banks may collect the interest
which the people now save. TO empower Ma

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
"A dignifed but firm maintenance of the for
| eisn policy first set forth by President Monroe
and reiterated by the Presidents who have sue
| ceeded him. instead OF arousng hostility abroad
is the best guarantee of amicabe relations with
other nations. II IS better for all concerned that
the United States should resist any extension of
European authority in the Western Hemisphere
rather than invite the continual irritation which
would necessarily result from any attempt to
increase the influence of monarchical institutions
over that portion Of the Americas which has been
dedlcated TO republican government.
PENSIONS

tenders. The of those who have suffered
injury in the military and naval service Of the
country is sacred duty A nation which like
the United States relies unon voluntary service

them.
THE COMMON PEOPLE AGAIN
Labor creates capital. Until wealth is pro-
duced by the application Of brain and muscle to
the resources Of this country there is nothing
to divide amon- the non producing classes of
society. Since the producers of wealth create

tn Sc who stand in official positions. The Demo
cratic party has ever found its voting strength
among those who are proud to he known the
common people. ard ii pledges itself to propose
and enact such legislation is necessary t. pro-
tect the masses in the free exercise Of every po-
litical right and in the enjoyment of their Just
share OF the rewards Of their labor
ARBITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES
which recommends such legislation as is neces-
sary to the arbitration OF differences ne
tween empo. ers engaged in interstate commerce
and their employees. Arbitration is not a new
idea it is simply extension of the court Of
justice. The laborns men Of the countrs' have
expressed desire for arbitration. and the rail
roads cannot reasonably object t. the decisions
rendered by an impartial tribunal. Society has
an interest even greater than the interest Of en-
plover or employee and has a right to protect
itself by courts OF arbitration against the gror-
rg inconvenience and embarrassment occasioned
by dispute between thos" who the great
arteries Of commerce on the ore hand. and the
laborers who operate them. on the other.
IMMIGRATION
While the Democratic party welcomes 20 the
country those who come with love for our ins,i-
tutons and with the determination and ability
to contribute To the strength and greatness of
Nation. il is opposed to the dumping of the
criminal classes upon our shores and to the i'm
portaton of either pauper contract labor to
compete with American labor.
FOR ALTGELD AND DEBS
THE recent abuses which have grown out OF
injunction proceedings have been SO emphatical-
ly condemned by public opinion that the Senate
bill providing for tria, by jury in certain con-
tempt cases will meet with general approval
OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
The Democratic party is opposed t. trusts.
Ii will be recreant to its duty TO the people of
the country if il recognizes either the moral or
legal right of these great aGSregatiors Of wealth
to stife competition. bankrup. rivals and prey
upon society Corporations are the creatures Of
law. and they must not be permitted 10 pass

ated them: they permitted TO exist upon the
theory that they advance public veal. and they
must not he allowed 70 use their powers for the
public injury.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
The right of the United States Government
to regulate interstate commerce cannoc be ques-
toned and the necessity for the vigorous exer
else of that right is becoming more and more i'm
perative The interests Of the whole people re-
ouire such an enlargement of the powers Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission as will enable
il to prevent discrimination between persons and
ulaces and TO protect patrons from unreasonable
charges
PACIFIC RAILROADS.
The Government cannot afford 70 discrim.-
nate between its debtors and must. therefore.
prosecute it's legal claims against the Pacific
railroads. Such policy is necessary for the
