The following Is an abstract OF the
platform adopted
We heartily rc-atlirm the entire Chi
cago platform OF 1896 !; and we espcci-
ally emphasize the financial plank
therein, and we continue to demand
the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver and gold as equal In primary
money, at the rate OF Is to |, indopcn-
dent Of all other nations In the world
The Hon. VIM. J. Bryan still retains
our entire confidence and VIC demand
his denomination In 1900.
We recognize the solemn fact that
our government cannot be both Re-
eublican and imperial.
We stand in limo With Washington,
Jefferson, jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
all other American patriots, living aud
dead, In desiring the perpetuity Of
our republic.
We are radically and unalterably OPP
posed to Imperialism In the United
States OF America. Whom we have
solved sOme OF tho race problems that
confront us at homo, then by example,
we can proclaim the blessings that
low from free institutions and thus
procure " benevolent assimilation
without criminal aggression"
We are opposed to cntangling alli-
anccs with foreign Kingdoms and en-.
pircs.
We commend the action Of Congress
in declaring that our war with Spair
was for humanity, not for conquest.
We proudly recognize the valor anC
glorious achievements 0. our gallant
soldiers and sailors from Bunker Hill
to this very hour, as being among the
most thrilling and glorious in the his
tory OF the world, but wo profoundly
regret that American soldiers arc
being unlawfully usod In the name OF
liberty, to crush and destroy dawninp
rcpubicanlsm, In tho Orient, and We
dcnounce tho secret and vicious alli
ancc now in evidence bctwcon England
and the Republican administration
whereby this nation may become In
volved in war with foreign nations.
We demand that the Cubans and
Philippines not only be permitted but
encouraged to establish Independent
republics, deriving all OF their gov.
crnmcntal powers from tho consent o
the governed.
We dcnounce the Republican party
for its 80 years of abjcct subscrvienCC
to tho shipping interest Of Great
britain and We donOuncc the Hanna
Payne shipping bin, which, II onactet
into law, would further shackle ON
interests.
, We arc in favor OF mainta!n ning oul
splendid and efficient navy.
A large 9tanLing army in our rcpuo 3
lie Is a. mer acc to liberty.
. We favor tn !nitimtivc and refcrcr
dunn, the rs age Of the eight hoa
labor law, tho more rigid inspection o
5 mines and workshops, the prohibition
, Of sweat shops, and tho abollJio
2 Of tho contract system OF prison labor
