Prince David Did Ii.

Kansas City. Mo, July G.-Prince
David OF Hawaii. the first person of
royal blood to sit i'll a democratic
convention. cast the vote at the
meeting of the committee on resolu-
tions that put free silver into the
democratic platform. He was APP
pointed member of the committee
from Hawaii and went to the all
night meeting. Nobody knew what
his sentiments were, and he was cul-
tivated assiduOusly during the even
ing by General Sinclair. the anti
silver whip, and by Senator Tillman
and X. L. Metcalf, the silver men.
Prince David listened TO the argu-
ments without making a sign, and
finally. when it came his turn 10 vote
voted for silver. The vote before it
came TO him was % TO "a for silver.
If he had voted against silver the
vote would have been a tie and the
proposition would have been lost.
1t is not generally known that II
was Prince David vote that helped
Mr. Bryan win his victory. Some
of the leading anti-silver democrats
have commented bitterly Oh the fact
that ii man from Hawaii, the newest
territory. should have settled this
important question. and Il dark
skinned man at that.

Unceasing War Against all Private
M0nopOlies

Private monopOlies are indefensible
and intolera BILE. They destroy COM
petition, control the price Of all ma
terial and OF the finished product,
thus robbing both the producer and
consumer They limit the employ
ment Of labor and arbitrarily fix the
terms and conditions thereof. deprive
individual enterprise and small CAPT
tai OF their opportunity for better
ment.
They are the most efficient means
Vet devised for appropriatin@ the
fruits OF industry to the benefit of
few at the expense OF the many and
unless their insatiate greed i checked
all wealth will be aggregated in a few
hands and the republic destroyed.
The dishonest paltering with the trust
evil by the republican party i'll state
and national platforms is conclusive
proof OF the truth OF the charge that
trusts are the legitimate product Of
republican policies. that they are foS-
tered by republican laws, and that
they are protected by the republican
administration in return for cam
paign subscriptions and political sup
port.
We pledge the democratic party to
an INCREASING warfare III nation, state
and city, against private monopoly
in every form. Existing laws against
trusts must be enforced and more
stringent ones must be enacted pro
viding for publicity as to the affairs
OF corporations engaged in Interstate
commerce requiring all corporations
OF the state of their origin, that they
have no water in their stock. and
that they have not attempted and
are not attempting to mOnopolize
any branch of business or the prOduc-
ton OF any articles of merchandise
and the whole constitutional power
of congress over interstate com
merce, the mails and all modes OF
| interstate communication shall be ex-
ercised by the enactment of compre
hensive laws upon the subject oi
trusts. Tariff laws should beamend-
ed by putting products OF trusts on
the free list to prevent monopoly
under the plea of protection.

Maintain Monroe Doctrine and Over
throw MilitdriSm.

The declaration in the republican
platform adopted at the Philadelphia
convention held in June. 1900. that
the republican party 'steadfastly
adheres to the policy announced in
the Monroe doctrine. is manifestly
insincere and deceptive. This pro
fession is contradicted by the avowed
policy of that party in opposition to
the Monroe doctrine. to acquire and
hold sovereignty over large areas OF
territory and large numbers OfpeOple
in the eastern hemisphere.
We insist on the strict maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine and in all its
integrity both in letter and in spirit,
rs necessary to prevent the extension
OF the European authority on this
continent and as essential to our SUI
premacy i'll American affairs. At the
same time we declare that no Ameri-
can people shall ever be held by force
in unwilling subsection to European
authority.
We oppose militarism. 1t means
conquest abroad and intimidation
and oppression and at home. 1t
means the strong arm which has
ever been fatal to free institutions.
1t is what millions OF our citizens
have fed from in Europe. 1t will inn

I THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Democratic
Party of the United States Of America
in National Convention Assembled
July 9Th, 1900.
enments Derive Their Just Powers From the Consent of
the Governed" -DecIaraton of Independence

We favor immediate declaration of
the nation : purpose to give to the
FilipinOs, first, a stable form OF gov
eminent; second, independence. and.
third, protection from outside infer
ence such as has been givenfOr nearly
a century to the republics OF central
and South America.
The greedy commerciaIism which
dictated the Philippine policy of the
republican administration attempts
to justify it with the plea that it will
pay, but even this sordid and I'M
worthy plea falls when brought to
the test OF facts. The war of Grim
inal aggression against the Philip
pines, entailed an annual expense OF
many millions, has already cost more
than any possible profit that could
accrue from the entire Philippine
trade for years to come Further
more, when trade is extended at the
expense of liberty the price is always
too high.
We are not opposed to territorial
expansion. when it takes in desirable
territory which can be erected into
states in the union, and whose people
are willing and fit to become Ameri-
can citizens. We favor trade eXpan-
| sion by every peaceful and legitima te
means. But we are unalterab bly,
opposed to the Selling or purchasing
OF distant islands, to be governed
| outside the constitution and whose
people can never become citizens.
We are in favor OF extending the
republic influence among the ma
tions. but believe that influence
should be extended not by force anC
violence, but through the persuasive
power of high and honorable exam
pie,
The Importance of other questions
now pending before the American
people is in nOwise diminished anC
the democratic party takes no back
ward step from its position on them
but the burning issue OF imperialism
growing out of the Spanish war in
wolves the very existence OF the
republic and the destruction of oul
free institutions. We regard it a
the paramount issue of the cam
paign.

Trusts and Dingley Tariff Condemned

The failure of the present republi-
can administration. with an absolute
control over all the branches of the
national government, to enact any
legislation designed to prevent or
even curtail the absorbing power OF
trusts and illegal combinations. or
to enforce the antitrust laws already
on the statute books, prove the III
sincerity of the high sounding phrases
of the republican platform. Corpora
tions should be protected in all
their rights and their legitimate in
terests should be respected, but any
attempt by corporations to inter-
fere with the public affairs OF the peo-
pie or to control the sovereignty
which creates them, should be forbid
den under such penalties "a will make
such attempts impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as a trust breeding measure, skill
fully devised to give the few favors
which they do not deserve, aud to
place upon the many burdens which
they should not bear.
We favor such an enlargement OF
the scope OF the Interstate commerce
law as will enable the commission to
protect individuals and communities
from determinations and the public
from unjust and unfair transporter
ton rates.
We reaftirm and indorse the princi-
pies of the national democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago in 1896.
