Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 23.-The
Platform adopted by the democrats IN

of our matchless leaders, VIM. ]. Bryan
and Adlai E. Stevenson. The consti-
tuition Of our country provides for a
government based upon the broad and
human principle of government by
consent of the governed; that under
this constitution and under these
principles we have founded and
maintained the most enlightened, most
humane and best government the
world has ever seen. We denounce,
therefore, the abandonment of this
principle by the Mckinley administra-
ton, and the substitution in its stead
of monarchical system of govern
ment by force.
1--WE expressly declare our opposition
to the Mckinley policy of establishing
colonial dependencies as adjuncts to
our republic. We denounce that pol
icy as revolutionary, destructive of the
fundamental principles of free
government, and an abandonment of
that splendid system upon which was
founded our free institutions. We will
to establish military system which
necessarily leads to compulsory mill
tary service as an obligation of citi-
zenship and will strenuously oppose
the maintenance of a large standing
army, unnecessarily, with all of its at
tendant burdens of oppressive taxa
ton. We denounce the attitude which
the Mckinley administration has as
sumed toward the gigantic aggrega-
tions of capital commonly known as
trusts"
The other resolutions favor legisla-
ton equalizing the tax laws, upon a
basis Of constitutional uniformity, and
revision of the laws relating to trans
portation rates and license fees Of
quasi-public corporations. Opposition
is expressed to the joint resolution
amending the constitution vesting con-
troll of the public schools in the hands
Of the state superintendent, also to the
joint resolution for the general
banking law. The present caucus law
is condemned, and a revision favored
resulting in the direct method of nom
nations.
