Several planks of the labor plat
form are devoted to questions in which
the laboring classes have an immediate
interest, but which more remotely eff
feet our entire population While what
is generally known as government by
injunction is at present directed chief
ly against the employees of corpora
tons, when there is a disagreement be-
tween them and their employer. it in
wolves a principle which concerns
every one. The purpose Of the in
junction in such cases is to substitute
trial by judge for trial by jury, and is
a covert blow at the jury system. The
abolition of government by injunction
is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation of the court, as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
in defending trial by jury. says:
THE impartial administration of
justice, which secures both our persons,
and our properties is the great end of
civil society. but if that be entrusted
entirely to the magistracy, a select
body of men. and those selected by
the prince such as enjoy the highest
offices Of the state their decisions in
spite of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those of their own rank. and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few should be
always attentive to the interests and
good of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection of property, they
can be made more severe. but citi-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury of his peers.

The Financial Plank.
The platform reiterates the demand
contained in the Chicago platform for
an American financial system made
by the American people for them
selves. The purpose of such system
is to restore and maintain bimetallic
level of .prices, and in order that there
may be no uncertainty as to the meth
cd of restoring bimetallism, the specif-
ic declaration in favor of free and I'M
limited coinage at the existing ratio
of 16 to l, Independent of the action
of other nations, is repeated. In 1896
the Republican party recognized the
necessity for bimetallism by pledging
the party to an earnest effort to Sc
cure an International agreement for
the free coinage of silver, and the
president. Immediately after his in
auguration, by authority of congress,
appointed commission composed of
distinguished citizens to visit Europe
and solicit foreign aid Secretary Hay,
in a letter written to Lord Alderman
in November, 1898, and afterwards pub
lished in England, declared that at
that time the president and majority
of his cabinet still believed in the great
desirability of an international agree
ment for the restoration of the double
standard, but that it did not seem
opportune to reopen the negotiations
just then. The financial law enacated
less than year ago contains a con-
Guiding section declaring that the
measure was not intended to stand in
the way of the restoration of bimetal-
lism, whenever it could be done by
cooperation with other nations The
platform submitted to the last Repub-
lican convention with the Endorsement
of the administration again suggested
the possibility of securing foreign aid
in restoring silver.
Now the Republican party, for the
first time, openly abandons its ad-
vocacy of the double standard, and in
dorses the monetary system which it
has SO often and SO emphatically con-
demned. The Democratic party, on the
contrary, remains the steadfast advo-
cate of the gold and silver coinage of
the constitution, and is not willing
that otner nations shall determine for
us the time and manner of restoring
silver to its ancient place as stand
ard money. The ratio of 16 to / is
not only the ratio now existing be-
| tween all the gold and silver dollars in
circulation in this country, a ratio
/ which even the Republican admins
tration has not attempted to change
but it is the only ratio advocated by
those who are seeking to reopen the
minis. Whether the senate, now hos.
| tile to bimetallism, can be changed
during this campaign or the campaign
of 1902 can only be determined after
the votes are counted, but neither the

Monroe Doctrine.

Monroe Doctrine.
The doctllne enuucAalea by Monroe,
and approved by succeeding presidents,
is essential to the welfare of the
United States. The continents of
North and South America are dedica-
ted to the development of free govern
ment. One republic after another has
been established, until to-day mon
archial idea has barely a foothold in
the new world.
While it is not the policy of this
country to interfere Were amicable
relations exist between European
countries and their dependencies In
America, our people would look with
disfavor upon any attempt on the part
of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forcible sovereignty
over the people living on this side Of
the Atlantic.
The position taken by the Republic
can leaders, and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the Presidency. viz: That we cannot
protect a nation from outside inter-
ference without exercising sovereignty
over its people, is an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine, for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
the proposition to give to the Filipinos
both independence and protection, 1t
is equally applicable to the Republics
Of Central and South America. If this
government cannot lend it's strength to
another Republic without making sub
jects of its people, then we must
either withdraw our protection from
serb them. Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal to it's responsibility, Eu-
ropean nations have for centuries ex-
plotted their wards, and it is sig
nificant fact that the Republican party
should accept the European idea of a
protectorate, at the same time that it
adopts a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandon
ment of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
three-quarters of century. The ex-
pense to us has been practically moth
ing, but the protection has been beyond
value to our sister Republics. If a
Filipino Republic is erected upon the
ruins of Spanish tyranny, it's protec-
ton by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
be willing for any other European ma
ton to have the islands, neither would
any European nation be willing to pro-
woke war with us in order to obtain
possession of the islands. If we assert
sovereignty over the Filipinos we will
have to defend that sovereignty by
force, and the Filipinos will be our
enemies; if we protect them from out
side interference, they will defend
themselves and will be our friends. If
they show as much determination in
opposing the sovereignty of other ma
lions as they have shown in opposing
our sovereignty. they will not require
much assistance from us.
