ministration in return for cam
paign subscriptions and political
support.
NATIONAL CONTROL.
We pledge the Democratic party
to an unceasing warfare i'll nation,
State and city against private mo-
nopoly in every form. Existing
laws against trusts must be enforc-
ed, and more stringent ones must
be enacted providing for publicity
as TO the affairs of corporations
engaged in interstate commerce
and requiring all corporations to
show, before doidg business out
side of the State of their origin,
that they have no water in their
stock, and that they have not at
tempted, and are not attempting,
to mOnopolizc any branch of bus
mess or the production of any art
icles of merchandise, and the whole
constitutional power of Congress
over interstate commerce, the mails
and all modes of Interstate com
municatiou shall be exercised by
the enactment of comprehensive
laws upon the subject of trusts.
Tariff laws should be amended by
putting the products of trusts up
on the free list to prevent monopo-
~ under the plea of protection.
The failure of the present adj
ministration, with an absolute
control over all the branches OF
the national Government, to enact
any legislation designed to prevent
or even curtail the absorbing pow
er of trusts and illegal combina-
tons, or to enforce the antitrust
laws already on the statute books,
proves the insincerity of the high
sounding phrases of the Republi-
can platform,
Corporations should be protect
ed in all their rights and their le-
gitimate interest should be re-
spected, but any attempt by cor
porations to interfere with the pub
lie affairs of the people or to con
troll the sovereignty which creates
them should be forbidden under
such penalties as will make such
attempts impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff
law as IA trust-breeding measure
skillfully devised to give the few
favors which they do not deserve
and to place upon the many bur-
dens which they should not bear.
We favor such an enlargement of
the scope of the interstate com
merce law as will enable the com
mission to protect individuals and
communities from determinations
and the public from unjust and
unfair transportation rates.
FINANCIAL PLANK.
We rcatlirn and indorse the
principles of the national Demo
cratic platform adopted ut Chicago
in 1896, and we reiterate the de-
mand of that platform for an A
merican financial system, made by
the American people for themselves,
which shall restore and maintain n
bimetallic price level, and as part
of such system the immediate res
toration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of l6 to with
out waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation.
We denounce the currency bill
enacted at the last session of Con-
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1900-07-12

high and which threaten the per-
petuation of the oppressive war
levies. We oppose the accumula-
ton of a surplus to be squandered
in such barcfaced frauds upon the
taxpayers as the shipping subsidy
bill, which, under the false pre-
tense of prosp ering American ship
building, would put unearned mil
lions into the pockets of favoritc
contributors to the Republican
campaign fund. We favor the re-
duction and speedy repeal of the
war taxes and return TO the
time honored Democratic policy of
strict economy in governmental
expenditures.
Believing that our most cherish.
ed institutions are in great peril
that the very existence of our con-
stitutional Republic is at stake and
that the decision now to be rem
dered will determine whether OF
not our children are to enjoy those
blessed privileges of free govern
ment which have made the United
States great, prosperous and hon
ored, we earnestly ask for the fore
going declaration of principles, the
hearty support of the liberty-lov.
ing American people, regardless
of previous party affiliations.

DEMOCRATS do not lack live is
sues for this campaign, and by no
means the least of them is the eX-
traordinary extravaganza of the
government under the Mckinley
administration. In the language
Of Representative Richardson, of
Tenn, the able Democratic leader
of the House and Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee, "The cost of
running this government has been
$500, 900, 000m more annually for the
last three years than it was before
the war with Spain was fought. 1t
is a serious question whether this
vast increase is fully warranted.
Was the war with Spain worth
5000, O00, 900 to the American pco-
pie? If the war wasn't worth 5000
600, 900, it is for the Republican
party to explain why our expendi-
lures should not be materially re-
duced." That is straight talk and
strictly true, If the people wish
to continue reckless and extrava-
CANT expenditures just because
taxation produces the money, they
will continue the Republican party
in power. But if they wish the
government administered on the
same economical system which
rules in every well-conducted bust
ness establishment, they will turn
the government over to the Demo
cratic party, which stands for re-
trenchment in public expenditures,
This issue is not likely to be lost
sight of.

THE TERRITORIES.

We denOunce the failure of the
Republican party to carry out its
pledges to grant statehood to the
Territories of Arizona, New MeXi-
go and Oklahoma, and we promise
the people of those Territories the
statehood and home rule during
their conditions as Territories, and
we favor home rule and a terrific.
rial form of government for Alas
ka and Porto Rico.
We favor an intelligent system
of improving the arid lands of the
West, storing the waters for pur-
poses of irrigation and the holding
of such lands for actual settlers.
We favor the continuance and
strict enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion law and its application
to the same classes of all Asiatic
races.
jefferson said: peace, com
merce and honesty, friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances
with none" We approve this
wholesome doctrine and earnestly
protest against the Republican
departure which has involved us
in so-called world politics, includ-
ing the diplomacy of Europe and
the intrigue and land-grabbing of
Asia, and we especially condemn
the ill-concealed Republican ALI
ance with England, which must
mean discrimination against other
friendly nations, and which has al
ready stihed the nations voice
while liberty is being stiHed in AT
rica.

as n subversion of the ancient and
fixed principles of free people.
TRUSTS.
Private monopolies are indefen-
sible and intolcrable. They de-
stroy competition, control the
price of all material and of the
finished product, thus robbing
both producer and consumer. They
lessen the employment of labor
and arbitrarily fix terms and con-
ditions thereof, deprive individual
energy and stall capital of their
opportunity for betterment.
They are the most efficient means
yet devised for appropriatlng the
fruits of industry to the benatit OF
the few ut the expense of the many
and unless their insatiate greed is
checked all wealth will be aggre-
gated in few hands and the Re.
public destroyed.
The dishonest paltering with the
trust evil by the Republican party
in State and national platforms is
conclusive proof of the truth OF
the charge that trusts are the le-
gitimate product of Republican
policies, that they are fostered by
Republican laws and that they are
protected by the Republican adj
ministration in return for cam
paign subscriptions and political
support.

MlllTARlSM.

We oppose militarism. 1t means
conquest abroad and intimidation
and oppression ut home. 1t means
the strong arm which has ever been
fatal to free institutions. 1t is
what millions of our citizens have
fled from in Europe. 1t will inn
pose upon our peace-loving people
n large standing army, and unnec-
essary burden of taxation and II
constant menace to their liberties.
a small standing army and II
well-disciplined State militia are
sufficient in time of peace. This
Republic has no place for Il vast
military service and CONSUMPTION.
When the nation is in danger the
volunteer soldier is his country's
best defender, The national guard
of the United States should ever
be cherished in the patriotic hearts
of a free people. Such organiza-
tons are ever an element of stength
and safety, For the first time in
our history and coeval with the
Philippine conquest has there been
a wholesale departure from our
time-honored and approved system
of volunteer organization. We
denounce it as unamerican, UNI
democratic and unrepublican. aud

rency secured by Government
bonds must have permanent debt
to rest upon, and if the bank cur
rency is to increase with popula-
ton and business the debt must
also increase. The Republican
currency scheme is, therefore, a
scheme for fastening upon the tax
payers a perpetual and growing
debt for the benefit of the banks.
We are opposed to this private cor
poration paper circulated as money,
but without legal tender qualities,
and demand the retirement of the
national bank notes as fast as
Government paper or silver certif-
icaies can be substituted for them.
We favor an amendment to the
Federal Constitution providing for
the election of United States Sen
ators by direct vote of the people,
and we favor direct legislation
wherever practicable.
FOR LABOR.
We are opposed to government
by injunction; we denounce the
blacklist and favor arbitration as
a means of settling disputes be-
tween corporations and their EN-
ployes.
In the interest of American la
Dor and the upbuilding of the
workingman, as the cornerstone of
the prosperity of our country, we
recommend that Congress create a
department of labor in charge of
a secretary with IA seat in the Cab
met, believing that the eleyatio II
of the American laborer will bring
with it increased production and
increased prosperity to our coun-
try at home and to our commerce
abroad.
We are proud of the fidelity of
the American soldiers and sailors
in all our wars; we favor liberal
pensions to them and their DEEPEN
dents, and we rcitcrate the posi-
ton taken in the Chicago platform
in lS9G-that the fact of enlist
ment and service shall he deemed
conclusive evidence against disease
and disability before enlistment.
NICARAGUA CANAL.
We favor the immediate con-
struction, ownership and control
of the Nicaraguan Canal by the
United States and we denOunce
the insincerity of the plank in the
Republican national platform for
an isthmian canal in the face of
the failure of the Republican ma
jority to pass the bill pending in
Congress.
We condemn the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty as II surrender of Amer
lean rights and interests, not to
be tolerated by the American peo-
pie.
