REPUBLICAN ExTRAyAGANcE.

We denounce the lavish appropriations
of recent Republican Congresses which
have kept taxes high and which threaten
the perpetuation OF the oppressive war
levies. We oppose the accumulation OF
a surplus to be squandered in such bare
faced frauds upon the taxpayers as the
shipping subsidy bill which, under the
false pretense of prospecting American
ship-build:ng. would put unearned mil
lions into the pockets of favorte con-
tributors to the Republican campaign
fund. We favor the reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes and return to
the time-honored Democratic policy of
strict economy in governmental expendi-
lures.
Believing that our most cherished in
sttutions are in great peril, that the
very existence of our constitutional re-
public is at stake and that the decision
now to be reached will determine wheth-
er our children are to enjoy those blessed
privileges OF free government which have
made the United States great, prosperous
and honored. we earnestly ask for the
foregoing declaration Of principles the
hearty support of the liberty loving
American people, regardless of previous
party affiliations.

tenn maue by the American people Tor

maintain a bimetalllc price level at
the present legal ratio OF l6 TO /, with
out waiting Tor the aid or consent OF

We denounce the currency Dill en-
acted at the last session or Congress
as a step forward in the Republican
policy, which aims to discredlt the SOW
ereign right or the national govern
ment to issue all money whether com
or paper, and to bestow upon national
banks the power to issue and control
the volume OF paper money for their
own benefit A permanent national
bank currency, secured by government
bonds, must have permanent DEBT 10
rest upon and if the bank currency is
to increase with population and Dusl-
ness the debt must also increase. Inc
Republican currency scheme is there
fore a scheme for fastening upon the
taxpayers a perpetual and growing
debt~for the benefit of the banks. We
are opposed to this private corpora
ton paper circulated as money, Dut
without legal tender qualities and de-
mand the retirement OF the national
bank notes as fast as this government
paper or silver certificates can be sub
Stituted for them.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

In the interest of American labor
and the uplifting of the workingman,
as the cornerstone of the prosperity or
one century, we recommend that Con-
gress create a department of labor In
charge of a secretary, with seat in
the cabinet, believing that the eleva-
ton of the American laborer will bring
with it increased production and in
creased prosperity to our country at
home and to our commerce abroad.
We are proud of the courage and
fidelity of the American soldiers and
sailors in all our wars; we favor I'D
eral pensions to them and their de-
pendents and we reiterate the position
taken in the Chicago platform in 1896
that the fact of enlistment and service
shall be deemed conclusive evidence
against disease and disability before

NICARAGUA CANAL.

We favor the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control OF the
Nicaragua canal by the United states,
and we denounce the insincerity Of the
plank in the Republican platform for
an Isthmian canal in face OF the fail
ure of the Republican party to pass the
bill pending in Congress.
We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty as a surrender OF American
rights and interests, not to be toll
Grated BY the American people.
We denounce the failure of the Re-
publican party to carry out its pledges
to grant statehood TO the territories OF
Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma,
and we promise the people OF these ter
ritories immediate statehood and home
rule during their condition as terri
tories. and we favor home rule and a
territorial form of government for
Alaska and Porto Rico.
We favor an intelligent system Of
improving the arid lands of the west
storing the waters for purposes Of ir-
rigation and the holding of such lands
for actual settlers.
We favor the continuance
and strict enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion law and it's
application to the same classes
of all Asiaffc races.

seriously injured are being cared for

There is still no information as to
the owner Of the child's foot found at
the scene of the explosion The foot
is apparently that of a boy about IA
years old, but absolutely nothing has
been found to connect ii with any per-
son, living or dead. No one has been
reported as missing and the only theory
seems TO be that it is the foot of some
tramp boy who was blown 70 pieces.

RIGHTS OF CORPORATIONS.

Corporations should be protected in
all their rights and their legitimate
interests should be respected, but any
attempt by corporations to interfere
with the public affairs of the people
or to control the sovereignty which Gre

such penalties as will make such at
tempts impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as trust-breeding measure. skilfully
devised TO give the few favors which
they DO not deserve and to place upon

commerce law as will enable the com

communities from discrimination and
the public from unjust and unfair

We, the representatives of the Demo.
cratic party of the United States, as
sembled in national convention on the
anniversary of the adoption of thu
declaration of independence, do reaf
firm our faith in that immortal procla
nation of inalienable rights of mar
and our allegiance to the constitution
framed in harmony Herewith by thu
fathers of the republic.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
We hold with the United
States supreme court that the
Declaration of Independence is
the spirit of our government of
which the Constitution is the
form and letter. We declare
again that all governments
instituted among men derive
their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed. that any
government not based upon the
consent of the governed is
tyranny; and that to impose
upon any people government
methods of imperialism for
those of a republic. We hold
that the Constitution follows
the Jag and denounces the doc
trine that an executive or con-
gress deriving their existence
and their powers from the Con-
stitutiOn can exercise lawful
authority beyond it, or in viola
ton of it. We assert that no
nation can long endure half re-
public and half empire, and we
warn the American people that
Imperialism abroad will lead
quickly and inevitably to des-
potism 1T home.
Believing in these fundamental prin-
ciples, we denounce the Porto Rican
law enacted by Republican Congress
against the protest and opposition of
the Democratic minority as a bold and
open violation of the nations organic
law and a fragrant breach Of the ma
tional good faith. 1t imposes upon the
people of Porto Rico a government
without their consent and taxation
without representation. 1t dishonors
the American people by repudiating a
solemn pledge made in their behalf by
the commanding general of our army,
which the Porto RicanS welcomed to a
peaceful and unrestricted occupation
of their land. 1t doomed to poverty
and distress a people whose helpless
ness appeals with peculiar force to our
justice and magnanimity In this the
first act of it's imperialistic programme,
the Republican party seeks to commit
the United States to a colonial policy
inconsistent with republican institu-
tons and condemned by the Supreme
Court in numerous decisions.
