 Hafflson was the daughter of the late l1on' Thomas B. Osborne She was porn'in Fairfield, Conn, and lived there until her father removed to this city In ls54. She was married in 1856, and resided in New Haven from that time, passing the summer months of each year in Vermont. She was for many years an invalid.

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-07-12

We. the representatives of the
democratic party of the United
States, assembled in national
convention on the anniversary
of the adoption of the Declare
tion of Independence, do re-
affirm our faith in that immortal
proclamation of the inalienable
rights of man, and our allegi-
ance TO the constitution framed
in harmony Herewith by the
fathers OF the republic.
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 gov
ernments instituted among men
derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed;
that any government not based
upon the consent of the govern
ed is a tyranny, and that to
impose upon any people a gov
ernment of force is to substitute
the methods of Imperialism for
those of a republic.
We hold that the constitu-
ton follows the flag, and de.
nounce the doctrine that an ex-
ecutive or congress deriving
their existence and their pow.
ers from the constitution can
exercise lawful authority be-
You'd it, or in violation of it.

lican platform adopted at the
Philadelphia convention held
in June, 1900, that the republi
can party 'steadfastly adheres
to the policy announced in the
Monroe doctrine" is manifest y
insincere and deceptive. This
profession is contradicted by
the avowed policy Of that par
ty in opposition to the spirit of
the Monroe doctrine to acquire
and hold sovereignty over large
areas of territory and large
numbers of people in the east.
ern hemisphere.
We Insist on the strict main.
tenance of the Monroe doctrine
and in all it's integrity, both in
letter and in spirit as necessary
TO prevent the extension of the
European authority on this con-
tinent and as essential to our
supremacy in American affairs.
AT the same time we declare
that no American people shall
ever be held by force in unwill-
ing subsection to European au-
thority.
We oppose militarism. 1t
means conquest abroad and in
timidation and oppression 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
impose upon our peace-lovlng
people a large standing army,
an unnecessary burden of taxa
tion and a constant menace to
their liberties. A small stand.
ing army and a we'll disciplin-
ed state militia are amply suffi-
cient in time of peace. This re.
public has no place for a vast
military service and conscrip-
tion. When the nation is in dan.
ger the volunteer soldier is his
country's best defender. The
national guard of the United
States should ever be CHERISH
ed in the patriotic hearts of a
free people. Such organiza-
tionS are ever an element of
strength and safety. For the
first time in our history and
coeval with the Philippine con-
quest has there been a whole.

and as a subversiou of the an
Gent and fixed principles of a

INCREASING WAR AGAINST ALL
PRIVATE MoNoPoLIES.
Private monopolies are indie
fensible and intolerable. They
destroy competition, control
the price of all material and of
the finished product, thus rob-
bling both producer and con-
sumer. They limit the employ
ment of labor and arbitrarily
fix the terms and conditions
thereof, deprive individual en-.
ergy and small capital of their
opportunity for betterment.
They are the most efficient
means yet devised for appropri'
ating the fruits of industry to
the benefit of the few at the ex.
peuse of the many. and unless
their insatiate greed is checked
all wealth will be aggregated
in a few hands and the republic
destroyed. The dishonest pal.

We assert that no nation can
long endure half republic and
half empire, and we warn the
American people that imperial
ism abroad will lead quickly
and inevitably to despotism at
home.
IMPERIALISM LEADS TO DESPOT
Believing in these fundament.
al principles, we denounce the
Porto Rico law, enacted by a
republican congress against the
protest and opposition of the
democratic minority, a bold and
open violation of the nations
organic law, and a fragrant
breach of the national good
faith. 1t imposes upon the PEG.
pie of Porto Rico government
without their consent, a taxa
tion without representation. 1t
dishonors the American people
by repudiating solemn pledge
made in their behalf by the
commanding general OF our
army. which the Porto Ricans
welcomed to peaceful and un.
resisted occupation of their
land. 1t doomed to poverty
and distress a people whose
helplessness appeals with pecu.
liar force to our justice and
magnanimity. In this the first
act of its imperialistic pro.
gramme, the republican party
seeks to commit the United
States to a colonial policy, in,
consistent with republican in.
situations and condemned by
the supreme court in numerous
decisions.
We demand the prompt,and
honest fultillment of our pledges
to the Cuban people and the
world. that the United States
has no disposition nor intention
TO exercise sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over the Is.
land of Cuba except for it's pac-
ification. The war ended near
ly two years ago, profound
peace reigns over all the Island
and still the administration
keeps the government of the
island from its people. while

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-07-12

We denounce the currency
bill enacted at the last session
of congress as step forward
in the republican policy which
aims to discredit the sovereign
right of the national govern
ment to issue all money, wheth-
err coin 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 gov.
eminent bonds, must have a per-
manent debt to rest upon, and
if the bank currency is to in
crease with population and bus
mess, the debt must also in
crease. The republican curren-
cy scheme is, therefore, a
scheme for fastening upon the
taxpayers a perpetual and
growing debt for the benefit of
the banks.
We are opposed to this pri
vate corporation paper circulat-
ing as money, but without legal
tender qualities, and demand
the retirement of the national
bank notes as fast as govern
ment paper or silver certificates
can be substituted for them. e..
We favor an amendment to
the federal constitution provid-
ing for the election of United
States senator's by direct vote
of the people, and we favor di-
rect legislation wherever prac-

AGAINST GOVERNMENT BY IN
JUNCTION AND THE
BLACKLIST.
We are opposed to govern
ment by injunction. We de-
nounce the blacklist and favor
arbitration as a means of set
Ting disputes between corpora
tions and their employees.
In the interest of Americans
labor and the upbuildlng of the
working man, as the corner
stone of the prosperity of our
country, we recommend that
congress create a department
of labor, in charge of a secre--
tary with seat in the cabinet
believing that the elevation Of
the American laborer will bring.
with il increased production
and increased prosperity to our
country at home, and to our

We are proud of the courage,
and fidelity of the American
soldiers and sailors in all our
wars; we favor liberal PENSIONS

and we reiterate the position
taken in the Chicago platform
in 1896 that the fact of enlist
ment and service shall, be deem
ed conclusive evidence against
disease and disability before en-

struction, ownership and con-

GIVE FILIPINOS INDEPENDENCE
AND A PROTECTORATE.

AND A PROTECTORATE.
We condemn aud denounce
the Philippine policy OF the
present administration. 1t has
embroiled the republic in an un-
necessary war, sacrificed the
lives of many of it's noblest
sons. and placed the United
States, previously known and
appiauded throughout the
world as the champion of free.
dom, in the false and un.Amer.
lean position of crushing with
military force the efforts Of our
former allies TO achieve liberty
and self-government. The Fill.
ipinos can not be citizen with
out endangering our civiliza-
ton; they can not be subjects
without imperilling our form of
government and as we are not
willing to surrender our civil.
cation or to convert the repub.
lie into an empire, we favor an
immediate declaration Of the
nations purpose to give the Fill
ipinos. first, a stable form Of
government: second, independ-
ence, and, third, protection
from outside interference such
as has been given for nearly a
century to the republics Of Cen
trail and South America.
The greedy commercialism
which dictated the Philippine
policy of the republican admin
istration attempts to justify it
with the plea, that it will pay,
but even this sordid and un-
worthy plea fails when brought
to the test of facts. The war
of criminal aggression
against the Filipinos, entailing
an annual expense of many mil
lions, has already cost more
than any possible profit that
could accrue from the entire
Philippine trade for years to
come. Furthermore, when trade
is extended at the expense of
,, liberty the price is always too
high.
We are not opposed to terri,
torial 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
American citizens. We favor
trade expansion by every peace
full and legitimate means. But
we are unalterably opposed to
the Selling or purchasing of dis,
tant islands. to be governed
outside the constitution and
whose people can never become
citizens.
We are in favor of extending
the republics influence among
the nations, but believe that in.
1uence should be extended not
by force and violence, but
through the persuasive power
of high and honorable exam.
pie.
The Importance of other ques-
tions now pending before the
American people is in nowise
diminished and the democratic
party takes no backward step
from it's position on them, but
the burning issue of imperial.
ism growing out of the Spanish
war involves the very existence
of the republic and the destruc.
ton of our free institutions.
We regard it as the paramount
issue of the campaign.
