Baptist.
Greenwood, July /, 1900.
Points Of The Platform.
Synopsis of the Leading Issues of
the Campaign.

Reatfirmation of allegiance to
the constitution.
Government not based on the
consent of the governed is
tyranny.
Porto Rican law enacted by the
Republican Congress is denounced,
as 1t taxes without representation,
people who were pledged to honest
treatment.
Prompt fulfllment of our
promises to the Cuban people is
demanded, that the raid of carpet
baggers may be cut short.
Policy Of the present admins
tratlon IN the Philippines is con-
demned and denounced because it
puts the United States in the false
and un-Americun position of
crushing with military force the
efforts of former allies to achieve
liberty and self,government.
Favors election of United States
senator's by the people.
Opposes government by in
junction, denounces the black
list and favors arbitration.
Recommends that Congress
create department of labor in
charge of secretary with seat
in the cabinet.
insists on the reduction and
speedy repeal of the war taxes
and return to the time honored
Democratic policy of strict
economy in governmental expendi-
lures.
Demands the continuance and
strict enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion law and its applications
to the same classes of all Asiatio
races:
Favors the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control of the
Nicaraguan canal by the United
States, and denounces the insin-
cerity of the plank in the national
Republican platform for an
isthmian canal in the face of the
failure of the Republican party to
pass the bill pending in Cong>
ress.
Views with Indignation the pur-
pose of England to overwhelm
with force the South African Re-
pnblics, and speaking for the en-
tire American nation except its
Republican ohiceholders, and for
all freemen everywhere, it extends
our sympathies to the heroic
burghers in their unequal struggle
to maintain their liberty and in>
dependence.
A strict maintenance of the
Monroe Doctrine is demanded as
necessary to prevent extensions of
European authority on this con-
tinent and as essential to our
supremacy in American affairs.
Condemns the Dingley tariff as
trust breeding measure, skillfully
devised to give the few favors
which they do not desire, and to
place upon the many burdens
which they should not bear.
Opposes militarlsm as it means
conquest abroad and intimidation
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 fled from in Europe.
Private monopolies are desig,
mated as indefensible and intoler>
able, as they destroy competition,
contlol the price of all material
and of the finished product, thus
robbing both producer and con-
sumer and lessen the employment
of labor and arbitrarily fix the

he Hdis nothing materially to his
former communication. 1t is true
that he rcitcrates his testimony to

Keys for the present.
am sorry that Col Hoyt Is not
satisfied with my statement of the
case, and that be felt called upon
to say anything on the subject.
My contention is that Col Hovt
from about 1886 to 1883 was in
favor of the high license method
of controlling the liquor traffic,
because he regarded prohibition
impracticable in the State.
In proof of my contention |
have simply to submit, in the first
place, the editorial in the Baptist
Courier in 1886, in which high
license was advocated as against
low license, prohibition at that
time being regarded by that paper
as lmpracticable. While it is true
that Co Hoyt himself did not
actually write the editorial, he
was the senior editor and did not.
30 far as | know, has not repudi-
ated the sentiments of that EDITOR
lal. In my review of that editor
lal | stated the position of the
Courier as follows: "You advise 4
prohibitionists where prohibition Is
impracticable to join the advocates
of high license, and by this means
In some measure control the liquor

accompanied the publication of my
review made no exception to my
statement, but said: "Bro Gard,

wrong, but if we are he has not
convinced us of the fact"
l have to submit IN the second
place that in the discussion which
occurred during the year 1883
between myself and the Baptist
Courier in the columns of that
paper the same principle of action
in general was advocated. 1t is
that the issue was not high license
against low license, but it was the
question as to whether prohibition
should be made practical issue,
and the Courier argued against
making it an issue, and so. gave
