and illegal com binations, or to enforce
the antitrust laws already on the
statute books prove the insincerity of
the high sounding phrases of the Re-
publican platform.
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 should be for
hidden under such penalties as will
make such attempts impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as trust-breeding measure skillfully
devised to give the few favors which
they do not deserve and to place upon
the many burdens which they should
not bear.
We favor such an enlargement of
the scope of the interstate commerce
law as will enable the commission to
protect individuals and communities
from determinations and the public
from unjust and unfair trans portation
rates.
We reaffirm and indorse the princi-
pies of the national Democratic plat
form at Chicago in 1896 and we reiter-
ate the demand Of that platform for an
American financial system made by
the American people for themselves,
which shall restore and maintain bi-
metallic price level and as part of such
system the immediate restoration of
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the present legal ratio of
16 to l without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation.
We denounce the currency bill en-
acted at the last session of congress
as a step forward in the Republican
policy which aims to discredit the
sovereignty of the national govern
ment to issue all money, whether coin
or paper, and to bestow upon nation
al banks the power to, issue and con-
troll the volume of paper money for
their own benefit A permanent ma
tional bank currency, secured by gov
z4ernments bonds, must have a perma,
nent debt to rest upon, and if the bank
currency is to increase with popula'
tion and business, the debt must also
increase. The Republican currency
scheme is therefore scheme to fas
ten upon the taxpayers a perpetual
and growing debt for the benefit of
the banks. We are opposed to this
private corporation 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.

the false and un-American position of
crushing with military force the efforts
of our former allies to achieve liberty
and self-government. The Filipinos
cannot be citizens without endanger-
ing our civilization; they cannot be
subjects without importing our form
of government, and as we are not will
ing to surrender our civilization or to
convert the republic into an empire
we favor an immediate declaration of
the nation S purpose to give to the Fill
ipinos, first. a sta ble form of govern
ment;. second, Independence; and
third, protection from outside inter-
ference. such as have been given for
nearly a century to the republics of
Central and Sou tn America.
The greedy commercialism which
dictated tho Philippine policy of the
Republican administration 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, en-
failing an annual expense of many
millions, 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 territorial
expansion when it takes in desirable
territory which can be erected into
states in the Union, whose people are
willing and fit to become American
citizens. We favor trade expansion
by every peaceful and legitimate
means, butw are unalterably opposed
to the Selling or purchasing Of distant
islands to be governed ontside of the
constitution, and whose people can nev-
er become citizens
We are in favor of extending the re-
public's influence among the nations,
but believe thatinfluence should be ex
tended, not by force and violence, but
through the persuasive power of high
and honorable example, The impor-
lance Of other questions pending be-
fore theAmerican people is in no-wise
diminished, and the Democratic party
takes no backward step from it's posi-
tion on them, but the burning issue of
imperialism growing out Of the Span
ish war involves the very existence
of the republic and the destruction of
our free institutions, We regard it
as the paramount issue of the cam
paign.
The declaration in the Republican
platform adopted at the Philadelphia
convention held in June, 1900, that the
Republican party "steadfast]y adheres
to the policy announced in the Monroe
doctrine'' is manifestly insincere and
deceptive This profession is contra.
dicted by the avowed policy of that
party in opposition to the spirit Of the
Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold
sovereignty over large areas of terri
tory and large numbers of people in
the Eastern hemisphere.
We insist on the strict maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine and in all it's
integrity, both in letter and in spirit,
as necessary to prevent the extension
of European authority on this CONT
nent, and as essential to our suprema-
cy in American affairs. At the same
time we declare that no American peo-
pie shall ever be held by force in un-
willing subsection to European author

We hold that the constitution fol-
lows the flag and denounce the doc
trine that an executive or congress
deriving their existence and their
powers from the constitution can ex-
ercise lawful authority beyond it or in
violation of it.
We assert that no nation Can long
endure half republic and half empire
and we warn the people that imperial
ism abroad will lead quickly and inev-
itably to despotism at home. Believ-
ing these fundamental principles, we
denounce the Porto Rico law, enacted
by Republican congress against the
protest and opposition of the Demo
cratic minority as bold and open vio-
lation of the nations organic law and
fragrant breach of national good
faith. It imposes upon the peo-
pie of Porto Rico a government with
out their consent and taxation without
representation. It dishonors The Am
erican people by repudiating the Am
erican pledge made in their behalf by
the com manding general of our army
which the Porto Ricans welcomed to
peaceful and unresisted occupation of
their land. 1t doomed to poverty and
distress people whose he]plessness
appeals with peculiar force to our JUS
tice and magnanimity. In this, the
first act of it's imperialistic progress,
the Republican party seeks to commit
the United States to a colonial policy,
not consistent with republican institu
tions and condemned by the Supreme
court in numerous decisions.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1900-07-11

We, representatives of the Demo.
cratic party of the United States, as
sembled in national convention on the
anniversary of the adoption of the
Declaration Of Independence, do re-af-
firm our faith in that immortal proc.
lamation of the individual rights of
man, and our allegiance to the consti-
tuition framed in harmony Herewith
by the fathers of the republic. We
hold with the United States supreme
court that the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is the spirit of our government,
of which the constitution is the form
and letter.
We declare again that all govern
ments instituted among men derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed; that any government
not based upon the consent of the
governed is tyranny; and that to i'm
pose upon any people government of
force is to substitute the methods of
imperialism for those of republic.

We demand the prompt and honest
fullfllment of our pledge to the Cuban
people and the world that the United
States has no disposition nor intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction,
or control over the island of Cuba ex-
cept for it's pacifcation. The war end
ed nearly two years ago, profound
peace reigns over all the island, and
still the administration keeps the gov
ernment of the island from it's people,
while Republican carpet-bag officials
plunder it's revenues and exploit the
colonial theory to the disgrace of AM
erican people.

Certainly every effort should be made
to secure payment Of the FIRE claims by
the insurance companies, Hawaii, how
ever, has had one lesson in the manner
in which Japan collects the damage
claims for its citizens ana II Is not prob
able that the Mikado's government
will be less insistent in this instance.
The advantage held by Hawaii in the
fire claims is that Japan falling to Sc
cure what 1t wants of the Territory
must of necessity make its demand
upon the Federal government. II the
bill is paid the Federal government
will have to pay 1t, when the question
takes an international phase as II
bids fair to do. This ought to remove
the heaviest part of the burden so far as
this Territory is concerned, leaving
It to settle with its own citizens and
possibly the Chinese.

REPLY TO AHUNA.

due respect TO Ahuna, he present man

walters to telephone to him and tell
him | wished to settle UP, stood by
as the boy telephoned and heard him
ask Ahuna to get up for gentleman

have no desire to say too much but,
since the matter has Deea brought up
| would like to state that we were
wakened fifteen minutes late and had
to hurry our packing ard our break
fast as guests should not be required
to do.
| should like to know what other
wise specially ordered" means in the
matter of breakfast. Does q mean that
one must pay extra for an OTHERWISE
specially ordered" breakfast? II so,
how is one to know this when no an
nouncement Is made OF what is to be
expected. We got coffee, eggs and
toast and liked 1t.
As to the lack of billiard cues,
would like to say that the sending OF
dozen cues to Honolulu and the
promise OF a return of the same on the
Saturday train Is absolutely aside from
the point. In the first place, Is Sat
ufday the only time people go to Ha-
leiwa? The answer to tails is easy. In
the second place, is II not piece OF
mismanagement to allow cues to gel
in such shape as to require their being
sent to Honolulu in bInch, leaving
only one in the billiard room?
Now then, little as to the pet dog
question. When l and my party went
into the hotel, Ahuna was standing
near by. The dog, pet animal that
has always lived in the house, was TAX
en- upstairs without L murmur from
Ahuna. 1t was not until we were In
the billiard room playing with one
cue that Ahuna came over and with
out even asking in a decent manner for
a few words with one Of us, began tC
insist that the dog be removed. Mr.
Iaukea would hardly have done this
nor would he have used the tone which
Ahuna did.
That night the dog went upstair
although Ahuna objected. That wa
the last of the mattpr and all thrOugl
the next day, Ahuna was as serene a
the clear skies above. The same night
1t went well again. On top of thi
Ahuna wanted to charge $3.50 for tn
board and lodging OF tho dog. 1t 4
needless to say, did not, nor do
intend, to pay this.
Respectfully,

LYcURGUs NOT GUILTY.

George Lycurgus, proprietor of the
Union Grill, appeared In the Police
Court this forenoon on the charge of
selling liquor without license. He
was represented by Attorney Neumann
while Sheriff Brown conducted the
prosecution. Captain" the old Greek
fed that some wine and beer was kept
on the place. He did not know the
owners. He had never seen any wines
or liquors sold on Sunday.
w. o. Crowell, clerk In the Deputy
Sherlffs office stated that, between 10
and IL o'clock, he and Henry Vierra
went to the Grill and took table in
the room above. He asked Vlerra TO
have something to drink and the lat
ter acquiesced and ordered claret. Clar-
Ell appeared and so did Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth a little later. Not long
afterwards, Mr.. Lycurgus approached
Vierra and said: "You know you have
wine kept here" Vierra simply stared
at Lycurgus but said nothing. Upon
paying the reckoning downstairs, Ly-
curgus said 1T will only be a dollar,
The wine is thrown in"
Attorney Neumann loved for n dis
charge on the ground that there had
been no evidence whatever Of sale OF
liquor. Judge Wilcox took this same
view, stating that clear case without
a doubt had not been made out. The
defendant was discharged.
