Whether we shall adhere to, or aban-

ton the settlement of which cannot

Foreign Alliances.

The reasons given by Washington,

the early days in support of the doc
trine that we should maintain friendly
relations with all nations, but enter
into entangling alliances with, none,
are even stronger to-day than they
were hundred years ago. Our COM
merce is rapidly increasing, and we are
brought into constant communication
with all parts of the world. Even if we
desired to do so, we could not afford to
ALLEVIATE many nations by cultivating
unnecessary intimacy with a few. Our
strength and standing are such that it
is less necessary than ever before to
lean for aid upon the friendliness Of a
foreign power.
We cannot connect ourselves with
European nations, and share in their
jealousiss and ambitions without los
ing the peculiar advantage, which our

The recognition contained in both

ciple involved from the domain of par
tisan politics. 1t is proper, however,
to consider whether the accomplish
ment of this purpose can be safely en-
trusted to the Republican party after
it has yielded to the allurements of the
Colonial idea, and abandoned it's ear
lier faith in the natural and inalien-
able rights of man.

Reclamation of Arid Lands.

The time is ripe for systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid
lands and fit them for actual settlers
The last agricultural report estimates
that homes can thus be provided for
many millions Of people. The i'm
pounding and use of the waters which
are wasted in the spring would people
the western states with thrifty, intelli-
gent, and industrious citizens, and
these would furnish a valuable market
for all the products of the factories. A
small percentage of the money spent
in war of conquest would provide oc-
cupation and habitation for more peo-
pie than would ever seek a residence
in colonies within the tropics.

The Chinese exclusion act has proven

Importance of the platform recon-
mendation of the establishment of a
department of labor, with a member
Of the cabinet at it's head. When we
remember how important a position
the laborer fills in our economic, So
cial and political fabric. it is hard to
conceive of valid objection being
made to this recognition of his serv-
ices. Agriculture is already represent
ed in the presidents official household;
the army and navy have their repre-
sentatives there; the state department,
with its consular service, and the
treasury department, with its close
connection with fiscal affairs, keep the
executive in touch with the business
and commercial interests. A cabinet
officer truly representative of the wage
earning class would be of invaluable
aid, not only to the toilers, but to the
president.

Gentiemen:-In accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf Of
the Democratic party, beg to assure
you of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred upon me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and by
the voters who gave instruction to the
delegates.
am sensible OF the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
OF SO great nation, and realize the
far-reach1ng effect of the questions in
vowed in the present contest.
IN my letter of acceptance of 1896,
made the following pledge:
so deeply am I impressed with the
magnitude Of the power vested by the
constitution in the chief executive Of
the nation and with the enormous in
Huence which he can yield for the ben
ef1t or injury of the people, that I
wish to enter the Office, if elected. free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy OF the conf
dence of my countrymen. Human
Judgment is fallible enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations, and,
In order that l may not be tempted to
use the patronage of the Office to ad-
vance any personal ambition, I hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi-
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be candidate for reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
ton"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. It courageously meets the
issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
considered. Adopted by convention
which assembled on the anniversary Of
the signing Of the Declaration of In
dependence, 1t breathes the spirit of
candor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
adelphia in 1776, promulgated the creed
Of the Republic
Having in my notification speech,
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism, and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war, it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks of
the platform.

this letter, important as each may
seem in itself, do not press SO impera-
lively for solution as the question

Income Tax.

BY inadvertence the Income Tax
plank agreed upon by the Resolutions
committee, was omitted from the plat
form as read and adopted. The sub
ject, however, is covered by the re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform.
and I take this occasion to reassert
my belief in the principle which under
lies the income tax. Congress should
have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition specifically comforting such au-
sthority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unueces
sary at: this time. In the hour of
danger the government can draft the
citizen; it ought to be able to draft
the pocketbook as well. Unless money
is more precious than blood, we can
not afford to give greater protection to
the incomes of the rich than to the
lives of the poor.
New Ulm review., 1900-09-26
Arbitration.


The platform renews the demand
for arbitration between corporations
and their employees. No one who has
observed the friction which arises be-
tween great corporations and their
numerous employees can doubt the
wisdom Of establishing an impartial
court for the just and equitable set
tlement of disputes. The demand for
arbitration ought to be supported as
heartily by the public, which suffers
inconvenience because Of strikes and
lockouts, and by the employers them
selves, as by the employees. The estab-
lishment Of arbitration will insure
friendly relations between labor and
capital, and render obsolete the grow
ing practice of calling in the army to
settle labor troubles.

therefore, not desirable as permanent

The Blacklist.

The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical
duress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment.
The blacklist enables employers to Sc
cure, by mutual agreement, that con-
troll over the wage earners which
private monopoly exercises without
contract.

Election OF Senators by :he People.

Election OF Senators by She People.

amendment providing for the election

pie, appears for the first time in a
Democratic National platform, but a
resolution proposing such an amend
ment, has three times passed the

Pensions. e.:
The party expresses it's pride in the
soldiers and sailors of all our wars,
and declares it's purpose to deal gen.
erously with them and their depend
ents. A liberal policy is natural and
necessary in a government which de-
pends upon citizen soldiery, instead
OF large standing army. Self-inter-
est, as we'll as gratitude, compels the
government to make bountiful pro-
vision for those who, in the hour Of
danger, and at great sacrifice of busi-
ness, health and life, tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896, that the fact of
enlistment shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
A certificate given now to the health of
person 40 years ago, even if easily
obtainable, should not have as much
weight as the certificate of the medical
officer who examined the volunteer
with view of ascertaining his fitness
for army service.

WILLIAM }. BRYAK'S LETTER OF H66EP PTHN6E

House Of Representatives, and that,
too, practically without opposition.
Whatever may have been the reasons
which secured the. adoption Of the pres
ent plan, century ago, new conditions
have made it imperative that the peo-
pie be permitted to speak directly in
the selection of their representatives in
the Senate. A Senator is no less the
representative Of the State because he
receives his commission from the peo-
pie themselves, rather than from the
members OF the State legislature. If
voter is competent to vote for men,
Der OF Congress, for State officers and
for President, he is competent to
choose his representative in the Sen
ate. A system which makes the Sen
ator responsible for his election to the
people, as whole, and amenable to
them If he misrepresents them, must
commend itself to those who have con-
hdence In the intelligence, and patriot
ism of the masses.
Direct Legislation.
The platform indorses the princi-
pie Of direct legislation. This is al
ready applied to the more important
questions in nation, state and city. 1t
rests upon the sound theory that the
people can be trusted, and that the
more responsive the government is to
the will of the people, the more free
1t will be from misuse and abuse.
Labor Question.
Several planks of the labor plat
form are devoted to questions in which
the laborlng classes have an immediate
interest, but which more remotely ef-
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
injunction is at present directed chief
ly against the employees of corpora
tlons, when there is disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns
every one. The purpose of the in
junction in such cases is to substitute
trial by judge for trial by jury, and is
i
abolition Of government by Injunction
is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation of the court, as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
in defending trial by jury, says:
"The impartial administration of
justice, which secures both our persons,
and our properties is the great end of
civil society. but if that be entrusted
entirely to the magistracy, a select
body Of men. and those selected by
the prince such as enjoy the highest
offices Of the state their decisions in
spite of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those of their own rank. and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few should be
always attentive to the interests and
good of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection Of property, they
can be made more severe, but citi-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury Of his peers.
The Blacklist.
The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical
duress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment.

Nicaragua.
The Democratic party is in favor of
the Immediate construction, ownership
and control Of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure Of the
Republican party to make any prog
ress in carrying out a pledge contained
in its platform four years ago, together
with the substitution in it's latest plat
form of plank favoring an isthmian
canal for specific declaration in ia
vor OF the Nicaraguan canal, would in
dicate that the Republican leaders
either do not appreciate the Importance
of this great waterway to the mari
time strength and commercial inter-
ests of the country, or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition Of transcontinental lines.
The Hays-Pauncefote treaty, now be-
fore the senate, would, if ratified.
greatly lessen the value of the canal,
If it would not indeed convert it into
positive menace in time of war. The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere, to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us, makes
1t necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.
