An American Platform For
AmericnnS.

All
Americans.
Pittsburg Post.
No grander declaration of fun
damental principles was ever made
in this or any other country by any
political party than the platform
adopted by the National Conven-
ton at Kansas City. 1t went
through without Earring note and
by unanimous vote. The reading
of this noble declaration, the "gos-
pel of an intense Americanism," as
Webster Davis, late MoKiney's as
sistant secretary of the interior,
put it, in addressing the conven-
ton, giving his adhesion to it's
action, was accompanied by DEM
onstrations of the most extraordi-
nary enthusiasm. The anti-imper-
ial plank, with which the platform
leads, was read and re-read to the
cheering and enthusiastic delegates
and the thousands assembled. 1t
is significant that the greatest en-
thusiasm was manifested over the
declaration that the convention
and the Democracy of the Union
hold imperialism to be "the para
mount issue of the campaign"
This is the common sense of all
political or financial action pro-
posed by the convention. 1t will
reconcile all Democrats who were
opposed to any specific declaration
ON currency questions, aside from
the reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform. 1t meets the demands
of the hour. It faces the issues of
to-day, and proposes no strength
shall be wasted on past issues.
We have no space or time to re-
fer in detail to this magnificent de-
claratlon of governmental policies
and principles Itmakes the lead
ing issues imperialism, militarism
and trusts. 1t points the remedy
for our imperialistic schemes in
the Philippines by giving the peo'
pie free and Independent govern
ment under the guardianship of
the United States It meets the
militarism of standing army by
the encouragement of the National
guard of the different states. 1t
proposes a speedy and effective
remedy for the trust evil by de-
handing publicity, and system
of supervision in the main like
that proposed by Mr.. Bryan, and
that all trust products shall be de-
MED tariff encouragement by put
ting them on the free list.
Passing to other questions, the
convention declares for the election
of United States senators by the
people. The speedy construction
of the Nicaragua canal is demand
ed, and that it shall be built by
Americans and without alliance
with Great Britain. The South
African tyranny, oppression and
barbarity of England is denounced
with the force and eloquence of
truth. The enlargement of the
scope of the interstate law is favor
ed 80 as to prevent railroad discrim-
ination and exorbitant rates. Gov
eminent by injunction is assailed
in strong terms, blaoklisting con-
demned, and such system of arbi-
tration favored as will amicably
settle disputes between corpora,
tions and their employees.
But why partioularizeH tits an
intensely American platform fol
patriotic Americans. If it's prin'
ciples had controlled the Mckinley
administration we would not to-day
have had on our handsa cruel and
needless foreign war, costing us
hundreds of millions of treasure

1t is doubtful if scarcely any
foreigners escape with their lives
from the fendish outbreak in
China. Ambassadors from all over

barbarous and uncontrolled CeIes-
tails.

A pity They Couldn't Hold Out
Until After the Election.

Wayne News.
Those who prophesied year ago
that the then apparent prosperity
was but the result of unnaturaland
unstable conditions and would not
survive the Mckinley administra-
ton are finding the verfcation of
their predictions in recent happen
ings in the industrial world. The
great activity among manufacturers
has caused an over production in
all lines of industry and as a result
mills and factories are closing
down and the workman waits for
the manufacturer to find market
for his surplus product This is
especially true of the iron and steel
industry, large number Of these
plants having shut down within a
very short time. If this continues
tho Republican buglers will find it
necessary to play tune more in
evidence than prosperity"

Abuse of the Flag.

Hampshire Review.
If there is anything on top of the
earth that would nahseate the stom-
aoh of Aee-bitten canine it is tue
effort of lot of pie.eating, stock
jobbing, hypooritioal Republicans,
who are hanging on to the Govern
ment seat like grim death to de-
ceased Senegambian, to arrogate
to themselves all the patriotism in
the country and hold up those who
oppose their plundering course as
enemies to the Government,
They talk glibly about the flag, at
the same time, they have no more
use for it than for gaudy rag, ex-
cept to cloak their cussedness, Gov
or thieving and retain their power

stored, he would move that the gall
.leries be cleared.
When the state of Delaware was
called, the announcement was made
that the state would yield to New York.
Then the result ofsthe Hill conference
became apparent.
Grady Names Hill.
A tremendous shout of applause
swept through the hall. Delegate
Grady. one of the leaders of Tammany
Hall, had already assembled the plat
form, and as he stepped to the front
to address the convention the applause
and cheering increased.
His first sentence rang through the
great building In trumpet tones: ION
behalf of the Democracy of New York
present to this convention for the
nomination to the vice presidency the
name of David Bennett Hill.
The effect was electrical. His words
set the convention in a frenzy of en-
thusiasm. The scene which followed
was by far the most tempestuous of the
session, and calls for Hill re-echoed
and re-echoed through the hall. State
standards were seized and held aloft
and the convention was canopied with
futtering flags and handkerchiefs. Del
eRates and spectators cheered and the
great structure fairly shook with the
noise when the galleries became in
fected with the enthusiasm.
Governor Hill meantime had worked
his way through the surging multitude
to the platform. AS he assembled 1T his
hands were eagerly grasped, and he
was escorted to the seat of the perma-
nent chairman. He asked Mr.. Grady
to yield to him that he might make a
statement, but Grady declined.
When, finally Mr.. Grady was per-
United to proceed, he said that Cover
nor Hill might decline, but decline or
not, he shouted, New York's united ~
votes will be cast to the end for David
Bennett HILL
Judge Van Wyck kept urging him to
accept, and not make a declination.
Hill was obdurate. While Grady was
speaking Hill asked to see Senator
Jones, and when the chairman of the
national committee came, the ex-Sena
tor said to him: Jones, stop this
thing. 1t is not wise. 1t should not be
forced upon me. Help mo stop it,"
Chairman Jones said: 81 will help
you. Go on and decline, and I'll help
you out"
Then Senator Hill advanced to the
platform. He stood with bowed head
a few minutes, expressive of gratitude
for the cheers that rolled in heavy vol
ume toward him from every part of the
hall, and when finally there was a
chance of his voice being heard, he
said:

Practically No wranglo.

Charleston Gazette.
The Democratic platform was
adopted by the unanimous vote of
the convention. There was really
no serious differences to wrangle
over. 1t was the difference be-
tween tweedledee and twedledum,
and better judgment won in the
end. The Democratic party has
favored the coinage of both gold
and silver since the days of Thomas
jefferson. Even Alexander Ham
ilton, the founder of the opposi-
ton party, agreed with Jefferson
that both gold and silver should
be coined as the money of the
government. 1t is only in these
later days, when greed has attempt
ed to take the seat of justice and
patriotism, that the wisdom of the
fathers of the country has been
disputed or questioned. After oil,
the first duty of every American
citizen is to preserve the integrity
and spirit of our republican insti-
tutions. Once the people allow
the power of self-government to
slip from their hands they will have
little voice on the financial or any
other policy of'the country. The
first duty is to smash the hideous
