CANT AND HYPOCRISY.

The republican platform, like the
convention that promulgated it, is
lacking in spontaneity. There is not a
sentence in the laboriously edited doc.
ument that moves the reader or stirs
his blood. The choice bit of humol
of the convention is to be found in
this paragraph,
1--WE commend the policy of the re-
publican party in maintaining the eff
ficiency Of the civil service. The ad
ministration has acted wisely in it,

THE ISSUE JOINED.

The issue between the democratic and
the republican parties is completely
joined even though the democratic nom-
inee for vice. president is yet unnamed.
No selection is possible which can
change or alter the political attitude
which Bryan and the platform adopted
to-day express.
Democracy is open and outspoken in
its declarations. The platform and the
candidate alike speak of definite pur.
poses and positive politics, leaying no
voter chance to doubt the aims of the
one or the sincerity Of the other. Sell
dom indeed has a presidential candidate
80 compile tely dominated the actions of
a national convention or shaped its
platform SO entirely to meet the dictates
of his personal judgment.
Nor is it often that great party
singles out any one issue in presi-
dental campaign as the dominant and
paramount question as was done IN the
virlle denunciation of imperialism which
awoke the enthusiastic approval of the
Kansas City convention to-day. With q
candidate unanimously nominated ana
the paramount issue of American poll.
tics designated with the same unanimi-
ty, the democratic door is opened wide
to all who are democrats, whether they
acknowledge the name or simply sub.
scribe to the great principles for which
it stands.
Mr.. Bryan is as frank as the platform
itself in his expressions upon this domi-
nant issue of to-day. He recognizes that
it overshadows every other question in
which the people have concern and
threatens the very life of the nation.
Republican orators will not he able to
dodge the issue and from to-day until
the polls are opened in Noyember the
aggressive and militant democra cy will
press the fight vigorously and unitedly.
The keynote of the campaign rings out
so clear and true in the very beginning
of the platform that there is no reason
to wonder it was received with such
jubilant enthusiasm BY the excited dele
gates. Ssii'
There can be no mistaking the signifi-
canoe Of yesterdays events. Democrats
mean to sink all minor di erences in the
face of the great peril imperialism in.
wolves. Other ills We may endure for
time, but this, that strikes at our vitals,
we must put down at once if at all.
In the effort to do so democrats are
once more united, with single mind and
common purpose.-St. Louis Republic.

TWO TRUST pLANks.

Although the platforms of both the
parties declare opposition to trusts, a
mere comparison of the planks is suffi-
cient to show the earnestness in the one
and the equivocation in the other.
"We favor such legislation as will et
fectually restrain and prevent all such
abuses" J" says the republican platform
regarding trusts. There are more
words, but this is the substance sum.
married.. No remedy is offered. Ali
the platform promises is continuation
of the policy which has accomplished
nothing but further multiplication Of
trusts during the last four years.
The democratic platform offers a dras-
tic solution Of the question and states
the way in which the solution may be
reached. Tariff laws should be amend
ed by putting the products of the trusts
upon the free list to prevent monopoly
under the plea of protection" the plat.
form says.
This remedy alone will do away with
all those trusts which have their origin
IN tariff protection. This course would
let in upon the trusts the competition Of
f0feisn manufacturefs. which is 1t prss.
ent kept ont BY the tariff.
Other remedies are suggested for as
calling trusts which, like the Standard
Oil and the Beef Trust, are not depend
ent on the tariff. Publicity as to the
affairs of corporations and "the use of
the whole constitutional power of Con-
gress over interstate commerce, the
mails and all other modes of interstate
communication" are the remedies.
Here is course which promises re-
suits There is no bare suggestion Of
legislation, but a distinct outline of the
kind of legislation proposed.

THE BATTLE IS ON.

With the conclusion Of the labors of
the Kansas City convention comes the
summons for the democratic hosts of
the country to gird up their loins and
get ready for the battle.
The gage thrown down by the repub.
licans at Philadelphia has been taken
up by the democratic national conven-
ton. The signal fol-, the charge is
sounding all along the line from the
pines of Maine to the magnolias of
Louisiana and from the Cascades to the
chores of Virginia.

THE PHILADELPHIA PLATFORM.

What an administration organ calls
"the basic features of the platform"
adopted by the republica.. convention
at Philadelphia include the follow
ing:
A plank favoring such lation on
trusts "as will effect prevent
abuses liable to arise fro, ch condi-
tions."
This plank was drawn ny a sub com.
mittee on resolutions, Senator Joseph B.
Foraker of Ohio, chairman. Foraker is
counsel for the Continental Tobacco
company, better known as the Plug
Tobacco trust. A few weeks ago he
left bis seatin the senate in the midst
OF important business to 60 to Colum-
bus, Ohio. and defend his client in an
action brought to annul its charter.
In his address to the court the senator
went so far outside his brief as to de
fend all trusts, as not necessarily ben
Efficient but necessary evolution o.
business conditions" His rejoinder te
criticism was, "What are you going tt
do about it?" He admitted that Labor
often suffered from the trust combina
ton, but added with sneer that thi:
was "only an incident"
Other members of the sub committe,
are:
Fairbanks, of Indiana, railroad ant
corporation lawyer.
Madden, of Illinois, stone trust
The platform was submitted to

Hanna, Ohio, shipping and steel trusts
and presided over successively by VOL

THE PLATFORM AS 4 WHOLE

AS whole the Kansas City platform
is noble democratic deiiverance by a
grand democratic council.
The convention was democratic, not
populist Or communist or any such
thing. Its platform is in nearly every
particular soundly democratic.
1t is for expansion wherever and Just
as far as expansion is compatible with
the Incorporation Of added peoples into
our national life under the constitu-
ton.
1t is for expansion wherever expan.
sion is possible without doing violence
to the soul of the republic as expressed
in the Declaration Of Independence ol
imparting into our body polite the
seeds of its dissolution.
But it is for the republic first and for.
ever. 1t is for expansion of the repub
lie, not out of the republic.
1t is for the true Monroe doctrine-nc
extension of European power or mon
archial institutions in the western hem
isrhere.
1t is for free civil government, no,
for militarism nor for any mode Of des
potism no matter under what pretenst
or benevolence or what Satanic tempta
ton of greed.
It is opposed to private monopoly
and extortion and to a tariff system o,
any system Of government favoritisu
which shelters extortionate monopo
lies.
Like every true American from Jeifer
son to Lincoln and from Lincoln to I'll,
democrats Of 1900, it believes in libert,
and the right of self-goyernment no
for Americans alone, not for Anglo
Saxons alone, but for civilized mel
everywhere and of all races,
That is the democratic platform, ane
every intelligent, just and generou
