Sucn utilization of capital.
Tariff for revenue only is advocated and
manded.
Against imperialism.
The platform holds that since it is not
practical to apply the constitution of the
United States 10 the people of another ma
ton. the imperialistic policy of the Repub-
lican party is contrary TO the theory of
our government.
The party declares its opposition to a
large standing army. The Republican
policy regarding the Porto Rican tariff act
is condemned.
The platform favors expansion by all
reasonable and practical means, but de-
MES that the present policy regarding the
acquisition of foreign territory is subserv-
lent to this end. In this connection the
platform says that foreign trade expan-
sion is better promoted by the arts OF
peace and friendly relations than by war.
The acts of bravery and galantry of
the soldiers and sailors of the United
States are commended.
The repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on
state banks of issue is demanded
After ringing Endorsement of w. ].
Bryan and the instruction of delegates 10
the National Convention. the platform
concludes by extending to all voters ire
spective of past party affiliat tons an invi-
tation to join the Democratic party.
