pend his earnings according to his
W fancy rather than at the dicta-
ton of his employer.
That we, the democrats of the
state OF Montana, in convention as
sembled, hereby declare that we favor
the maintenance of the principles of
the constitution of the United States
In favor of the liberty of all and the
e~nslavement of none; that we view
with alarm the conditions existing in
the so-called colonial possessions Of
this government; that we recognize
the full right of the United States of
America in it's assump~ ion of author
ity over some of the late possessions
OF the kingdom of Spain, and in the
overthrow Of Spanish authority there
In, but that we emphatically condemn
the apparent desire of the republican
administration to treat the inhabit-
ants Of such possessions otherwise
than as free people; that as citizens
Of the United States we demand the
redemption BY our government of the
pledges that we made to the people
OF Cuba, and that We favor such policy
as will without delay insure the peo-
pie Of Porto Rico and the Inhabitants
Of the Philippines free government by
themselves n not by military ofic-
ials.
That We. the democrats OF the state
OF Montana, in convention assembled,
declare again U loyalty and I'M
swerving fealty to the doctrine Of the
free coinage of silver at the ration Of
16 to l of gold, without the consent of
my other nation.
That we heartily condemn the ac-
lions Of the existing republican admin
istration Of the United States in its
continued efforts to fix upon the ma
ton the gold standard, and to de-
crease the circulating money by the
adoption Of laws and the promotion
Of laws effecting the debasement Of
silver and withdrawing from circu-
lation the treasury notes Of the
United States: that we view with
alarm the efforts of the present ad-
ministration to contract the currency
and to increase the power Of nation
al banks.
That we, the democrats of the state
Of Montana, in convention assembled,
hereby declare our belief that coun-
try is the best governed which is the
least governed" that we recognize
the ~peaceable attitude and the law
abiding disposition Of our citizens,
and that we find no reason for the ex-
istence of a standing army in this ma
ton beyond the requirements of ma,
tional defense; that we recognize the
attempted increase of the standing
army by the present administration as
a menace to the liberties of the peo-
pie, and that we condemn the efforts
of the present administration to fast
en- Upon this nation the curse of mill
tarism with it's attendant evils; that
we are confident of the right and of
of he capacity of our citizens to con-
duct their own affairs in an honorable
and lawful method. without the inter-
position of bayonets or the unneces-
sary increase of taxation.
That we, the democrats of the state
of Montana, in convention assembled,
hereby declare our belief in the cor
%rectness of the doctrine that the
United States senators from each
state in the nation should be elected
by a direct vote of the people and not
by legislative action.
That we, the democrats of the state
of Montana, in convention assembled,
declare our belief in the proposition
that the right of competition in trade
and commerce is the privilege of ev-
cry citizen, and that such right is in
vaded and violated by the formation
and existence of trusts and combines;
that we denounce the continued and
persistent policy of the republican
party and particularly of the present
national administration in their ef-
forts to foster and promote the exist
ence of gigantic trusts and overpow-
ering combinations; that we favor the
adoption of laws by the legislative as
sembly of his state and by the con-
gress of the United States abolishing
existing trusts and prohibiting the for
nation of others.
That we. the democrats of the state
of Montana, in convention assembled,
view with eve increasing alarm the
influx of Monaghan pauper emigra-
ton in direct violation of the alien
contract and emigration laws of the
United States, knowing that such emf
grants displace American white labor
ers, and WI condemn in unmeasur-
ed terms the present administration
for failing to enforce such laws.
That we, the Democrats of the state
