We rejoice that the new Democracy Of
1897. which Wa r. old Democracy Of
Jeffeysor. AL ! .oselv allied in faith
and purpose to The Repubicanis,n of
Lincoln. has again been re-asserted in
1900, and that it i receiving the united
support of the rcfo:m forces. We de-
clare our belief that no reason now eN-
lists for the division Of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
and that unity Of organZatian, as of pur-
pose is the deman, q The hour.
We believe that the Chicago and Kan
saS City platforms cover all that is need
ed in the enforcement of our traditional
principles of government and all that is
now attainable in the line of reform, and
should satisfy the reasonable eNpecta-
rionS of all refor1ners and lovers Of their
| country: that the pnre and exalted char
acter. the marked ability and high pa
! triOtism of William Jennings Bryan, Fl i'll
every requirement Of leadership, and
| that patriotic duty demands the perfect
union into one political organization Of
all the parties now enlisted under his
| leadership.
National Platform - We endorse the
platform of the National Democratic
party. adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
our support to all i's declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silrn,
and monetary question, and als.' i.i,;,o-
| rialism and the trust. the natural off
! spring of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party. which has increased
in holiness and intensity since the de-
nometizatiOn of silver in 1873, until now
in 1900, it has practically substituted for
the Declaration Of Independence the
methods Of imperialism in the Admins
tration of our national government.
Silver Question-We hold that the Sill.
yer question is still one Of the important
issues of this campaign, and thst it will
never be permanently settled until oul
minis are opened to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of sixteen to one. regardless Of the con
sent of other nations. We congratulate
the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
ii Nevada that they are not subjected te
the h.lmiliating necessity Of abrogating
or modifying any plank in their nationa
platform for the accommodatien Of theil
congressional nominee, The platform as
adopted at Kansas City, is bread enough
for our National and State candidates
and contains not Il "nrd the elimination
F.. OF which would a an iOta of strength
to tie local nominees.
Trusts-We oppose the trusts and com
binations which. control the products O
industry and levy tribute upon the peo
pie, and we denounce the Republican
party which creates and fosters them
We especially denonnce the scheme O
the Republican Administered ion to Great
the greatest of all nonoplics. in delega
ting to the national hanks the exrlusiv
right to make and issue the people
money.
Our F,ag-Wc condemn the cowarell
and Inconsistent course of the Republi
can Administration, which plants GU
flag OF freedom, defantly in the faces G
those struggling for liberty in the Phi
ipineS, vet hauls it down from where
has hOnorably and righfnlly been for
