extravaganza and creation of useless
Offices
on national issues the platform says:
Tariff reform was never more urg
emily demanded than now, when the
production of the country SO far ex-
foreign markets are the prime con-
when the existence and abuses of
trusts have been brought about
by policy of protection to fav-
ored industries. Abolition of the So
called protective system and substi-
tuition in it's place of the traditional
democratic policy of tariff for revenue
so levied as not to burden one industry
for the benefit of another, Is demanded.
Enactment of rigorous enforcement
of measures which shall prevent all
monopolies and combinations in re-
straint of trade and commerce. a mat
ter of first Importance being to prevent
the use of the government as an in
strumentality for the creation and in
crease of the wealth of the few, while
preserving intact the right of private
property and fullest measure of indi
vidual liberty to contract and assuring
to every man a just reward for SUI
perior industry and skill. We demand
the suppression of all trusts and return
to Industrial freedom. AS means TIC
this end all trust products should be
placed on the free list and the govern
msnt should exercise more rigid sup
ervision over transportation lines.
and abolish, in fact, all discrimination
in rates.
Our merchant marine should be re-
stored to its former gleatless and
made an ally of the people against mo-
nopoly by repeal of the antiquated and
restricted navigation laws. But there
should be no subsidies for favored ship
owners.
The powers granted the federal gov
ernment We're not meant to be used to
conquer or hold in subsection the peo-
Pile of other countries. Their use for
such purposes not only bellies our dec
laratioa of the rights of men, but also
unbalances our system by increasing
Capitalization of power at Washington
to ultimate overthrow of home rule.
The democratic party has never fav-
ored and now opposes any extension
of national boundaries not meant to
