Allegiance With the Trusts.
THE POLICY IN PHILIPPINES
And the Ship Subsidy Bill Denounced
. and VaIor and Patriotism of Sol
ence-Isthmian Canal Favored
The Republic of Cuba.

Following is the platform adopted
by the Indiana democratic state con-
vention:
1--WE denounce the republican party
for it's surrender to and allegiance
with the trusts, and we favor such
legislation as will suppress and de-
stroy all trusts or combines to con-
troll the production and price of COM
modities.
''We denounce the Dingley tariff
law as the breeder of trusts and de-
mand that tariff duties shall be lev
led for the purpose of revenue only,
and limited by the needs of the gov
ernment honestly and economically
administered"
Continuing, the platform favors
the restoration and expansion of the
merchant marine, and to this end de-
mands the reformation of our navi-
cation and tariff laws; denounces the
ship subsidy bill; opposes the Fow
Ter bank bill, which proposes bank
concentration and the formation of
great banking trust; recognizes as a
fact the increase of standard money
arising from the vastly increased
production of gold from our own and
foreign mines as a demonstration of
the truth of the quantitive theory of
money; condemns and denounces at
length the Philippine policy of the
present administration, and favors
an Immediate declaration of the ma
tion's purpose to assist the Filipinos
to establish for themselves an indie
pendent government under United
States protection.
The platform continues:
"We hold in reverence the valor,
patriotism and services of the sol
diers and sailors OF the republic"
The platform further congratulates
the republic of Cuba; deplores the
cruel and wanton destruction of the
republics of South Africa; favors the
construction and control of an 18TH
mian canal; favors the election of
United States senators by popular
vote; deplores the death of President
Mckinley, and denounces anarchy in
all it's forms.
The platform ends by condemning
the governor of Indiana for his vio-
lation of the constitution and laws
of the United States and the state of
Indiana in his refusal to honor the
requisition of the governor of Ken
lucky upon regularly returned indict-
ments for murder against fugitives
from justice.
In taking the cnair, Mr. Kern said,
in part:
81 rejoice that today I see before
me the reunited forces of the Indiana
democracy. For the first time since
1892 are we without a schism or di-
vision, and it is known everywhere
by none better than our republican
opponents that when the democracy
is united it is invincible. The battle
is on. Our opponents fearing the
past, are seeking to commence the
work of conquest and subjugation
where Caesar and George III left off
The specious and eloquent pleas of
Roosevelt, Lodge and Beveridge for

reproduction of arguments made in
favor of the subjugation of Greece,
the partition of Poland, the destruc-
tion of Hungary, the spoliation of
the Dutch republics in South Africa,
and the oppression of our own revo-
lutionary fathers. The aims and pur-
poses as declared by modern repub-
lican leaders, for the uplifting of the
people whose liberty they would de-
stroy are no nobler or higher than
the declared purposes of tyrants of
