The Bolivar County Democrat. (Rosedale, Miss.) 1887-1969, 1902-11-29
Cleveland's, Statement Of the Demo-
cratic Platform.

Being asked tor..an expression OF the
national political issues of the day, and
the position Democracy should take on
these, Mr. Cleveland gave out the fol-
lowing to the New York World:
''The hope of the Democratic party
lies in the inevitable discovery of our
people of its beneticicnt aims and purs
poses. Already the bencfciaries ct the
high protective tariff are SO reduced In
Aber, and the benefits derived from
n .ction are so palpably lessened,
cSyEs applied to the selfish interests OF
those who have heretofore insisted upon
its continuance, that they are inclined to
receive with favor the adoption OF the
Democratic doctrine of a tariff for reve-
nue. only.
"The popular apprehension of the
evils of aggressive expansion, and its
i,rompatibility with what has always
been regarded as safe Americanisnn is
constantly growing, and cannot fail to
become, in the near futnre. most I'M
portant factor in the political thought
OF our people.
"rhe tremendous growth of trusts,
the immense business aggregations aud
the manner in which they stife healthful
competition and throttle individual en-
terprise can not long pass unheeded by
the voters of the land. The stnpendous
governmental extravaganza that now
prevails must at length be appreciated
by the people as not only drain upon
their earnings and accumulations, but
as most pcrnicious example calculated
to undermine the love of wholesome
economy among our citizens. These
topics and others which might be men.
toned, and the abuses connected With
them, should be bravely and uncompro-
misingIy dealt with by the Democratic
party, as they all involve Democratic
principles"
There can be no question that the
Democratic masses stand ready to re-
spond favorably to the above PROPOSE
tions. Unfortunately some of thei,
leaders arc not to be trusted to givs
honest support to measures tor efectSsE
VI ariff for revenue only. And in such
reform of the Dingley law schedules is
bound up any genuine progress in check
ing the growth of trusts" aud "cx-
travagance ofgovernlncnt expenditures. !"
None the less, Mr.. Cleveland has chalked
down the lines on which the Democratic
platform will be drawn.
What the ex-Presidcnt says OF e1pan-
sion is wise No assault is made OF im-
piled upon holding and governing the
Philippines. With the soundest Demo-
cratic thought Mr.. Cleveland recognizes
that as closed incident. Nothing re-
mains Off but the duty Off strong, just
and ron-partisan administration. The
interview closes with the following ad-
nonition
81 see only hope and confidence in the
future of the Democracy; but this hope
and confidence is based entirely on the
belief that the party will be true to it
self and true to its profession OF deYo-
tion to the welfare of the people. =
