DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.
Text of the Platform Adopted at In
dianapoIis.

| indianapolis, June 5.--Following is
| the text of the resolutions passed by
the democratic convention yesterday
I'VE, the delegates of the democratic
party of the state of Indiana, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby adopt
the following declaration of principles.
and appeal to our fellow citizens who
agree with these principles, to-oper-
ate with us in the coming campaign.
I'VE denounce the republican party
for it's surrender to the alliance with
the trusts and we favor such legis-
lation as will suppress and destroy
all trusts or combinations to control
the production and the price OF COM
modities.
I'VE denounce the Dngley tariff law
as the breeder of trusts and demand
that tariff duties shall be levied for
the purposes of revenue only and linz
Iited by the needs of the government
honestly and economically admin
istered.
I'VE condemn the republican party
for refusing to give the interstate
commerce commission power to enforce
its decisions against determinations
in railroad rates, which discrlmina-
tions have been potent cause of the
creation and maintenance of trusts
and we demand that the commission
be given power to suppress this evil.
Continuing the platform favors the
restoration and expansion OF our mer-
chant marine and to this end demands
the reformation Of our navigation and
tariff laws; denounces the ship subsidy
bill recently passed by the United
States senate, with the assistance of
senators from Indiana, as an Ubiquitous
appropriation of public funds for pri-
vate purposes, and a wasteful, illogical
and useless attempt to overcome by
subsidy the distractions raised by re-
publican legislation to the growth and
development of American commerce on
the seas opposes the Fowler bank bill
which proposes bank concentration
and the formation of a great banking
trust; recognizes as an economic fact
the increases of standard money arts
ing from the vast increased production
Of gold from our ouw and foreign
mines, as demonstration OF the truth
of the quantitive theory Of money;
condemns and denounces "the Philip
pine policy Of the present administra-
ton. 1t has embroiled the republic in
an unnecessary war, sacrificing the
lives of many of it's noblest sons and
placed the United States, previously
known and applauded turnout the
world as the champion of freedom, in
the false and n-American position
of crushing with military force the eff
forts of our former allies to achieve
liberty and self government. Filipinos
can not be good citizens without be
endangering our civilization; they can
not be subjects without imperiling our
form of government; and as we are
not willing to surrender our civiiza.
ton, or to convert the republic into
an empire, we favor an immediate
declaration of the nations purpose to
assist the Filipinos to establish for
themselves and independent govern
ment, protecting them from outside in
reference and securing to the country
such commercial an naval rights and
advantages as would be just and fully
and fairly protect American inter-
ests.
1--WE hold in reverence the valor pa
triotism and services of the soldiers
and sailors of the republic
The platform further congratulates
the republic of Cuba upon it's enter
ing into the family of nations and
depIores the cruel and warton destruc-
ton of the republics of South Africa;
favors the construction and control of
an isthmian canal; favors the election
