FOR THE U. 5. SENATE.

ISAiot SoutSc VI EeNcuuc lOI .Jne uldlu-
tenance OF her citizenship, and, at the
same time, prohibited lts shipment to
our markets by an exhorbitant tariff
dictated by and for the personal bene.
nt OF the gigantic Sugar Trust Of this
country. By relieving Cuban sugar Of
the Ubiquitous tariff now imposed by
the United States, it should DO practI-
cable TO secure the repeal OF the Cuban
tariff upon cattle imported into the Is.
land from this country, and this matter
l consider one Of especial importance to
the people Of Florida. Therefore, "a
vor the immediate repeal OF the tariff
upon sugar, temporarily, 20 be followed
by the permanent revision and reduce
tion Of the tariff upon sugar for the re-
lief Of q destitute but deserving people;
and favor any measure looking to the
repeal Of the Cuban tariff upon Florida
cattle, for which there lie no excuse.
REGULATION OF TRUSTS.
"The platform accurately describes
the Dinsley tariff law and condemns 1t
40 trust-breeding measure, sldlfully de-
vised TO give to the few favors that they
do not deserve, and to place upon the
many burdens which they should not
bear. Under 1.-THE trusts, monopolies,
combinations and national banks under
che present. national banking laws seek
TO control and do, in large measure,
exercise the dlrection--either directly
or indirectly-of governmental func-
tions; they have undertaken TO exerclse
and control the sovereignty Of the ma.
ton as relates 70 It's financial policy.
which IL unauthorized by the constitu-
tiou. They should be dethroned and
shorn Of the power to exercise such
tunctione; placed under the control Of
the majesty Of the constitution OF the
United States, take their places ss cres.
lures Of the sovereignty, and be govern
cd by lie laws aud policies, instead Of
governing and controlling the money
making functions and the circulation OF
the money OF this nation. Therefore, I
favor rigid enforcement Of the pres.
slt antitrust law, and the enactment OF
such laws as will destroy the trusts ava
unlawful combinations OF all hndsfbRt
challenge the attention Of the people
aud threaten the integrity and perman-
encv ot our institutions. A private
monopoly is indeiensible and ntolera.
BILE. also favor the repeal Of the pres
ent law delegatng TO national banks the
power to issue money based upon the
credit OF the United States, which in
wolves permanent and increasing
debt that should not be tolerated under
our form Of government. fully agree
with the Democratic platform that cur
rency issued by the United States gov
eminent is quite ae good as national
bank currency based on United STATES
bonds, and directly saves 10 the people
the interest now paid TO the national
banks on government bonds.
FREE COINAGE.
81 favor the free and unlimited and
independent coinage Of both silver and
gold at a ratio of IL to l.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
"The constitution OF the United States
gives to the Congress the power TO reg.
ulate commerce, and, therefore. | hear.
tily favor the enactment of laws that
will enlarge the scope, powers and du-
ties OF tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission, 70 enable It TO fix rates for
travel and traffic for the transportation
Of persons and property, to prevent UNI
just discrimination and to enable the
Commission 70 carry into effect tfS
power Of the Congress to the extent OF
giving governmental control Of all trans
portatioa lines, express companies, tele.
graph, telephone and al other public
utilities Of On interstate character, in
the interest Of the people, as contem-
plated by the Democratic platforms
RIVERS AND lIARBORs.
~ favor a liberal system OF improve
mont Of rivers and harbors IN the in
terest Of commerce and cheaper trans
portation, not only for the ports that
are now recognized bv the Navy De-
phrtmentas being necessary for the
use Of the government, but the other
similar inland ports rivers and harbors
