the United States and the complete
separation OF church and state in POI
litical affairs.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We denounce the ship subsidy bill
recently passed by the United States
Senate asian iniquitious appropriation
funds for private. purposes, and .
wasteful, illogical and useless attempt
to overcome by subsidy the obstruc-
tons raised by Republican legislation
to the growth and development Of
American commerce on the sea.
We favor the upbuilding Of a mer
chant marine without new or addi-
tional burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the public
Treasury.
RECIPROCITY.
We favor liberal trade arrangements
with Canada and with peoples Of other
countries where they can be entered
into with benefit to American agri-
culture, manufactures mining and
commerce.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We favor the maintenance OF the
Monroe doctrine in its full integrity.
ARMY.
We favor the reduction Of the army
and OF army expenditures to the point
hist orically demonstrated to be safe
and sufficient.
PENSIONS AND OUR SOLDIERS AND
The Democracy would secure to the
surviving soldiers and sailors and
their dependents generous pensi ons,
not by an arbitrary Executive order.
but by legislation which Q grateful
people stand ready to enact.
Our soldiers and sailors. who de-
fend with their lives the constitut Ion
and the laws. have sacred interest
in their just administration. They
must therefore share with us the ha.

American people. This monstrous
perversion of those equal opportunities
which political institutions were es-
tablished to secure, has caused what
may once have been infant industries
to become the greatest combinations
of capital that the world has ever
k uown. These especial favorites of
the Government have through trust
methods been converted into
monopolies, thus bringing to an end
domestic competition, which was the
only alleged check upon the extrava-
CANT profits made possible by the pro-
tective system. These industrial COM
binatiors S. by the financial assistance
they can give, now control the policy
OF the Republican party.
We denounce protection as a robbery
OF the many to enrich the few, and we
favor a tariff limited to the needs of
the government economically admin
istered, and so levied as not to dis
criminate against any industry, class
or section, to the end that the bur-
dens of taxation shall be distributed
as equally as possible.
1--WE favor a revision and a gradual
reduction of the tariff by the friends
of the masses and for the common
veal and not by the friends of its
abuses, its extortions and its discrim-
nations, keeping in view the ultimate
ends of equality of burdens and
equality of opportunities and the
constitutional purpose of raising
revenue by taxation, to wilt, the sup
port OF the Federal Government in all
its integrity and virility. but in sim
plicity.
TRUSTS AND UNLAWFUL coMBINA-
TIoNs.
"We recognize that the gigantic
trusts and combinations, Designed to
enable capital to secure more than its
just share Of the joint products Of
capital and labor, and which have
been fostered and promoted under
Republica n rule, are menace to ben.
eficial competition and an obstacle to
permanent business prosperity.
"A private monopoly Is indefensible
and intolerabie.
individual equality OF opportunity
and free competition are essential to a
healthy and permanent commercial
prosperity and any trust. combination
or monopoly tending to destroy these
by controlling production, restricting
or fixing prices, should !
be prohibited and punished by law.
We especially denonnce rebates and |
discrimination by transportation COM
panies as the most potent agency in
promoting and Strengthening these
unlawful conspiracies against trade
We demand an enlargement OF the
powers of the Interstate Comm cree
Commission. to the end that the trav-
cling public and shippers ofthis coun-
try may have prompt aud adequate !

EXECUTIVE usURPATIoN.

3. We favor the nomination and
election Of president imbued with
the principles of the constitution, who
will set his face sternly against execn-
tiveusurpation Of legislative and
judicial functions, whether that usur-
patton be yelled under the guise of
Executive construction OF existing
laws or whether it take refuge to the
tyrant's pleas OF necessity or superior
wisdom.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-07-15
IMPERIALISM.

We favor the preservation, so far
as we can, of an open door for
the world IS commerce n the Orient,
without an unnecessary ENHANCEMENT
in Oriental and European affairs, and
without arbitrary unlimited ,irrespon-
sible and absolute government any
where within our Jurisdiction. We op-
pose as fervently as did George
Washington himself, an indefinite,
irresponsible, discretionary and vague
absoluteism and policy of colonial
exploitation, no matter where or by
whom invoked or exercised; we be-
lieve with Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams, that no Governm ent has a
right to make one set OF laws for
sat home" and another and a differ
ent set OF laws, absolute in their char
acter, for those "in the colonies. . All
men under the American flag are en-
titled to the protection of the institu-
tons whose emblem the flag is; il
they are inherently unfit to be men,
bers OF the American body polite.
wherever there may exist people in
capable OF being governed und er
American laws in consonauce with
the American constitution, that peo-
pie ought not to be part of the Amer
lean domain.
We insist that we ought to do for
the Filipinos what We have done al
ready for the Cubans. and it is our
duty to make that promise now. and
upon suitable guarantees of protection
to citizens of our own and other coun-
tries resident there at the time of our
withdrawal, set the Filipino people
upon their feet free aud independent to
work out their own destiny.

nent OF that class of tariff legislation

vor, to draw heavy tribute to the

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.

The Democratic party OF the United
States, in national convention assem-
bled, declares its devotion to the es-
sential principles of the Democratic
faith, which brings it together in par
ty communion.
Under them local self-government
and national unity and pro sperity
were alike established. They under
laid our independence, the structure OF
our free republic, and every Dsmo-
cratic extension from Louisiana to
California, and TIE xas to Oregon.
which preserved faithfully in all the
states the tie between taxation and
represen 1ation. They yet inspire the
masses of our people, guard jealousy
their rights and Liberties, and cher
ishing their fraternity, peace and or
derby development. They remind US
of our duties and responsibilities as
citizens. and impress upon US, par.
ticnlarly at this time, the necessity
of reform and the rescue of the admin
istration of Government from the
headstrong; arbitrary and spa modic
methods which distract business by
uncertainty, and pervade the public
mind with dread, distrust and per
turbation.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.

1. The application OF these tunda-
mental principles to the living issues
of the day is the first step toward the
assured peace, safety and progress of
our nation. Freedom of the press. OF
conscience and of speech-equality
before the law of all citizens; right Of
trial bv jury-freedon of the 9erscn
defended by the writ of habeas corpus
liberty of personal contract uutram-
meled uy sumptuary laws; supremacy
of the civil over military authority a
well-disciplined militia. the separa-
ration OF church aud state; economy
in expenditures; low taxes that labor
may be lightly burdened; prompt and
sacred fulfillmrnt of public and pri-
vate obligations fidelity to treaties;
peace and friendship with all nations;
entangling alliances with uone; abso-
lutte acquiescence in the will of the
majority, the vital principle of repub
lics-these are doctrines which demo
cracy has established and approved
by the nation they should be con-
stantly invoked and enforced. !.
CAPITAL AND LABOR.
We favor the enactment and admin
istration of laws, giving labor and
capital impartially their just rights.
Capital and labor ought not to be eu-
emies. Each is necessary to the other
Each has its ri ghts, but the rights of
labor are certainly no less vested, "
no less sacred" and no less 'una-
lienable" than the rights OF capital.
CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES
Constitutional guarantees are vio-
lated whenever any citizen is denied
the right to labor, acquire and enjoy
property or reside where interest or
Inclination may determine Any denial
thereof by individuals, organizations
or governments should be summarily
rebuked and punished We deny the
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-07-15


or suspend any constitutional priv
lege or limitation Obedience to the
laws and respect for their require
ments are alike the supreme duty OF
the citizen and the official. The mill
tary should be used only to
support and maintain the law. We
unqualifiedly condemn its employ
ment for the summary Punishment of
citizens without trial or for the con-
troll OF elections.
We approve the measure which
passed the United States Senate in
1896, but which Republican Con-
gress has ever since refused to enact.
relating to contempts in Federal
Courts and providing for trial by jury
in cases OF indirect contempt.
WATERWAYS.
We favor liberal appropriations for
the care and improvement of the wa
terways of the country. When any
waterway like the Mississippi River
is of sufficient import ance to demand
special aid OF the Governm emit such
aid should be extended with definite
plan OF continuous work until perma-
nent improvement is secured. We OPP
pose the Republican policy OF starving
home dev elopment in order to feed
the greed for conquest and the appe-
tite for the national prestige" and
display OF strength.
ECONOMY OF ADMI NIsTRATIoN.
1. Large reductions can easily be
be made in the annual expenditures
of the Government without impairlng
the efficiency of any branch of the
public service, and we shall insist up
GA the strictest economy and frugali-
~ compatible with vigorous and Ell
fcient civil, military and naval adj
miuistration as a right OF the people
too clear to be denied or withheld.
2. We favor honesty. The enforce
ment of honesty in the pubic service
and to that end thorough legisla-
tive investigation of those executive
departments OF the government al
ready to teen with corruption, as
well as other departments suspected
of NARROWING corruption, and the pun
ishment of ascertained corruptionists
without fear or favor or regard to per-
sons The persistent and deliberate
refusal of both the Senate and the
House OF Representatives to permit
such investigation to be made demon
strates that only by a change in the
executive and in the Legislative de-
partments can complete exposure, pun
ishment aud correction be obtained.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACT
WITH TRUSTS.
We condemn the action of the Re,
publican party in Congress in refus-
ing to prohibit an Executive Depart
ment from entering into contracts
with convicted trusts or unlawful
ordinations la restraint OF interstate
trade. We believe that one of the best
methods of procuring economy and
honesty in the public service is to
have public officials. from the occu-
pant OF the White House down to the
lowest of them. returned as nearly as
may be to Jeffersonian simplicity Of
living.
