tion of debts in the governments or peoples of South and Central Amer | ica.
 Where is brutal wrong-doing or impotency which rises in a general loosening of the ties of ciyihved SO ciety?" The American people will re- gret it and will extend aid in the way of enlightenment and example to the people thus living in darkness, but 1 they decline to administer the affairs of such peoples, or to take upon the United States treasury the burden of their internal reformation. A Demo cratic administration will ind in our 1 treatment of Cuba an example or American courage, justice and mag ranimity, an example to be initiated as soon as it can be wisely and safely done in the Philippines.
 A Democratic president. such as he whom We shall nominate. will devote himself to the faithful execution of the written, without executive construc- tion or usurpation. whether under the pretext of necessity or under the pre- tex. of superior wisdom, and will leave to the legislative branch of the United States the duty of making and un- making and amending laws. A Demo cratic administration. once in power. will put an as far as it can be done and as quickly as possible to all exist ing iniquitious partnership arrange merits between ;he federal govern ment and favored special interests. IL will reduce the revenue of the general government to a sum adequate to the needs of economical and constitutional administration plus a sufficient work ing margin for contingencies which capnot be foreseen. It will speak out unmistakably against the Republican policy Of starving home development in order to feed the school boy appe- tite Of national prestige and mere dis play of strength. l. will bring about the upbuilding or a merchant marine and bring it about without new and additional taxation upon the people and without bounties from the public treasury. simply by a recurrence to those laws which were in force when when we had a merchant marine Of which every American citizen was proud.
 Under a Democratic administration the rights Of labor will be recognized as no less vested" TO less sacred" no less "inalienable" than the rights Of capital and both will be dealt with justly and impar;ially according 70 their rights.
 Under the treatv with the republic of Panama, which was rendered possi- ble by only Democratic votes in the senate of the United States. votes very difficult for Democrats to cast be- cause Of the manner in which the mushroom republic was ushered into the world-the Democracy. when er- trusted with the power, will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and economically. thereby giving 10 o-Ec people what Democrats have always contended fora great inter-oceanic canal. furnishing shorter and cheaper lines of transportation and better and less trammeled trade relations with the peoples Of the world.
 However shamefully the Panama re- public was born and however shame f1l oU- connection with it. it was born and is now recognized by us and by ihe other civilized nations of the world as a constitutional international entity. an independent government on the surface of the earth. In other words. it, too. is an accomplished fact. With it. as the only power having soye- reignty and ownership. We were com pelied 10 negotiate a treaty for the acquisition of a strip of land to be used for the construction of the Pa mama canal if We were 10 acquire i: at 2l.
 Entering into . treaty with the gov eTnunent Of Panama in order to acquire the untold benefits of a transisthmian canal. TO more smirches us with the shame of the manner of its setting-up as mushroom republic than entering into an extradition treaty with Rus slS. Austria or Prussia would be smircA us with the shame of the parti- tion ot Poland.
