In matters of foreign policy tn
Democratic party will stand for liner
national morality and decent inierna
conduct: for observance of treaties an'
obedience 10 International law, for re
specr for the rights Of every nation
however small; for refusal TO take b,
stealth or by robbery what we hav
no right TO get except by consent Of tn
owners, for continuing OUr traditional
role az the defender Of the wcake
states Of this hemisphere instead of be
coming their spoilator, for mlnding on
business generally without meddlin
with internal affairs OF foreign coun
tries, and without making rumors an
trivial events the preteXts for mllitar
demonstrations in foreign ports,
an matters domestic the Democrat
party will rcpudIate the stand pa

I'm expenditures and such tariff reforl
ana revision as industrial condition

stand for reasonable relation betwee
governmental revenues and governmer
tal requirements: for clean administrt
ton and official conduct free from ever
suspicion Of graft; for amendment I
existing tariff schedules IN the intere'
Of the country,
