Gives Germans Views
The Poe draft In it's declaration on
imperialism says:
The practical results of the
policy of Imperialism inaugurated
Illustrated III the government of the
Philippine islands demonstrates the
folly, danger and injustice of the con-
quest, subjugation and forcible con-
troll of alien raeessin remote islands of
the sea. Distinctly denouncing this
policy as without warrant in the letter
Or spirit of the constitution and vicious
in itself, we favor the return at the
earliest possible moment from so radi-
cal and perilous a departure from the
cherished traditions and long estab-
l1Shed practice of our government and
the speedy substitution therefor of
friendly relations with Filipinos as
free people, corresponding as far as
reasonably practicable with our exist
ing relations with the people of Cuba
Regarding the isthmian canal, it
says: seI
1--WE favor the early completion
of the isthmian, canal. But while main
| tanning this declaration and accepting
from necessity the, result of negotia-
tons conducted by President Roose-
welt, we cannot too forcibly express
our detestation of the methods by
which, in fragrant disregard of law
and treaty obligations, the canal route
has been acquired or too solemnly
record our hope that this precedent
| of defiant diplomacy may never be
used against us to our humiliation and
injury"
A promise is made of a more
100 tool i-f,- ~
| eminent.
The race question is touched upon
as follows:
1--WE deplore and denounce the rails
| ing by the Republicans of the race is
sue. We believe that its wanton In
PRODUCTION into this campaign cannot
fail to obstruet and delay the complete
| restoration Of that harmony and good
| will amongst the people so essential
to the peace, happiness and prosperity
of every section of the United States.
and we demand that the regulation of
| the suffrage shall he left without cons
| gresslonal dfctatians to the several
states, subject to the final judgment of
| the supreme court of the United
| States.''
| Addition of Gold
| The financial plank is as follows:
"The Democratic party congratu-
| lates the country upon the yindication
of the Democratic demand for an in
! creased volume of real or metallic
money in manner acceptable to all
Democrats by the addition to the
worlds stock of money metals Of
| s2.000,000,000 in gold within eight years,
from which the United States has been
able to obtain $700,000.000, thereby
doubling it's stock of standard mon
l ey. raising its per capita from s23
to $50 and contributing to the advent
of Industrial activity which could not
otherwise have been attained The
fact that this result has been reached
| by no action of government, but by
! the action of God, through human in
strumentalities of discovery, invention
and industry, does not lessen our graf
! ification. /"
On tariff and trusts this declaration
! is made:
1--WE realize that, under the doni-
nation of the corporate interests and
mighty, dangerous trusts and monopo-
/ lies which control the policies and
shape the legislation of the Republican
/ party, relief to the masses of the peo-
/ pie from the glazing inequalities and
