IMPORTANT PlAkS
IN the PLATFORM

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-The demo-
cratic party of the United States. in
national convention assembled, de-
clares Its devotion to the essential
principles of the democratic faith
which brings us together in party
communion.
Under them local self government
and national unity and prosperity
were alike established. They UNDER
laid our independence in the structure
Of our free republic and every demo-
cratic extension from Louisiana to
California and Texas to Oregon,
which preserved faithfully in all the
states the tie between taxation and
representation. They yet inspire the
masses Of our people. guarding jeal-
ously the rights and liberties and
cherishing their fraternity, peace and
orderly development. They remind
us of our duties and responsibilities
as citizens and impress upon us, par
ticularly at this time, the necessity
of reform.
Fundamental Principles.
1. The application of these funda-
mental principles to the living issues
of the day is the first step toward
the assured peace, safety and prog
ress of our nation. Freedom of the
press, of conscience and OF speech
equality; the law of all citizens;
right Of trial by jury-freedom Of
the person defended by the writ Of
habeas corpus: liberty of personal
contract, untrammeled by sumptuary
laws; supremacy of the civil over the
military authority: we'll disciplined
militia; the separation of church and
state; economy in expenditures; low
taxes, that labor may be lightly bur-
dened; prompt and sacred fulfillment
Of public and private obligations;
fidelity to treaties; peace and friend
ship with all nations; entangling al
liances with none: absolute acqui-
escence in the will OF the majority
the vital principles of republics
these are doctrines which democracy
has established as proverbs of the
nation and they should be constantly
enforced.
Capital and Labor.
We favor enactment and admins
tration of laws giving labor and capi-
tai impartially their just rights. Capt.

menace to beneficial competition
and an obstacle to permanent busi-

any trust, combination or monopoly
tending to destroy these by control

especially denounce rebates and dis
elimination by the transportation
companies as the most potent agency
in promoting and strengthening these
unlawful conspirators against trade.
We demand an enlargement of the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission, to the end that the trav-
cling public and shippers of this

.Quate relief for the abuses to which
they are subjected In the matter Of

We demand that all over the world

such further legislation as may be
necessary to effectually suppress

Any trust or unlawful combination
engaged in interstate commerce which
is monopolising any branch Of busi-
mass or production should not be per-
mitted to transact business outside
Of the state of it's origin. Whenever
IL shall be established in any court
OF competent jurisdiction that such
monopolization exists such prohibi-
