 We recognize that the gigantic trusts
 and combinations designed t0 enable ] capital to secure more than its just share of the joint products of capital
 and labor. which have been fostered
 and promoted under Republican rule
 are menace to beaehciai competition
 and an obstacle to permanent business | prosperity

 and intOlerable.
 individual equality of opportunity
 and Tree competition are essential to
 healthy and permanent commercial prosperity, and any trust combination
 or monopoly tending 60 destroy these
 competiiion or fixing prices. should bs prohibited and punished by law We
 especially denounce rebates and dis crimiDation by the transportation com , panies as the most potent agency in 1 promoting and strengthening these un-
 lawful conspiracies against trade.
 We demand an enlaf cement of the ! powers Of the Interstate Commerce 1 Commission. to the end that the tray O | cling public and shippers of this coun- try may have prompt and adequate relief from the abuses to which they are subject in the matter of transpor- ! tatiOn.
 We demand a strict enforcement of existing civil and criminal statutes against all such trusts. combinations and monOpolies, and we demand the en- actmenf of such further Legislation as may be necessary 10 ef1ectuaily sup press them.
 Any trust or unlawful combination engaged in interstate wi is mOnopolizing any branch of bust ness or production should not be per mftted to transact business outside of the state of its origin. Whenever it shall be established in any court of eOmpetent Jurisdiction that. such mo- should be enforced through compre- hensive laws to be enacted on the sub Ject
 We congratulate our Western citi- zens upon the passage of the law known as the Newlands irrigation act the arid lands of the West--a measure framed by Democrat, passed in the senate by non- partisan vote and passed fin the house against the OppOsi- tion of almost all the Republican lead CTS by vote the majority of which was Democratic.
 We call attention to this great Demo- cratic measure, broad and comprehen- siye as it is working automatically throughout all time without further action of congress. until the reciama- ton of all the lands in the arid West capable of reclamation is accomplished. reserving the lands reclaimed for hOmeseekers in small tracts and rig idly guarding against land monopoly, as an evidence of the policy Of domes- tic development contemplated by the Democratic party. should it be placed in power.
 The Democracy. when intrusted with power, will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and econon- ically, thereby giving 10 our people what Democrats have always con- canal. furnishing shorter and cheaper lines of transportation and broader and less trammeled trade relations with the other peoples of the world.
 We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our citizens at nome and abroad. and to use ali proper measures to secure for them. whether native born or natural ized, and without distinction or race or creed. the equal protection of laws privileges open to them Under the GOV enanfs of our treaties Of friendship and commerce. and if under existing treat Is denied to American citizens or rec ognitiOn is withheld from American passports by any countriesA on the ground oT race and creed we favor the beginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to se- cure by treaty the removal of these unjust discriTninations.
 We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passport issued Dt the government or the InlIeQ States to an American citizen shall be proof of the fact that he is an American citi- zen. and shall .entitle him to the treat ment due him as such.
 We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people.
 We favor sie admission of the Ter ritory of Oklahoma and the Indian Ter ritory. We also favor the immediate admission Of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states. and the territorial government for Alaska and Porto Rico.
 We hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any of Alaska, should be bona hde residents at the time of their appointment of the Territory or the district in which their duties are to be performed.
 We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States senate as an iniquitous appropriation and a wasteful. illogical and useless att tempt to overcome by subsidy the ob structions raised by. Republican legis- lation to the growth and development of American commerce on the sea
 We favor the upbuilding of a mer- chant marine without new or addi- without bounties from the public treas

 The Democratic party stands com mitted 1o the principle c9 civil service reform. and we demand their honest. | just and impartial enforcement. We denounce the Republican party for it's continuous encroachaaenI upon the ! spirit and operation of civil service { rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dis ! pensed with examinations for office in i tile interests of favOrites and employed I all manner of devices ts overreach and { set aside the principles upon which | the ciFii service was established
