The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-10-27
PLATFORM

The Democrats and Silver men OF Nevada
| rejoice in the nations continued prosperity. in
the abundant crops, the goodly yields of the
mines, the full employment OF labor, and the
favorable balance Of foreign trade. But we de-
plore the manner in which this vast increase
of wealth, produced by the energy and in
dustry of all our people, is more and more
concentrated in the hands of a few as the in
eyitable consequence Of inadequate laws, Of
special privileges, of ~gigastic monopolies in
the necessaries Of life, and Of the control Of all
the sources of legislation by the alliance be-
tween organized politics and organized wealth.
2-We favor the election of United States
SENATOR by tie direct vote Of the people.
REVISION OF TARIFF
3-We favor a careful, well considered re-
vision Of tariff schedules, which shall aim at
the reduction OF total removal OF the duties
on articles of American manufacture sold more
cheap.y in foreign countries than 1T home,
and which shall deprive industrial monopolies
of the power to exploit both producers and
consumers by arbitrary methods and prices.
RATE
I'VE hail the railroad rate legilation en-
acted by the present Congress as the first steI
10 a program which looks to the growing as
sertion of national authority over great ag
gregations of capital, and we claim this steE
| Of progress as a Dem ocratic victory, because
| the Republican administration which urged
he measure found, not only its inspiration
but its specific plan. in the Democratic Nat
tional Platform Of 1904, and received a united
Democratic support in the enactment OF thu
law.
HOPE is IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
5-We declare it to be our conviction tina
President Roosevelt's only hope of success II
obtaining effective laws to stop the aggres
sions of monopoly, alike in transportation, il
industry, and, in high finance, lies in tn
election Of a Democratic Congress in Novem
ber next. The Republican majority in tn
present Congress deliberately emasculated tn
most important measures which came befor
t for consideration In order to make them a
Intellectual as possible.
!, 1t burdened the railroad bill with awkwar
provisions for judicial review.
1t put the expense OF meat inspection who'll.
! upon the public and refused to require tn
placing of dates upon labels to show when tn
meat was packed.
1t neglected to provide an appropriate
hat it remains a dead letter.
7 More significant and sinister than all, tn
Republican Congress refused to pass measure
forbidding campaign contributions by corpora
tinns and requiring full publicity of all cam
paign funds, thus showing that the notorion
partnership between the Republican manager
and the trusts Is TO continue TO utpauch ou
national elections.
Eve adhere to our oft stated position Q
he money question. We claim that tn
cumulative theory Of money has been VII
: dicated by history. We rejoice that bistor
has verified all the contentious OF the gres
Democrat, who, In 1896 voiced Democrat
opinion. and that public sentiment now d.
mands his in~stallment In the high position
J which he was then unjustly deprived by
campaign of Misrepresentation, corruptio
= and fraud unequalled in the history OF tn
country.
