NEW TO-DAY
Principles Of True Democracy Are Told

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, end the
favorable balance Of foreign trade. But we de-
plore the manner in which this vas. ~;nc-eass
OF wealth, produced by the energy and IN
dustry OF all our people, Is more and more
concentrated In the hands Of . few as the in.
evitable consequence Of inadequate laws, OF
special privileges, Of gigantic 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.
1--WE favor the election Of United States
Senators by the direct vote of the people.
REVISION OF TARIFF
3-we favor q careful, well considered re-
vision o. tariff schedules, which shall aim at
the reduction or total removal OF the duties
on articles Of American manufacture sold more
cheap,y in foreign countries than at home,
and which shall deprive industrial monopolies
Of the power to exploit both producers and
consumers by arbitrary methods and prices.
RATE REGULATION
1--WE hail the railroad rate legislation en-
acted by the present Congress as the first step
In a program which looks TO the growing as
sertion of national authority over great ag-
~gregations Of capital, and we claim this step
u BthktCrc . =
the Republican administration which urged
the measure found, not only its inspiration,
but its specific plan, in the Democratic Nat
tionai Platform OF 1904, and received a united
Democratic support in the enactment OF the
Law.
HOPE Is IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
5-We declare il to be our conviction that
President Roosevelt's only hope Of success In
obtaining effective laws to stop the aggres-
- II - -
industry, and, In high finance. lies in the
election Of a Democratic Congress in Novem-
Der next. The Republican majority in the
present Congress deliberately emasculated the
most important measures which came before
IL for consideration in order to make them ~
Intellectual as possible.
1t burdened the railroad bill with awkward
provisions for judicial review.
1t put the expense OF meat inspection wholly
upon the public and refused to require the
placing Of dates upon labels to show when the
meat was packed.
1t neglected TO provide an appropriation
for the execution Of the Pure Food Bill, sc
that IL remains a dead letter.
More significant and sinister than oil, ths
Republican Congress refused to pass measures
forbidding campaign contributions by corpora
tions and requiring full publicity Of all cam.
paign funds, thus showing hat the notorious
partnership betweenthe Republican managers
and the trusts is to continue to debauch oui
national elections.
1--WE adhere to our oft stated position OF
the money question. We claim that th'
quantitative theory Of money has been win
| dicated by history. We rejoice that history
has verified all the contentious OF the sres'
Democrat, who, in 1896 voiced Democratic
| opinion. and that public sentiment now de
mands bis installment in the high position o.
which he was then ~unjustly deprived by
campaign OF Misrepresentation. corruption
and fraud ~unequalled In the history of th'
country.
