THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the democrats OF Barber county, Kan
sas, in convention assembled, do hereby re-
new our faith in aad allegiance to the time
honored principles of democracy. since the
days of Thomas Jefferson. and as enunciated
in our national platforms of recent years. and
our state platform of 1906. and congratulate
ourselves upon the fact that any betterment
of conditions in government, state and ma
tional, are by reason of the adoption of dis.
tinctive democratic principles and doctrines.
We regret the recent financial panic thrust
upon the business world. ut for it, the Dem
ocratic party is in no way responsible. 1t has
demonstrated the fsllacy of the claim that
high tariff. gold standard and republican
rule rake good times"
The proposed flexible asset currency is a
proposition fraught with great uncertainty
, and still greater danger. All money should be
issued by tho government and secured by the
government.
Tariff laws should be revised and amended.
now. with a view of raising necessary revenue
only. Trust controlled articles should be
placed upon the free list.
Transportation charges should be limited by
| law with view of fair returns on actual val
ues, only. firstclass service, and simple justice
| to shippers. The basis of freight rates should
be compensation, and adjustments prompt.
The anti-pass law. the result of the demo-
cratic campaign of 1906, should be strength
ened. continued and enforced to the letter.
The temporary two-cent fare now in vogue,
yielded by the railway companies to the de-
! mands of the people asia result of the mo-
cratic campaign of 1905. should be required by
a permanent general law.
We favor the election of public officials,
state and national. including United States
senators. postmasters aud federal judges, by
direct vote of the people
We favor a state and federal income and in.
heritance tax.
Laws should be enacted making 1t impossi-
| ole for corporations to issue fictitious stock
and bonds.
We de not believe that the tax law passed
by the legislature of 1907 will meet with the
approval of the taxpayers. The fact that all
officers provided by 1t are appointed. :instead
of elected, makes it look more like it was in
tended as political machine to control tn,
most vital part of government. rather than al
instrument for the public good.
The democratic campaign of 1906 in behalf
of law enforcement has had a wholesome eff
feet, and we emphasize our purposes alons
that line. We insist that 1t shall be continu.
not spasmodic for political purposes
The enforcement of antitrust laws, the pro
hlbitory law and all laws tending to regulate
and punish corporate greed and criminal acts
| impose duties upon public prosecutors tina
shL uid not he neglected.

Mr.. BRYAN's OPINION

The plan of guaranteed bank de-
posts has probably found favor,
among all classes of people and IT.
respective of political utilization,
more rapidly than any other public
question.
The state of Oklahoma has al
ready enacted law taxing state
banks, the fupd thus accumulated
to be used in paying the depositors
of any state bank that from any
cause becomes unable to meet its
obligations. A special session of
the Kansas Legislature was called
for the purpose of enacting legisla-
ton similar to the Oklahoma
plan. The governor of Nebraska
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
calling a special session of the leg
islature on account of the growing
! belief among the people that pro-
lection to bank depositors in the
form of state or federal guarantees
of their deposits will stop the
boarding of money, bring into cir
culation sufficient currency to con-
duct the business of the country,
and prevent recurrence of such
disastrous panics as the one
through which we are now passing.
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate
of law guaranteeing deposits in
state and national banks since 1893.
The legislature of Ohio has adop-
ed a joint resolution inviting M.
Bryan to address its members in
| Joint session February IS, 1908, on
the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tar
if question, insists that residents OF
the United States should be per-
mitted. to buy homemade goods
at home at as low price as the
foreigner can buy American. made
goods abroad. He also insists that
our government should be by and
for the people as a whole, rather
than by and for the trusts, and adj
ministered in the interest of few
benehciaries of the trust system
He believes that national legisla
ton for the purpose of better regu.
lation and control of interstate
commerce and common carrier:
should supplement state legisla
ton, and not be a substitute fol
sta,e legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Com.
moner, reflects his opinions each
week on questions of public i'm
portance and in its columns may
be found his magazine articles
public speeches, addresses and lee
lures, which are referred to in tht
daily press from day to day. a.:
If you are interested in politica
questions, if you desire to keep IL
touch with the progress of Il the
campaign and to read Mr.. organs
campaign speeches send sixty cent:
toFhe Commoner, and the paper
will be sent to you each week un.
til the close of the next presiden.
tial campaign.
Postoffice money order, currency
or stamps will be accepted. Only
sixty cents. Address, The Com.
