DENVER, July 9.-Following Is the
text OF the anti-injunctlon plank as ten
tauvely agreed upon by the sub-oommii-
tee on resolutions.
The Democratic party resents ary at
tempted reflection upon the judiciary oil
the country. The courts themselves are
not only created by law, but their Juris-
diction and authority are defined by Jaw
an dtheir rules OF procedure ars fixed
by law.
The platforms OF 1896. 1900 and 1864 dealt
with the subject Of anti-injuncuon ard
events have shown that it was Justified
I'm taking the position 4 assumed in those
documents
The federal laws. which was passed IN
l79S, and continued in force until lN1
should bo re-enacted This law requlres
notice to be given before preliminary m
junction should issue.
The Democratic party pledges itself to-
enact all further laws providing thas no
Injunction or restraining order shall re-
main In force for a period still 10 be de-
termined (some want three. some ave
and other ten days) In cases OF con-
tempt committed outside the presence OF
the court the defendant shall have the
right OF trial by jury.
DENVER, July 9.-The text OF some
OF the important Democratic planks
agreed upon are:
We denounce the needless waste OF
the peoples money, which has result
ed in this appalling increase as a
shameful violation OF all prudent con-
siderations OF government and as no
less than a crime againE the millions
lof workingmen and women from
whose earnings the great proportion of
these colossal sums must be extorted
Through excessive tariff exactions and
other indirect methods.
Tariff
We welcome the beated promise Of
tariff reform now offered by the Re-
publican party as a tardy recognition
iof the righteousness OF the Democratic
position on this question but the peo-
pie cannot safely entrust the execution
OF this important work to a party
which is so obligated to the highly pro-
tective interests that Il postpones re-
lief until after election.
We favor an immediate revision OF
/ the tariff by the reduction Of import
J 0utes Articles entering into compe-
tition with articles controlled by the
, trusts should be placed upon the Tree
list. similar reductions should be made
in the tariff upon the necessities OF
] life. especially upon articles competing
with such American manufactures as
are sold abroad cheaper than at home,
, and graduated reductions should be
made In other schedules as may be
necessary 70 restore the tariff to q
revenue basis.
Every consideration of public policy
, suggests the conservation OF our wood
lands and the removal OF those i'm
port duties which put a premium upon
the destruction OF our forests. Exist
ing duties have given TO paper manu-
facturers a shelter behind which they
have organized combinations to raise
the price Of pulp and Of paper and to
, impose a tax upon knowledge.
, The revenues derived from Import
| duties on pulp and printing apper are
so small and the benefits to be OBJ
tanned TO abolition of these duties are
, so great that we endorse the attitude
, Of the Democratic representatives in
, Congress, who unanimously favored
, the placing Of pulp and printing paper.
lumber logs. wood and tlmbers on the
freee list.
Income Tax
We favor an income tax as part Of
our revenut and we urge the submis-
sion OF a constitutional amendment
! specifically authorizing the collecting
, OF a tax upon individual and corporate
) incomes to the end that wealth may
, bear its proportionate share Of the
, burdens OF the Federal government.
r Popular Election Of Senators
We favor the election OF United
, states senators by direct vote OF the
people and regard this reform as the
, gateway to other national reforms.
! Statehood
The National DerHcratic party has
! for the last sixteen years lab"red Tor
the admission of Arizona "a New
Mexico as separate states 0f Ga Fed
oral Union. and declare that each pos
sesses every qualification to success
frllv maintain state governments, we
favor the Immediate admission OF
these territories as separate states.
Merchant Marine
we believe IN the upNolding Of the
lAuerican Merchant M7rine without
new or aai tionai hur'e rnon the
people and without hount.es from the
prflic f~ooenry
Asiatie --,r-atior

in diplomatic controversies with orl-
entail powers and we demand a strict
