Business.
We demand that the test of true
prosperity shall be the benefits con-
terred thereby on all citizens, not
confined to individual or classes, that
the test of corporate efficiency shall
be the ability better to serve the pub
lie, that those who profit by the con-
troll of bushes affairs, shall justly
that profit and that control by shar-
ing with the public the fruits thereof
We therefore demand a strong ma
tional regulation of interstate corpo-
rations. The corporation is IN essen
tial part of modern business. The
concentration of modern business, in
some degree, is inevitable for bust

oentration of vast wealth under a
corporate system unguarded and un-
controlled by the nation, has placed
in the hands of a few men enormous,
secret, irresponsible power over the
daily life of the citiZen-a power un-
sufferable in a free government and
certain of abuse.
This power has been abused in mo-
nopoly Of natural resources, in stock
watering, in unfair competition and
in unfair privileges, and finally in
sinister influences on the public in
fiuence of state and nation.
Trust Commission.
To that end, we urge the establish
ment of a strong federal administra-
tive commission of high standing,
which shall maintain permanent ac-
tive supervision over industrial or
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce, or such of them as are of
public Importance. doing for them
what the government now does for
the national banks, and what is now
done for the railroads by the Inter-
state commerce commission.
Patents.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of a patent law which will make
it impossible for patents to be sup
pressed or used against the public
welfare in the interests of injurious
m%onopolists.
Interstate Commerce Commission.
We pledge our party to the inter-
state commerce commission to value
the physical property of railroads.
In order that the power of the COM
mission to protect the people may not
be impaired or destroyed we demand
the abolition of the m court.
Currency.
We believe that the present me-
thod of issuing notes through pri-
vate agencies is harmful and unscien-
tifc. The issue of currency is funda-
mentally a government function and
the system should have as basic prin-
ciples soundness and elasticity. The
control should be lodged with the
government and should be protected
from domination or manipulation by
Wall Street or n special interests.
We are opposed to the so-called AL
drich currency bill because its proyis-
ions would place our currency and
credit system in private hands, not
subject to effective public control.
