st. Louis. June 16.-The Democratic
platform says;
The Democratic party in national con
vcntion assembled adopts the follow
ing declaration to the end that the
people Of the United States may both
realize the achievements wrought by
four wears of Democratic adminlstra-
ton and be apprised Of the policies 70
which the party is committed for the
further conduct of national affairs.
Administration.
We indorse the Administration OF
Woodrow Wilson. 1t speaks for itself
1t is the best exposition of SOUND
Democratic policy at home and abroad
We challenge comparison of our rec
ord. our keeping of pledges and our
constructive legislation with those oil
any party of any time
We found our country hampered by
special privilege, a vicious tariff ooso-
lete banking laws and an inelasue
currency. Our foreign affairs were
dominated by commercial interests Tor
tbeir selfish ends. Tho Republican
marty. despite repeated pledges, was
imnotent TO correct abuses which IT had
fostered. Under our Administrator
under n leadership which has never TAI
tered. these abuses have been correct,
ed and our people have been freed
fhorpfrom
our archaic banking and currency
system. prolific of panic and disaster
under Republican administrations
long the refuge of the money trust
has been supplanted by the Federal
Reserve act. a true democracy OF creoiV
under government control, alreaGy
proved a financial bulwark IN worlu
crisis. modifying our resources, placing
abundant credit at the disposal OF legil-
mate industry and making a currency
panic impossible. , ruao
We have created a Federal Trade
Commission 10 accommodate the per
picking questions arising uhuSr NV
antitrust laws, so that monopoiy may
be strangled at its birth and Legitimate
industry encouraged. Far compeuVio"
in business is now assured. r
We have effected an adjustment Oh
the tariff, adequate loI icNV"N
peace conditions and fair to the con
sumner and to the producer. we nave
adjusted the burdens of taxation so
that swollen incomes bear their equlta-
HE share. Our revenues have been
sufficient i'm times of world stress, and
will largely exceed the expenditures
for the current fiscal year.
We have lifted human labor from the
category OF commodities and have Sc
cured 10 the working man the rlght
of voluntary association for his protec,,
ton and welfare. We have protected
tho rights of the laborer against the
issuance Of writs OF IN
junction. and have guaranteed to him
Inc right of trial by jury in cases OF
alleged contempt committed OUTSIDE
the presence of the court.
We have advanced the parcel post 10

rural delivery routes and extensions
thus reaching two and one-half mill
ions additional people. improved the
postal service ir every branch, and Tor
the frst time in our history placed
the postofice system on self-support-

that unity Of sentiment and national
purpose so essential TO the perpetuity

Preparedness.
Along with the proof of our character
as a nation must go the proof OF our
power to play the part that legitimately
belongs TO us. The people of the United
States love peace. They respect the
rights and covet the friendship Of all
other nations They desire neither any
additional territory nor any advantage
which cannot be peacefully gained by
their skill, their industry or their en-
terprise; but they insist upon having
absolute freedom of national life and
policy, and feel that they owe 1t to
themselves and to the role of spirited
independence which it is their sole am
bition TO play that they should render
themselves secure against the hazard
of interference from any quarter, and
should be able to protect their rights
upon the seas or in any part OF the
world.
We, therefore. favor the maintenance
Of an army fully adequate to the re.
ouirements of order, of safety, and OF
the protection Of the nations rights,
the fullest development of modern
methods of seacoast defence and the
maintenance of an adequate reserve of
citizens trained TO arms and prepared
to safeguard the people and territory of
the United States against any danger
of hostile action which may uneXpect-
eddy arise; and a fixed policy for the
continuous development of navy
worthy to support the great naval ira
ditions of the United States, and fully
equal TO the international tasks which
the United States hopes and expects TO
take part in performing. The plans
and enactments Of the present Con-
gress afford substantial proof Of our
purpose in this exigent matter

Protection of Citizens.

We again declare the policy that
the sacred rights OF American citi-
zenship must be preserved at home
and abroad. and that no treaty with
any other government shall receive
the sanction of our government which
does not expressly recognize the abb
solute equality of all our citizens. ir-
respective of race. creed or previous
nationality, and which does not recog-
nize the right OF expatriation.
The American government should
protect American citizens in their
rights, not only at home but abroad.
and any country having a government
should be held 10 strict accountability
for any wrongs done them. either to
person or property.
At the earliest practical opportuni-
ty our country should strive earnest

Merchant Marine.

Merchant Marine.
Immediate provision should be made
for the development Of the carrying
trade of the United States Our Tor
eign commerce has in the past been
subject to many unnecessary and vex-
atious obstacles in the way OF legis-
laton Of Republican Congresses. Until
the recent Democratic tariff legisla-
ton il was hampered by unreasonable
burdens Of taxation. Until the recent
banking legislation, IL had Mt its dls-
posal few of the necessary instrumen,
talities OF international credit and
exchange. Until the formulation OF
the pending act to promote the CON
struction of merchant marine, IL
lacked even the prospect OF adequate
carriage by sea.
We heartily indorse the purposes
and policy of the pending shipping
bill and favor all such additional meas
ures Of constructive or remedial legis-
lation as may be necessary to restore
our flag to the seas and TO provide
further facilities 70 our foreign com
merce. particularly such laws as may

Of competition in the dealings of Amer
lean merchants and producers with
competitors in foreign markets.
After commencing the conservation
policy of the Administration and the
increased cooperation Of the govern
ment with the farmer, especially with
reference TO the cotton futures act, the
platform continues:

Labor.

We declare our faith in the seamens
act passed by the Democratic Congress,
and we promise our earnest continu-
ance of its enforcement.
We favor the speedy enactment of an
effective Federal child labor law and
the regulation Of the shipment Of
prison-made goods in interstate com
merce.
We favor the creation Of Federal
bureau of safety in the Department Of
Labor TO gather facts concerning in
dustrial hazards and TO recommend
legislation concerning the manning and
killing Of human beings.
We favor the extension OF the powers
and functions Of the Federal Bureau
Of Mines.
We favor the development upon a
systematic scale OF the means already
begun under the present Administra-
ton. to assist laborers throughout the
nation to seek and obtain employment,
and the extension by the Federal gov
eminent of the same assistance and
encouragement as is now given to agri-
cultural training.
We heartily commend our newly es-
tablished Department OF Labor for its
excellent record in settling industrial
strikes by personal advice and through
conciliating agents.

The reforms which were most ooovi-
ouslv needed TO clear away privilege

lease the energies of men Of all ranks

Tariff

We reafirm our belief in the doctrine
Of n tariff for the purpose OF provid-
inc sufficient revenue for the operation
Of the government economically admin
tered. and unreservedly indorse the
Underwood tariff law as truly exempt
fving that doctrine. We recognize that
tariff rates are necessarily subject TO
change to meet changing conditions IN
the worlds production and trade.
The events of the last two years
have brought about many momentous
changes. In some respects their Ell
fects are vet coniectural and wait 70

war which has directly involved most
of the chief industrial nations Of the
world. and which has indirectly affect
ed the life and industry Of all nations
arc bringing about economic changes
more varied and farreaching than the
world has ever before experienced.
In order 10 ascertain just what those
changes may be. the Democratic Con-
gress is providing for a non-partisan
tariff commission to make impartial and
thorough study of every economic fact
that may throw light either upon our
past or upon our future fiscal policy
with regard to the imposition Of taxes
on imports or with regard to the
changed and changing conditions under
which our trade is carried on. We
cordially indorse this timely proposal
and declare ourselves in sympathy with
the principle and purpose Of shaping
legislation within that field in accord
ance with clearly established facts
rather than i'm accordance with the de-
mands Of selfish interests or upon in
formation provided largely, if not ox-
clusively, by them.

Government Employment.

We hold that the life, health and
strength of the men, women and chill
dren of the nation are its greatest
asset. and that in the conservation OF
these the Federal government, wherever
il acts as the employer of labor,
should. both on it's own account and as
an example, put into effect the follow
ing principles of just employment;
/. A living wage for all employees.
. A working day not 20 exceed eight
hours. with one day OF rest IN seven.
g. The adoption of safety appliances
4. Adequate compensation for indus
trial accidents.
5. The standards of the uniform
child labor law" wherever minors are
employed.
g. Such provisions for decency, com.
fort and health in the employment OF
women as should be accorded the
mothers of the race
7. An equitable retirement law, pro-
vidng for the retirement of superan-
nuated and disabled employees of the
Civil Service, to the end that higher
standard of efficiency may be MAIN
tanned.
We believe also that the adoption OF
similar principles should be urged and
applied in the legislation of the states
with regard TO labor within their Dor
ders. and that through every possible
agency the life and health of the people
of the nation should be conserved.
