1HE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Denver. Colo. The following is ft
bvhoiihIb of tlio platform mloptcl by
the Democratic national convention:
Dhin v iiw. mm'fiuntittittvpu
of the Democracy of the United Staler,
in delegate convention assembled, re-
ftfllrm our faith In and pledge (nir loy
alty to the principles of our party.
We rejoice at the increasing signs of
awakening in the United States. The
various Investigations have traced
LM-iift mill tKi1ltle.il nrirrnntlon to the
rnnrc.seii(ji(lvc!K nf nrodatorv wealth
nml jal,i bfiro unscrupulous moth
- --
ods by which they liavo debauched
elections and preyed upon a defense
less public through "the subservient
olllclals whom they have raised to
placo and power.
The conscience of the nation is now
aroused and will, if honestly appealed
to, free tho government from tho grip
of thoso who have mado it a business
asset of the favor-seeking corporation.
It must become again "a government
of the people, by tho people and for
the people," nnd be administered in
its departments according to the Jof
fersonian maxim: "Equal rights to all
and special privileges to none."
Tills is tho overshadowing Issue at
this time; it manifests itself in all the
questions now under discussion and
demands immediate consideration.
Publicity for Funds We heartily ap
prove of tho laws prohibiting the pass
and the rebate and insist upon further
legislation, state and national, making
It unlawful for any corporation to con
tribute to campaign funds and provid-
ing for publication before tho election
of all the Individual contributions
abovo a reasonablo minimum.
State's Rights Believing witli Jef
ferson In "the support of tho state
governments in all their rights as the
moBt competent administrations for
our domestic concerns and tho surest
bulwark against n'nti-ropubllcnn tend
encies," and in "the preservation of
the general government in its whole
constitutional vigor, as the sheet an
chor of our peace at home and safety
abroad," wo are opposed to the cen
tralization implied in the suggestions,
now frequently made, that the powers
of general government should bo ex
tended by judicial construction.
Senators by Direct Vote Wo favor
the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the peoplo and re
gard this reform as tho gateway to all
ott,or national reforms
Trusts and Monopolies A private
monopoly is indefensible and lntolor
able; wo therefore favor the vigorous
enforcement of tho criminal law
against trusts nnd trust mngnates, and
demand tho enactment of such addl
tlonnl legislation as may be necessary
to make It impossible for a private mo
nopoly to exist in tho United States.
Among the additional remedies we
specify three: First, a law preventing
tho duplication of directors among
competing corporations; second, a li
censo system which wjll, without
abridging the right Qf each state to
create corporations, or its right to reg
ulate as it will foreign corporations do
ing business within its limits, make
it necessary for a manufacturing or
trading corporation ongaged In inter
state commerce to tako out a federal
license before it shnll be permitted
to control ns much as 25 per cent, of
the product in which it deals,
tho liconso to protect tho pub
lic from watered stock and to
prohibit tho control by such corpora
tion of more than 50 per cent, of the
total of any product consumed in the
United States; and third, a law com
pelling such licensed corporations to
soli to all purchasers, in all parts of
the country, on tho samo terms after
making due allowance for cost of
transportation.
Tariff Revision Wo welcome tho be
lated promiso of tariff reform, now of
fered by a part of tho Republican par
ty, as a tardy recognition of tho right
eousness of the Democratic position
on this question, but tho peoplo can
not snfely intrust tho execution of this
important work to a party w.hich is so
obligated to tho highly protected In
terests that it postpones relief until
after tho election. And wo call at
tention to tho slgnlHcant fact that the
promiso now mado by those Republi
cans who favor tariff rovlston Is whol
ly vitiated by tho uso of tho very
qualifying words under which tho pres
ent tariff Iniquities havo grown up. Wo
favor an immediate revision of tho tar
iff by tho roduction of Import, duties.
Articles ontoring Into competition with
articles controlled by trusts should bo
placed upon tho free list; jnaterial re
ductions should bo made in the tariff
upon tho necessaries of Hfo, and reduc
tions should bo mado in such other
schedules ns may bo necessary to re
store tho tariff to a rovonuo basis.
Income and Inheritance Tax Wo
favor an incomo tax as pnrt of our
rovonuo Bystom, and wo urgo tho sub
mission of n constitutional amend
ment specifically authorizing congress
to levy and collect a tax upon individ
ual and corporate incomes, to tho end
that Wealth mav bear its proportionate
sliaro of tho burdens of tho federal
government. We fnvor a nationnl in-
lcrltanco tax to reach tho "swollen
fortunes" already In existence, but wo !
lolleve that It Is bettor to permanent
y prevent "swollen fortunes" by abol
slilng privileges and favoritism upon
which they are based.
Railroad Regulation Wo ftssert tho
right of congress to exercise complcto
control over interstate commerce, and
wo assert tho right of each state to
exercise Just as complete control over
commerce within Us borders. Wo de
mand such an enlargement of tho
powers of national and state railway
commissions as may bo necessary to
give full protection to persons and
places from discrimination and extor
tion. Wo believe that both tho nation
and tho various states should, Unit, as
certain tho present value of railroads
measured by tho cost of reproduc
tion; second, prohibit the Issue of any
more watered stock on fictitious capi
talization; third, prohibit the railroads
from engaging in any business which
brings them into competition with
their shippers, and, fourth, reduco
transportation rates until they rench n
point where they will yield only a rea
sonable return on tho present value of
the roads, such reasonable return be
ing defined as return sulllcient to keep
tho stock of tho roads at par when
such roads are honestly capitalized.
Postal Savings Banks We favor
the postal savings bank, nnd, in addi
tion thereto, insist upon tho passage
of laws, state and national, for tho bet
tor regulation of banks and for tho
protection of bank deposits.
Currency We believe that, in so fnr
as the needs of commerce require an
emergency currency, such currency
should be issued and controlled by tho
federal government, nnd that it should
be loaned upon adequate security and
at a rate of Interest which will com
pel its retirement when the emergency
Is past. We demand, further, that
favoritism in the doposlt of treasury
funds shall be abolished and that sur
plus revenues shall bo deposited at
competitive rates upon sulllcient se
curity and fairly distributed through
out the country.
Labor and Arbitration Wo favor
tho ei'jht-hour day. We believe in tho
conciliation of capital and labor and
favor every legitimate means for tho
adjustment of disputes between cor
porate employers and their employes
to tho end that jintlce may be done to
those who toil and that society may bo
relieved from the embarrassment oc
casioned by prolonged strikes and
lockouts.
Injunctions Wo favor such a modi
fication of the law relating to injunc
tions as will, first, prevent the issuing
of tho writ in industrial disputes, ex
cept after notice to defendants; sec
ond, permit trial before a judge other
than the one who issued the writ, and,
third, allow a jury to bo summoned in
all cases whore tho alleged contempt
Is committed outside the presence of
the court.
Employers Liability Wo favor an
employers' liability law, applicable to
both private and public employers.
Immigration Wo favor full protec
tion by both national and state gov
ernments within their respective
spheres of all foreigners residing in
the United States under treaty, but we
aro opposed to the admission of Asiat
ic immigrants who cannot be amal
gamated with our population or whoso
presence among us would raise a race
Issue and involve us in diplomatic con
troversies with oriental powers, and
wo demand a stricter enforcement of
tho immigration laws against any im
migrant who advocates assassination
as a means of reforming our govern
ment. Canal and Water Ways We bellovo
that tho Panama canal will prove 'of
great value to our country nnd favor
Its speedy completion. We urge liber
al appropriations for tho improvement
and development of lntorlor wnter
ways, believing that such expenditures
will return a large dividend in loS'
sened cost of transportation.
Pensions Wo favor a gonorous pen
sion policy, both as a matter of justice
to tho surviving veterans and their de
pendents and because it relieves the
country of tho necessity of mnintnliv
ing a largo standing army.
Philippines Wo condemn tho ox
porlmont in Imperialism as an inex
cusnblo blunder which has Involved us
in an enormous expense, brought us
woakness lnstend of strength and laid
our nation open to tho charge of aban
doning the fundamental doctrine of
solf-governnient. Wo favor an Immo
dlato declaration of tho nation's pur
pose to recognize tho independence of
the Philippines as soon as a stablo
government can bo established, such
independence to bo guaranteed by us
ns wo guarantee the independence o
Cuba until tho neutralization of the
Islands' can bo secured by treaty with
othor powers. In recognizing the in
dopondonco of tho Philippines our gov
eminent could retain such land as may
bo necoBsary for coaling stations and
naval buses.

In tho Manhattan district he organ
ized and developed tho Manhattan
Chipmunk property, after which he
went back to Goldfleld and in partner
ship secured a lease of the Mohawk

DIFFERENT NOW
Athlete Finds Better Training Food.
It was formerly tho belief that to
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty of meat.
This is all out of date now, and
many trainers feed athletes on the
well-known food, Grape-Nuts, mado of
wheat and barley, and cut the meat
down to a small portion onco a day.
"Three years ago," writes a Mich,
man, "having become interested, in
athletics, I found I would havo to stop
eating pastry and some other kinds
of food.
"I got some Grape-Nuts, and was
soon eating tho food tit every meal,
for I found that when I went on tho
track, I feltmoro lively and active.
"Later, I b'egan also to drink Postum
In place of coffeo, and the way I
gained musclo nnd strength on this
diet was certainly great. On tho day
of a field meet in Juno I weighed 124
lbs. On tho opening of tho football

tribute my fino condition nnd good
work to tho discontinuation of im-,
proper food nnd coffee, and tho using
of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my princi
pal diet during training season being
Grape-Nuts.
"Beforo I used Grape-Nuts I never
felt right in tho morning always kind
of 'out of sorts' with my stomach. But
now when I riso I feel good, and after
