false and un-American position of
crushing with military force the ef

liberty and self-government. Th Fil
ipinos cannot be citizens without en

not be subjects without Imperiling our

willing to surrender our civilization
or to convert the republic Into an em

tion of the nation's purpose to give to
the Filipinos first a stable form of gov
ernment, second Independence and
third protection from outside interfer
ence such as has been given for nearly
a century to the republics of Central
and South America.
The greedy commercialism which
dictated the Philippine policy of the
republican administration attempts to
Justify it with the plea that it will
pay. but even this sordid and un
worthy plea falls when brought to the
test of facts.. The war of "criminal
aggression against the Filipinos," en
tailing an annual expense of many
millions, has already cost more than
any possible profit that could accrue
from the entire Philippine trade for
years to come. Furthermore, when
trade is extended at the expense of
liberty the price is always too high.

most efficient means yet devised for
appropriating the fruits of industry to
the benefit of the few at the expense
gregated ln a few hand3 and the repub
lic destroyed. The dishonest pelter
fng with the trust evil by the republi
can party in state and national plat
forms Is conclusive proof of the truth
of the charge that truats are the leglt-
Imate product of republican policies;
that they are fostered by republican
laws, and that they are protected by
the republican administration In return
for campaign subscriptions and polit-
' leal support. We pledge the demo
cratic party to an unceasing warfare
In nation, state and city against pri
vate monopoly ln every form. Existing
' laws against trusts must be enforced
and more stringent ones must be en
acted providing for publicity as to the
. agatrs of corporations engaged In in-
ter-state commerce and requiring all
corporations to show before doing busi
ness outside of the state of their origin,
tha t they have no water in their stock,
and that they have not attempted, and
are not attempting, to monopolize any
branch of business or the production
of any articles of merchandise, and the
whole constitutional power of congress
over inter-state commerce, the mails
and all modes of inter-state communi
cation shall be exercised by the enact
ment of comprehensive laws upon, the
subject of trusts. Tariff laws should
be amended by putting the products
of trusts on the free trade list to pre
vent monopoly under the plea of protection.
The failure of the present republican
administration, with an absolute con
trol oyer all the branches of the na
tional government, to enact any legis-.
la t ion designed to prevent or even cur
tail the absorbing power of trusts and,
Illegal combinations, or to enforce , the
anti-trust laws already on the statute
books prove the insincerity of the high
sounding phrases of - the republican
platform.
Corporations should be protected In
all their rights and their legitimate In
terests should be respected but any
attempt by corporations to interfere
with the affairs of the people or to
control the sovereignty which creates
them should be forbidden under such
penalties as will make such attempts
impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as a trust-breeding measure, skilfully
devised to give the few favors which
they do not desire and to place upon
the many burdens which they should
not bear.
We favor such an enlargement of the
scope of the inter-state commerce law
as will enable the commission to pro
tect individuals and communities from
discriminations and the public from
unjust and unfair transportation rates.
Sixteen to On..
We re-affirm and indorse the princi
ples of the national democratic plat
form"adopted at Chicago in 1896 and we
reiterate the demand of that platform
for an American financial -system made
by the American people for themselves
which shall restore and maintain a
bimetallic price-level and as part of
such system the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of sixteen to one without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any
other nation.
W'e denounce the currency bill en
acted at the last session of congress
as a step forward in the republican
policy which aims to discredit the sov
eign right of the national government
to issue all money, whether coin, or
paper, and to bestow upon national
banKS the power to Issue and control
the volume of paper money for their
own benefit. A permanent national
bank currency, secured by government
bonds, must have a permanent debt
to rest upon, and If the bank cur
rency Is to increase with population
and business, the debt must also in
crease. The republican currency
scheme is there as a scheme for plac
ing upon the taxpayer a perpetual and
growing debt, debt for the benefit of
the banks.
We are opposed to this private cor
poration paper circulated as money but
without legal tender qualities and the
retirement of the national bank notes
as fast as government paper or silver
certificates can be substiuted for them.
Direct Vote and Injunction.
We favor an amendment to the fed
eral constitution providing for the elec
tion of United States senators by a
direct vote of the people and we fa
vor direct legislation wherever practic
able. We are opposed to government by
Injunction. We denounce the blacklist
and favor arbitration as a means of
settling disputes between corporations
and their employes.
In the interest of American labor
and the uplifting of the workingman,
as the cornerstone of the prosperity
of our country, we recommend that
congress create a department of labor
in charge of a secretary with a seat
ln the cabinet, believing that the-elevation
of the American laborer will
bring with it Increased production and
increase prosperity to our country at
home and to our commerce abroad.
We are proud of the courage and
fidelity of the American soldiers and
sailors in all our wars; we favor liberal
pensions to them and their depend
ents, and we reiterate the position
taken in the Chicago platform in 1S9S
that the fact of enlistment and ser
vice shall be deemed conclusive ev
idence against disease and disability
before enlistment.
We favor the Immediate construc
tion, ownership and control of tne
Xlcaraguan canal by the United States
and we denounce the insincerity of the
plank in the national republican plat-
form for an isthmian canal in the face
Jorlty to pass the bill pending in con
gress. We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty as a surrender of American
rights and interests, not to be tolerated
by the American people.
We denounce the failure of the re
publican party to carry out Its pledges,
to grant statehood to the territories or
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma,
and we promise the people of those ter
ritories immediate statehood and home
rule during their condition of terri
tories and we favor home rule and a
territorial form of government for
Alaska and Porto Rico.
We favor an intelligent ' system of
improving the arid lands of the west,
storing the waters for purposes of ir
rigation and the holding of such lands
for actual settlers.
We favor the continuance and strict
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
law and its application to the same
classes of all Asiatic races.
Xo Compact With England.
Jeerson said: "Peace, commerce and
honest friendship with all nations; en
tangling alliances with none."
We approve this wholesome doctrine
and earnestly protest against the re
publican departure which has been in
volved in so-called polities, including
the diplomacy of Europe and the in
trigue and land-grabbing of Asia and
we condemn the ill-concealed republi
can alliance with England, which must
mean discrimination between other
friendly nations, and which has al
ready stilled the nation's voice, while
liberty is being strangled ln Africa.
Believing in the principles of safe
government and rejecting, as did our
xoreratners, the claim of monarchv. we
view with indignation the purpose of
cngiana io overwhelm with force the
boutn African republics. Speaking as
we ao ior tne entire American nation
except its republican officeholders and
for all free men everywhere we offer
our sympathies to the burghers in
their unequal struggle to maintain
their liberty and independence.
We denounce the lavish appropria
tions of recent republican congresses
which have kept taxes high and which
tnreaten the perpetuation of the op
pressive war levies. We oppose the
accumulation of a surplus to be sauan
dered in such barefaced frauds upon
the taxpayer as the shipping subsidy
bill, which, under the false pretense of
fostering American shipbuilding. would
put unearned millions into the pockets
of the favored contributors to the re
publican campaign fund.
We favor the reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes and a return
to the time-honored democratic policy
of strict economy In governmental ex
penditures. . .
Believing that "our most cherished
Institutions are in great peril, that the
very existence of the constitutional re
public Is at stake, and that the deci
sion now to be rendered wili determine
whether or not our children are to en
Joy those blessed privileges of free gov
ernment which have made the United
States great, prosperous and honored,
we earnestly ask for the foregoing dec
laration of principles the hearty sup
port of the liberty-loving American
people, regardless of previous party af
filiations. '
Reviews the Platform
Immediately after the adoption of the
platform, reviewing it Mr. Bryan said:
"I am very much gratified to learn of
the adoption of a platform which is clear
and explicit on- every question. The
controversy over the silver plank was
not a controversy between men who dif-.
fered in principle, but rather a differ
ence of opinion as to the best method of
stating the question. If we only had
democrats to deal with, a simple re af
firmation would have been sufficient, but
we have to deal with republicans as well
as democrats, and some of the republic
cans would misconstrue a re-affirmation
and endeavor to twist it into an evasion
or abandonment of the silver question.
"Our appeal is to the patriotism and
conscience of the people, and we must
take them into our confidence if we
expect them to have confidence in us.
"Our platform deals honestly and fear
lessly with every question before the
public and, since we have nothing to ex
plain, we can spend all of our time in as
saults upon republican policies. The in
dustrial trusts have alarmed many who
were not with us in our tight against the
money trust in '96. We shall not dissa
point them; we shall not cease our ef
forts until every private monopoly is de
stroyed. Imperialism appeals to many as the
most dangerous of the evils now men
acing our country. It involves not only
a change of our ideas of government,
but a return to the militarism of the
old world. No matter how men may
differ as to the relative importance
of the questions now before the coun
try, every one must recognize that an
economic evil can be corrected more
easily than one which attacks the
foundations of government. If we ad
here to the principle that government
is a thing made by the people for
themselves, the people can m time
remedy every wrong, but if that doctrine
is once surrendered the people are pow
erless to redress any grievance. The six
and a half millions who supported the
Chicago platform in 1896 stand like a
solid wall against the trusts and aerainst
imperialism. If ten' per cent of those
who, by voting the republican ticket,
brought the present dangers upon the
country, will join with us this nation
will once more become the champion of
liberty and an inspiration to the op
pressed everywhere."

An Ideal Climate
The first white man to set toot on
Utah soil, Father Silvestre Velez de
Escalante, who reached " the GREAT
SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept.,
1776, wrote in his diary: "Here the
climate is so delicious, the air so
balmy, that it is a pleasure to breathe
by day and by night." The climate of
Utah is one of the richest endowments
of nature. On the shores of. the Great
Salt Lake especially and for fifty
miles therefrom in every direction
the climate of climates is found. To
enable persons to participate in these
scenic and climatic attractions and to
reach the famous HEALTH. BATHING
AND PLEASURE RESORTS of Utah,
