Imperialism, Porto Rico Law and also the Dingley Tariff Law. Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., July 5. At 5:21 the reading of the plat form, by Senator Tillman, interrupted by delegates marching about the hall with banners and with cheers was fin ished and the platform adopted by ac clamation. It Is as follows: We, the representatives of the demo cratic party of the United Slates, as sembled In national convention on the anniversary of the adoption of the De claration of Independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal proclama tion of the Inalienable rights of man and our allegiance to the constitution iramed in harmony therewith by the fathers of the republic. We hold with the United States supreme court that the Declaration of Independence is the spirit or our government, of wh.cti the constitution lb the form and letter. We declare again that ail governments in stituted among men derive their Just powers froai the consent of the govern ed; that any government not baaed upon the consent of the governed is a tyranny; and that to impose upon any people a government of force la to sub stitute the methods of Imperialism for those of a republic. We hold that the sonstitution follows, the flag and de nounce the doctrine that an executive or congress deriving their existence and their powers from the constitution can exercise lawful authority beyond It, or In violation of it. We assert that no nation can long endure half repub lic and half empire and we warn the American people that imix-riallsin abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home. DENOUNCE PORTO RICO LAW. Believing in these fundamental prin ciples, we denounce the Porto Rico law. enacted by a republican congress as against the protest and opposition of the democratic minority, as a bold and open violation of the nation's organic law and a flagrant breach of the na tional good faith. It imposes upon the people of Porto Rico a government without their consent and taxation without representation. It dishonors the American people by repudiating a solemn pledge made in their behalf by the commanding general of our army, wnicn tne Porto Kicans welcomed to a peaceful and unrestricted occupation or tneir land. It doomed to poverty and distress a people whose helplessness ap peals with peculiar force dr justice and magnanimity. In i Atrts, the first act of its imperialistic 4tgram, the repub lican party seek to commit the United States tfo a colonial pollcv. Inconsistent lih the republican Institutions and condemned by the supreme court in nu merous decisions. GOOD FAITH WITH CUBA. We demand the prompt and honest fulfillment of our pledge to the Cuban people and the world, that the United States has no disposition nor Intention to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction, or control over the island of Cuba, except for its pacification. The war ended nearly two years ago. Profound peace reigns over all the Island, and sliil the administration keeps the government of the island from its people, while re publican carpet bag officials plunder its revenues and exploit the colonial theory to the disgrace of the American people. i DUTY TO PHILIPPINES. We condemn and denounce the Phil ippine policy of the present adminis tration. It has embroiled the republic in an unnecessary war, sacrificed the lives of many of Its noblest sons and placed the United States, previously known and applauded throughout the world as the champion of freedom. In the false and un-American position of crushing with military force the efforts of our former allies to achieve liberty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot be citizens without endangering our civilization; they cannot be sub jects without Imperiling our form of government, and as we are not willing to surrender our civilization or to con vert the republic into an empire, we fa vor an immediate declaration of the na tion's purpose to give to the Filipinos, first, a stable form of government; sec ond. Independence, and third, protection from outside Interference, such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central arid South America. WAR OF CRIMINAL, AGGRESSION , The greedy commercialism which dic tated the Philippine policy of the re publican administration attempts to Justify, wilh the pica that It' will pay, but even this hoi did and unworthy plan fails when brought to the tett of fact. The war of "criminal agresion" against the Filipino, entailing an an nual expense of many millions, has al ready cost more than any psHibl prof, it that could a-ture ftom the entirf Philippine trade for ytais to come. Furthermore, when trade is .extended at the expense of liberty, the price is always to high. THE RIGHT EXPANSION. We are not opposed to territorial ex pansion, when it takes In desirable ter ritory which can be erected into states In the union and whose people are w ill ing and fit to become American citizens. We favor trade expansion by every peaceful means. But we are unalter ably opposed to the seizing or purchas ing of distant Islands to be governed outside the constitution and whose peo ple can never become citizens. We are In favor of extending the re public's Influence among the nations, but believe that Influence should be ex tended not by force and violence, but through the persuasive power of a high and honorable example. . THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. The Importance of other questions now pending before the American peo ple Is In no wise diminished, and the democratic party takes no backward step from Its position on them, but th burning Issue of Imperialism growrivj out Of the Sfattish war Involves the try existence of the republic and the destruction of our free Institutions. W regard ' it as the paramount issue of the campaign. MONRO DOCTRIWB GOOD. The declerstion of the republican platform adopted at the Philadelphia PLATFORM. convention, held in June, 1WI0, .that the republican party "steadfastly adheres to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine," is manifestly Insincere and deceptive. This profession f contra dicted by the avowed policy of that party in opposition to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine, to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas of terri '. tory and large numbers of people in I the eastern hemisphere. We insist on the strict maintenance of th Monroe doctrine and in all its integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to prevent the extension of turopean au thority on this continent and essential to our supremacy in American affairs. At the same time we declare that no American people shall ever be held by force in unwilling subjection to Euro pean authority. DANGER OF MILITARISM. We oppose militarism. It means con quest abroad and Intimidation and op pression at home. It means the strong arm which has ever been fatal to fiee institutions. It is what millions of our ciiizens have fled from in Kurope. It will Impose upon our peace loving peo ple a large standing army and unnec essary burden of taxation and a con stant menace to their liberties. A small standing army and well disci plined state .militia are amply suffi cient in time of peace. This republic has no place for a vast military service and conscription. When the nation ic in danger the volunteer soldier is his country's best defender. The nationa. guards of the United States should ever be cherished in the patriotic hearts of a free peoplu. Such organizations are ever an element of strength iind safety. For the firtit tim; in our history and! co-evil with the Pr llij pil e conquest, has there been a whole departure from out time-hurmred and approved system of volunteer organization. We denounce It as un-American, undemocratic and un republican and as a subversion of the ancient arid fixed principle of a fie people. PRIVATE MONOPOLY EVIU Private monopolies are indefensible and intolerable. They destroy compe tition,' control the pure of all material and of the finished -product, thus rob bing both producer and consumer. They lessen the employment of labor and ar bitiarily fix the terms and conditions thereof and deprive individual energy and small capital of their opportunity tor betterment. They are the mort efficient means yet devised for appropriating the trults'of industry to the benefit of the few ut the expense of the many and unless their greed Is checked all wealth will be aggregated in a few hands and the republic destrojed. The dishonest pal tering wilh the trust evil by the repub lican party in state and national plat forms is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that trusts are the legltl- mate product of republican policies, that they are fostered by republican laws and that they are protected by the refiubllcan administration in retutn for campaign subscriptions and political support. CONTROL- OP TRUST3. The failure of the present administra tion, with an absolute control over all the branches of the national govern ment, to enact any legislation designed to prevent or even curtail the absorb ing power of trusts and illegal combi nations, or to enforce the anti-tVust laws already on the statute books, proves the Insincerity of the high sounding phrases of the republican platform. Corporations should be pro tected in their rights and their legiti mate interests should be respected, but any attempt by corporations to inter fere wilh the public affairs of the peo ple or to control the sovereignty which creates them, should be forbidden un der such penalties as will make such attempts impossible. BREEDER OF TRUSTS. Wre condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding measure, skiilfully devised to give the few favors which they do not deserve, and to place upon the many burdens which they should not bear. We favor such an enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law aa will enable the commission to protect Individuals and communities from dis criminations and the public from unjust and unfair transportation rates. AMERICAN FINANCE FOR AMERI CANS. We reaffirm and Indorse the princi ples of the national democratic plat form adopted at Chicago, in 18M, and we reiterate the demand of that plat form for an American flnacial system made by the American people for them selves, which shal lrestore and maintain a bimetallic price level, and as part of such system the Immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver and gold at the present legal ratio of 14 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We denounce the currency bill enact ed at the last session of congress, as a step forward In the republican policy which alms to discredit the sovereign right of the national government to is sue ail money, whether coin or paper, and to bestow upon national banks the power tr issue and control the volume of paper money for tlielr own benefit. A permanent national bank currency, secured by government bonds, must have a permanent di bt to rest upon, and If the bank currency Is to lucres kc with population and business, the debt must a. so incr"'-"e. The republican currency sche-. ,s therefore a heme for fastening upon tho taxpayers a per. petual and growing debt. .NO WATERED STOCK. We pledge the democratic party to an unceasing warfare In nation, state and city against private monopoly in every form. Existing laws against trusts must be enforced and more stringent ones must be enacted providing for publicity as to the affairs of corpora tions engsged in interstate commerce and requiring all corporations to show, before doing business outside of the state of their origin, that tbey have no water In their stock, and that they have not attempted and are not at tempting to monopolize any branch of business or the production of any arti cle of merchandise and the whole con stitutional power of congress over In terstate commerce, the malls aid all modes of Interstate commerce shall be exercised by the enactment of compre hensive laws upon the subject of trusts. Tariff laws should be amended by put ting the products of trusts upon (lie free list to prevent monopoly under the plita of protection. ",.. RETIREMENT OF BANKNOTES. Debt for the benefit offbe banks. Wis are opoeed to this private corpora tion paper circulated as money, but without legal Undr qualities and de mand the re tire -sent of the national bank notes as fast as government paper or silver cerilfleatu ca be auhatltuufl lot (beak -.. - ' SENATORS BT THE PEOPLE, We favor an amendment to the fed eral constitution providing (or the elec tion of United States senators by a di rect vote of the people, and we favor a direct legislation wherever practicable. NO GOVERNMENT BT INJUNCTION We are opposed to government by In junction; we denounce the blacklist and favor arbitration as a means of settling disputes between corporations and their employes. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. In the Interest of American labor and the upbuilding of the workingman as the corner stone of the prosperity of our country, we recommend that con gress create a department of labor, In charge of a secretary, with a seat in the cabinet, because the Increased pros perity of the laborer will bring with It increased production and Increased prosperity to our country at home and to our commerce abroad. LIUEItAL PENSIONS. 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 dependents and we reiterate the position taken in' the Chicago platform in lMitf that the fact of enlistment and service shall be deemed conclusive evidence against dis ease and disability before enlistment. AMERICAN CAf AL We favor the immediate construc tion, ownership and control of the Nl- caraguan canal and we denounce the Insincerity of the plank in the republic an national platform for an ibthmiart canal in the face of the failure of the1 republican party to pass the bill pend ing In congress. SUP-RENDER TO ENGLAND. We condemn the Huy-Pauncefole treaty as a surrender of American right sand Intertsts, not to be loa-ralcd by the American people. STATEHOOD. We denounce the failure of the re publican party to carry out iis pledge.! to grant "Statehood to the territories ul Arizona, New Mexieo and Oklahoma, and we pronil.se the people of those Iff ritories Immediate statehood and hoini rule during their c ondition as ten it ries, and we favor home rule and a ter' ritoriul form of government for Alai-ku and Porto lilco. We favor an Intelligent system of Im proving the arid lands of the west, storinghe waters for purposes of irri gation and the holding of such land I for actual settlers. We favor the continuance and strlcl enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act and its ' application to the samJ classes of all Asiatic races. LAND-GRABBING CONDEMNED. Jefferson said; "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, en- tangling alliances with none." We ap' prove this wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest against the republic an departure which has involved us in so-called world politics, including thu diplomacy of Europe and the intrlgui and land-grabhlng of' Asia, and we es pecially condemn the Ill-concealed re' publican alliance with England, which must mean discrimination against oth er friendly nations, and which has al ready stilled thu nation's voice whilj liberty is being strangled in Africa. SYMPATHY FOR BOERS. Believing in the principles of self-government and rejecting as did our fore' fathers the claim of monarchy, i view with indignation the purpose ol England to overwhelm with force th j" South African republics. Speaking, ai we believe, for the tntlre Amencai; nation, except its republican officehold ers and for all free men everywhere, w i extend our sympathies to the herol I burghers in their unequal stiuggle I) maintain their liberty and independ ence. We denounce the lavish appropria tions of recent republican congresses, j which have Ttept taxes high and whicilj threaten the perpetuation of the op pressive war levies. We oppose the uc cumulation of a surplus to be squan dered in such barefaced frauds upon the taxpayers as the shipping subsidy bill, which, under the false pretense ol prosp ng American shipbuilding! would put unearned millions Into tlu pockets of favorite contributors to thii republican campaign fund'. We favof the reduction and speedy removal of the war taxes and a return to the tlme-i honored democratic jotley of atricl economy in government expenditures. APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. Believing that our most cherished in stitutions are in great peril, that the very existence of our constitutional re public is at stake and that the decision now to be rendered will 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 de claration of principles the hearty sup port of the liberty loving American peo. pie, regardless of previous party affili ations. Committee on Credentials. Kansas City, Mo., July 4. The com mittee on credentials made quick work of the contests. They assembled al the Kansas fjlty club and Edward (Iraj of Texas was made chairman. The only hearing given was to the Dlstnd of Columbia and the committee decided to hdiiilt both delegations, with half a oie each. W hen the Indian Territory case wa I reached Chairman Gray called our "Sheriff, -being In the Indian Territory contesting delegations. Search them an I take j away their knives and pulo.i. ' After a very brief hearing each dele gation was seated with half a vote. The greatest contest was on the Mon tana delegation, and when It was caliej a motion was made to ratify the action of the national committee and seat th Clark delegation. A substitute to glv each side a hearing was defeated by a vote of 32 to 13 and the Clark delega tion was seated without a division. The Oklahoma contestant swere given a half a vote each, although there wai a protest from both factions. Two New York men Forest and Ma honey, representing what they said were "the Bryan democracy of Nee York," wanted a hearing. They had bearing before the New York delega tion yesterday and the credentials com mlttee decided not to take up the mat ter. The committee adjourned and thel there was a row. The New York, met and the Oklahoma men began speaking The crowd surgd In, mounted chain and pushed around the table. Ma honey made himself chairman and at tempted to secure order. An attetnp was made to get the dissatisfied ele ment from all slates and territories t organise a protest and submit a minor Ity report to the convention. Finally Mahoncy got order lon enough to make a speech, denounclni Hill, Croker. Murphy and Van Wyck and the democrats who supported Ibem Soon there waa pandemonium and th aide meeting terminated. GOMOTIO SILVER REPUBLICANS MEET IN CONVENTION. MR. TOVNE PRESIDES. Delegates In Attendance From All Parts of the United States To Continue Their Party. Kansas City, Mo., July 4. The na- lional convention of the silver repub lican party met in the Auditorium the iter today. The delegates were rather do win arriving, and It was some time sifter 12 o'clock, the hour fixed for thu convention, when Chairman Charles A. rowne's gavel fell and the party form ed In St. Iajuis four years ago, after the bolt of the advocates of free silver from the republican national conven tion was launched on its first regular national gathering. Twenty-four states ind territories were represented at the convention. Comparatively few spectators were present, owing to the assembling of ths democratic national convention, but hele were delegates lu abundance, es- jpeclally largo delegations being seated from Kansas, Nebrassa, Minnesota, Iowa and Colorado. Other states rep resented by smaller d-legations were Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Indian territory, Idalio, Michigan, Mon tana, Missouti. Ohio, Oklahoma. Ore on. New Jersey, North Dakota, Penn sylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah arid West Virginia. Shortly before 1 o'clock the Mlnne- j lota delegates, bended by a brans band i and carrying a huge banner bearing' '.he pictures of Bryan and Towue, . en-! ;ered the hall amid a roar of cheering, 1 and a moment after Chairman Towns rapped the convention to order and m- . reduced Rev. Dr. Ihgelow of Ciiielii tall, who invoked divine bhssing oil the convention. APPI-AUSE FOR PRAYER. ir. i-.igeiow s prayer was a passlon- lte appeal f .r relief from the "chains ihat are binding us and the golden pad iocks that arc- being forged for our ips, from the national sin and tile ven Seance that is sure to follow." "In that solemn day," Dr. Bigelow continued, (hat comes to men and n tlons, and when that destiny shall have .'ully speared, as we are now shaping t, may we not have to point for Justifl cation to the altars raised on the souls jf our fellow men." The unusual spectacle was then pre sented of a minister being cheered. 'Thank God there's one minister who loves the poor." shouted a California Ji-legate, and the delegates cheered and applauded. After the playing of the "Star Span iied Banner" by the Posten military oand of Minneapolis, The secretary of the committee read the call for th convention and Stanley E. I'arkhill of Minnesota read the Declaration of In lependence. Several of the sentimenrs f the paper were applauded during the ending. After the wading of the declaration, the delegates and audience stood while the band rendered "America." Temporary Chairman Towne then in troduted Mr. Howard S. Taylor of Chi cago, a poet of the new polltlca movement, who read his poem entitled "The Liberty Bell." TEDDY'S BORROWED PLUME. Preceding the recitation of the poem the author, to the gratification of thf convention, made a short speech I e which he compared some of the leading characters of 1778 to those v.f the last republican convention, In Philadelphia His remark that George Washingtor was conspicuously distinguished frorr. some of those of 1900, In that he coulri not tell a lie, met with a spirited re sponse from the convention. Mis refer ence to the military career of Roose velt, in which he charged that the lat ter was wearing the plume which .be longed to the Ninth and Tenth (colored; regiments, caused a demonstratlor which threatened to delay the proceed ings of the convention. Temporary Chairman Towne then delivered an ad dress. (Mr. Towne's address appears in full In another part of this paper.) Mr. Towne's declaration that the re publican platform amounted to a repea of the Declaration of Independent- brought the delegates to their feet, an! his statement that the convention hac met to redeclare the principles of thai Instrument was enthusiastically ap plauded. "I wish now to Introduce as tempo rary chairman," said Mr. Towne Ir conclusion, that grand old man ol Colorado, Senator Henry M. Teller Every delegate jumped to his feet and shouted his approval of Senator Tel ler as the latter stepped to the speak er's table. Mr. Towne presented Speaker Tellei with a gavel made from wood taker from Lincoln's old home at Springfield HI., which whs presented to the con vention by Lincoln Bubois of Illinois. Mr. Teller then delivered an eloquent address, dealing with the monetary juculon and bitterly denouncing tin diseslriblishmerit of silver. Chairman Teller was given the c.- est Htternion throughout his speech which was nearly an hour in duration Were wo wrong In leaving the St Ifiuis convention?" nuelloiiel n4. nn(j a score of noes came from the dele gates. --"If I had not left the party In 1W1 I would have done so tviy luuntii Ince," said he, digressing again. "Thi conditions are now a thousand timet worse than they were then," The first mention of Mr. Ilryan't name came near the end of Chairman Teller's areerh. It started a perfect ttorm of applause, but the demonstra tion was excelled by that which oc curred when Charles A. Towne's nami sras mentioned. The delegates, one and til. Jumped to their feet, waving flags, handkerchiefs, fans and hats and shouting and cheering for Bryan and Towne. For two or three minutes th delegates cheered for their choices and when a moment later Chairman Tellct finished his speech and sank - nearly exhausted Into his chair, he was sur rounded by a number of the delegate! on the stage and congratulated. K. 8. Corser of Minnesota presented resolution providing for a committee ol fifteen" of which Henry M. Teller shal' be chairman, to present to the demo cratic convention the names of Charlei A. Towne as a candidate for vice presl dent, and that a similar committee ol conference be appointed to confer will a similar committee which shall be ap. pointed by the democratic nalloral con ventlon.
