DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES OF THE DEMOCRATS
DECLARED IN KANSAS CITY.
16 TO I IS REAFFIRMED
Osnoupcei the Trusts. 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. ",..

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

to hdiiilt both delegations, with half a

After a very brief hearing each dele

The greatest contest was on the Mon

The Oklahoma contestant swere given

Two New York men Forest and Ma

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

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

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

shouted his approval of Senator Tel

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.-

The first mention of Mr. Ilryan't

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

handkerchiefs, fans and hats and
shouting and cheering for Bryan and
