The Flniliicllll I'lnnL.
Thf platform reiterates tho demand con
tained In the Chicago platform for an Amer
ican llnanclal system made by tho Aiuer
lenn people for themselves. Tho purpose
of Biich a system Is to reslor6 and maintain
a bimetallic level' of prices and In order
that there may bo no uncertainly as to
the. uiothod of restoring bimetallism, the
specific declaration In finer of tree and un
limited coinage at tho existing ratio of 1G
lo 1, Independent of the action of other
nation, Is repeated. In 1836 tho repub
lican party recognized the necessity for
bimetallism by pledging the party to an
earnest effort to secure an international
agreement for tho free coinage of silver
and tho president. Immediately after his
Inauguration,. by authority of congress, ap
pointed n commission: composed of dig
tlngiilshcd citizens, to visit Europe and so
licit forelKti nld. Secretary Hay, In n letter
written to Lord Aldenhain In November,
1K08, and afterwards published In England,
declared that at that tlmo tho president
and a majority of his cabinet still believed
In tho great desirability of un lntorniitlonal
agreement for the restoration of tho double
standord, but that It did not seem oppor
tune to Tcopen the negotiation! Just then.
The financial law enacted Icsb than a year
Ago contains a concluding section declaring
that tho measure was not Intended to stand
In the wny of tho restoration of bimetal
lism, whenever It could be dono by co
operation with other nations. The platform
tubmlttod to tho last republican convention,
with the Indorsement of the administration,
lgaln suggested tho possibility of securing
foreign aid In restoring silver.
Now thu republican party for tho first
time openly abandons Its advocacy of the
double standard and Indorses tho monetary
system which It has so often and so em
phatically condemned. Tho ilemocratL
party, on tho contrary, remains tho stead
fast advocate of the- gold and silver coinage
of tho constitution anil Is not willing that
other nations shall dotcrmlno for us tho
tlmo and manner of restoring silver to Its
ancient place as n standard money. Thu
ratio of 16 to 1 Is not only tho ratio now
existing between all tho gold and silver
dollars In circulation In this country, a
ratio which oven tho republican adminis
tration lias not nttempted to change, but
It Is tho only ratio advocated by those who
nro seeking to reopen tho mints. Whether
tho senate, now hnstiln to bimetallism,
can bo changed during this campaign or
the campaign of 1902 can only b'o determ
ined after the votes are counted, but
neither the present nor tho futuro political
complexion of congress has prevented or
should prevent an nnnouncemout of tho
party's position upon this subject In un
caulvoral terms.
Tho currcucy bill, which received the
sanction of tho oxecutlvo and tho repub

cratlc party m 1S96. It was then pre
dicted that tho republican party would at
tempt to ictlro the greenbacks although
the party and Its leaders studiously con
cealed their Intentions. That purpose Is
now nlaln and tho pcoplo must chooso be
tween the retention of tho greenback,
Issucil und controlled In volume by the
government, and a national bank note cur
rency iBsued by banks and controlled In
their own interests. If tho national bank
notes aro to be secured by bonds tho cur
rency system now supported by tho re
publican party involves a permanent and
Increasing debt and so long as this sys
tem stands tho flunnctnl classes will be
tempted to throw their powerful Influence
upon tho sldo of any measure which will
contribute to tho stzo and permanency of
n national debt. It Is hardly conceivable
that tho American pcoplo will deliberately
turn from tho debt-paying policy of the
past to the ditngerous doctrlno of perpetual
bonds.
lOlrctlnn of Senntur by ilio I'coplc.
The demand (or a constitutional amend
ment providing for tho election of sen
ators by direct voto of tho people appears
for the first tlmo In a democratic national
platform, but n resolution proposing such
an amendment has three times passed the
house of representatives and that, too,
practically without opposition. Whatever
may have been the reasons which secured
the adoption of tho present plan a cen
tury ago new conditions have made it Im
perative that tho people bo permitted to
speak directly In tho selection of their
representatives In the senate. A senator
is no less tho representative, of the state
because ho receives his commission from
tho people themselves rather than from
tho members of the state legislature. If
a voter Is competent to voto for a mem
ber of congress, for state officers and for
president he Is competent to choose his
representative In tho senate. A system
which makes tho senator responsible for
his election to the people as a whole and
nmenablo to them If he misrepresents
them must commend Itself to those who
hae confldenco In the Intelligence and
patriotism of tho masses.
Itltpct Lobulation,
The platform Indorse tho principle of
direct legislation. This Is nlrcady applied
to tho more Important questions In nation,
stnto aud city. It rests upon the sound
theory that tho people can be trusted and
that tho moro responsive tho government
Is to the will of the pcoplo tho moro free
It will bo from misuse and abuse.
I.nlior (liicxtlon.
Several plunks of tho Inbor platform
aro devoted to questions In which tho la
boring cJhbsob hnvo an Immediate Interest,
but which moro remotely affect our entire
population. While what is generally known
us government by Injunction Is at present
directed chiefly ngnlnst tho employes of
corporations, when thoro Is a disagree
ment between them and their employer It
involves: a principle which concerns every
one. The purposo of tho Injunction In such
cases Is to subBtltuto trial by Judge for
trial by JuryVnd Is a covert blow at tho
Jury syBtem. Tho abolition of government
by Injunction is as necessary for tho pro
tection of tho court us It Is for tho se
curity of tho citizen. Illackstono In do
fending trial by Jury says:
"Tho Impartial administration of Jus
tice, which secures bcth our persons and
our properties, Is tho great ond of civil so
ciety, but If that bo Intrusted entirely to
tho magistracy, a select body of men, and
thoso selected by tho prince such as enjoy
tho highest ofllces of tho state, their de
cisions, In spito of their natural Integrity,
will lrnve frequently an luvoluntnry bias
toward thoso of their own rank and dignity.
It Is uot to bo expected from human na
ture that tho fow should be always atten
tive to tho Interests und good of tho many."
If tho criminal laws are not sufficient for
tho protection of property thoy can be
made moro Bevcre, but a citizen charged
with a crlmo must have his cuo tried bo
fore a Jury of his peers.

control over tho wage-earners which a
private monopoly exercises without con
tract. Arbitration.
The platform renews the demand for
arbitration between corporations and their
employes, No one who has observed the
friction which arises between great cor
porations and their numerous employes can
doubt the wisdom of establishing an Im
partial court for tho just and cqultablo set
tlement of disputes. The demand for arbi
tration ought to bo supported as heartily
by the public, which suffers Inconvenience
because of strikes nnd lockouts, and by tho
employers themselves, as by tho employes.
The establishment of arbitration will Insuro
friendly relations between labor and cap
ital and render obsolete tho growing prae
tlco ot calling In the nrmy to settle labor
troubles.
Ilcinrtmeiit of I.nlior.
I cannot too strongly emphasize the Im
portance of the platform recommendation of
tho establishment ot a department ot labor,
with a member of the cabinet nt Its head.
When we remember how Important a po
sition tho laborer fills In our economic, so
cial and political fabric, It Is hard to con
colvo of a valid objection being mudo to this
recognition of his services. Agriculture Is
already represented In the president's offi
cial household; the army and navy have
their representatives there; tho Stato de
partment, with Its consular service, nnd
tho Treasury department, with Its close
connection with fiscal affairs, keep tho ex
ecutive In touch with the business and com
mercial interests. A cabinet ofllcer truly
representative of the wage-earning class
would bo ot Invaluable nld, not only to tho
tollers, but to tho president.
Chinese livcltinloii.
Tho Chinese exclusion act has proven an
advantage, to tho country and Its contin
uance and strict enforcement, ns well ns Its
extension to other similar races, are Im
peratively necessary. Tho Asiatic Is so es
sentially different from tho American Hint
ho cannot bo assimilated with our popula
tion nnd Is, therefore, not desirable us n
permanent citizen. Ills presence as n tem
porary laborer, preserving his national
Identity, anJ maintaining a foreign scale of
wages and living, must ever prove nn Injus
tice to American producers, us well us n
perpetual Bource of Irritation.
I'eilft lllllM.
The party expresses Its pride In the sol
diers and sailors of all our wars und de
clares Its purpose to deal generously with
them mid their dependents. A liberal policy
Is natural nnd necessary In a government
which depends upon n citizen soldiery, in
stead of a large standing army. Sclf-lnter-cst,
as well as gratitude, compels the gov
ernment to make bountiful provision for
thoso who, In tho hour of danger, and at
great sacrifice of business, health and life,
tender their services to their country.
Tho pension Inwi should be construed
according to tho generous spit It which
prompted their passage. The platform very
properly reiterates tho position taken In
lSiin, that the fact of enlistment shall bo
deemed conclusive ovldenco that the soldier
was 30und when the government accepted
him. A certificate given now to the henllh
of a person forty years ago, even If easily ob
tainable, should not have as much weight
ns the certificate of tho medical ofllcer who
examined tho volunteer with n view of as
certaining his fitness for nrmy service.

Tho democratic party Is In faor of tho
Immediate construction, ownership and con
trol of the Nlcnrugua canal by tho United
Stntes. Tho falluro of the republican party
to make any progress In carrying out a
pledge contained in Its plntform four years

tho republican leaders either do not appre
ciate the Importance of this great water

Tho Ilay-Pauncefotc treaty, uow beforo
the senate, would, If ratllled, greatly lessen
the value of tho canal. If It would not Indeed
comert it Into a positive menace In tlmo
of war. Tho puramuunt interests of tho

Tho recognition contained In both the

from the domain ot partisan politics. It
I j proper, however, to consider whether
tho accomplishment of this purposo can

party after It has yielded to tho allure
ments ot tho colonial Idea nnd abandoned
Its earlier faith In tho natural and In
alienable rights of man.

Tho time Is ripe for u systematic nnd

than would ever seek a resldenco In coin

I'ort-lun Allliinrca.
The reasons given by Washington, Joffor
son mid the other statesmen ot tho early
days In support of the doctrine that we
should maintain friendly relations with all
nations, but enter Into cntaugllug alliances
with none, are even stronger today than
thoy were 100 yonrs ago. Our commerce Is
rapidly Increasing nnd wo nro brought Into
constant communication with all parts of
the world. Even if we desired to do so we
could not afford to alienate many nations
by cultivating unnecessary intimacy with n
few. Our strength and standing are such
that It Is less necessary than over beforo
to lean tor aid upon tho friendliness of a
foreign power.
Wo cannot connect ourselves with Euro
pean nations and share in their Jealousies
and ambitions without losing the peculiar
advantngo which cur location, our character
and out Institutions give us In tho world's
affairs.
Monroe Doctrine,
Tho doctrine enunciated by Monroe nnd
approved by succeeding presidents, Is es
sential to the welfare of tho United Slates.
The continents of North and South America
are dedicated to tho development of free
government. One republic after another
has been established, until today mon
nrchlal Ideas have barely a foothold In the
Now World.
Whllu It Is not the policy of this country
to luterfero whero amicable relations exist
between European countries nud their de
pendencies In America, our people would
look with disfavor upon any attempt on tho
part of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forctblo soverlgnty over the
people living on this side of tho Atlantic
Tho position taken by the republican
lenders and more recently set forth by the
republican candidate for tho presidency,
viz: That wo cannot protect n nation from
outsido Interference without exercising
sovereignty over its people, Is nn assault
upon tho Monroo doctrine, for while this
nrgutnent Is at this time directed ngalnst
the proposition to give to the Filipino
both Independence nnd protection It is
equally applicable to tho republics of Cen
tral and South America. If this govern
ment cannot lend Its strength to another
republic without making subjects ot Its
people then we must either withdraw our
protection from the republics to the south
of us or absorb them. Under tho samo
plea that tho guardian nation must exert
an nuthorlty equal to its responsibility
European nations hnvo for centuries ex
ploited their wards nnd It Is n significant
fact that tho republican parly should ac
cept the European Idea of a protectorate
at tho samo tlmo that It adopts n European
colonial policy. There Is no excuso for
this abandonment of the American Idea.
Wo havo maintained tho Monroe doctrlno
for three-quarters of a century. Tho ex
pense to us has been practically nothing,
but the protection has been beyond vnlue
to our sister republics. It n Filipino re
public Is erected upon tho ruins of Spanish
tyrnnny Its protection by us will bo neither
difficult nor expensive. No European na
tion would be willing for nny other Eu
ropean nation to havo tho Islands, neither
would and European nation bo willing to
provoke n war with us In order to obtain
possession ot tho Islands. If we assert
sovereignty over tho Filipinos wo will
hnc to defend that sovereignty by force
ond tho Filipinos will be our enemies. If
we protect them from outside Interference
they will defend themselves nnd will bo
our friends. If they Bhow as much de
termination In opposing tho sovereignty
of other nations as they have shown in
opposing our sovereignty they will not re
quire much assistance from us.
llxtriivnKimi'e.
Tho republican party, drawing as It does
enormous cnmpulgn funds from thoso who
enjoy special privileges nt the hands of tho
government, Is powerless to protect the tax
payers from tho attack of thoso who profit
by large appropriations. A surpltiB In the
treasury offers constant temptation to ex
travagance und extravagance, In turn, com
pels n resort to new means of tnxutlon
which, being Kept In tho background until
the campaign Is over, Is n fair lllustrntlon
of tho Imposition which will bo attempted
when there is u considerable amount of
money Idle In the treasury. Tho rehabilita
tion of the merchant marine, laudable In
Itself. Is made the pretext for expenditure
of public monoy for the benefit of large ship
owners and in tho Interests of a transpor
tation monopoly. The government being
only tho ngent of the people, has no right
to collect trom tho peoplo tnxes beyond the
legitimate needs of a government honestly
anil effectively administered, nnd public
servants should exercise the same degree
of tare In tho use of the people's money
that private individuals do In the use of
their own mouey. With n restoration of n
foreign policy consistent with American
Ideas tbcto can be an Immediate and largo
reduction In the. burdens now borne by tho
people.
Income Tin,
Ily Inadvertence the Income tax plank
agreed upon by tho resolutions committee
was omitted from the plutform us read and
adopted. Tho subject, however, is covered
by tho reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
and I tako this occasion to reassert my
belief in tho principle which underlies tho
income tux. CongresB should have uutuor
Ity to levy and collect an Income tax when
ever necessary, and an amendment to the
federal constitution specifically conferring
such authority ought to lie supported by
oven llioso wiio may think the tax unneces
sary ut this time. In tho hour of danger
uio government can draft tho citizen; It
ought to bo ablo to draft the pocketbook
as well. Unless money is more precious
than blood we cannot afford to glvo greater
protection to the income of tho rich than
to t l-o lives ot the poor.
liiiicrlnlini.
The subjects, however, treated in this
letter. Important as each may teem In itself.
do not press ho Imperatively for solution
as tho question which the platform declares
to be tho paramount Issuo In this campaign
Whether wo Miall adhere to or abandon
thoso Ideas of government which havo dls
tlngulshod this nation from other nations
and given to Its history Its peculiar charm
and value, Is a question the settlement ot
which cannot bo delayed. No othen ques
tion can approach it in importance; no other
question demands such immediate considera
tion. It Is easier to lose a reputation than
to establish one, nnd this nation would find
it n long and laborious task to regnlu Its
proud position among tho nations if, under
tho stress of temptation, It should repudiato
the self-evident truths proclaimed by our
heroic uticesters nnd sacredly treasured dur
ing u career unparalleled In the nnnals of
time. When tho doctrine that tho people
aro tho only sourco of power Is made securo

WILKESRARRH, Pa-. Sept. 17. Every
mlno In tho Wyoming valley, with tho ex
ception of one, was closed today by tho
miners' strike. The exception was the col
liery operated by the West End Coal rom
pany at Mocanaqua. The men there refused
to go out. saying they were satisfied with
tho present condition of things. Tho total
number of men Idle in this valley is a little
over 2,(100.
When the whistles Idow this morning for
the eommrncment of work thoro wore very
few miners In sight. Somo distance from
tho collieries watchers were stationed. They
wore there to see If nny of tho miners In
tended to go to work. When they found
that the men remained away they returned
to tho United Mine Workers' lieadquartets.
Early in tho morning It wns thought thai
enough men would be secured to operate
ono of the collieries of tho Pennsylvania
company at Plttston, but the union miners
were active and succeeded In Inducing
those who contemplated going to work to
return to their homes.
Tho Lehigh & Wllkesbarre Coal company
ofllclnls also felt confident that they would
bo ablo to put their South Wllkesbarre
mlno In operation. The company officials
say they had promises from a number of
men to go to work, but at the Inst moment
they backed out, being unwilling to Incur
the lllwill of the union miners, who were
watching tho movements of every man.
The other operators tell tho samo story.
They say many men who had intended to go
to work hnvo been Intimidated and rather
than run tho risk of being mocked at and
probably assaulted thoy remained nt homo.
A Huugnrlan who attempted to go to

NEW YORK, Sept. 17. William V. S.
Thome, a director of tho Pennsylvania Coal
company, mado this statement today after
a talk with tho company's mlno superin
tendent over tho long-dlstanco wire:
"Wo opornto thirteen collieries nnd all
hut two aro closed. Tho striko appears to
bo quite general throughout the mining
districts. Many men havo reported at our
mines, but hardly enough to Justify work
lug tho two collieries, so that it Is hardl
possible they will bo started. The tleu,
wilt doubtless Inst a week and then th'
men will begin to got dissatisfied and will
want to return to work. Tho miners have
no grievances aud as far as wo can lcnm
they hnvo not sufficient resources to carry
on a protracted strike. Tho miners re
ceived on an nvorago $2.40 a day. I have
never scon S-year-old boys or girls at
work In tho mines. Tho miners are ask
ing for an Increase of from 10 to 15 per
cent In wages.
"Tho operators can hold out for nt least
six months. It Is our custom to carry on
our books for six months In advance. Wc
havo n fair supply on hand. Retailers,
especially In the country, hold good
sized ntocks. I think tho situation Justifies
nn advance In prices.
"Wo anticipate, no troublo nt our mines
Extrn watchmen have been hired, but this
Is tho only precaution wo havo taken."

NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Robert M. Oly
phonl, president of the Delaware & Hud
son Coal company, said today of the con I
strike:
"I do not believe that the strike can last
or that It will permanently affect the prb e

who go down to work In tho mines of the
anthracite roul region. In their recent
stntement the Inbor agltntors declared that
they had but $71,000 In their treasury. This
would meun that they can pay eueh of our
men who go out nt their order the sum of
50 cents for ono duy. This will not suppon
a great strlko very long."
