The big dredalnn barge of the Tollard

middle of the Missouri river several mile
above Florence. The boat with Its big
Ipsd of dredging machinery was being
towed from ftioua City to Omaha several
weks ago during the high water In the
river and got stuck on a newly formed
aandbar In the; center of the river. All
efforts ta relieve tha boat were unavail
ing Moat of the valuable machinery lias been
removed from the barge and the only pros
pect of saving the boat Ilea in the prob
ability of the river changing ita channel
In that vicinity, which Is not at all tin
likely. The barge la about lXi feet long

It la valued at $3.0"0 and Is very strongly

RULING FAVORS TWIN
CITIES
Flatting; that Freight Rates from
Atlaatlo ahaald Re Lower
Than to Mlaaoarl River.
WASHINGTON. July 1-T1ie Interstate
Commerce commission today, on com
plaint that class rstes from the Atlantic
seaboard to Missouri river r'Ms are un
reasonable and discriminatory as com
pared to St Taiil and Minneapolis, decided
that the rstes to the last named cities be ng
controlled by water and Canadian rallrcad
competitions, may reasonably be lower
than to the Missouri river. Because the
through rates to the Missouri cities are
unreasonably high, due to that part of the
rstes applying between the Mississippi
river crossings and the Mlsiurl river c.tics.
the commission also held that the sepa
rately established ratea applying west of
the Misalaslppl to the through transports
tlon should be reduced.
That the freight rate oi vntow pine
lumber from Arkansas and Texas pcilnts
should not be higher to l"ce Moines tlmn
to Omaha waa decided by the Intrrstate
Commerce commission today. The Greater
Les Moines committee had complained
against the Chicago Oreat Western, Mia
aourl raclfc and Wabash and other rail
roads that STVs centa per hundred pounds
Is unjust, as compared with 23 centa from
the same territories to Omaha.
BILL M'CUNEHOME FOR REST
( omea t p from Excelsior Springs and
Will Walt Here for
Shun-.
William McCune of the Hurfalo Hill Wild
West show returned to Omaha Thursday
evening and will remain here until the show
comes to Omaha, August 2.
Mr. McCune was taken sick after the
hard tour of the large eastern cities and
has been at Excelslon Springs recuperating
for the last thirty-one days. He says the
show Is covering more territory this year
than ever and is doing a larue business.
Leaving New York the show wont to New
England and the large cities of the east,
worked west to St. Louis and today Is In
Haverill, Muss. Another start will soon
be made for the west and after leaving
Omaha the Wild West will be taken to
the Pacific coast.
'Business has been fine this year." said
Mr. McCune, "especially In the higher
priced seats, so much so that the reserved
seat section had to be enlarged. Dr. J. K.
TMxon, representing Wanamaker of Phila
delphia will leave the Quaker city Satur
day for a visit to the Indian reservations.
He carrha moving picture machines and
will gather thousands of dollars' worth of
Indian curl a for the Wan tmaker musura."

TEXT OF DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Fnll Rranlt of Sixty Honrs of Com ml t
tee'a Deliberations.
We, the representatives of the democracy
of the 1'nlted States, In national convention
assembled, reaffirm our belief In and
pledge our loyalty to the principles of
the party.
We rejoice at the IncteaMng signs of an
awakenlna- throughout the country. The
various Investigations hsve traced graft
and political corruption to the representa
tives of predatory wealth, and laid bnre
the unscrupulous methods by which they
have debauched elections and preyed upon
a defenseless public through tne subservi
ent officials whom they have raised to
place and power.
The conscience of the nation Is now
aroused to free the government from the
grip of those who have made It a business
asset of the favor-seeking corporations; It
must become again a people's government,
and he administered In all Its departments
according to the Jeffersonlan maxim of
"equal rights to all and special privileges
to none."
"Shall the people rule?" ta the over
shadowing Issue which manifests Itself in
all the questions now under discussion.
Too Hanr New Offices.
Coincident with the enormous Increase in
expenditures la a like addition to the num
ber of officeholders. Muring the last year
23,784 were added, costing 316,156.00n, and In
the last six years or the repunncan ad
ministration the total number of new of
fices created, aside from many commis
sions, has been 99.318, entailing an addl
tlpnal expenditure of nearly I70.00o.n00, as
against only 10,279 new ofrires created
under the Cleveland and McKlnley admin
istration, which Involved an expenditure
of only 38.OOO.0OO. We denounce this great
and growing Increase In the number of
officeholder as not only unnecessary and
wasteful, but also as clearly indicating a
deliberate purpose on the part of the ad
ministration to keep the republican party
In power at public expense by thus In
creasing the number of Its retainers and
dependents. 8uch procedure we declare to
be no less dangerous and corrupt than th-)
open purchaae of votes at the polls.
Economy la Administration.
The republican congress in the session
Just ended has made appropriations
amounting to l,0i,uuu.i)00, exceeding the
totul expenditures of the past fiscal year
by I30,ou,0uo, and leaving ix deficit of more
than $o,000,OH for the fiscal yenr. We de
nounce the heedWKK waste of the people's
money, which has resulted In this appalling
increase, as a shameful violation of all
prudent conditions of government, and ae
no less thun a crime against the millions
of working men and wome,n from whose
etrniiiKS the great proportion of these
collosal sums must be extorted through
excessive tariff exactions and other In
direct methods, ll Is not s .uprising that
In the face of this shocking record the re
publican platform contains a reference to
economical admlnlstrstlnn, or promise
thereof. In the future. We demand that a
stop he put to this frightful extravagance,
and Insist upon the atrlctest economv In
every department compatible with frugal
and efficient administration.
Arbitrary Power of Speaker.
The house of representatives waa de
signed by the fathers of the constitution
to be the popular branch of our govern
ment, responsive to the public will.
The house of representatives, qs con
trolled in recent years by the reinibllcan
fiarty, has ceased to be a deliberative and
eclslatlve body, responsive to the will or
a majority of Ita members, but nas con e
under the abaolute domination of th:
speaker, who has entire control of its de
liberations and powers of legislation. .
We have observed with amazement the
popular branch of our federal government
helpless to obtain either tne e insldcratio
or enactment ol measures desired by a
majority of its members
Legislative government beeon.es a failure
when on member. In the person ol the
speaker, Is more powerful than the entire
body.
We demand that the holism of representa
tives sha.i again become a deliberative
body, controlled by a majority of the peo
pie's representatives, and not by tlv
speaker, and we pledge ourselves to adopt
such rules ana regulations to govern the
house of representatives as will enable
majority of Its members to d'rect. its de
liberations and control legislation.
Mlaaeo of Patronage.
We condemn, as a violation of the spirit
of our Institutions, the action of the
4 resent chief executive In using the
patronage of his high office to secure
the nomination of one of hia cauiuat
officers. A forced succession In the
presidency ia scarcely less repugnant to
public sentiment than is life tenuie In
that office. No good Intention on the
part of the executive and no virtue In
the one selected can justify the estab
lishment of a dynasty. The right of tho
people to freely select their officials la
lr
nallrnabl and cannot b delegated.
Pabllcltr of Casaoalgrn Contrlhntloi
We demand federal legislation forever
terminating the partneramp which has ex
Isted between corporations of the country
and the republican party under the ex
pressed or Implied agreement that In return
ror me contribution or tr-a? sum of monev
wherewith to purchase election they should
t allowed to continue substantially un
molested In their effort to encroach upon
th right of th people.
Any reaaonable doubt a to th existence
of thla relation ha been forever dlsrwlled
by th sworn testimony of witnesses exam
ined in the Insurance Investigation in New
York, and the open admission unchallenged
by th republican national commute of a
single individual, that he himself at the'
personal request of the repuhllcsn csndldate
for the presidency rslsed over 8o.k to be
used In a single sisie during the closing
hours of the last csmpalgn. In order thst
this prsctlce srsll be stopped for sll time,
we demsnd the pssssae of a s.stu'e punlsn
Irg with Impilsonment nny offii er of a cor
poratlon who snail either cor.trlbute on be
half of. or consent to the contribution by,
a corporation of any monev or thing of
value to he tised In a furtnertng of the
election of a president or vice president of
the I'nited States or of any member of
the congress thereof.
We denoiir.ee the action of Ihe republic'!
party having complete control of the federal
government, for Its failure to pass 1he bill.
Introduced In the Iss; congress, to compel
the puhlicstlon of the names of contributor
and Ihe amounts contributed toward cam-
i paign funds and point to tne evidence of
tneir insincerity, when tnry eougnt py an
absolutely irrelevent and Impossible amend
ment to defeat the lassage of tne bill. A
a further evidence of their Intention to con
duct their campaign lr. the coming contest
wtth vast aums of money wrested from
favor-seeking corporations, we call atten
tion to the fact that the recent republican
national convention at Chicago refused,
when the Issue was presented to it, to de
clsre a sal nst such practices.
We pledge the democratic parly to the
enactment of a law prohibiting any corpora
tion from contributing to a campaign fund

Hlfthts of the State.
Believing with Jefferson In the support
of the stats governments In all their light
as the most competent administration for
our domestic concerns and the surest bul
r.uk agalnsl antt -republican tendencies,
and In the pre nervation cf the irem ral
roernment lr Its whole constitutional
v'eor, as the shet anchor of our peace
at home and safety abroad. We are op
posed to the centmliatlon Implied In tiie
suggestions, now frequently made, that
th" power of the genet al government
should be extended by executive and legis
lative action and by Judicial construction.
There Is no twilight sone between the
nation and the state, in which exploiting
Interests can take refuge from both, and
It Is as necessary tnat tne federal govern
ment shall exercise the powers delegated
to It o.i It Is that the state governments
shall use the authority reserved to them,
but we Insist that the federal remedies for
the regulation of Interstate commerce and
for the prevention of private monopoly
shall be added to, not substituted for
stte remedies.
HeTlslon of Tariff,
W'e we'eorne the belated promise of tariff
reform now offered by the republican party
In tardy recognition of the righteousness of
the democratic position on this question.
But the people csnnot safely entrust the
execution of this Important work to a party
which Is so deeply obligated to the highly
protected Interests ss is the republican
party. We call attention, to the significant
fact that the promised relief was postponed
I until after the coming election an election
to succeed in wmen tne republican party
must have the same support from the bene
ficiaries of the high protective tariff as it
has always heretofore received from ti.m;
and to the further fact that during year
of uninterrupted power, no action whatever
has been taken by the republican congress
to correct the admittedly existing tariff
Iniquities.
We favor immediate revision of the tariff
by the reduction of Import duties. Articles
entering into competition with trust-controlled
products should he placed upon th
free list, and material reductions should be
made In the tariff upon the necessaries of
life, eseclally upon articles competlrg with
such Amerlcsn manufactures as are sold
abroad more cheaply than at home; an1
graduated reductions should be made In
such other schedules as may be necessary
to restore the tariff to a revenue basis.
Existing duties have given to the manu
facturers of paper a shelter behind which
they hsve organized combinations to raise
the price of pulp and of paper, thus Impos
ing a tax upon the spread of knowledge.
We demand the immediate repeal of the
tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber,
timber and logs and that these article be
placed upon the free list.
Trusts.
A private monopoly ia indefensible and
intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigor
ous enforcement of the criminal law against
guilty trust magnates and officials, and
demand the enactment of such additional
legislation as may he necessary to make it
Impossible for a prh , monopoly to exist
In the United Stat."- Among ihe addi
tional remedies, we specify three: Flrt,
a law preventing a duplication of directors
among competing corporations; second, a
license system which will, without abridg
ing right of each state to create corpora
tions, or Ita right to regulate as it will
foreign corporation doing business within
it limit, make It necessary for a manu
facturing or trading corporation enraged
In Interstate commerce to take out a fed
eral license before it shall be permitted to
control as much a 26 per cent of the
product In which It deals, the license to
protect the public from watered stock and
to prohibit the control by auch corporation
of more than 60 per cent of the total
amount of any product consumed In the
I'nited States; and third, a law compelling
such licensed corporstlons to sell to all
purchasers In all parts of the country on
the same terms, after making due allow
ance fur cost of transportation.
Income Tax.
We favor an Income tax aa part of our
revenue system, and we urge the submis
sion of a constitutional amendment specifi
cally authorizing congress to levy and col
lect a tax upon the individual ana corpor
ate incomes, to the end that wealth may
bear Its proportionate share of the bur
dens of the federal government.
Railroad HesTulatlon.
We assert the right ol congress to ex-
erctae complete control over Interstate
commerce and tne rtgtit or eacu siaie eo
exercise like control over commerce
within it borders.
We demand such enlargement oi tne
powers of the Interstate Commerce com
mission as may db necessary iu cuiu
nel railroads to perform their duties a
common carriers and prevent discrimina
tion.
We favor the efficient supervision and
rate regulation of railroads engaged in
interstate commerce. To this end wo
recommend the physical valuation of
railroads bv the Interstate commerce
commission, such valuation to take Into
consideration th phyclcal value of the
property, the original cost of production
and all elements of value that will ren
der the valuation fair and Just.
We favor such legislation as win pre
vent the railroads from engaging in
business which bring them Into compe
tition wtth their shipper; ah-.o legislation
which will assure such reduction in
transportation ratea ss conditions will
permit, care being taken to avoid reduc
tion that would compel a reduction of
wages, prevent adequate service or do
Injustice to legitimate Investments.
We heartily approve the laws pro
hibiting the pass and the rebate and we
favor any further necessary legislation
to restrain, correct and prevent audi
abuses.
We favor auch legislation as will in
crease the power of the Interstate Com
merce commission, giving (o it the
initiative with reference to rates and
transportation charges put Into effect b.'
the railroad companies, and permUtir.tf

The panic of t!07, coming without any
lecittmate excuse, Then the republican
party had for a d'eade been in complete
control of the federal rnment, furn
ishes additional (roof that It Is either un
willing or Incompetint to protect the
Interests ol the genersl public it lias so
linked th country to Wall street tint Hie
sins of the speculators ore visited upon the
whole people. Willi; refui-lng lo rescue
tie wealth producers from spoliation al
the hands of the stock gamblers and
speculHtcrs In farm products, It has de
posited treasury funds, without Interest
nd without competition. In ravorlte banks.
It has used an emergency for which It
I largely responsible to force through
congress a bill changing; the basis of bank
currency and Inviting market manipula
tion, and has failed to give to the fifteen
million depositors of the country protec
tion in their savings.
W believe that Insofar ss the needs of
commerce require an emergency currency,
such currency should be Issued, controlled
by the federal envernment and loincd in
ado(juat. security lo national and state
banks. We pledge ourselves to legislation
under which the national banks shall he
required to establish a guaranty fund for
the prompt payment of the depositors of
ny Insolvent national hank, under an
equitable system which shall b available
lo all stste bunking Institutions wishing
to use it.
We favor n postal savings bank If the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured and
tlint It be constituted so as to keep the
deposited money In the communities where
it Is established. Hut we condemn Ihe
policy of the republican party In propos
ing postal savings banks under a plan of
conduct hy which they will aggregate the
deposits of rural communities and rede
poeit the same while under government
charge In the hanks of Wall street, tlms
depleting the circulating medium of the
producing region and unjustly favoring
the speculative markets.
Labor and Injunctions. V.
The courts of Justice are the bulwark of
our liberties and we yield to none In our
purpose to maintain their dignity. Our
party rma given to the bench a long line
of distinguished Judges who have added
to the respect and confidence In which
this department must be Jealously main
tained. We resent the attempt of thu
republican party to raise a fulse Issue re
specting t lie Judiciary. It is an unjust
reflection upon a great body of our citi
zens to assume that they lack respect for
the courts. It Is the function if the
courts to interpret the laws which the
people create, and if the laws appear lo
work economic, social or political Injus
tice, It Is our duty to change them. The
only basis upon which the integrity of our
court can stand is that of unswerving
Justice and protection of life, personal lib
erty and property. If Judicial orocesse
may be abuaed, we should guard them
against abuse.
Experience has proven the necessity of
a modiftcatkn of the present law relation
to Injunctions and we reiterate the rledges
of our national platforms of 1898 and IDOt,
in favor of the measure which passed tha
Vnited State senate In 18W, but which
a republican congress ha ever since re
fused to enact, relating to contempts in
federal courts and' providing for trial by
Jury in case of Indirect contempt.
Questions of Judicial practice have arisen
esjiecially in connection with Industrial dis
putes. We deem that the parties to all
judicial proceedings should be treated with
rigid impartiality and that Injunctions
should not be Issued in nny cases in which
Injunctions would not Issue If no Industrial
dispute was Involved.
The expanding organization of Industry
make It essontlal that there should be no
abridgement of the right of wage earner
and producer to organise for mutual pro
tection and the Improvement of labor
conditions to the end that such labor or
ganization and their members should not
be regarded as Illegal combination In
restraint of trade.
We favor the eight-hour day on all
government work. We pledae the demo
cratic party to th enactment of a law
by congress, as far a the federal Jurisdic
tion extend for a (reneral employer'
liability act covering Injury to body or
loss of life of employes.
We pledge the democratic party to the
enactment of a law creating a depart
ment of labor, represented separately in
the nresldent cabinet, which department
shall Include the subject of mine and
mining.
Adequate Navr Wanted.
Tha constitutional provision that a
navy shall be provided and maintained
means an adequate navy, and we believe
that the Interests of this country would
be beet aerved by having a navy suffi
cient to defend the coast of this country
and protect American citizens wherever
their rights may be in Jeopardy.
We favor full protection, by both na
tional snd state governments within their
respective spheres, of all foreigners re
siding in the United State under treatv,

the government of such countries to secure
the removal of these unjust discrimina

government of the I'nited States to an
American citizen shall be proof of the fact
thst he Is an American citizen, and slmll
entitle hint to the treatment due him as

Popnlar Flection of Senator.
We favor the election of I nlted Stutes

irgnrd this reform as the gateway to
other national reforms
Admission of States.
The national democratic party has for
the last sixteen years labored for the ad
mission of Arizona and New .Mexico as
separate states ol the union, and recoa
nizlr.jc that each possesses every qualifica
tion t i successfully maintain separate state
governments, we favor tne immediate ad
mission of these territories as stutes sepa
rate. Vie welcome Oklahoma to the sisterhood
of states and heartily congratulate It on
the auspicious beginning of a great career.
We demand for the people of Alaska and
Porto Huo tho full enjoyment of the rlgnta
and privileges of a territorial form of gov
ernment and tiie officials appointed to ad
minister the government of all our terri
tories and the District of Colunibiu should
be thoroughly qualified by previous bonaflde

We favor the .ippllcatlon of principles
of the lai.d laws of the rutted Slates
to our newly acijulred territory. Hawaii, to
the end that tho public lands of lhat terri
tory ma" be held and utilized for the bene
fit of bonaflde homesteaders.
We believe In the building of the Ameri
can and merchant marine without new or
additional burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the public treasury.
We advocate the organization of all exist
ing national public health agencies Into a
national bureau of public health, with such
power over sanitary conditions connected
Willi factories, mines, tenements, child la
bor und other such subjects as are properly
within the Jurisdiction of the federal gov
ernment, and do not interfere with the
power of the states controlling public
health Agencies.
The democratic party favors the exten
sion of agricultural, mechanical and edu
cational Industry. We theretore favor the
establishment of district agricultural experi
ment stations, the secondary agricultural
and mechanical colleges, in the several
states.
We favor federal aid to state and- local
authorities in the construction and main
tenance of post roads.
We believe that where an American citi
zen holding a patent in a foreign country
Is compelled to manufacture under his pat
ent within a certain time, similar restric
tions should be applied in this country to
the citizen or subject of such a country.
We favor a generous pension policy, both
as a matter of Justice to the surviving vet
erans and their dependents and because it
tends to relieve the country of the necessity
of maintaining a large standing army
National Heeourcee.
We repeat the demand for Internal de
velopment, and for th conservation of our
natural resources, contained in previous
platform, the enforcement of which Mr.
Koosevelt has vainly sought from a reluc
tant party; and to that end, we Insist upon
the preservation, protection and replace
ment of needed forests, the preservation of
the public domain for homeseekers, the pro
tection of the national resource In timber,
coal, iron and oil against monopolistic con
trol, the development of our waterway
for navigation and every other useful pur
pose, including the irrigation or arid lands,
the reclamation of swamp lands, the clarifi
cation of streams, the development of water
power, ana tne preservation or electric
power generated by this natural force from
the control of monopoly, and to such end
we urge the exercise of all powers, national
state and municipal, both separately and In
co-operaiion.
We Insist upon a nollcv of administration
of our forest reserves which Bhall relieve
It of the abuses which have arisen there

able, conform to the police regulation of
tne several states where they are located,
which hall enable homesteaders to have
the right to occupy and acquire title to all
