e en a decent pretense of champion
ing the people's cause and the pro
ceedings of that convention are glar
ngiy nslncere. It was noted that
two elements were present at that
garnering, one with sufficient voles
o adopt a platform and nominate
Its candidate fur president and the
other powerful enough to unwrlte
hat platform and tie the hands of
i-s nominee. The distinguishing fea
ture of the Chicago platform Is its
oft-repeated promise to do a lot of
things that the republican parlv has
heretofore failed to do. Th.it party
went to Chicago fi-ah from the halls
of congress, where an overyhelmlng
republican majority in both branches
enabled it to propose and adopt any
legislation it chose. Does the repub
lican party believe that it can be ab
solved from its dereliction of duty
by an empty promise to do in the
future what it has wilfully failed
to do. In the past? Some one has
suggested mat this convention should
publish an indictment against the
republican party. We can probably
expedite the proceeding by entering
the plea of guilty that is contained In
the Chicago platform, simply chang
ing the words "We will" to the words
"We did not" to conform to the ad
mitted racts. We then have the fol
owing . republican confession of
gum:
"We did not revise ,th tariff "
"We did not amend th antl-trnat
laws to secure greater effectiveness
in tne prosecution of criminal mo
nopolies." '
We did not add a singlo line to
the, interstate commerce law giving
tle federal government supervision
of the Issuance of stocks and bonds
Dy interstate carriers.
"We did not enact a currency mea
sure that would mitigate the evils of
a financial panic, such as has re
cently prostrated the country under
a repumican administration."
"We did not limit the opportuni
ties for abusing the writ of injunc
tion." "We did not establish postal sav
ings banks.
'We did not establish a bureau
of mines and mining."
'We did not admit Into the Union
the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona as separate -states." '
The last congress was in session
during a financial crisis when in
numerable banking Institutions, pre
ferring a holiday to a funeral, closed
their doors and filled the minds of
millions of depositors, with anxiety
and fear. The sentiment' In favor
f postal savings banks, which had
been steadily growing in this coun
try, became almost universal during
the recent panic. So insistent be-
came the voice of the people that the
president sent a special message to
1 congress urging the establishment of
i postal savings banks where the earn
ings of our people might be safely
deposited under the direct control
and responsibility of the federal gov
ernment and where no peculating
bank cashier or gambling board of
directors could eat up the savings
of years.
"The expenses of our government,
even when most economically admin
istered, will always require substan
tial tariff rates, for the customs du-
Itles will always be our chief source
of revenue. The amount and distri
bution of these rates must always he
determined along equitable lines,
keeping in view the greatest happi
ness tn the grsater number anil par
ticularly withholding the shelter of
the tariff from those who use it. not
for legitimate self-protection, hut for
j the criminal purpose of extorting
me lilSL UOIHii uuui
consumer.
"The corrupt use of large sums of
money in political campaigns Is large
ly responsible for the subversion of
the people's will at the polls. The
masses are awakening to the realiza
tion of the great power of gold in
contests that ought to be determined
according to character of nominees
and the soundness and morality of
political issues; and there Is a gen
eral demand for publicity In the col
lection and use of campaign tunas
so that our citizens may .know
1 wiieiiiei
whether a political party has pur-
' .
'chased its way into ottice or nas won
Ka victories liv honest means.
"In the Chicago convention a mi
nority report of the committee on
resolutions containing a declaration
in favor of campaign publicity was
overwhelmingly defeated upon a mil
call of the convention and the repub
lican party placed itself squarely
upon record in favor of concealing
the names of the contributors and
the amounts of their subscription by
a vote of 50 tr 1 In the committee
and a vote of more than 10 to 2 con
fessed their guilt, thus ndnilttirm the
charge so frequently made by our
purtv that the republican successes
In the past has largely depended
upon the vast sums collected from
the great monopolies and 'corruptly
used in its campaigns. Will the
voters of this country seriously con
sider whether the refusal of the re
publican partv to disclose the sources
and amounts of Its election Is not a
confession of the debasing and cor
rupt use of money In Its campaign.
"It is eminently proper that this
convention should define the dem
ocratic attitude toward the regula
tion of transportation companies and
call the attention of the country to
the Indisputable fact that It was only
after vears of democratic effort that
an amendment was made to th" In
terstate commerce law authorizing
the commission to establish reason-1
able rates wh'-never It appeared Mat
'an existing sch'-duie was iu
unreasonable. The national plat
forms of the republican party re

"The fixiiiK 0f transportation

I other hand the-republican party on
i"n inn m me convention, by an
overwhelming vote, took an unequi
vocal Btand In favor of a svstem of
water rates without giving the people
the benefit of a meter.
"The distribution of tariffs and
rates must always be established with
special reference to expenditures of
the government, keeping In view the
greatest good to the greatest number,
particularly prohibiting the conver
sion of the tariff into an accomplice
of monopoly in the robbery of Amer
ican consumers. The Democratic Idea
is that the collection of sufficient
revenue to meet the necessities ot
government must be-the basis for tar
iff regulations, and that the philoso
phy of excluding competition by tax
on the American consumer which re
quires him to pay greater prices at
home than are demanded abroad is
pernicious abuse of the taxing power
and a manifest Injustice to our own
people."
"The affirmative position of 'the
democratic party upon these great
questions will be made clear during
the Impending campaign, and, dis
daining all subterfuges, it will speak
In a language that cannot be misun
derstood. Its voice will-ring with
a genuine love for humanity and the
charge of insincerity will never., be
brought toiits doors. " Let' our party

which we here propose and that de
clrade at Chicago. Let a man take

iorm ano discover If he can any sign
of human worth; not a single sen
timent Is there to redeem It from the
materialism permeating it through

"On the bosom of the Pacific will
be enacted the mighty commercial
struggles of the future, and the inter
ests of American commerce will de
mand that an adequate naval
Strength be maintained in the waters
of the Pacific to protect our expand
ing commerce.
This magnificent western country of
ours has not only proved attractive
to our people and the other white
nations of the earth, but it has like
wise proved alluring to the brown
and yellow races of the East. Some
protection has been afforded by the
exclusion of Chinese labor bflt the
evil Is but half met If the Immigra
tion of Japanese, Koreans, Hindus
and other Asiatic people be not also
excluded from our shores. Not only
the white toilers In America but" all
our people, without respect to class
or residence, are vital fy Interested
in this menace to our social and in
dustrial life from Asiatic quarters,
and if this is to remain a white
man's country steps should be taken
to prevent the Asiatic Immigration
of whatever character.
"This convention is meeting at a
time when the angel ofNpence ls hov
ering over the entire world and the
nations of the earth each day are
strengthening those ties of friend
ship and common interest that will
render war less frequent and per
mit mankind to turn their hunds to
the peaceable pursuits of life rather
than to the discussion of one another.
"The democratic party realizes the
part that America must inevitably
play In the affairs of the world and
that we cannot escape participation
in the settlement Of every world
problem that arises: but America's
weight and influence must ever be
on the side of peace, on the Bide of
Justice, on the side of the oppressed
and if the will of the people shall
submit to our hands the sceptre of
power. It will be used for the realiza
tion of the high American ideals that
raise our own people to loftier and
better, and through precepts and ex
ample contribute to the well-being
and happiness of all mankind."
