DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Kansas Crrr. Tbs following is the
official text of tb. platform adopted by
the lx.niocratio Msttusal ooaTaationi
We, tb rapnseatatlTes of tb. Demo
cratic party uf th United State, as
wiubled in national oonveutiou on the an
uivt-raary of the adoption of tb. Declar
ation of Iudupundenoe, do reaffirm our
faith iu that immortal proclamation of
the inalieuable rights of man and oar
sllfKauoe to the coiutitation formed in
bariuouy therewith br the fathers of
the republic W hold with the United
Btatea supreme court that the Declars
tiou of Iudcpeudenos is th spirit of
our government, of which th constitu
tion is the forui aud letter. We de
tbire attain that all governments insti
IuUhI amoug wen derive their just
powers from tb ooaseut of th gov
erned; that any governmeut not baaed
upon the oonaent of th governed Is a
tyrnuuy: aud that to impose npon any
people a goverument is to substitute the
method of imperialism for thoas of
a republic. We hold that the constitu
tion follows the flag snd denounoes th
doctriue that an executive or congress,
deriving their existence snd powers
from the ponstitutiou, can exercis law
f ul authority beyond it or in violation
of it. We assert that no nation oan
long endure half republic and half em
pire, aud we warn th people that im
perialism abroad will lead quickly and
inevitably to despotism at kume.
Purto KI.e Tartar Law D.MUM4.
Believing in these fundamental prin
ciples, we denounce th Porto Rioaa
law enacted by a Republican congress
SKuiuHt the protest aud opposition of
the Deinouratio minority, as a bold and
open violation of the Bat ion's" organio
law and a flagrant breach of th na
tional good faith. It impose npon th
people of Porto Rico a government with
out their consent and taxation without
representation. It dishonors th Am
erican people by repudiating a solemn
pledxe made in their behalf by the com
mauding xeueral of our army, which
the Porto Kicans welcomed to a peace
ful aud unresisted occupation of their
laud. It doomed to poverty and die.
tress a people whose helplessness ap
peals with peculiar fore to our justice
aud magnanimity. In this, the first act
of its imperialistic programme, the- Re
publican party seeks to commit the
United Istatea to a ooloaiai policy, In
conHiKteut with Republican institutions
aud condemned by the snprem oourt in
numerous decisions.
I'lauk ua th. Cobaa Qeastl.a.
We demand the prompt aud honest
falnlliueiitof every pledge to th Cuban
people, and the world, that the United
Suites has no disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over the island of Cuba, xoept
for its pacification. Th war ended
u early two years ago, profanud peace
reigus all over th Island, and still th
administration keeps the frrnmeut of
the islaud from its people, while Re
publican carpet-bag omoiala plunder its
revenues aud exploit the colonial theory
to the disgrace of th American people.
I MIIprlM Pell.y Coadeasaea.
We coudrmn and denounce th Phil
ippine policy of the present administra
tion. It has embroiled the repnblio in
an unnecessary war, aacrifloed th lives
of many of its noblest sons and placed
the United States, previously known
sad applauded threughost th world as
th champion of freedom, in th false
and un-American position of oroahiug
with military force th effort of our
former allies to achieve liberty and self-1
government. Th Filipino cannot be
citizens without endangering our civil
ization; they .cannot be subjects with
out imperiling oar form of gevernmeat,
and as we are not willing to surrender
our civilisation or to convert th re
public into an empire, w favor an im
mediate declaration of th nation's pur
pose to give to tb TOlpinue first, a
state of government; second, independ
ence, aud third, protection from outsail,
interference such as haa bean given for
nearly a century to th repablio of
Central sad South America.
The greedy oommeroialism ' whioli
dictated the Philippine so' Icy of th
Republican administration attempts to
justify it with the plea that it will pay,
but even this aomtid and unworthy plea
fails wheu brought to the test of facts.
The " war of criminal ' aggression "
against the Philippines, entailing annu
ally an expense of many millions, has
already cost more than any powaibl
profit that could accrue from th atir
Philippine trade for years to Dome.
Furthermore, whea trad is extended
at the expense of liberty, th price is al
ways too high.
D.Merat aad l.rrltorlal Bspeaaloa.
We are not opposed te territorial ex
pansion, when it take in desirable ter
ritory which can be erected iuto stales
la the uuion, and whose people are will
ing and tit to become American oitiaeBS.
We favor trade expansion by every
peaceful and legitimate mesas; but we
are unalterably opposed to the seising
or purchasing of distant islands to be
governed outside the constitution aud
w hose people can never become citiseus.
We are iu favor of extending th re
public's influence among th nations,
Lot believe that influence ahould b x
taed, not by fore and violence, but
through the persuasive poliey of a high
and hoifbrable example.
aarlnll.M Ih Beralag laaae.
The importance of other questions
now pendiug before the Amertona peo
pl la in nowise diminished, and the
Democratic party takes no backward
step from its position on them, bat th
barnuig issue of Imperialism, (rowing
at ef th Spanish war. Involve the
very existence of the repnblle and the
destruction of our free institution. We
regard it as the parkin oast lata ol
the oampa g i.
The declaration in th Republican
platform adopted at th Philadephia
uuv.atiou held in June, lROO, that the
Rcpumicao party "steadfastly adhere
to the policy announced in the Monroe
d.x-trine" is manifestly Insincere and
deceptive. This profession is oontrt.
dieted l.y the avowed policy of the party
in opiwitlou to the spirit of th Monro
doctrine, to admire and bold sovereignty
over Urge areas of territory and large
numU r of people in the eastern hemis
phere. We insist on th strict main,
tenmee of the Monro doctrine, and In
sll it integrity. In letter and in iplrit,
as neceftaary to prevent the extension of
European nnthont en this eonllaset
and a essential to our supremacy hi
American affairs. At the same tim.
W declare that no American people
shall aver be held by force iu un
willing fabjectiou to Emopeau an
Ihority. ' Opposltloa te MllllarUsa.
W oppose militarism. It means eon
jaeet abroad aud intimidation aud op
pression at home. It means the strong
arm. which has ever been fatal to free
institutions. It is what million of
our citizens have fled from in Europe.
It will impose upon our peaoe-Ioviug
people a large standing army, an un
necessary burdeu of taxation aud a con
stant menace to t heir liberties. A stand
ing array sud a well-diiicipliued stste
militia are amply sufficient in time of
peace. This republic has no place for a
vast military service and conscription.
When the uution is in dauger the volun
teer soldier is bis country's best defeu
der. The national guard of the United
Btutes should ever be cherished in the
patriotio hearts of a free people. Such
organizations are ever an element of
treugth aud safety. For the first time
in our history aud coeval with the Phil,
ippiue oontest has there been a whole
sals departure from our time-honored
and approved system of volunteer or
ganization. We denounce it as un
American, uu Democratic, and as s sub
version of the ancient aud fixed piinci
pie of a free people.
Daaioerata and the Trust Uut.
Private . monopolies are indefensible
and intolerable. They destroy compe
tition, control the price of all material
and finished produts, thus robbing both
producer and consumer. TI.ey lesson
the employment of lulxa- and arbitrarily
fix the terms and conditions thereof, ti nil
deprive individual energy and small
capital of their opportunity tor better
ment. They are the most efficient
means yet devised for appropriating the
fruits of industry to the benefit of the
few at the expense of the many, and
unless their iusutiute grued is checked
all wealth will be aggravated iu a few
hands aud the republic will be de
stroyed. The dishouest paltering with
the trust evil by the Republican party
in state and national plutforms is con
clusive proof of the truth of the charge
that trusts are the legitimate product of
Republican policies, that they ore fost
ered by Republican laws aud that they
are protected by the Repub.ican ad
ministration iu return for campaign
subscriptions aud political support.
War Itoalarsd Privet. 'Munupoll.a,
We pledge the Democratic party to
an unceasing warfare iu nation, state
and city against private monopoly iu
every form. Existiug law against
trust must be enforced aud more strin
gent ones must be enacted providing
for publicity a to affair of corporations
engaged in interstate commerce and re
quiring all corporation to show before
doing business outside of the state of
their origin that they have no water iu
their stock and that they have not at
tempted, and are not attempting to
monopolize any business or the protec
tion of any articles of merchandise,
and the whole constitutional power of
ooogres over interstate oommeroe aud
the mills aud all modes of interstate
communication shall be exercised by the
naotmeut of comprehensive laws ajKin
th subject of tru-ts. Tariff laws should
be amended by putting the products of
trusts upon the free list to prevent mo
nopoly nuder the plea of protection.
The failure of the present K publi.
can administration, with ati absolute
oontrol over all the branches of national
goverument, to enact any legislation
designed to prevent or even curtail the
absorb! ug power of trusts and illegal
comtinationa, or to enforce the anti
trust law already on the statute books,
prove the liisiucerity of the high-sound,
ing phrases of Republican platform.
Corporations should be protected in all
their rights, aud legitimate interests
should be respected, but any attempt by
oorporat on to interfere with the pub
lic affair of the people or to control the
sovereignty which created them should
be forbidden under inch peualties ss
will make such attempts impossible.
Ws condemn the Dingley tariff law as
a trust-breeding measure, skillfully de
vised to give the few favors which they
do not deserve and to place npon the
many burdens which they should not
W favor inch an enlargement of the

' W reaffirm and indorse the princi
ples ef the national Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago in 18116, aud
we reiterate th demand of that plat
form for an American financial system
mad by ths Amerioau people for them
selves, which shall restore and maintain
a bimetallic price level, aud as part of
(bob system the immediate restoration
f the free and unlimited ooiuage of
stiver and gold at th present legal
tatlon of 16 to 1, without waiting for
ths aid or consent of any othar nation.
' W denounce the currency bill en
acted at the last session of congress as a
step forward in the Republican policy
Which alms to discredit the sovereign
right of the national governmeut to is
axi all money, whether coin or paper,
tad to bestow upoa national bank th
power to issue and oontrol the volume
mj aaper money for their own benefit.
A permanent national bank currency,
secured by government bonds, must
have a permanent debt to rest upon, aud
if the bank currency is to increase with
population and business, the debt must
slso Increase. The Republican cur
rency scheme la, therefore, a scheme fisr
fastening npon the tsxpayer a perpetual
aad growing debt for the benefit of tb
banks. W are opposed to this private
xrporation paper circulated as money,
but without legal tender qualities, and
demand the retirement of natioual
bank notes, as the government paper of
silver certificatea can be substituted for
ihem.
Ws favor an amendment to the fed

Jefferson said: " Peace, commerce
and honest friendship wil h all nations,
entangling alliances with none." We
spprove this wholes., mo doctrine and
earnestly protest tigainst the Republi
can departure which has involved us iu
so-called world politics, including the
diplomacy of Kurope and intrigue aud
land grubbing of Asia, and we esxoi al
ly condemn the ill concealed Republi
can alliance with England, which must
mean discrimination against other
friendly nations, and which has alread
titled the nation's commerce while lib
erty i becoming strangled in Africa.
Sympathy fur 8triiKK'lnir H.mts.
Believing in the principles of self
goverumeut and rejecting as did our
forefathers the claim of monarchy, we
view with indignation the purpose of
England to overwhelm with force the
South African republics. Speaking us
we believe, for the entire American na
tion, except its Republican. otllCL li .M
era, and for a 1 free men everywhere,
we extend our symp ithies to the heroic
burgher iu their unequal struggle to
maintain their liberty and independ
ence. Repeal of th. War Tanra.
We denounce the lavish appropria
tions of the recent Republican con
greases, which have kept taxes high
and which threaten the KTpetuiitiou of
oppressive war levies. Wo opis.se the
accumulation of a surplus to tie squan
dered in such baiefaoed fraii'ls npon
the taxpayer as the shipping subsidy
bill, which, under the false pretense of
prospering American ship-building,
would put unearned millions into
the pockets of several contributors to
the Republican campaign fund. We
favor the reduction ami sisedy repeal
of the war tuxes and a return to the
time-honored Democratic policy of
strict economy in governmental expen
ditures. Believing that our most cherished in
stitutions are in great peril, that the
very existence of our constitutional re
public i at stake, and that the decision
now to be rendered will iVterniine

The candidates placed before the
people of the United StUe by the
republican national convention ou
21st of June, 1900, occupy a unique
position in the history of American
politics. Both were nominated
without a single dissenting vote. No
parallel to this unanimity of thought
and action is to lie found in the
records ol na ionul conventions in
this country. Both candid,.tus
would have been nominated by ac
clamation did not the time honored
rule require the formality of a ballot.
The reason for this remarkable ac
cord In Ihe choosing of the republi
can presidential ticket for the cam-
Htigu of 1900 is not far to seek. In
Ihe case of President McKlnley a re
nomination was a foregone coiirluslon
almost from Ihe moment he took the
oath of office on the 4 Hi of March
1897. This ctttiioty was only made
more certain by a chain of events
which served lo show how wisely
Ihe people chose iu Ihe election ol
1896 and to foreshadow the Hpular
demand that was lo uctke Itself felt
with regard tj accoml term. Just
as Wni. McKinley was the logical
candidate of bis parly at a time when
his country was suffering the pangs
(.rbankruptcy and ruin as the result
of running after false guides, so was
William McKlnley the logical, the
inevitable candidate of his patty at a
time when his great mission of re
storing pnwperity stood accomplish
ed, and when new and trying prob
lems growit g out of unprecedented
aud difficult conditions required for
their safe solution the name clear
brain and the same lofty rtitesman
ship that aeived the country so well
in its time of trial. Hence there whs
and could be no candidate other than
William McKinley.
Kqually patent and potent reasons
impelled the unanimous nomination
of Tin o lore IViosevelt as candidate
for vice president. No ether lost
considered in connction with that
office so filled the public eye nnd the
publi.: mind. Civilian and soldier,
citixen and man, student nnd ranch
man, scholar and rough rider, his
character, his name and his record
ap aled irresistibly to American ap
preciation of brsin, energy and

verified by the practical experience

that the Oregon maple is superior to
