THE PLATFORM. ? ? The Democratic 1'IuKorm is Publish. e?l in ihis Paper. The first plunk is generalities about an imperialism that presents horrors that do not exist. The Porto Rlcun plank Is uot far out of the way. The Porto Kicans have not been treat ed right. The demand for ttie prompt and honest fulfillment of pledge to Cuba is surplussage ol words. Cuba will never be anything else than a part of this country. In 18.>1 the Democratic administration of this country ottered Spain fl2u,000,000 for the Island. Their descendants are not toollsb enough to throw the island away in liKK). lUt) imiucisvu iuc ^muui ui Wiuu ? ? realize that Porto Rico and the Pblllppiues occupy the samp relative position to the I'nited States. The islands will in time become States of this I'nion. Their citizens In time will be worthy to be admitted to full fellowship in this great nation, and they will be allowed to enjoy the blessings of freedom. Democrats who are opposed to expansion should state their position. The only possibility of expansion at present is in China. If anti-expansionists would begin the disintegration with the Pbilllpplne islands?where would they stop? The "persuasive expansion" reminds us of the persuasive methods which Grant and Sherman used. The Monroe doctrine Is all right when properly Interpreted, that is: so as to be of no embarrassment to our own growth and expansion. The militarism is not a question before the people, but if it was, we should favor bigger army and a greater navy. The warfare against trusts is put In to catch tiles. The reference to strikes is intended to catch I other flies. I The fact that the labor organizations of this I country are the most powerful and most dan} gerous trusts on earth seems to have been entirely ignored. II the "trusts" to which the platform refers were to lay destructive hands on property and murder inoffensive citizens we would no doubt hear directly from the platform on that subject. The tarifl plank lacks specifications, and is therefore pointless. That plank about inter-state commerce is all right. The sixteen-to-one plank Is to be considered as rubbish not worthy of preservation. The currency plank doesn't line up with the sixteen-to-one plank. The national banking was the best result of Confederate war. and the Republican scheme to supply the needed money is the best that human Ingenuity has yet devised. The popular election of Senators Is rot, pure and simple. Any state can eleot Senators, as South Carolina now does. Sympathy for the Boers was out of place. The bid for the vote of strikers and outlaws was not quite up to the requirements. The president of the labor noiooa should have been nominated for Vice President. But good government, peace and order, demands that labor vlolaters of the laws should be brought to the bar of Justice. There is infinitely more danger from labor strikers who kill honest men for no greater crime than wanting to work, than there is lrom trusts by capitalists. The plank against the subsidy may or may not be right. But if we had a vote we would enlarge the shipping Interests of the country, and we would build more battleships. The demand for the repeal of the war tax is right. It is not clear to u? how the canal plank got into the platform. Jt is the one enterprise or proposition at which the Democrats did not kick. Asa whole the platform is an exceedingly poor piece of literature. LOWNDESVILLE NOTES. Returned After Fifty Years?Change* able Weather?Personal Mention.
