FAVORS FrGHT -ON TRUSTS Action of Republican Administration In Compromism? With Standard Oil and Tobacco Combines Condemned-Vlewa on Other Subjects. rf. - Following ' -e the principal plank? of the platform adopted by th-e Demo cratic ne.tional convention at Balti more. ...'Ti..;..).... The Tariff Reform ? "We declare lt to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government under the Constitution has no right or pow er to Impose or collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the ne cessities of government honestly and economically administered. "The high Republican tariff is the principal cause of the unequal distri bution of wealth ?it is a system of taxation which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; under its opera tions the American farmer and labor ing man are the chief sufferers; it raises the cost of the necessaries of life to them, but d?es not protect their product or wages, "We favor the immediate down ward revision of the existing high, and in many cases, prohibitive tariff duties, insisting that material reduc tions be speedily made upon the nec essaries of life. ''Articles entering In to competition with trust controlled products and articles of American manufacture where sold abroad more cheaply than at home could be put upon the free list "We denounce the action of Presi dent Taft in vetoing the bills to re duce the tariff in the cotton, woolen, metals and chemicals schedules and the farmers free list bills, all of which vas designed to give immedi ate relief to the masses from the ex actions of the trusts, "The Republican party, ?.while promising tariff rerislon, has shown by its tariff legislation that such re vision is not to be in the people's in terests and having been faithless to its pledges of 190S lt should no longer enjoy the confidence of the nation. High Cost of Living. "The high co : of living is a se rious problem in every American borne. The Republican party in its platform attempts to escape from re sponsibility for present conditions by Ponying that they are due to a pro tective tariff. We take issue with them on this subject and charge that excessive prices result in a large measure from ihe high tariff lavis en acied and maintained by the Repub lican party, and frcm trusts and com mercial conspirators fostered and en couraged by such laws, and we assert that no substantial relief can be se cured for the people until import du ties on the necessaries of life are ma terially reduced, and those criminal conspiracies broken up. Anti-Trust Law. "A private monopoly is indefensi ble and intolerable. We therefore fa vor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal as well as the civil law against trusts and trust officials, and demand enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make lt impossible for a private mo nopoly to exist in the United States. "We condemn the action of the Re publican administration In compro mising with the Standard Oil Com pany and the tobacco trust and its failure to invoke the criminal pro visions of the anti-trust law against the officers of those corporations aft- j QT the court had declared that from the undisputed facts in the record they had" vi'olal?d the criminal provis "We regret that Sherman anti-trust law has received a judicial construc tion depriving it of much of HB ef ficac3% and we favor the enactment of leg^lation which will restore to the statute the strength of which it has been deprived by such interpretation. Income Tax and Popular Election of Senators. "We congratul?t*? the oountry upon the triumph of two Important reforms demanded in the last national plat form, namely, the amendment of tho federal constitution authorizing an in come tax and the amendment provid ing for the popular election of sena tors, and we call upon the people of all the states to rally to the support of the pending propositions and secure their ratification. "We note with gratification the unanimous sentiment in favor of The Cld-Fashloned Fire. Could anything be more refreshing than the smell cf the old-fashioned wood fire in late spring or early au tumn? There ls something grimy in the reek of coal, and the odor of gas ls nauseating. Modern inventions may have brought their "conveni ences" but a staid old senator, who lately parsed beyond, i;;:;is'.ed that when he wanted a real nfght of com fort, after-the family had ail gen* south for the winter, he wouid hie himself home, bui.'d au u!(l-..;.-.;:...

The movement towards more popu lar government should be promoted through legislation in each state which will permit the expression of the pref erence of the electors for national can did^kat presidential primaries, ^'^?Kirect that the national com mittee Incorporate in the call for the next nominating convention a require ment that all expressions of preference for presidential candidates shall be given and the selection of delegates I and alternates be through a primary election conducted by the party or- I ganizaffon in each state where such | exprefsion and election are not pro vided for by state law. Term of President "We favor a single presidential term, and to the end urge the adoption of an amendment to the constitution making the president of the United States Ineligible to re-election, and we pledge the candidate of this conven tion to this principle. Railroads, Express Companies, Tele graph and Telephone Lines. "We favor the efficient supervision and rate regulation of railroads, ex press companies, telegraph and tele phono lines engaged in Interstate com merce. To this end we recommend the valuation of railroads, express companies, telegraph and telephone lines by the Interstate commerce com mission, such valuation to take into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost, the cost of reproduction, and any element of value that will render the valuation fair and Just Banking Legislation. "We oppose the so-called Aldrtch bill or the establishment of a cen tral bank, and we believe the people of the country will be largely freed from p?nica and consequent un-employment ?nTX?iiuess depression by such ? sys tematic revision of our banking laws a8 will render temporary relief in lo calities where such relief ls needed, with rrc^ctiTm ?rom control or dom inatioTi by what ls known as the money trust. j Parcels Post and Rural Delivery. "We favor the establishment of a parcels post or postal express, and also the extension of the rural de livery system as rapidly aa practic able. The campaign contributions plank pledges the party to the enactment of a law prohibiting any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund. It also limits individual contributions to a "reasonable maximum.** The Democratic congress ls heartily commended for its long list of laws for the benefit of the people after a generation of unlimited power by the Republican party. The next plank arraigns the Republican party for waste of "the money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation." A plank on rural credits is of im portance. It is recommended that an investigation of agricultural credit so cieties in foreign countries be made looking toward devising a suitable sys tem for the United States. A water ways plank provides for federal con trol of the Mississippi and other, wa terways.
