; mimv r wnpimm9 > n ' ?*^^;* THE BATTLE CRY | Of the Reunited Democratic Party in this Campaign. IT IS A SOUND DOCUMENT. imperialism is the Paramount Issue, Because by it the Republic of Our Fathers is Imperilled. Following is tho ofhoial text of tho platform as agroed upon by tho oommittro on resolutions and presontnd to tho National Deuiooratio Convontion: Wo, tho rcprcsentativos of tho Domoratio party of tho United States assembled in National Convention on tho anniversary of the adoption of tho Declaration of tho Independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal proolatntion of tho inalieuablc rights of man and our allcgianco to tho Constitution fratnod in harmony therewith by the fathers of tho Republic. Wc hold with the United States Supreme Court that t ho Declaration of Independence is the rpirit of our Government, of which the Constitution is tho form and letter. Wo declare again that all governments iuctitutcd among mon derive their just powers from thee msentof the governed; that any government not based upon tho oonscutof tho governed is a tryanuy, and that to impose upon any people a government of foroo is to substitute tho - methods of imperialism for thoso of a rc.nublio. Wo hold that tho Constitu lion folictho lUg, and denounce the doctrine that a* excoutivc or Congress, deriving their existence and their powers from the Constitu^on, cnncxcreiso lawful authority beyond it, or in violation of it. We assert that no na tion can long cuduro half republic and half empiro, and we warn tho American people that imperialism abroad will lead quiokly and inovitably to despotism at home. THE rORTO RICAN SCANDAL Relieving in these fundamental principles, wo donouuee tho l'orto Riean law, enacted by a Republican CougrcBS against tho protest and opposition of the Uomocratio minority, as a bold and open violation of the nation's organic law and a flagrant breach of tho national good faith. It imposes upon tho pcoplo of l'orto Rico a government without their consent and taxation without representation. Itdishonors the American pco plo by repudiating a solomn pledge mado in their behalf by the command ing general of our army, which the Rorto Ricans wcloomcd to a peaceful and unresisted occupation of their land. It doomed to poverty and distress a pcoplo whose holplessncss appeals with peculiar forco toour justice and mag nanimity. In this, the first act of its imperialistic programmo, tho Republican party seeks to commit tho United States to a colonial policy, inconsistent with Republican institutions and condemned by the Supreme Court in numerous deoisiona. WE MUST NOT CHEAT CUliA. Wo demand the prompt and honest ? ~i - ..... iuiuiuiuin ui our pougo 10 tno UUDan people and tho world thai tho United States has no disposition nor intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or oontrol over tho Island ot' Cuba, except for its pacitioation. Tho war onded nearly two years ago, profouud peaco rcignB ovor all the island, still tho Ad ministration keeps tho govcrninont of tho island from its people, whilo Republican carpot-bag officials plunder its revenues and oxploit tho colonial theory to the disgraoo of tho American pcoplo. S1IAMK OK TIIP FILIPINO WAIt. Wo condemn and denounoo tho Philippine policy ol tho preBout Ad ministration. It has involved tho Republic iu unnecessary war, sacrificing tho lives of many of our noblest sons, and plaoed tho United Slates, previously knovn and applauded throughout tho world as tho champion of freedom, in thefalsoand I n-American position of crushing with military force tho efforts of former allies to aohiove liberty and self govcrninont. Tho Filipinos oannot be citizens without endangering our civilization; thoy eaanot bo sulj? ots without imperilling our form of government, and, as wc aro not willing to surrender our civilization or to convert tho Rcpublio into an empire, wo favor an immcdiato declaration of the nation, viz: first, a stable form of government, second, inpependcnco, and third, protection from outsido interfcr ruco, suon as nan t>een given for nearly u eentury to tho Republics of Central and South America. The greedy commercialism which dictated tho Philippine policy of tho Re publican Administration attempts to justify it with tho plea that it will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought to tho test of faots. The war of criminal aggression against tho Filipinos, entailing an annual expense of many millions, has already cost more than any possible profit that oould accruo from tho cntiro Philippine trado for years to come. Further more, when trade is extended with the expenso of liberty tho prioo is always too high. DIFFERENCE IlKTW EEN F.PXPAN8ION AND IMPERIALISM. We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in dcsirablo territory whioh can bo crcoted into Statos in tho Union, and whoso pcoplo are willing and fit to become American cit'zons. Wo favor expansion by overy peacef .1 --11 iiii ana icguinialo means. Hut aro unalterably opposed to seizin/or purchasing of distant islands to be ttovorncd outside the Constitution, and whose pco pie oan never bccomo citizens. Wo aro in favor of extending tho Republic's influence among the nations, but believe that intiuonoo should bo extended, not by force and violcnoo, but through tho persuasivo power of a high and honorable example. Tho importance of old questions now pending before tho American people is in no wise diminishing, and the Domooratio party takes no baokward step from its position on them, but tho burning issue of imperialism, growing out of tho Hpaniah war, involves the very existenoe of tho Republic and tho destruction of our free institutions. Wo rogard it as the paramount issue of tho campaign. it, w I " .1 "-JiVv y ~**"~ r*W!W> - x " T P lyijWMttl lAPKM'W"" " Mir iWvRor i>ottr*ifti. Tlii declaration i ^ I bo Republican platfuftu, adopted at tho Philadelphia Convention held in .Juno, 1000, that tho Uopubliean party "steadfastly adheres to tho policy announced in tho Monroo doctrine," is manifestly insineoro aud deceptive, This procossion is contradicted by tho avowed policy of tho party, in opposition to tho spirit of tho Monroo doctrino, to ao<juiro and hold sovereignty over largo areas of territory and largo numbers of peoplo in tho Kastcrn hemisphere Wo insist on the strict maintenance of tho Monroo doctrino and in all its integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as neocs sary to prevent the extension of Euro pcan authority on this continent, uu 1 as 06sential to our supremacy in Auieri oan affairs. At tho sarno timo wo do olare that no American pooplo shall ever bo hold hy forco in unwilling subjection to European authority. Wo opposo militarism. It means conquest abroad and intimidation and oppression at homo. It means tho strong arm whioh lias ever boon fatal to free institutions. It is what millions of our citizens havo Hod from in Europe. It will impose upon our penooloving people a largo standing army and unnecessary but den of taxation and a constant menace to their liberties. A small standing army and a well disciplined State militia arc amply suflioient in timo of pence. This Kopublic has no pluco for a vast military service and oonscription. TIIUST TO Ol'lt VOI.U.N I'KK U.S. When tho nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country's best defender. The National Guard of the 1 cited States should ever bo cherished in tho patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organizations arc ever an element of strength and safety. For the lirst time in our history and coeval with the Philippine conquest has there been a wholosalo departure from the timehonored and approved system of voluo toer organization. Wo denounce it as I'n-American, Un-Democratic and Un-Kcpublioan, and as a subvcision of the anoicnt and fixed- principles of a freo people. TIIU8T8 DENOUNCED. Private monopolies aro indefensible and intolerable. They destroy oompotition, control tho price of all material and of tho finished product, thus rob bing both producer and consumer. They lesson 4.I10 employment of labor and arbitrarily lix the terms and condi tions thereof, and deprive individua energy and small capital of their oppor tunity for betterment. They aro the most efficient uioans yet devised for appropriating tho fruits of industry to tho benefit of tho few at ihoexpcnso of the many, and unless their insatiate greed is checked all wealth will ho aggregated in a few hands and the Republic destroyed. The dishonest paltering with the trust ovil by the Republican party in Slate and national platforms is conclusive proof of tho truth of the ohargo that trusts are tho legitimate product of Republican policies; that they are fostered by Republican laws, and that they are prcteetcd by the Republican Administration in returu for campaign subscrip tions and political support. Wo pledge tho Donioeratio party to an unceasing warfare in nation, State and city against private monopoly in every form. Existing laws against trusts must bo enforced and more stringent ones must bo enacted, providing for publicity as to the affairs of corporations engaged in 1 liter-State couimcrco and requiring all corporations to show, beforo doing business outsido of tho State of their origin, that they have no water in their stock, and that they liavo not attempted and aro not attempting to monopolize any branch of business or tho production of any artioles of merchandise, and tho whole constitutional power of Congress over Inter State commerce, tho mails and oil ..r hii uivuuo ui mill L.H.UU UUIIJIIIUIIIUIUKIKI shall ho exercised by the enactment ot oemprchcusive laws upon the subjoct of trusts. Tariff laws should bo amended by putting the products of trusts upon tho free list to provent monopoly under tho plea of protection. Tho failure of tho present Ropublican Administration with an absoluto control of the branches of tho National Government to enact any legislation do signed to prevent or even curtail tho absorbing power of trusts and illegal combinations, or to euforoo tho antitrust laws already on tho statute books, proves tho insincerity of tho high souning phrases of the Republican platform. Corporations should he protected in all their rights and their legitimato interests should ho respected, hut any attempt by corporations to interfcro with tho publio affairs of the people, or to control the f-ovcroignty which creates thorn should ho forbidden under such penalties as will make suoli attempt impossible. EVILS OF PROTECTION. We oondouin tho Dinglcy tariff as a trust breeding inoasuro, skilfully devised to givo tho few favors which tin y do not descrvo, and to plaoo upon the many burdens which they should not bear. Wo favor such an enlargement of the scopo of tho Inter Stato conimerco law as will onablo the commission to pro toot individuals and communities from discriminations and tho public from unjust and unfair transportation ratos. .SIXTEEN TO ONE. We reaffirm and endorso tho principles of tho national Democratic platform adopted at Chicago in 189t>, and wo roitcrato the demand of that platfonu for an American financial system uiado by tho American pooplo for themselves, which shall restore and maintain a bi motallio prico level, and as part of such eystcm tho immediate restoration of tho free and unlimited ooinago of silver and gold at tho prcsont legal ratio of 1(5 to 1, without waiting for the aid or eonsont of any other nation. tir J - ? .... vy e acnounoo tuo currenoy bill enacted at tho last session of Congress as a step forward in tho Republican policy which aims to discredit tho sovereign right of the National Government to issue all money, whether coin or papor, and to bestow upon national banks tho power to issuo and control tho volumo of papor monoy for their own boncfit. A pormamcnt national bat k ourrcnoy, scoured by Government bonds must have a permanent debtto rest upon and if tho bank currenoy is to increase with population and businsss tho debt must also incroaso. Tho Republican currenoy sohome is, therefore, a sohomo i \ toi faslShing upon taxpayers a perpcta*! cud growing debt for tbo benetlt of the banks. Wo are opposed to this private corporation paper circulated as money, but without legal tender qualities, and demand the retirement of tbo national bank notos as fast as tbis Government t>aoer or silver enlilinatea n?n Vi? bmK. stitutcd for them. I'OlTI.Alt ELECTION OK SENATORS. We favor au amendment to tho I'oddcral Constitution providing for tho election of United States Senators by a direct vote of tho pooplo, and direct legislation wherever practicable. Wo aro opposed to government by injunction: wo denounoo tho black-list and favor arbitration as a moans of sottling disputes botwecn corporations and their employees. In the interest of American labor and tho uplifting of tho workingman as tho corner stone of tho prosperity of our country we reoomtnond that Congress orealo a department of labor in chargo of a secretary, with i scat in tho Cabinet, believing that tho olevation il..

We are proud of tho courago aud fidelity of tho American soldiers and sailors in all our wars; we favor liberal pensions and we reiterate tho position taken in tho Chicago platform of 1890,' that the fact of enlistment and service shall bo deemed oonclusivo cvidonoo against discaso and disability boforo enlistment THE NICAUAUUAN CANAL Wo favor tho immediate construction, ownership and control of tho Nicaragua Canal by tho Unitod States, and we denounce tho insincerity of tho plank in the national Republican platform for an Isthmian canal, iu tho faco of the failuro of tho Republican majority to pass tho bill ponding in ('engross. Wo condemn tho llay-l'aunocfoto treaty as a surrender of American rights and interests not to be tolerated by tho American people. STATES To KK ADMITTED. Wo denounco tho failure of the Republican | aity to carry out its pledges to grant Statehood to tho Territories ol Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and wo promise tho peoi lo of these Territories immediate Statehood and homo rule during their condition as TorritorioB, and wo favor homo rule and a Territorial form of government for Alaska and I'orto Rico. Wo favor an intelligent system of improving the arid lands of the West, storing the waters for purposes of irrigation and the holding of such lands for actual settlers Wo favor the oontinuanco and strict enforcement of tho Chineso exclusion law and its application to tho tumo classes of Asiatic races. sympathy with thi: hukiis. .Jefferson said: l'caoe, commerce and houost friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with nono. Wo approve tins wholesome doctrino and earnostlv protest against tho Republican departure, which has involved us in Bo-oallcd world politics, including iho diplomacy of Kuropo ami tho iuIri11 o ami land-grabbing of Asia, ami wo especially condemn the ill-concoaled Republican aUiamo with England, which must mean discrimination against other friendly nations and which has already stifled tho nation's voice while liberty is being strangled in Africa. Believing in tho principles of selfgovernment aud rejecting, as did our forefathers, tho claim of monarchy, wo view with indignation tho purposo of lilngland to overwhelm with forco tho South Afrioau republics. Speaking, as wo do, for the entire American nation, except its itepublioan ollioc-holdcrH, aud for all freemen everywhere, wo extend our sympathies to the heroic burghers in tho unequal strugglo to maintain their liberty and independence.

Wo oppose the accumulation of a surplus to ho squandered in such barefaced frauds upon tho taxpayers as tho shipping subsidy bill, which, under tho fatso protenoo of prospering American shipping, would put unearned millions into tho pockets of favorito contributors to the Kopubliaan campaign fund. Wo favor tho reduction and speedy repeal of tho war taxes and a return to tho tiiuo-honorcd Democratic policy of strict economy in (lovornmontal expenditures. Believing that our most oherished institutions aro in great potil; that tho very cxistcuco of our constitutional Republic is at stako, and that tho decision now to bo rendered will determine whether or not our children aro to enjoy thoso blessed privileges of free government which have mado tho United States great, prosperous and honored, wo earnestly ask for tho foregoing declaration of principles the hearty sup port of tho liberty-loving American people, rogardlcss ol previous party alliliaiions.

In elosing ho said: "New York expects to join with you with her 3l> electoral votes," and then as he stepped down from tho platform the convention became a bedlam again. Thcro were scvoral others whosooonded HIU IIU1UIU1IUUI1. Tho secretary then began to call the roll of States on the ballot for presidential nomination. As the roll call proceeded the shouts of approval of tho unanimity of tho vote seemed to inoreaso. All of tho large Slates were ohccied heartily as one after another they east votes for Mr. Bryan. Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Mass ichu-cts wero cheorcd cor dially, but when Missouri and a minute later Nebraska were called tho convention fairly palpitated with enthusiam.

Tho announcement by Chairman Kiohardson that Mr. Bryan had boon nominated for president of tho United States unanimously was rcooived with great applause, but it did not compare with tho previous demonstrations during tho day. Tho hugo 11 ?g suspended from tho roof which had played its part earlier in tho session was again lowered, tho hand played aud tho pcoplo cheered. Standing on their seats, some of tho dologatos waved Hags or standards, but tho enthusiasm did not run at high tide.
