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.

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.
