8T. LOUIE, July 7.—Following la
the Democratic platform:
We, the delegates of the Democratic
party of the United Htates, In national
onventlon assembled, declare our de
votion to the essential principles of the
Democratic faith which bring u* to
gether In hearty communion.
Under them, local self-government
and national unity nnd prosperity were
alike established. They underlaid our
independence, the structure of our free
republic, and every Democratic exten
sion from Louisiana to California an’d
Texas, to Oregon, which preserves
faithfully In the states the tie between
taxation and representation. They yet
Inspirit the masses of our people,
guarding Jealously their rights and lib
erties, and cherishing their fraternity,
peace and orderly development. Thev
remind u* of our duties and responsi
bilities as citizens and Impress upon us,
particularly at this time, the necessity
of reform and the rescue of the admin
istration of government from the head-
Wrong, arbitrary and spasmodic meth
ods whlh distract business by uncer
tainty. nnd pervade the public mind
with dread, distrust and perturbation.
Principles of Government.
**The application of these fundamen
tal principles to the living I agues of
the day constitutes the first step to
ward the assured peace, safety and
progress of our nation. Freedom of the
press, of conscience and of speech:
equality before the law of nil citizens,
the right of trial by Jury; freedom of
the person defended by the writ of ha
beas corpus: liberty of personal con
tract untrammeied by sumptuary laws;
the supremacy of civil over military
authority: a well disciplined militia;
th* separation of church and state;
economy in expenditures; low taxes,
that labor may be lightly burdened;
the prompt and sacred fulfillment of
public and private obligations; fidelity
to treaties; peace and friendship, with
all nations, entangling alliances with
none; absolute acquiescence In the will
of the mujorlty. the vital principle of
republics—these are doctrines which
Democracy has established as proverba
of the nation nnd they should he con
stantly Invoked, preached, resorted to
and enforced.
Expenditures.
"1. Large reductions can readily be
made In the annual expedlturea of the
government without Impairing the effi
ciency of any branch of the public ser
vice. and we shall Insist upon the
strictest economy and frugnllty com
patible with vigorous and efficient
civil, military and naval administration
as a right of the people, too clear to be
denied or withheld.
The Trusts.
'2. The enforcement of honesty In
the public service nnd to that end a
thorough legislative Investigation of
those executive departments of tho
government, already known to teem
with corruption, aa well aa other de
partments suspected of harboring cor
ruption, and the punishment of ascer
tained corruptionists without fear or
favor or regard to persons. The per
sistent and deliberate refusal of both
the senate and house of representatives
to permit such Investigation to be
inn do by either branch of congress
demonstrates that only by a change
in tho executive and in the- house
of representatives can complete ex
posure, punishment and correction be

obtained.
In broader furtherance of that end
the federal government should not per
mit itself to he robbed by entering Into
contracts with convicted trusts or un
lawful combinations In restraint of In
terstate trade, existing in violation of
law. We believe that one of the best
methods of procuring economy and
honesty In the public service la to have
public officials, from the occupant of
the White House down to the lowest
of th am. return, ae nearly gs may bo.
to Jeffersonian almpllclty of living.
Kind of President Needed.
"3. We favor the nomination and
eleytlon of u president trained In the
waya of the constitution, who shall aet
hla foes sternly against executive
usurpation of legislative and Judicial
fund Iona, whether that usurpation be
ruled under the gules of exectulve con
struction of existing laws, or whether
It take refuge In the tyrant’s pleas of
necessity or superior wisdom.
4. Th* Democratic party haa been
and will continue to he the consistent
opponent of that class of tariff legis
lation bp which certain Interests have
been permitted, through congressional
favor, to draw a heavy tribute from
the American People. Thta monstrous
perversion of those equal opportunities
which our political Institutions ware
eatahllahed to secure, haa caused what
may once have been Infant tnduatrlos
to becomo the greatest combinations
of capital that the world has ever
♦ j known. These publicly favored enter-
♦ prises have through trust methods
T been converted Into monopolies, thus
T I bringing to an end domestic compel I-
1 tlon. which waa the only check upon
♦ tho extravagant profits made pos-
4 slide by the protective system. These
T Industrial combinations, by the flnati-
T clal asletunce they can give, now con-
f I trol the policy of the Republican party.
♦ "We favor a wise, conservative and
4 business-like revision nnd n gradual
4 I reduction of the tariff by the friends of
the tnaeeea and for the common weal,
end not by the friends of its abuses,
its extortions and Its discriminations,
keeping In view the ultimate end of
• quality of burdens and equality of
opportunities.” and the constitutional
purpose of raising a revenue by taxa
tion. to wit the support ot the federal
government In all Its Integrltv and
virility, hut In simplicity; and keeping
also In view, aa men of common eenae
should, existing conditions, however
. wrongfully, mistakenly or unjustly
I brought about, and the danger to the
cede* of tariff reform Itself of abrupt
volutionary reversal of policy,
should bear In mind. In short
these two things: First the general
principle that the tola derivation of
T I the powar of taxation is tha. support
of the fedora! government economical
ly. effectively and consttltutlonhlly ad
ministered, and. second, the equal
truth that In the* assertion of any gen
eral principle and In reaching any
ultimate end. however sacred and log
ically unavoidable, due regard, but
only due regard, must and aboujd be
paid to actually existng conditions.
Trusts and Tariff.
6—We favor the reduction of tariff
taxation upon trust-produced articles
to the point where foreign competition
may enter the American market when
ever trusts and combines, seeking mo
nopoly. raise their prices to the Amer
ican consumer above a reasonable and
Just profit, by such reduction depriv
ing trusts and monopolies of the pow
er to extort from the American people,
under shelter of American law. prices
higher than those charged foreigners
for identical articles.
The Money Question.
3—The discoveries of gold within
the past few years and the great In
crease in the production thereof, add
ing two thousand million dollars to
the world’s supply, of which seven
hundred million falls to the share of
the United States, has contributed to
the mslntenance of a money standard
of value no longer open to question,
removing that Issue from the field of
political contention.
"We demand that the restraint of
such illegal combinations he entrusted
to the Democratic party which Is not
responsible for their existence, and
which has ever protested against their
continuance.
"We condemn the Republican system
of legislation under which trust mo-
nopollen are enabled to exact higher
prices for their manufactured product*
from our people than they sell them for
abroad.
"We demand an enlargement of the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, to the end that the travr-
ellng public and shippers of this coun
try may hnve prompt and adequate re
lief for the abuses they are subjected
to In the matter of transportation.
Monroe Doctrine.
"We favor the maintenance of the
Monroe docrine in its full Integrity.
Recopricity.
We favor a liberal trade treaty with
Canuda.
Army snd Navy,
"We favor the reduction of the army
and of army expenditure to the point
historically demonstrated to be aafe
and sufficient.
We favor the maintenance nnd lib
eral annual increase of the navy as our
beet defense In our Isolated continental
conditions against a foreign foe and a
source of no possible danger to our lib
crtles aa a people.
"We favor the enactment and ad
ministration of laws, giving labor and
capital Impartially their Just rights.
Capital and labor ought not to be ene
mies. Each rs necessary to the other.
Kach has Its rights, but the rights oi
labor are certainly no less ’vested,’ no
less ‘sacred’ and no less ’Inalienable,’
than the rights of capital.
American Citizenship.
"We pledge ourselves to Insist upon
the Just nnd lawful protection of our
cltitens at home nnd abroad, and to
use nil proper measures to secure for
them, whether native horn or natural
ized. nnd without distinction of nice
or creed, the equal protection of jaws
and the enjoyment qf all rlgtha and

covenants of our treaties of friendship
nnd commerce; and if under existing
treaties the right of travel nnd sojourn
Is denied to American cltlxens or rec
ognition Is withheld from American
nan porta by any countries on the
ground of race or creed, we favor the
beginning of negotiations with tht
governments of inch countries to «e.
cure by new treaties the removal of
these unjust discriminations.

lands of the West—a measure framed
by a Democrat, passed In the senate
by a non-partisan vote and passed in

most all the Republican leaders by a
vote the majority of which wa* Demo
