DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM.
Kansas City, July 6.—Following is a text of the platform as
agreed upon by the oommittee on resolutions and adopted by the
convention:
We, the representatives of the Democratic party of the United
States, assembled in national convention on the anniversary of the
declaration of independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal
proclamation of the inalienable rights of man and our allegienoe to
the constitution framed in harmony therewith by the fathers of the
republic. We hold with the United States supreme court that the
declaration of independence is the spirit of our government, of which
the constitution is the form and letter. We declare again that all
governments instituted among men derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that any government not based upon the
consent of the governed is a tyranny; and that to impose upon any
people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperial
ism for those of a republic. We hold that the constitution follows
the flag, and denounce the doctrine that uu executive or congress de
riving their existence and their powers from the constitution can ex
ercise lawful authority beyond it, or in violation of it. We assert
that no nation can long endure half republic and half empire, and we
warn the American people that imperialism abroad will lead quickly
and inevitably to despotism at home. Believing in these principles,
we denounce the Porto Rica law, enacted by a Republican congress
against the protest and opposition of the Democratic miuority as a
bold and open violation of the nation’s organic law and a flagrant
breach of good faith. It imposes upon the people of Porto Rico a
government without their consent and taxation without representa
tion. It dishonors the American people by repudiating a solemn
pledge made in their behalf by the commanding general of our armv,
w hich the Porto Ricans welcomed, to a peaceful and unresisted occu
pation of their island. They have doomed to poverty und distress a
people whose helplessness appeals with peculiar force to our justice
and magnanimity. In this, the first act of its imperialistic program,
the Republican party seeks to commit the United States to a colonial
policy, inconsistent with Republican institutions and condemned by
the supreme court in numerous decisions.
We demand the prompt and honest fulfillment of our pledges to the
Cuban people and the world that the United States has no disposition
or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over the
island of Cuba, except for its pacificaiion. The war ended nearly two
years ago, profound peace reigns over all the island, and still the ad
ministration keeps the government of the island from its people,
while the Republican carpet bag officials plunder its revenues and ex
ploit the colonial theory to the disgrace of the American people.
PHILIPPINES POLICY DENOUNCED.
We condemn and denounce the Philippines policy of the present
administration. It has involved the republic uunecessarially in war,
sacrificed the lives of many of our noblest sons and placed the United
States, previously known and applauded throughout the world as the
champion of freedom, in the false and un-American position of crush
ing, with military force, the efforts of our former allies to achieve lib
erty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot be citizens without
endangering our civilization; they cannot be subjects without imper
iling our form of government, and as we are not willing to surrender
our civilization or controvert the republic into an empire, we favor an
immediate declaration of the nation’s purpose to give the Filipinos,
first, a stable form of government; second, independence, and, third,
protection from outside interference, such as has been given for near
ly a century to the republics of Central and South America. The
greedy commercialism which dictated ihe Philippines policy of the
Republican administration attempts to justify it with the plea that
it will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought'
to the test of facts. The war of criminal aggression against the Fil
ipinos, entailing an annual expenditure of many millions, has already
cost more than any possible profit that could accrue from the entire
Filipino trade for years to come. Furthermore, when trade is extend
ed at the expense of liberty the price is always too high.
DEMOCRACY’S VIEWS ON EXPANSION QUESTION.
We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in de
sirable territory which can be erected into states in the union and
whose people are willing and fit to become American citizens. We fa
vor trade expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means, but we
are unalterably opposed to the seizing or purchasing of distant islands
to be governed outside the constitution and whose people can Dover
become citizens. We are in favor of extending the republic’s influ
ence among the nations, but believe that influence should be extend
ed, not by force and violence, but through the persuasive power of a
high and honorable example. The importance of other questions now
pending before the American people is in no wise diminished, and the
Democratic party takes no backward step from its position on them,
but the burning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war,
involves the very existence of the republic and the destruction of our
free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign.
INSIST ON MAINTENANCE OF MONROE DOCTRINE.
The declaration of the Republican platform adopted at the Phila
delphia convention held in June, 1900, that the Republican party
“steadfastly adhered to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine”
is manifestly insincere and deceptive. This profession is contradicted
bv the avowed policy of that party in opposition to the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas of
territory and large numbers of people in the eastern hemisphere. We
insist on the strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and in all its
integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to prevent the ex
tension of European authority on this continent and essential to our
supremacy in American affairs. At the same time we declare that no
American principle shall ever be held by force in unwilling subjec
tion to European authority.
OPPOSED TO LARGE STANDING ARMY.
We oppose militarism. It means conquest abroad and intimida
tion and oppression at home. It means the strong army, which has
ever been fatal to free institutions. It is what millions of our citi
zens have fled from in Europe. It will impose upon our peace-loving
people a large standing army, an unnecessary burden of taxation and
a constant menace to their liberties. A small standing army and a
well disciplined state militia are amply sufficient in time of peace.
This republic has no place for a vast military service and conscription.
When the nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country’s
best defender. The national guard of the United States should ever
be cherished in the patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organiza
tions are ever an element of strength and safety For the first time
in our history and 00-evil with the Philippines conquest, has there
been a wholesale departure from our time-honored and approved sys
tem of volunteer organization. We denounce it as un-American, un
democratic and uurepublican, and as a subversion of the ancient and
fixed principles of a free people.
WARFARE ON THE TRUSTS.
Private monopolies are indefensible and intolerable. They de
stroy competition, control the price of all materials and of the finish
ed product, thus robbing both producer and consumer. They lessen
the employment of labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and condi
tions thereof, and deprive individual energy and small capital of their
opportunity for betterment.
They are the most efficient means yet devised for appropriating the
fruits of industry to the behefit of the few at the expense of the many,
and unless their insatiate greed is checked, ail wealth will bo aggre
gated in a few hands and the republic destroyed. The dishonest pal
tering with the trust evil by the Republican party in state and na
tional platforms is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that
trusts are the legitimate product of Republican policies; that they
are fostered by Republican laws, and that they are protected by the
Republican administration in return for campaign subscriptions and
political support.
We pledge the Democratic party to an unceasing warfare, in nation,
state and city, against private monopolies in any form. Existing
laws against trusts must be enforced, and more strengent ones must,
be enacted providing for publicity as to the affairs of corporations
engaged in interstate commerce, and requiring all corporations to
show, befere doing business outside of the state of their origin, that
they have no water in their Btock, and that they have not attempted
and” are not attempting to monopolize any branch of business or the
production of any articles of merchandise, and the whole constitu
tional power of congress over the mails and all modes of interstate
commerce shall be exercised by the enactment of comprehensive laws
upon the subject of trusts. Tariff laws should be amended bv putting
the products of trusts upon the free list to prevent monopoly under
the plea of protection.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1900.
Ai the eastorn mail ovrr the Hf*Al*oar«l vii
<lr*troy«<l in whioh thin Article whs published,
ii is reproduced at the request of many of those
who failed to net their papers for that week :
POTASH STIRRED UP.
A few weeks since, The News-
Herald saw proper to puncture the
cuticle of Potash Farrow, because
of his efforts to effect a fusion be
tween the negroes of Georgia and
the remnants of the old Populist
party, in the vain hope and expec
tation of bringing about the same
condition of affairs here that re
sulted in a similar movement in
North Carolina. Our reference to
his career during the Bullock
regime, when he and the whole
gang of scalawags and carpet-bag
gers with whom he was associated
made themselves so odious to the
white people of this Btate, evident
ly “hit the spot,” as he has been
filling the columns of the Pop-Re
publican organs of the 9th district
with filthy fulmiuatious against
us, and a futile attempt to justify
his conduct during that trying or
deal to respectable Georgians.
His principal defense seemß to
be the statute of limitations, as he
avers that the “intervening sum
shine of a third of a century”
should have shielded him from
having his old record dug up, and
the dirty linen that has been lying
hid aw’ay for years “before many
of those now at the helm of public
affairs were born,” aired before
the public afresh.
True, it has been a long time
since Bullock and his gang held
sway in Georgia, and the white
people were dominated by ignorant
negroes, carpet-baggers and scala
wags, like old Potash, who betray
ed their race and kindred for a
mess of pottage, but history has
not been silent, and the infamy of
those who were prominent actors
in that wild saturnalia has been
recorded on its everlasting pages,
and will never be forgotten
But this card of old Pot is a cu
riosity. He does not attempt to
deny that he and the whole Bul
lock gang were odious to the peo
ple of this state, and says that he
would not have noticed what we
said about him, “if his allusions
to me were simply political,” but
“dragging in my official character
as Attorney-General of Georgia,
charging that as a component part
of Governor Bullock’s administra
tion I made myself so odious”
was a little more than endurable.
As a matter of fact, The News-
Herald did not mention that he
was Bullock’s Attorney-General,
nor refer to any of his official con
duct, and all the stuff in his card
about the correctness of his “opin
ions” hasn’t the remotest connec
tion with what we actually wrote
about him.
“As attorney-General, I was the
adviser of Bullock and the State
House officers.”
Did he advise that the millions
of fraudulent bonds issued by Bul
lock’s direction, and which were
afterwards repudiated by the state,
should be “floated ?”
Did he advise Bullock that his
henchmen in the legislature should
turn out the white Democrats,who
had been fairly and honestly elect
ed, and fill their places with igtio-
rant and corrupt negroes ?
Did he advise Bullock, when the
white people had asserted their
supremacy at the polls, and the
carpet-baggers, scalawags and ne
groes had been driven from the
capitol, that it was a good time to
flee the realm, and thus avoid the
penalty of outraged law ?
Was he the adviser of Fatty
Harris, when he usurped the place
of Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives,violated all parliament
ary rules, and even refused to en
tertain any motion made by the
Democrats ?
Did he advise Bullock that Fos
ter Blodgett and Hotchkiss, who
stole the whole of the income of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
were saints and worthy of all trust
and confidence ?
There is no ‘‘official record” of
the tyranny, rottenness and cor
ruption that prevailed at the state
capitol during this crisis in Geor
gia’s history, "and Old Pot can
safely defy any one to “examine
the records and point nut." his
objectionable acts.
The Georgians of that period
are not all dead. Thousands of
them ars in active life today, and
the memory of those hateful times
is still fresh in their minds, and
time has not abat'd t heir contempt
for the whole gang As long ns
they keep silent, and make no ef
fort to repeat the experiences of
those days, decent people will
tolorate them but "•lieu they at
tempt again to direct public af
fairs and re-iuaugurate similar
conditions to those that existed
“thirty odd years ago," they will
receive the excoriation they so
richly deserve.
IS IT RIGHT
FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND
PATENT MEDICINES ?
From Sylvan Valley New*, Hrevrad. N.C.
“It may be a question whether
the editor of a newspaper has the
right to publioly recommend any
of the various proprietary medi
cines which flood the market, yet
as a preventitive of suffering we
feel it a duty to say a good word
for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
aud Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known aud used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hourß of suffering while
u physician is awaited. Wc do
not believe in depending implicit
ly on any medicine for a cure, but
we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
was kept on hand and adminis
tered at the inception of an attack
much suffering might be avoided,
aud in very many cases the pres
ence of a physician would not be
required. At least this has been
our experience during the past
twenty years. ” For sale by Bag

Railrsads In China.
It has been only a few years
since the first railroad in China
was built, in spite of the assertion
of those solemn old liars who puse
as Chinese historians and declare
that their people had ralroads a
thousaud years ago and destroyed
them because they found that
they were bad things. China, with
u territory considerable larger
than that of the United States,
has a very small railway mileage
yet. The prospect of more railway
construction was one of the causes
of the present popular outbreak
against all foreigners. The Chinese
masses have beeu inflamed by
their priests and politicians with
the idea that all innovations
will tend to make the people mis
erable, and they will resist with
their lives every onward step of
civilization. The Imperial Chinese
railroad from Tien Tsin to Pekin
is only 80 miles long. It was built
and is still owned by English cap
italists. Another railroad from
Tien Tsin to Chen Chou is 287
miles long The Belgirus have
built 80 miles of railroad from a
point five miles out of Tien Tsin
This, with a few short branch lines,
brings the total railway mileage in
China up to 495.—Atlanta Journal
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendeoitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

Teachm’ Examination.
There were seventy-seven teach
ers thut stood the lust teachers’
examination in [this county. Thir
ty-seven made licenses and forty
faiHd. In Hall county, thirty-one
secured licenses jaud twenty-nine
failed. 11l Forsyth county, some
who have held first grade licenses
failed to make any license at all
Therefore, it is seen tliar, the
new county school commissioner
of Gwinnett was not more rigid in
grading the examination papers
than the commissioners in other
counties.
In grading the examination pa
pers, the benefit of the doubt about
the correct answer to any question
was given to the teacher, aud due
oredit was given to the answers of
those questions which may have
different answers.
Of the thirty-three white toach
eas that received licenses, there
were ten first grades, twelve second
grades and eleven third grades.
There were twenty coiored teach
ers. Sixteen failed and four re
ceived third grade licenses.
Every member of the Board of
Fducation and the couuto school
commissioner deeply sympathize
with those who failed to make any
liconses, but there is no lawful pro
vision whereby a teacher can be
licensed when lie bus failed to
make the requisite mark required
by law.

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
bus beeu introduced in all oivilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.”' It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays iuflamatiou, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.
