*This and the following table embody such official figures as are available in regard to
wheat and corn, together with commercial or other estimates for a number of countries for
which official data are not furnished. There are many countries which not only issue no
official figures, but for which not even rough estimates, or information upon which to base
them can be had; and these are necessarily omitted from the tables. They are, however, for
the most part countries whose production enters to a very limited extent into the world's
commerce in the articles named, and the part of the world's production covered by the tables
embraces substantially all that is of much commercial importance.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED ^ T vT J ) ^ US u ||^ T o ^ s CONVENTION8 1N 190 ON
These extracts are almost invariably taken from the platforms adopted by conventions
. illed for the purpose of selecting delegates to the national nominating conventions, it being
the case that there is at such more freedom of expression than there is at conventions held
after the national gatherings have declared themselves upon public issues. In some of the
commonwealths, like Maine and Nevada, democratic delegates were selected at congres-
sional district conventions or by political state committees. Where parties are omitted no
declarations were made upon the issues in question.
THL FINANCES.
ALABAMA.
REPUBLICAN.
We commend congress and the president
for enacting into law a currency system
which has raised the credit of the United
States to the highest of all the nations of
the earth of modern or of ancient times,
and has thereby redeemed the pledge given
to the people in our last national platform.
DEMOCRATIC.
We believe the Chicago platform adopted
In 1896 should be reaffirmed by the party in
ts approaching national convention.
ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
The gold act, unqualifiedly ratifying and
permanently establishing the gold standard
as the enduring basis of our credit, is the
crowning act of republican financial policy.
Instead of the contraction predicted by
Bryan and his followers, our circulation
tias expanded to $2,000,000,000, and our for-
eign trade has attained to the same figures.
We may justly boast that the administra-
tion of William McKinley has made this a
"$2,000,000,000 country." The laborer, so
long idle and seeking an employer, is now
employed at the highest wages ever known,
and capital is seeking labor.
DEMOCRATIC.
We indorse the national platform of the
democratic party adopted at Chicago, in its
national convention of 1896, and reaffirm
the principles therein enunciated.
CALIFORNIA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of the state of Cal-
ifornia, by its representatives, pledges it-
self anew to those principles of domestic
and foreign policy which, under a wise ad-
ministration of public affairs, have brought
us prosperity at home and honor abroad.
DEMOCRATIC.
No specific reference was made to the
financial question. The convention declared:
"We recognize the splendid ability and
unswerving integrity of William J. Bryan,
and we heartily indorse him for president
of the United States, and hereby instruct
the delegates elected by this convention to
use all honorable means to secure his nom-
ination."
COLORADO.
REPUBLICAN.
The present administration has dispelled
long business depression, restored the pro-
tection of American labor and industry,
brought to agriculture an improved condi-
tion, made our national currency larger in
volume, sure in value and lifted our na-
tional credit to the highest plane.
DEMOCRATIC.
We do hereby reaffirm our devotion to
and indorsement of the platform of prin-
ciples adopted by the democratic national
convention held in Chicago in 1896. We de-
mand an American financial system which
will require the immediate restoraton of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any other
nation, and we commend the course of the
Hon. William J'. Bryan in maintaining that
issue and keeping the same before the
American people.
CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
The representatives of the republican
party of the state of Connecticut, in con-
vention assembled, hereby reaffirm their
unwavering allegiance to the sound and
patriotic principles contained in the plat-
form upon which William McKinley was
elected president of the United States. We
call the attention of the people of Con
necticut to the fact that all important and
vital promises made in that platform in
relation to the gold standard, currency re-
form and the tariff have been strictly kept
and made a part of the law of the land by
a republican congress, in the face of bitter
and almost unanimous democratic opposi
tion, thereby again demonstrating to the
nation that the republican party, as the
party of the people, always fearlessly and
unremittingly protects and maintains Amer-
ican credit, American industries and the
wages of the American laborer. We pledge
the republican party to the strict mainte
nance of the single gold standard.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
(Regular.)
We unreservedly indorse the declarations
of the St. Louis national convention in re-
gard to sound money and the maintenance
of the gold standard, and we heartily ap-
prove of the recent action of the republican
majority in congress, which has given the
full force of law to our financial principles
and beliefs.
REPUBLICAN.
(Addicks wing.)
We heartily indorse and approve of the
recent legislation by congress by which the
financial affairs of the nation are placed on
a sound, safe, healthy and secure basis,
and in view of that legislation we con
gratulate ourselves that we, first in stat<
convention met on Nov. 4. A. D. 1897, de
dared as follows, viz.: "The union re pub
lican party believes in sound money (w<
54

nean a currency every dollar of which
hall be kept at par with every other dol-
ar) and a standard in harmony with that
f leading commercial nations, so that our
oreign and domestic trade may be healthy
nd unembarrassed, and our credit may be
inquestioned in the money markets of the
vorld; and we understand sound money,
mder present conditions, to mean a gold
tandard with all issues of silver and paper
;ept at a parity therewith by the pledged
aith of the government. We believe that
ill notes of the government which are pay-
ible on demand in gold should be called in,
ind that such notes should only be issued
vhen gold to the full amount of their face
ralue is deposited in the treasury of the
Jnited States, to secure the redemption of
hem when so issued." And that on Aug.
!0, A. D. 1898, again, in state convention
net, we also declared as follows, viz. :
'Believing that the money of the govern-
ment should be the best in the world and
hat its value should be unquestioned every-
where, we demand the maintenance by the
government of the present gold standard of
:he value of said money, that notes of the
government payable on demand should be
raly issued when gold to the amount of
the notes so issued is deposited with the
national treasury for the redemption there-
of, and that the gold so deposited shall be
preserved and kept in such treasury for the
sole purpose of redeeming such notes." We
again positively affirm those beliefs In re-
gard to the financial affairs of the govern-
ment.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are opposed to the single gold stand-
ard and earnestly favor the use of both gold
and silver upon equal terms as primary
money of redemption. We denounce recent
legislation intended more firmly to establish
monometallism and to give into the bands
of the national banks power to expand or
contract, at will, the supply of the circu-
lating medium which the people must use
as money in the transaction of business.
FLORIDA.
REPUBLICAN.
Resolved by the republicans of the state
of Florida, in convention assembled, That
we heartily indorse the progressive states-
manship of William McKmley in the admin-
istration of national affairs, -resulting in the
return of confidence and prosperity, also
solving the question of capital and labor,
by expanding our wide national field and
finding a market for the products of their
labor and advancing the interests of the
masses.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor the free, unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage of both silver and gold at
a ratio of 16 to 1. We oppose*the delegation
to national banks of power to issue money
based upon the credit of the United States.
We maintain that currency issued by the
United States government is quite as gooc
as national bank currency based on Unitec
States bonds, and directly saves to the peo-
ple the interest now paid to the nationa"
banks on government bonds.
GEORGIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We renew our allegiance to the doctrines
of the St. Louis platform. We continue to
condemn and resist the democratic policies
declared at Chicago and unwearyiugly reit-
erated since then by its candidate W. J.
3ryan. The organized democratic party of
the nation adheres to these policies of free
silver and free trade, but the republican ;
)arty is fulfilling the pledges it made at St.
liouis. We have enacted a conservative
protective tariff, so wisely devised that the
revenue is amply sufficient to pay the or- i
dinary expenses of the government in times
of peace, while capital is encouraged to
seek employment and the wages of labor are j
maintained at that high standard which ex- j
perience has proved to be necessary to the
welfare of our people. Our exports largely
exceed our imports. The gold of the world
comes steadily to our shores, and with a i
Continuance of republican policy and a re-
publican national administration the pros-
perous future of the nation is assured.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and renew our belief in the
allegiance to the principles of democracy as
contained and enumerated in the national
democratic platform of 1896, and we de-
nounce the republican legislation in con- '
gress whereby the single gold standard has
been fastened upon the people, for the time
being, we hope, and the control of the cur-
rency has been turned over to the national
banks, whereby the greatest and most op-
pressive of all trusts the money trust has
been created to feed upon the labor and in-
dustries of the people, and to add to the
wealth and power of a favored class, whose
greed is insatiable.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the principles of
the republican party as declared by tin
national convention held in St. Louis in 1896.
DEMOCRATIC.
We heartily indorse the platform adopted
by the democratic national party in conven-
tion assembled at Chicago in 1896 and pledgj
our earnest support to the principles therein
contained.
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
The republicans of Illinois in convention
assembled reaffirm the principles of the
platform adopted by the republican national
convention in 1896, and with pride call at-
tention to the fact that every pledge con-
tained in that platform has been faithfully
kept. The present happy and prosperous
condition of the American people is the
result of the wise administration of the
republican party and the enactment into
law of the more important principles of the
platform of 189*. Four years of democratic
rule had paralyzed the industries of the
country; rendered farming unremunerative;
impoverished labor; unsettled all monetary
values and practically bankrupted the
United States treasury. In a time of pro-
found peace a democratic administration
was forced to sell government bonds to pay
the necessary and current expenses of the
government. Under the wise, business-like
and patriotic administration of President
McKinley these conditions have all been
changed. All branches of industry remain
active and successful, agricultural interests
more prosperous and labor more generally
and continuously employed and better paid

than at any previous time. Monetary values
have been fixed and settled and in the
treasury of the United States instead of a
deficit, one of the marked features of a
democratic administration, we find a rev-
enue adequate to meet all the demands of
the government. We congratulate the peo-
of the country upon the enactment into
7 of the currency bill, which provides the
gold standard as the monetary unit of value.
Financial discussions no longer disturb the
business conditions of our people, and all
business transactions have been placed on
a basis that insures protection to capital
and encouragement to the employment of
labor.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the currency law passed by
the present congress, which proposes to per-
manently establish the gold standard in
this country in place of the bimetallic
standard of the constitution, and which
transfers to the national banks the entire
control of the paper currency, thus laying
foundation for a money trust which will
have power to control the prices of all prop-
erty and to stimulate or strangle business.
PEOPLE'S PARTT.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-
age of both gold and silver at the ratio of
16 to 1; we do so because these two com-
modities are quite a factor in the exports
of the United States and not because we
believe in the intrinsic value of money; but
we reaffirm the fact that it is a cardinal
point in the people's party faith that all
money is government made money and is
simply the fiat of the law.
INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
The employment of the people is the con-
tentment of the people. The greatest bene-
faction to men is the opportunity to labor.
Our best hope for the continued employment
of labor lies in the domination of the
world's markets by American agricultural
and mechanical products. Low interest
rates are potent factors in the extension of
American commerce and industry, at home
and abroad. The wise financial legislation
of the republican party has largely secured
these results. We therefore congratulate
the American people in that the republican
party has kept its beneficent pledge for tht<
maintenance of the gold standard and the
parity of all our forms of money by compre-
hensive, courageous legislation. The repub-
lican party has always stood and now
stands for money laws that benefit all our
people alike, without preference of one over
another, the borrower as well as the lender,
and such as equalize and lower the rates of
interest throughout the country. And to
this end we favor legislation authorizing
elasticity in our bank currency for the bene-
fit of our producers, the laborer, the farmer
and the manufacturer, and for the general
commerce of our people, under the guidance
and control of the secretary of the treasury.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and pledge our allegiance to
the principles of the Chicago platform of
1896, and commend its distinguished expo-
nent, William Jennings Bryan, to the people
of the United States as an able statesman.
a sincere patriot and an honest man. who
can safely be trusted to stand at all times
for the people and against their foes at
home and abroad.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
That the people's party of the state of
Indiana reaffirms its allegiance to the prin-
ciples set forth in the Omaha and St. Louis
platforms, and also the principles of the
state platforms of the people's party of the
state of Indiana; that we point with pride
to the fact that from the birth of the party
to the present hour our party platforms
have been practical, aggressive and consist-
ent with each other; that we favor the
initiative and referendum system of mak-
ing laws; that we favor the same treatment
by the government of gold and silver at the
United States mints at the present ratio
of 16 to 1; that we are in favor of the issue
by the general government, without the in-
tervention of banks, of such volume of full
legal-tender paper money as may be suffi-
cient to the needs of the people; that we
are opposed to banks of issue.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
We enter upon the political campaign of
1900 with the policies presented by the re-
publican party four years ago fully vindi-
cated and its promises all redeemed. In the
light of to-day it is apparent that the at-
tempt to debase the currency as a remedy
for the hard times then prevailing was a
monstrous blunder, which, if successful,
would have involved the country in lasting
humiliation and shame, and proved disas-
trous to all industrial interests. We insist
that no issue can be paramount to the main-
tenance of the public credit and the sta-
bility of the money for which all labor and
products are sold. So long as a political
party stands committed to the overthrow of
the existing monetary system we call upon
all conservative men to act with us in keep-
ing that party from power.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our unqualified allegiance to
the principles set forth in the democratic
national platform adopted at Chicago in
1896 and, recognizing William J. Bryan as
the greatest living exponent of those prin-
ciples, we demand his nomination as the
standard-bearer of democracy. We are op-
posed to the single gold standard and de-
nounce the action of congress in attempting
to establish it and in retiring the greenback
currency from circulation and in surrender-
ing the sovereign power of the government
over the money of the country and the pla-
cing of this power in the hands of banking
corporations.
PEOPLE'S PARTT.
We denounce the recent financial legisla-
tion known as the currency bill as an act to
create a merciless money trust which is to
act as a ways and means committee for the
commercial trusts which are now devouring
the industries of the country. It is further
in direct conflict with the pledges of the
republican platform of 1896. We regard
said legislation as the very acme of infamy
in all the class legislation of the past thirty
years. It is the eighth financial conspiracy
and will take its place with the other seven
already recorded. We denounce the retire-
ment of the greenbacks and demand that
the government shall exclusively control the
issue and volume of money.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
KANSAS.
" REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the American people in
that the republican party has kept its
pledge for the maintenance of the gold
standard and the parity of all our forms of
money and for comprehensive, courageous
legislation.
DEMOCRATIC.
We, the democrats of Kansas, In delegate
convention assembled, hi-reby renew our
allegiance to those immortal principles of
human rights enunciated by Jefferson, de-
feuded by Jackson and in their latest and
best form incorporated in the democratic
national platform of 1896. We announce
our unqualified approval of every principlj
embodied in that platform and here reiter-
ate the doctrine therein announced that the
American people should have a distinctively
American system of finance, which, like our
other governmental functions, should be for-
ever free from foreign entanglement, dom-
ination or influence; that we are opposed
to gold monometallism as a British policy,
un-American and anti-American, and that
we favor the immediate restoration of
bimetallism as it existed in our financial
system prior to the demonetization act of
1873.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We condemn the financial legislation en-
acted by the party in power in the present
congress which has given to the national
banks a complete monopoly of the currency
of the country; which, instead of providing
a sound and stable money, gives us merely
an extension of national-bank credits, which
can have no other result save undue infla-
tion, causing first speculation, then contrac-
tion, followed by disaster to the business
and industrial Interests of the country. And
we declare that the creating and issuing of
money is an exclusively governmental func-
tion which should never be delegated to in-
dividuals or corporations. W r e are, there-
fore, opposed to banks of issue and demand
that the paper money of the country shall
consist of full legal tender government
Issues only. We demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
KENTUCKY.
BEPTTBLICAN.
Through wise legislation the republican
party has rendered safe the monetary stand-
ard of this country and has always stood,
and now stands, for money laws which
benefit all of our people alike, borrower as
well as lender, and to this end we favor
carefully guarded and practical laws to
secure elasticity in our bank currency, so to
provide for a constant supply of enough cur-
rency for all borrowers for business uses, at
low and steady rates of interest, for the
good of every worker, producer, farmer,
manufacturer and business man and for the
general business of our people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We condemn and denounce the financial
legislation of the present republican con-
gress, fastening the single gold standard
upon the people and conferring upon the
national banks absolute power to fix the
volume of our money and substitute inter-
est-bearing national bank paper in place of
non-interest-bearing greenbacks.
LOUISIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We point with pride to the fact that every
promise made at St. Louis in 1896 has been
kept. The great currency question is rap-
idly marching toward a solution under the
superb guidance of republican statesman-
ship, and the vexatious tariff question is
now a dead issue, quieted in its mad ca-
prices by the genius of the representatives
of the republican party, and stilled in its
slumber by the masterful exercise of execu-
tive power wielded by the warrior-states-
man from Ohio, in whose judgment the
American people have a profound and abid-
ing faith.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the democratic party as set forth
in the* platform adopted by the national
convention at Chicago in 1896.
MAINE.
REPUBLICAN.
Believing that the best money in the
world is none too good for the American
people, we favor the
ld
maintenance of the
gold standard established by a republican
congress, under which labor reaps its just
reward and every dollar in circulation has
the largest possible purchasing power.
DEMOCRATIC.
No state democratic convention being held,
extracts from the platform of the 3d con-
gressional district convention are given:
"We indorse the movement of the historic
union of gold and silver as primary money
metals, and in general those principles of
governmental reform enunciated so clearly
in the last national platform of the party.
We are opposed to the retirement of the
greenback currency and to the national
banks having a monopoly of tbe paper
money of the country."
MARYLAND.
REPUBLICAN.
We are unalterably opposed to the debase-
ment of the present monetary standard or
tbe issues of additional government paper
money, which tends to accumulate at the
centers of exchange at the expense of the
interior and farming districts. We favor
such additional modification of the banking
laws as will still further promote the inter-
ests of the borrower of money as well as
the lender, and will provide a flexible and
sufficient medium of exchange for the needs
of all sections. We believe that the con-
stantly expanding business of the country
makes necessary an increased elasticity in
the currency system, and that further legis-
lation in this direction would give a stim-
ulus to the industries and interests of the
whole country, and especially to the south,
by affording the necessary credit facilities
for promoting the increased production and
export of its staple products.
DEMOCRATIC.
The financial question was only inciden-
tally referred to in the following paragraph :
"Believing that our most cherished insti-
tutions are in grave peril and that the very
existence of the constitutional republic is
at stake, we feel that in the presence of
these great dangers democrats everywhere

should lay aside their differences as to the
percentage ef duties on imports, the number
of grains of silver in the dollar, and upon
other issues of subordinate importance in
the present crisis, and unite in a resolute
and determined effort to stay the over-
whelming progress of radical errors in re-
gard to the nature of our government inaug-
urated by President McKinley and the re-
publican party."
MASSACHUSETTS.
BEPUBLICAN.
We especially congratulate the country
upon the rejection of free silver coinage
and the indorsement of the gold standard.
The promise made by the republican party
in its national platform of 1896 to "favor all
measures designed to maintain inviolable
the obligations of the United States" has
been kept by the passage of an act declar-
ing and confirming the gold standard and
giving the executive department authority
to maintain it under all conditions. This
measure, which has laid broad and deep the
foundations for a sound currency system, is
the best proof that the republican party
can be trusted and may be relied upon to
maintain the advance already made, and to
adopt such additional measures as may be
required to adapt our metallic and paper
currency to future needs. We believe that
monetary laws should consider the interests
of the borrower as well as the lender, should
tend to equalize the rates of interest in all
parts of the country, at all seasons of the
year, to the farmer, the manufacturer and
the exporter, and should make it possible
for our people to obtain and extend credit
on terms as favorable and at rates as low as
their foreign competitors. The republican
party, therefore, pledges itself to support
such amendments to the banking laws as
will provide a flexible and sufficient medium
of exchange, to the end that capital may
obtain fair returns, that American com-
merce may be enlarged, and that labor may
be assured of steady employment and of the
largest possible share in the fruits of our
expanding trade.
DEMOCRATIC.
To-day, as on every proper occasion since
the democratic national convention of 1896,
the democrats of Massachusetts reaffirm
and indorse in general and in particular
the principles of the platform adopted by
that convention. We pronounce that polit-
ical code one written not for a year or for
a single campaign, but for all time, being
made up, as it is, of the fundamental prin-
ciples of democracy upon the acceptance
and enforcement of which alone a free gov-
ernment of, by and for the people can be
maintained. New conditions may and do
compel additions to that platform, for con-
ditions change; and the Chicago platform,
like the declaration of independence, stands
as a part of the fundamental code of demo-
cratic government. Particularly do we re-
iterate our belief in the financial plank of
the Chicago platform, and renew our de-
mand for the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Heavy and unexpected discoveries of gold
and of new processes of extracting that
metal, together with the other supplies,
have resulted, since 1896, in an increase in
the volume of money estimated at $441.000,-
000 for the United States alone. The imme-
diate revival of prices and trade accompany-
ing this increase demonstrated the demo-
cratic contention that the evils from which
the nation suffered so gravely in the five
years prior to 1897 proceeded from a con-
tracted currency for which republican finan-
cial legislation had provided no form of
relief. But the benefits of a rise in the
price level under the gold standard are of
necessity unequally and unjustly distrib-
uted. The farmers of the west and south,
being compelled to sell their products in
the world's markets in competition with
silver-using countries, are condemned to low
prices for what they sell, while the rising
scale of prices at home, due partly to the
increased volume of money, and more to
the intervention of the trusts, results in the
exaction from them of higher prices for all
they have to buy. The prosperity of New
England rests upon the prosperity of her
customers; and Massachusetts, in pleading
the cause of the farmers of the west and
south, advances her own industrial inter-
ests, and no system which decreases the in-
come and increases the outgo of the farm-
ing community can aftora a safe foundation
for a sound commercial fabric. The agri-
cultural interests of the nation cannot be
left to the chance of failing crops and
famine in other lands, nor can national pros-
perity be founded upon the expectation of
disaster to foreign peoples. If there should
now be a sudden check in the production of
gold such as is indeed threatened by the
prospect of war in the Transvaal or if there
should be a new and heavy demand for tnat
metal such as any European crisis would at
once create, all the evils of a currency fam-
ine would at once reappear, and again the
nation would be left without a remedy. Only
by the establishment of bimetallism can a
stable and just equilibrium of prices be
effected^ We denounce unqualifiedly the
purpose of the republican party to surrender
to the banks the governmental function of
issuing paper money and controlling its vol-
ume. Such action would create a trust in
comparison with which all other monopolies
would be trivial. Already there exists
among the banking corporations a complete
unity of interests and a practical unity of
action, and by a perversion or an evasion
of the law many national banks in the
money centers are consolidating, creating
branches under other names and manifest-
ing a purpose to adopt that system of cen-
tralization and monopoly which has seized
upon the commercial interests of the coun-
try. The power over mercantile credits
which the great banking trust, already in
sight, possesses is in itself a menace to
commercial interests, and to add the power
to arbitrarily expand or contract the volume
of money would be to deliver over to the
banking interests the fortunes of all the
people. To-day our trust magnates are our
bankers. They hold the bank stock; they
sit on the boards of directors; they select
the officials, and they will apply to their
command over the supply of the nation's
money the same merciless and extortionate
methods which they use in turning to their
own profit their present monopolies.

unlimited coinage of silver by this nation
alone would bring about untold disasters.
DEMOCRATIC.
We still indorse the movement for the
historic union of gold and silver as primary
money metals, and In general those prin-
ciples of governmental reform enunciated
so clearly in the last national platform of
the party. We are opposed to the retire-
ment of the greenback currency and to the

MINNESOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party is proud of the fact
that it has written the gold standard into
the law of the land, and that its sound
financial policy has contributed largely to
the greatest prosperity the American people
have ever known, and has raised the credit
of the American government to the highest
point ever attained by any nation. The re-
publican party stands for money laws that
benefit all people alike, the borrower as well
as the lender, laws that tend to reduce and
equalize interest rates in all parts of the
country for the benefit of our producers, the
farmer, the laborer, the manufacturer and
the merchant. To this end we favcr a flex-
ible currency that will respond to the needs
of commerce and industry.
DEMOCRATIC.
We believe in the principle of bimetal-
lism, and we demand the reopening of the
mints of the United States to the unre-
stricted coinage of both silver and gold at
the existing legal ratio without charge; the
immediate increase in the volume of silver
coin and silver certificates to be substituted,
dollar for dollar, for the bank notes issued
by private corporations under the special
privileges granted by the law of March 14,
1900, and prior national banking laws, the
remaining portion of the bank notes to be
replaced with a paper currency issued by
the government itself, the volume thereof to
be so controlled, under rules laid down by
congress, as to maintain at all times a sta-
ble money market and a stable price level;
all forms of money and currency to be kept
on a parity, and all gold and silver coins
and certificates and government currency to
be a lawful tender for all debts, public and
private, except where otherwise specified in
existing contracts, it being unlawful thence-
forth to contract for the payment of any
special form of money.
MISSISSIPPI.
REPUBLICAN.
The financial question has been settled;
great increase has been added to the vol-
ume of the money of the United States, and
every dollar is as good as gold; the United
States has become a hive of laborers, well
clothed and well fed; the music of the din-
ner horn sounds over the fields of the farm-
er where big crops are growing for big
prices; mechanics and smiths of every class
fill the air night and day with the ring
of hammers, the song of the anvil and the
saw, and millions of spindles are rushing
cotton and woolen fiber into all kinds of
beautiful and useful cloth to gladden the
hearts of men, women and children. Such a
period in the history of this country has
never before been witnessed, and we com-
mend its continuation and perpetuation to
the people of the state of Mississippi, of the
south and of the United States.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and pledge our support and
allegiance to the national democratic plat-
form adopted at Chicago in 1896, and we in-
struct the delegates to be named by this
convention to the national democratic con-
vention to be held in Kansas City to cast
the vote of this state for that peerless lead-
er of democracy, that able, pure and incor-
ruptible statesman, the great tribune of the
people, the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
as the democratic candidate for president
of the United States. We denounce the re-
publican congress for adopting the currency
bill and placing this country upon a gold-
standard basis, regarding this as a crime no
less than the demonetization of silver in
1873.
MISSOURI.
REPUBLICAN.
The remedy for hard times suggested in
1896, to debase the currency, in the light of
our present conditions, would have involved
the country in lasting disgrace, and have
proved disastrous to its industrial interests, I
had that remedy been adopted. W T e insist
that no issue can be paramount to the main-
tenance of the public credit and the sta-
bility of the money for which all labor and
products are sold. So long as a political!
party stands committed to the overthrow of !
the existing monetary system we call on all
conservative men to act with us in keeping
that party from power. The steady employ-
ment of the people in honorable pursuits is
the contentment of the people. The great-
est benefaction to the man is the oppor-
tunity for remunerative labor. Our best
hope for the continued employment of labor
lies in the domination of the world's market
by American agricultural and mechanical
products. Low interest rates are potent
factors in the extension of American com-
merce and industry, at home and abroad.
The wise financial legislation of the repub-
lican party has promoted these results. We
therefore congratulate the American people
in that the republican party has kept its
beneficent pledge for the maintenance of the
gold standard; the standard of the commer-
cial world, and the parity of all our forms
of money, without contradiction, by compre-
hensive, courageous legislation. The repub-
lican party has always stood, and now
stands, for 'money laws that secure safety
and benefit to all our people alike, without
preference of one over another, and such as
tend to equalize and lower the rates of in-
terest throughout the country. And to this
end we favor wise legislation for the im-
provement of our currency, for the benefit
of our producers, the laborer, the farmer
and the manufacturer, and for the encour-
agement and promotion of the general com-
merce of our people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and indorse the democratic
national platform adopted at Chicago in
1896, and declare our continued fealty to the
utterances therein enunciated upon the free

PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We declare that since the republican party
demands that all paper money shall be re-

democratic party demands that all paper
money shall be redeemable in two kinds
of coin, the difference between the two
parties on this vital matter of redemption
of paper money is a difference of degree and
not of principle. And we demand a national
aper money, issued directly by the United

tender for all debts, public and private, and
that shall be redeemable in the products
and labor of the people and in no other way
whatsoever.

NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse the. legislation that has
strengthened our financial system and
firmly established the gold standard and
made the American dollars so safe and
secure that they are kept busy chasing one
another around the endless circle of busi-
ness, too good to go into hiding and too
patriotic to steal abroad. In answer to the
cry for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and the claim that there is not gold
enough as a basis upon which to do the
business of the country, the United States
treasury puts in evidence the $120,000,000 in
gold that has come to it within a year, and
the $413,000,000 in gold now held within its
vaults, and the unexampled prosperity and
measureless and limitless and countless
financial transactions thus sustained with-
out seeming effort.
DEMOCRATIC.
Instead of a system which would chain
our nation to the gold standard and compel
it to participate in all the disturbances
which come to European nations we demand
an American financial system, made by the
American people for themselves, to be se-
cured by the immediate restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and sil-
ver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1
without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation. The republican adminis-
tration has admitted the gold standard to be
unsatisfactory by appointing a commission
to solicit foreign aid in restoring the double
standard, and a republican congress, even
while trying to make the gold standard per-
manent, has confessed Judgment against the
standard by attempting to revive the delu-
sive hope of international bimetallism. In-
stead of the system favored by the repub-
lican party, under which national banks are
to be permitted to issue and control the
volume of paper money for their own profit,
we reiterate our demand for that financial
system which recognizes the government's
sovereign right to issue all money, whether
coin or paper, and we demand the retention
of the greenbacks as they now exist and
the retirement of national bank notes as
rapidly as greenbacks can be substituted for
them.
NEVADA.
REPUBLICAN.
No more utter overthrow ever swept a
great party into ignominy and confusion
than that which has overtaken the demo-
crats. In the year 1892 the people put them
in complete control of the legislative and
executive branches of the government for
the first time in a generation, and they
immediately put their policy into effect,
with the result that has followed free trade
and democratic incompetency every time
they have been tried. It brought on a crash
that shook the financial world to its founda-
tion stones, crushed rich and poor alike,
teggared the American farmer, completely
overthrew American industry, and made a
tramp of the American mechanic. England,
Prance and Germany even Spain were
running their shops day and night, while
those of America stood idle, or were oper-
ated at a loss. Mr. Bryan and his class said
all this ruin came from a democratic mis-
take, but he promised to bring in a new
kind of democracy, with free trade, too, but
with a patent system of finance which
would make every man rich, whether he
worked or not, and everybody happy by the
scratch of a pen. He pledged his word of
honor that his was the only way to restore
trade and bring back the good old times.
The issue was clearly made, and the result
is before us. The democrats can only es-
cape it by completely overthrowing all logic,
history, science and truth. Not a single
one of their own evil prophecies has been
realized no part of the union has responded
to their dismal hopes. In Cleveland's time
over 49 per cent of American laborers were
idle; now all are busy except 4 per cent, and
they have offers every day at advanced
wages. No class of citizens has been left
out in the magnificent and wonderful revival
of prosperity which has swept into sweet
forgetfulness all the misery, hunger and
despair of the previous four years. We can
see plainly now that if Bryan had been
elected it would have meant the same old
free-trade democracy loaded down with all
the disturbing financial nostrums, all the
fallacies of populism, all the corruption of
demagogism, all the hate of the anarchist,
with the traditional democratic bad luck
and incompetency.

NEW YORK.
REPUBLIC AN.
The republicans of New York, represented
in their state convention, congratulate their
fellow-countrymen at the beginning of an-
other national campaign that the pledges
on the faith of which McKinley and Hobart
were elected four years ago have been re-
deemed. There is no longer controversy as
to the value of any government obligation.
Gold as the national standard of value is
now established in law. Not even war, nor
the issues and responsibilities that came
with the conclusions of war, was permitted
to delay the financial legislation which the
people demanded when they elected the re-
publican ticket in 1896. On the instant
when a congress assembled which was re-
publican in both branches a bill embodying
the principles enunciated in the St. Louis
Elatform was introduced, and is now the
iw of the land. Public confidence that this
would be so, and the fact that, it is so,
taken in connection with the passage of
tariff laws which supplied to the govern-
ment the revenue it needed and to the coun-
try's industries a healthy and sufficient
protection, account for a prosperity which
has been national in its scope and which
gives to the McKinley administration a dis-
tinction no less significant of competency in
government than the success of the army
and navy. We indorse, therefore, the ad-
ministration of William McKinley. It has
been supremely successful. It found the
country after four years of democratic gov-
ernment paralyzed as to its industry, weak
in trade and commerce and impoverished
in its public treasury. Business conditions
were utterly unsettled, no less by the opera-
tion of a mischievous tariff than by the as-
saults of the democratic party upon the
public credit in their reckless financial bills
and in their threats to redeem in silver cer-
tain public securities. The democrats pro-
posed no other cure for the evil conditions
which they themselves had created than the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. The
republicans proposed a revision of the tariff
and the passage of an act making gold the
monetary unit of value. The splendid busi-
ness conditions which began with McKin-
ley's election, and which still obtain in
every state of the United States, vindicate
the country's judgment upon the issue cre-
ated in these opposing party platforms.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country, the money
of the constitution and of our fathers, each
to be maintained at a parity with the other
in purchasing debt-paying power, which has
been the steadfast policy of the democratic
party since the days of Jefferson, who de-
clared that "the monetary unit must stand
on both metals." We pledge our best
efforts to continue the work of monetary
reform.
NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the republican party as set forth
in the national platform of 1896. We in-
dorse without condition and with enthusi-
asm the administration of President Mc-
Kinley, and we instruct our delegates to
vote for his renomination. Every sound
that greets the ear and every sight that
meets the eye is an argument in favor of
the continuance of republican policies now
in successful operation throughout this
broad land. As if by magic, despair has
given place to joy, distress has been con-
verted into prosperity, and no section has
been more signally benefited than the south,
and no part of the south more benefited than
North Carolina.

We denounce the republican party for its
passage of the recent legislation by which
the gold standard has been fixed upon oar

NORTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
We affirm that the pledge given in 1896
that the gold standard should be given the
vitality of public law has been fulfilled by
the act of March 14, 1900, which maintains
us the parity of all our forms of money,
whether of paper, silver Or gold, and the
public credit has thereby been raised higher
than ever before under any administration
of any party and higher than that of any
other nation; and that this legislation, to-
gether with the enactment of a tariff law
based on sound republican principles, has
restored confidence both to the producer and
the consumer, and greatly increased the
volume of trade. We assert that the repub-
lican party now stands, as it always has
stood, for the money laws that benefit all
the people alike, the borrower as well as
the lender, the laborer as well as the em-
ployer, and such as equalize and lower the
rates of interest. We favor legislation that

Every pledge of his (McKinley's) admin-

has dispelJed long business depression, re-
stored the protection of American labor and
industry, reawakened universal confidence,
re-established a prosperity unparalleled, as-
sured to labor the steadiest employment
and the highest pay, opened new fields of
enterprise and new markets for trade, it
has brought to agriculture a better condi-
tion than for many years, fixed the gold
standard upon firm foundations of law,
made our national currency larger in volume
and surer in value, and lifted our national
credit to the highest plane any nation has
ever reached.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the currency law passed by
the present congress, which transfers to
the banks the entire control of the paper
currency, thus laying the foundation for a
money trust which will have power to con-
trol the prices of all property and to stim-
ulate or strangle business; on the other
hand, by requiring the government to re-
deem all forms of currency in gold, it con-
tinues and multiplies the evils of the "end-
less chain" and imposes upon the govern-
ment the entire burden of supplying gold
for export whenever demanded, and to ob-
tain which it must issue bonds when neces-
sary, thus necessitating not only a perpetual
debt, but a perpetually increasing debt.
In lien of a currency of bank promises to
)ay, to be expanded and contracted as the
nterest of banks alone may dictate, we de-
mand that the general government shall not
only coin the metals but shall issue and
regulate the volume of paper currency also
in the interest of all the people, and that
all currency intended to circulate as^ money
shall be legal tender and be maintained at
a parity of value, and be regulated with a
view to maintaining stable price levels and
safe business conditions.
OREGON.
REPUBLICAN.
We commend the republican congress for
its recent legislation making the gold stand-
ard a part of the statutory law of the land.
So long as either of our great political
parties advocates the free coinage of silver,
the maintenance of the gold standard is the
nost important political issue, affecting, as
it does, the value of the farmer's crop and
the laborer's wages. We call upon all who
believe in sound money to unite with the
republicans of Oregon in the important elec-
tions of this year, in order that a victory
may be won for the gold standard so de-
cisive as forever to preclude the debasement
of our currency by the free coinage of silver.

PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We declare that the right to make and
issue money is a sovereigp power to be
maintained by the people, and that all
money, whether metallic or paper, should
be issued and its volume controlled by the
government, and not by or through banking
corporations, and should be a full legal
tender for all debts, both public and pri-
vate.
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the whole country upon
the fact that the money question no longer
disturbs our business conditions. On ac-
count of the wise policy adopted by a repub-
lican president and a republican congress,
the gold standard is now accepted as the
monetary unit of value. This places our
business transactions on a stable basis and
will encourage capital to seek investment
and labor to find employment.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reiterate our faith in the beneficent
effects of bimetallism, gold and silver, the
money of the constitution, and believe its
recognition and adoption would tend to
steady and make permanent the prosperity
of our country and free us from the power
of the money trust to precipitate panics at
will and make money dear, labor poor and
all other things cheap.
RHODE ISLAND.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the people of the state
upon the unprecedented commercial, manu-
facturing and agricultural prosperity now
prevailing throughout the country under a
republican administration and it is a spe-
cial cause for congratulation to the people
of Rhode Island that the action of both
houses of a republican congress has laid at
rest all fear of an unsound and dangerous
currency, and has assured to all who labor
with hand or brain the payment possessing
the greatest value, while at the same time
maintaining the parity of the silver dollar
and preventing it from becoming discredited
and obsolete. The first and fundamental
condition of financial prosperity having been
thus assured by the republican party, that
party may be relied upon to take such
further steps in improving our currency
laws as shall be required to produce a
scientific, safe and complete national finan-
cial system adapted to the demands of a
country rapidly advancing to the leading

perity so auspiciously begun and grandly
kept up under the administration of Presi-
dent McKinley *nd upon the further fact
that they have the keenness and foresight
to see and know that Bryanism and democ-

only to bring a return of industrial depres-

and the humiliation of our republic in the
eyes of the progressive nations of the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the demo-

convention at Chicago in 1896, and w
adhere to the principles therein enunciated
without qualification or amendment, and de-
mand their reaffirmation by the convention
which will meet in Kansas City on July 4

that party to the trusts and national bank

We indorse and reaffirm the platform of
principles declared and adopted by the last
national convention of the democratic party
at Chicago in 1896.
TEXAS.
REPUBLICAN.
(Regular.)
Be it resolved that we, the republicans of
Texas, in state convention assembled, ex-
press our abiding faith and confidence in
the republican party of this nation; that we
hereby renew our pledges of fealty to our
party, and especially indorse the platform
adopted at St. Louis in 1896.
REPUBLICAN.
(McDowell faction.)
We most cordially indorse the financial
legislation now being carried through con-
gress by the republican party and hail it as
settling for many years to come the grave
financial questions which have so troubled
and vexed the commercial life of the coun-
try.
DEMOCRATIC.
Resolved, That the delegates elected by
the convention to the democratic national
convention to be held in Kansas City, Mo.,
July 4, 1900, be instructed to vote as a unit :
First, for the nomination of William J. Bry-
an as our candidate for president of the
United States; second, for the readoption of
the platform adopted by the democratic na-
tional convention at Chicago in 1896.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor gold and silver as the money of
the republic. We favor every enlightened
advantage to labor, to shorten its hours, to
enlarge its wage and to add to the material
prosperity and social and intellectual ad-
vancement of the wage-earner.
DEMOCRATIC.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-
age of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation. We
demand that the standard silver dollar shall
be a legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public and private, and we favor such
legislation as will prevent the demonetiza-
tion of any kind of legal tender money by
private contract. We are opposed to the
policy of surrendering to the holders of the
obligations of the United States the option
reserved by law to the government of re-
deeming such obligations in either silver or
gold coin. We are opposed to the issuing of
interest-bearing bonds of the United States
in time of peace and the trafficking therein
by the government. The federal constitu-
tion conferred upon congress the obligation
and duty of coining money and fixing its
value, and we protest against all attempts
to transfer these functions of government
to national banks. We demand that all
paper money made legal tender for public
and private debts shall be redeemable In

coin, and tnat all outstanding government
bonds, not in terms made payable in gold,
shall be payable in coin, gold or silver, at
the option of the government, to be exer-
cised by the secretary of the treasury in ac-
cordance with the law. We are unalterably
opposed to the senate and house bill in re-
lation to the currency, now pending in con-
gress. We oppose the house bill because,
while making gold the single standard of
the country, it also further degrades the
silver money of the people to a single re-
deemable promise to pay. We oppose both
bills because they are designed to place the
national banks in control of the finances of
the nation and to give the secretary of the
treasury the power to create and perpetuate
a national debt.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
The republicans of Vermont are to-day, as
they have always been in the past, uifalter-
ably opposed to every measure or policy cal-
culated to debase the currency or impair
the credit of this nation, and are, there-
fore, opposed, in the absence of interna-
tional agreement on that subject among the
leading nations of the world, to the free
coinage of silver, and are strongly and
heartily in favor of the maintenance of the
single gold standard. All silver and paper
currency should be maintained at a parity
with gold, and every dollar bearing the im-
print of the national government should
carry with it full faith and credit at its
face value and be of equal purchasing power
in all the markets of the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reiterate our faith in the larger ben-
efits to be derived from bimetallism as com-
pared with monometalism, demand the res-
toration of silver to its rightful and natural
place as a redemption currency and indorse
the platform of principles promulgated by
the democratic national convention of 1896
and known as the Chicago platform.
VIRGINIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse the financial bill recently en-
acted and hereby declare our continued ad-
herence to a sound and stable currency and
our unalterable opposition to fiat money in
whatever form it may be urged upon us.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hereby indorse the principles of de-
mocracy as enumerated in the national plat-
form" of the party adopted at Chicago in
WASHINGTON.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse the action of congress in hav-
ing enacted into law the existing gold
standard and oppose the free coinage of sil-
ver. We congratulate the country upon the
fact that the present republican congress
has removed the monetary question from
the realm of doubt and uncertainty into
that of settled law.
DEMOCRATIC.
W r e denounce the republican party for its
previous attitude on bimetallism and point
to the record of legislation in the last con-
gress as indisputable proof of the party's
former duplicity on the financial question.
WEST VIRGINIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the people that the re
publican party has kept, its beneficent
pledge for the maintenance of the gold
undard and the parity of all our forms of
money, whether of paper, silver or gold, by
wise and courageous legislation. The repub-
lican party stands as it has always stood
for such legislation as benefits all the people
alike, the borrower as well as the lender,
the laborer as well as the employer, and
such as equalize and lower the rates of in-
terest. We favor legislation that will pro-
mote elasticity in the currency for the Ben-
efit of the producer, the laborer, the farmer
and the manufacturer, and for the general
commerce of our people. We rejoice in the
defeat of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver in the ratio of 16 to 1, and we call
attention to the dire prophecies made by
Bryan and his followers in 1896, that the
adoption of the gold standard and the de-
feat of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver would bring ruin and disaster to the
people. These seers of calamity have proved
false prophets, and the exact reverse of
what they predicted has come to pass; in-
stead of distress the gold standard has
brought plenty; instead of ruin it has
brought prosperity and instead of contract-
ing the currency it has expanded it so that
we now have more money in circulation,
both in the aggregate and per capita, than
ever before in the history of our country.
DEMOCRATIC.
We condemn the law recently passed by
congress establishing the gold standard,
which transfers to the national banks the
control over the paper currency of the coun-
try, with power to extend or contract it,
not in the interest of the public, but as the
interests of those who issue it may dictate
a power which is one of the highest pre-
rogatives of the government and which the
people should never for an instant consent
should be exercised by banking corporations.
We denounce the "money trusts" created
by the said act as being dangerous to the
government, oppressive to the people, de-
structive of their prosperity and welfare
and as creating an oligarchy of wealth, the
influence of which is hostile to popular
government and liberty.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We hereby express our profound gratifica-
tion that the present congress of the United
States, conformably to those principles [of
the republican party], by formal legislative
enactment has established as a permanent
standard of value the gold coin of the
nation.
DEMOCRATIC.
We adhere to the principles of the Chi-
cago platform of 1896 and pledge ourselves
to abide by the platform to be adopted by
the national democratic convention of 1900.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of Wyoming con-
gratulates the country on the general pros-
perity throughout the nation which has
followed the triumph of the republican
party upon the financial issue of 1896. The
public credit has thereby been raised higher

than ever before under any administration
of any party and higher than that of any
other nation. The republican party has al-
ways stood and now stands for money laws
that benefit all our people alike, that con-
sider the interest of the borrower as well as
the lender, that tend to equalize the rate of
interest in all parts of the country at all
seasons of the year to the farmer, the stock-
man, the. merchant and the manufacturer,
and that make it possible for our people to
obtain and extend credit on terms as favor-
able and at rates as low as the foreign com-
petitors. The republican party of Wyoming,
therefore, pledges itself to support such
further legislation as will provide a flexibl
and sufficient medium of exchange to the
end that capital may continue to obtain fair
returns, that American commerce may bi>
enlarged and that labor may be assured of
steady employment and the largest possible
share in the fruits of our expanding trade.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hereby reaffirm and declare our alle-
giance to the principles of democracy s
enunciated in the Chicago platform of 1896.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN POLICY.
ALABAMA.
REPUBLICAN.
We commend congress and the president
for the very generous aid extended to the
people of Porto Rico by the act of congress
which provides them with a civil form of
government, relieves them of internal rev-
enue taxation, reduces the tariff duties 85
per cent and donates all money collected to
the people of that island to build up a civ-
ilization from the chaos caused by war and
flood.

ARKANSAS.
REP.UBLICAN.
We favor the expansion policy of the ad-
ministration. We favor the annexation of
the Philippines as the most beneficent thing
that could happen to the Philippines, and as
giving us command of the vast trade of the
orient not otherwise possible.
DEMOCRATIC.
We charge that inherent rights under our
constitution have been assailed by the presi-
dent of the United States by his denial of
self-government to the Filipinos and his re-
fusal to treat with them. We maintain
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed. We
therefore insist that the subjugation of any
people is a crime and contemptuous disloy-
alty to the distinctive principles of our
government. Liberty is a common heritage
to all men in all lands and we therefore
resolutely condemn the death-dealing pojicy
of the republican administration in the
Philippines. We are opposed to the annex-
ation by the United States of any country
by force, because we believe the right of
local self-government to be the basic prin-
ciple of this republic. We are opposed to
wars of conquest, and insist that the pledges
made the people of Cuba by congress be car-
ried out at the earliest practical moment,
and we demand that the same rights prom-
ised by congress to the people of Cuba be
accorded to the people of the Philippine
islands. And with a full appreciation of
what such things mean by our own sad ex-
perience at the hands of the republican
party, we denounce the carpet-bag govern-
ment foisted on the people of Porto Rico
and Cuba by the present republican admin-
istration.
CALIFORNIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are unalterably opposed to imperial-
Ism in any form, and we condemn the Porto
Rican tariff law recently enacted by the
present republican congress as a bold and
open violation of the nation's organic law
and a flagrant breach of good faith. We as-
sert that the constitution follows the flag,
and denounce the doctrine that an executive
or a congress, created and limited by the
constitution, can exercise lawful authority
beyond that constitution or in violation of
it. Believing that a nation cannot long en-
dure part republic and part empire, we
oppose wars of conquest and colonial pos-
session.
COLORADO.
REPUBLICAN.
_We commend the policy of our republican
national administration in the Philippines,
in Cuba and in the island of Porto Rico as
wise, patriotic and humane, and we repose
implicit confidence in the ability of the re-
publican party to solve every problem con-
cerning those islands with credit to itself
and with satisfaction to all loyal and patri-
otic Americans.
DEMOCRATIC.
The acquisition under democratic rule of
that magnificent domain extending from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean attests
that democracy has always favored contigu-
ous territorial expansion when it could
be accomplished legitimately, honorably and
in accordance with the genius and spirit of
our institutions. We protest against that
spirit of aggression manifested and encour-
aged by the republican leaders, which,
ignoring the sacred traditions of the repub-
lic and the solemn warnings of its founders
and solely for commercial advantages, seeks
expansion at the cannon's mouth and by
the maintenance of an immense standing
army, which is a constant menace to the
liberties of the poople and imposes upon
them for its support an enormous additional
burden of taxation. Especially do we de-
nounce as repugnant to every principle
upon which our government was founded,
and as an unwarranted usurpation of power,
that imperialistic policy originated and en-
forced by the republican national adminis-
tration of treating newly acquired territory
as colonies or conquered provinces and their
people as subject slaves.
CONNECTICUT.

Our soldiers and sailors have achieved

the greatest of nations; independence and
peace have been bestowed upon the op-
pressed and long-suffering people of Cuba,
and protection, liberty and the blessings of
civilization are being secured to the inhab-
itants of Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands under the wise, fearless and honest
guidance of the republican party. We rec-
ognize the fact that many difficult questions
confront the nation in the government and
control of Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands. We believe that those questions
can and will be answered to the complete
satisfaction of the inhabitants of these
islands and in strict conformity to the
terms of the treaty of Paris. W T e believe
that the glorious victories won by our brave
soldiers and sailors were won in the cause
of liberty, justice and peace. We believe
that the nation has honorably and rightfully
acquired absolute title to distant islands of
great strategic and commercial value. We
believe that it is the high and sacred duty
of the nation to secure to the people of
those islands the blessings of liberty, peace
and happiness. We believe that the full
and speedy performance of this duty will
meet with the enthusiastic and unqualified
approval of the people of the United States,
and we believe that the abandonment of the
Philippine islands to internal anarchy and
external attack, or to any other cowardly
and weak policy suggested by the demo-
cratic party, would entail untold suffering
upon a helpless and oppressed people and
bring world-wide dishonor if not disaster to
the United States.
DELAWARE.
KErUBLICAN.
The Philippine archipelago and the island
of Porto Rico having been ceded by Spain
under the provisions of the treaty of Paris,
we believe that all these islands have be-
come legal and rightful possessions of the
United States. We deem it to be the im-
perative duty of the nation to give them
the inestimable blessings of good govern-
ment, with the largest share of self-rule
that future conditions may seem to war-
rant, and to so regulate their commercial
relations with the rest of the country that
substantial justice may be rendered to all
concerned. We recognize the great wisdom
and courage displayed by the president of
the United States in dealing with these
grave questions and we unequivocally com-
mend and indorse his course in upholding
the honor of the flag and in safeguarding
the sovereign rights of the American people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We have witnessed with unfeigned alarm
the growth of a spirit of imperialism in the
administration of President McKinley. A
war undertaken in the name of humanity
has been turned into a greedy and bloody
use of power to crush and destroy the as-
pirations for liberty cherished by people
who suffered too long under the tyranny of
Spain. We believe in the principle of the
declaration of independence. Free our-
selves, we desire to encourage self-govern-
ment in every part of the world. We desire
no dependent and oppressed colonies to be
held by our soldiers and robbed by carpet-
baggers. Wherever our flag flies we desire
it to mean liberty and home-rule for the
people beneath its folds and maintain that
the constitution must follow the flag.
FLORIDA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce as utterly subversive of the
principles of liberty upon which republican
government must necessarily be based thv-
policies recently adopted by" the republican
party, whereby it is sought to maintain in
America a great standing army; to estab-
lish an imperial government over millions
of people thousands of miles from our
shores, who have never wronged us, and
have for centuries maintained a constant
warfare for liberty; and to govern as a con-
quered province of an empire the peaceful
people of the island of Porto Rico, denying
the protection of our constitution to those
who enthusiastically received our flag as an
emblem of republican government and of
constitutional liberty. We favor the prompt
carrying out of the pledges made to the
people of Cuba as to the benevolent and
temporary character of our occupation of
that island, and we favor the giving and
the faithful carrying out of a similar policy
to the people of the Philippine islands. We
believe that the principles upon which our
form of government exists require the adop-
tion of this policy. We maintain that all
the people over whom our flag flies are en-
titled to the protection of our constitution
without or in spite of any act of congress.
GEORGIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We have abiding confidence that the presi-
dent will conclude peace upon terms that
will satisfy the conscience, the judgment
and the high purpose of the American peo-
ple. We realize that when the necessities
of war compelled our nation to destroy
Spanish authority in the Antilles and in the
Philippines we assumed solemn duties and
obligations, alike to the people of the
islands we acquired and to the civilized
world. We cannot turn these islands back to
Spain. We cannot leave them unarmed for
defense and untried in statecraft to the
horrors of domestic strife or to partition
among European powers. We have assumed
the responsibilities of victory, and wherever
our flag has gone, there the liberty, the
humanity and the civilization which that
flag embodies and represents must remain
and abide forever. The republican party
has been the party of brave conservatism,
of wise progress and of triumphant faith in
the nationality of this people, and we know
that the president, statesmen and voters of
the republican party will meet these issues
of the future as bravely and triumphantly
as we have met the issues of the past.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hold that the constitution of the
United States was wisely ordained and es-
tablished for an intelligent, liberty-loving
and self-governing people, and cannot bt
successfully applied to a people of another
hemisphere, who, from social and geograph-
ical conditions, can never be assimilated
with ourselves or educated up to our stand-
ard of citizenship and who can never be
safely incorporated into an equal participa-
tion with ourselves in our free system of
government. We therefore hold that the
imperialistic policy of the present repub-
lican administration, which contemplates
schemes of conquest in accordance with
British theories and practices, is contrary
to the theory of our government, and sub-

versive to those great principles of civil
liberty which we have been taught to cher-
ish aud which are necessary to the preserva-
tion of our free institutions. We oppose
the maintenance of large standing armies,
necessary for the subjugation and continued
domination of distant peoples, and which is
a standing menace to the personal liberties
of our own people, impoverishes the people
with vast public expenditure, creates hordes
of officials to rule over people who should
be permitted to rule themselves, disregards
the principles of the declaration of inde-
pendence, and materially changes the na-
ture of our republican form of government.
The action of the republican congress in
denying to the Porto Kicuns the status of
citizens of the United States, in passing a
law imposing tariff taxes upon the products
of Porto Rico different from those imposed
in the United States, and in the establish-
ment of a government in that island, where-
by its people are denied the right to govern
their own local affairs and to select their
own local representatives, demands the con-
demnation of all people who love self-gov-
ernment, and is the demonstration of a
purpose of the republican party, if given an
additional lease of power, to convert this
republic into an empire. We favor all
legitimate and practical means for the ex-
pansion of our trade and the development of
foreign markets for our products, manufac-
turing and agricultural, but we deny that
the acquisition and domination of lands in
a distant hemisphere are necessary or con-
ducive to this end. On the contrary, the
present marvelous and rapid development
and growth of our commerce both in Europe
and in Asia, where we own no territory,
demonstrate that our trade with foreign
peoples will steadily and surely expand and
develop and increase in proportion as our
products excel in excellence and cheapness
similar products of other countries. And
our trade upon this secure basis can be best
promoted by the arts of peace and the
happy influences of friendly relations, rather
than through the harsh and hostile agencies
of war.

Through the skill and gallantry of our
sailors and the valor of our soldiers, the
war with. Spain has left us with a number
of dependencies that are now under the
sheltering care of the nation. Our flag once
raised over the islands gave to the inhabi-
tants therein our solemn promise that all
the civilizing influences and benefits of a
strong government of liberty-loving people
should be theirs. The republican party ac-
cepts the responsibility for their care and
control, and it will discharge this trust as
it has all others that in times past have
been placed in its hands for administration,
bearing in mind always the duty that it
owes both to the people who have thus been
brought within our protection and to our
own citizens in a proper adjustment of the
several relations they bear to the general
government.
ILLINOIS.
BEPUBLICAN.
The cry of the oppressed Cubans for a
larger liberty and a higher civilization than
had been accorded them under Spanish rule
called forth the sympathy of all the people
of the United States. In obedience to the
demands of humanity and in accordance
with the sentiment of the people of this
country, irrespective of political party, the
present republican administration put an
end to the evils of Spanish misrule in the
western hemisphere. The Spanish-American
war was declared in obedience to the uni-
versal demands of the p.-ople. It was con-
ducted under a republican administration,
and the splendid achievements of our sol-
diers and sailors in that war formed some
of the brightest pages in American history.
Cuba has been freed from Spanish misrule
and a stable government established there.
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands have
become the possessions of the United States
as the inevitable and unavoidable results of
that war. The brilliant achievements of
our army and navy in the Spanish-American
war, which brought to us these possessions,
have entailed upon the republican party
grave responsibilities, which, we are happy
to state, have been met in a true spirit of
patriotism, and legislation enacted respect-
ing them which, while it will improve the
social, political and material conditions of
the people and those islands, will not im-
pose additional burdens upon the people of
the United States. We fully indorse the ac-
tion of congress and the president in the
administration of the affairs in these islands
and all legislation respecting the same, and
we pledge our alliance to the nation's
policy relating to them as formulated and
carried out by the present administration.
In indorsing and approving the policy and
course of the administration and the legis-
lation of congress thus far relating to our
new possessions we express our confidence
in the ability of a republican administration
to deal with the complicated and important
questions involved in any legislation for
those islands which may arise hereafter.
PEMOCBATIC.
We invoke public condemnation of an ad-
ministrative policy which denies to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands the
principle of home rule and self-government
and seeks the subjugation of a free and en-
lightened people for the glory of an imperial
policy, revolting to our traditions and a
defiance to the principles of our federal con-
stitution. * * * The declaration of inde-
pendence, the flag and the constitution must
everywhere stand together as emblems of
human liberty and equal right for all, and
where one goes, all go. We therefore de-
nounce imperialism under any pretense as
necessarily leading to militarism and as
wholly foreign to our system of government
and declare that neither congress nor the
president can exercise any power whatever
not derived from the constitution. We
therefore denounce the Porto Rican tariff
bill as a palpable violation of the doctrines
of the fathers and of the fundamental prin-
ciples of our government, which is based on
equal rights to all. We believe, with Jef-
ferson, in peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations and entangling
alliances with none, and we regard with
apprehension the doctrine advocated by the
republican administration that this nation
should, in its dealings or diplomacy, show
partiality toward or enter into entangling
alliances with any European nations.

motives. The possession of the islands,
which came to our hands as a result of that
war, was a consequence of it not foreseen,
but which could not be avoided 'with honor.
We cannot escape the responsibility rest-
ing upon us. Our first duty is to establish
the authority of the United States against
armed resistance, then to replace military
by civil administration. The guiding prin-
ciple of our conduct in dealing with the
people of these islands should be to pro-
mote their highest welfare; and we pledge
the largest possible freedom of control in
their affairs, as their ability for self-gov-
ernment shall be developed, and to use all
proper means to advance their civilization
and enlightenment. We unhesitatingly in-
dorse and approve the policy and course of
the administration and the legislation by
congress in respect to our newly acquired
possessions, and express full confidence in
the wisdom, integrity and ability of the ad-
ministration, supported by a republican con-
gress, to deal wisely and justly with the
questions concerning the same as they may
arise.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are already far advanced in the policy
of arbitrary rule, which has caused an en-
croachment on the rights of the people at
home and on liberty abroad and a subver-
sion of popular government. It is the his-
tory of the human race that every nation
which has sought to extend its power by
destroying the liberty of others has, in the
end, destroyed the liberty of its own people.
No people can exist part free and part
slave, part citizen and part subject, part
republic and part empire. We submit the
corrupting influence of colonial dominion has
already brought disgrace upon the republic;
that usurped and dictatorial power has
already reached the danger line. The con-
stitution and the plighted faith of the re-
public have been violated in Porto Rican
legislation, for the purpose of asserting
power to rule without regard to law, duty
or right principle. Independence is with-
held from the Cubans in defiance of law and
national promises. Slavery is recognized
and protected in Sulu, and involuntary serv-
itude in Hawaii, in violation of the consti-
tution. We condemn the extravagances of
the present administration, the violation of
the civil service, the fraudulent army con-
tracts, the payment of double salaries to
military officers, the spoliation of the people
of Cuba, and the favor and protection shown
partisans, speculators and corrupt officials
in their dealings with the government. We
demand an honest and economical adminis-
tration of national affairs, the repeal of the
stamp tax and such constitutional amend-
ments as will enable congress to levy a
graduated income tax and provide for the
election of United States senators by a
direct vote of the people. We are opposed
to a large standing army. Military rule
should find no place under a republic, and
we condemn it, whether used to administer
government in Cuba or to crush liberty in
the Philippines. Domestic order is best
conserved by the civil authorities, and in
time of war the safety and honor of the re-
public can be intrusted to its volunteers.
IOWA.
REPFBLICAN.
We favor the extension of sflf-povernmcnt
to all the people that have lately come un-
der the protection of this country as rapidly
as they demonstrate their capacity to exer-
cise it; we hold our authority over them to
be a solemn trust, to be exercised with an
eye single to their instruction, development
and prosperity.
DEMOCRATIC.
We deplore the adoption of the recent
Porto Rican measure, which the people and
the press of all parties have branded as a
violation of American pledges and of the
constitution and as a stain upon American
honor, and we heartily commend the action
of the house of representatives of the
XXVIIIth general assembly of the state of
Iowa in adopting by unanimous vote a reso-
lution opposing the Porto Rican tariff. We
condemn the imperialistic policy of this ad-
ministration as fraught with danger to the
best interests of our country and destructive
of the principles of liberty guaranteed by
the constitution, and we condemn its course
toward the Philippine islands as un-Amer-
ican and contrary to the principles that our
fathers maintained against the tyranny 'of
Great Britain during the war of the revolu-
tion.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The despotic, wholly unwarranted and un-
necessary course of the president in the
Philippine islands in refusing to accord to
the Filipinos the same guaranty of self-gov-
ernment which congress promised to the
Cubans calls for our unqualified condemna-
tion. The base betrayal of the sacred prom-
ises made to the people of Porto Rico when
our armies landed upon that island is upon
a parity with the disregard of the rights of
Filipino allies, who, at the instance of fed-
eral officials, aided our forces in crushing
Spanish pow T er in the orient. In both in-
stances the action of the administration
and of the congress which upheld it is most
reprehensible, un-American, unconstitution-
al and in conflict with all the sacred tradi-
tions of our republic. In short, it is simply
infamous and beyond further endurance on
the part of the people. We are unalterably
opposed to imperialism and militarism in
whatever form it may be presented wheth-
er in the guise of a large standing army,
Porto Rican tariffs or wars of conquest.

on the false cry of imperialism. We con-
demn this unpatriotic policy as being re-
sponsible for the continued war in the
Philippines with its cost of precious lives
and treasure. We denounce the democratic
party for its hypocrisy in pretending to
tender regard for the governmental welfare
of the inhabitants of Porto Rico and the
Philippines, while at the same time delib-
erately disfranchising thousands of Ameri-
can citizens in southern states because of
color, and we urge our representatives in
congress to use their best efforts to bring
about such legislation as will remedy these
unjust conditions.

no country can endure an empire abroad
and a republic at home. We adhere to
the spirit of the Monroe doctrine and the
warnings of the fathers against entangling
foreign alliances and world politics. We in-

lions of Malays without corrupting our cit-
zenship, nor can we hold them subjects
without destroying our form of government.
We are against militarism, with its costly

military service and conscription and the
unfailing instrument in the overthrow of
every republic in history.

We reaffirm the immortal principles con-
tained in the declaration of independence
and call attention to the repudiation of
them in the speeches of the republican lead-
ers in congress in discussion of the Philip-
pine and Porto Rico questions. We see in
thfe establishment by the republican admin-
istration of a colonial system of govern-
ment over unconsenting people and the de-
nial to those people of the guaranty of
human rights contained in the federal con-
stitution and the abandonment of repub-
licanism for imperialism an abrogation of
the grandest charter of human rights ever
given to mankind. We declare that the flag
and the constitution are and should be of
right inseparable, and, therefore, wherever
the flag goes the guaranties of the constitu-
tion should go with it, and we denounce as
traitors to the republic the republican mem-
bers of the house and senate and the presi-
dent of the United States for separating the
flag from those great principles of which it
has been the emblem.
KENTUCKY.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the foreign policy of the
present national administration as anti-
American and anti-republican. It seeks to
establish a system of imperial government
for our recently acquired territory hitherto
unknown in our country's history, and sub-
versive of the principles of republican gov-
ernment. It imposes a tariff upon the peo-
ple of Porto Rico, while giving free trade to
the British island of Jamaica. It has es-
tablished a system of corruption and spolia-
tion in the island of Cuba more disgraceful
and onerous than was ever endured under
Spanish administration. It is maintaining
an army of 60,000 in the Philippine islands,
and after nearly two years of warfare has
made but little if any material progress to-
ward the establishment of peace or order.
It has increased the standing army from
25,000 to 60,000 men, and proposes by legisla-
tion now pending in congress, approved by
the present republican administration, to
still further increase the army to more than
100,000 men.
LOUISIANA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We condemn the policy of the annexation
of the Philippine islands as adopted by the
republican party as a broach of national
honor and as contrary to the traditions and
teachings of the founders of this republic,
and we believe that as soon as a stable form
of government can be established on said
islands they should be given their indop:>n-
dence on such terms as may be mutually
agreed. We believe the pledge made by con-
gress before the war with Spain, that Cuba
should be free, should be speedily carried
out, and that the government of the island
be handed over to her citizens, so that we
may not have a further exhibition of the
criminal peculation, to the disgrace and dis-
honor of American manhood. * * * We
believe that a nation cannot long endure
half republic and half empire, and oppose
wars of conquest and the acquisition of
colonial possessions. We oppose militarism.
It imposes upon the people an unnecessary
burden, and is a constant menace to their
liberties. A small standing army and a well-
equipped state militia are sufficient in time
of peace; in time of war the citizen soldier
should be the republic's defense.

While any part of the inhabitants of our
outlying islands are resisting the authority
of the United States it is the duty of t'.e

liberty and the pursuit of happiness." N
people have ever come under its protection
save to their betterment, and congress may
be safely depended upon to secure to all
who accept its sovereignty the blessings of
a just government and a progressive civili

ciple in dealing with the people of these
islands has been and should ever be to pro-
mote their highest welfare; to give them
the largest possible liberty in their affairs;
to develop their capacity for local self-gov-
ernment and by every means to advance
their civilization and their enlightenment.
No greater trust than the uplifting of these
people, long degraded by Spanish tyranny,
has ever been imposed upon the United
States. The republican party believes it to
be the high and solemn duty of the nation
to execute this trust with patience, wisdom
and courage. It is proceeding to suppress
disorder and violence in the Philippines, to
restore peace, to dispel ignorance, to pro-
mote industry, to teach the people local
self-government, to secure to them civil and
religious liberty, and by these means to sub-
stitute order and civilization for anarchy
and barbarism. The instincts of the Amer-
ican people may be trusted not to oppress
or misgovern the people of these islands.
True liberty, civilization and trade in this
new expansion will again as always hereto-
fore follow the American flag.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare that "all governments insti-
tuted among men derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" that
any government not based upon the consent
of the governed is tyranny. We hold that
the constitution follows the flag and de-
nounce the doctrine that congress or the
executive can exercise lawful authority in
violation of the constitution. We assert
that no nation can long endure half republic
and half empire. Imperialism in any sec-
tion of our domain will lead quickly and in-
evitably to despotism at home. We are un-
alterably opposed to a large standing army
in a time of peace. * * * We declare our
firm belief that the safety and true glory of
our country and the stability of our very
institutions depend upon a strict and rigid
adherence to the principles and practices of
the fathers of the republic. Colonial expan-
sion and military occupation and control of
remote islands of the sea under the orders
of the president, as commander-iu-chief of
the army and navy, have no place in our
constitutional system of government. The
democratic party has always favored terri-
torial expansion when the territory so ac-
quired can be erected into states of the
union and whose people can become Amer-
ican citizens, but we denounce the forcible
annexation of foreign territory, except as
coaling or naval stations, with no purpose
of forming it into a state or states of the
union or admitting its inhabitants to the
protection of the constitution and laws. We
are in favor of extending the republic's in-
fluence among the nations, but we believe
that that influence should be extended, not
by force and violence, but, as heretofore,
through the persuasive power of a high and
honorable example. We cling to the car-
dinal doctrine that the constitution is the
supreme law of the land, and that no law
passed by congress for the government of
colonies, acquired by purchase, voluntary
annexation or conquest by arms, is of any
validity or force whatsoever, unless warrant
for it can be found in the letter and spirit
of the constitution. We denounce, there-
force, the recent Porto Rico act as a palpa-
ble and dangerous usurpation of power,
passvd in wanton and partisan disregard of
the "plain duty" of congress, and approved
by President McKinley in open and painful
violation of his public and oflicial declara-
tion of our duty and obligation to our fel-
low-citizens of Porto Rico and to the whole
American union.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
By the treaty of Paris a number of islands
formerly held by Spain have come under
the dominion of the United States, and by
the terms of the treaty the duty of provid-
ing for their government and of determining
the civil rights and political status of the
inhabitants has devolved upon the congress
of the United States. As a result of these
acquisitions, races of people have come un-
der the protection of the American flag who
have been so long degraded by tyranny as
to have very inadequate conceptions of the
true spirit of liberty and of the responsibili-
ties of self-government, and who have been
so impoverished and weakened by the ex-
ploitations of their oppressors as to be un-
able to defend themselves, unaided, from
the greed of foreign conquest. No greater
trust than the uplifting and educating of
these defenseless people has been imposed
upon the United States. The republican
party believes it to be the high and solemn
duty of the nation to accept and execute
this trust, with all the responsibilities it
involves, by retaining the islands and by
providing for their adequate government
upon the principles of liberty and humanity.
It believes that to abandon them to local
anarchy or to the lust of the invader would
be cowardly and dishonorable and a be-
trayal of its trust impossible to be con-
templated by a great, free and enlightened
nation. Not the material interests alone
of the nation whose trade and commerce are
now competing for the markets of the
world, but the highest dictates of duty re-
quire us to take the people of these islands
under our protection, to suppress disorder
and violence, to restore peace, to dispel the
darkness of ignorance, to promote industry,
to teach them the duties and responsibilities
of local self-government, to secure to them
civil and religious liberty, and by these
means to establish order and civilization in
place of anarchy and barbarism. The same
policy which governed our fathers in dealing
with the acquisitions of territory made in
their time should be pursued with respect
to these new possessions. The instincts of
the American people, nurtured in liberty
and tenacious of its principles, may be
trusted not to oppress or misgovern the peo-
ple of these islands, or to exploit them for
the benefit of the United States. Not trade
alone, but liberty and civilization as well,
have always followed the American flag.
DEMOCRATIC.
To the war with Spain a war rightly
waged in the cause of humanity and which
was forced upon an unwilling republican
administration by the insistence of demo-
crats in house and senate there has suc-
ceeded a war of criminal aggression in the
Philippines. We hold that this war is wan-
ton and needless, for, had the same promise
of freedom been made to the people of those
islands that the democrats secured for the
people of Cuba, no revolt against the
American authority would have occurred; it
is in violation of the principles of American
constitutional liberty, not only because it
is prosecuted by the administration without
the congressional action which the consti-

tution prescribes, but because it is a denial
of that right of self-government which from
the day our forefathers faced the British at
Concord bridge has been a cardinal precept
of American political philosophy, until now
William McKinley, with the applause and
overt sympathy of the British government,
had discarded it; it is a wasteful war in
all its material aspects, since by the incom-
petence and corruption which have attended
its prosecution it has cost the nation heavily
in blood and treasures, the very flower of
our youth being sent to death under an in-
competent general, while the notorious and
scandalous misappropriation of moneys has
resulted in an enormous deficit in the fed-
eral treasury, despite the collection of bur-
densome and ill-adjusted war taxes. We
demand that to the Filipinos, as to the
Cubans, shall be said to-day that they are,
and of right ought to be, free and independ-
ent, and we hold that such a declar ition,
coupled with the expression of the purpose
of the United States to protect the islands
from the assaults of any foreign power,
would speedily restore order, purge our na-
tional honor of the stain put upon it by in-
justice and bad faith, and advance Amer-
ican trade in the far east by giving our
merchants a market among people grateful
for the gift of independence. The extension
of American trade in all directions is an end
to be sought by all patriotic Americans, and
we demand that the settlement of the Phil-
ippine problem shall be attended by every
possible expedient for fostering and extend-
ing the commerce of the United States with
the islands, and for preventing their ac-
quisition by any foreign nation. The evils
which result from the prosecution of this
Philippine war are not confined to, nor are
they greatest in, the island of Luzon. They
react upon our own people and particularly
upon the working classes. Back of the
gaudy trappings of imperialism lurks the
less spectacular but more terrifying form
of militarism. Against a great standing
army the democracy, both of state and na-
tion, has resolutely set its face, but in the
reiterated demands for more and more
troops to subdue the Tagalos may be de-
tected the purpose to have ultimately more
soldiers to employ at borne. Already all
free peoples of the world gaze in amazement
at the facility with which monopolistic cor-
porations in the United States are able to
secure the aid of armed forces, both state
and federal, to overawe their workingmen
in time of labor dissensions. To-day a
whole district in the state of Idaho is under
martial law, men are and have been for
months confined without shadow of a trial
and without other accuser than a command-
ing general who doos the bidding of an em-
ploying corporation. The same spirit which
has sent our white soldiers to shoot down
black men in the Philippines who are strug-
gling for political independence^ has found
its manifestation nearer home by sending
black soldiers to the Coeur d'Alene district
to shoot down white miners struggling for
a wider measure of industrial liberty. Mili-
tarism grows with every triumph, and the
arms which we permit to be employed to
strike down the rising aspiration of an
Asiatic people for liberty will in time, un-
less roughly checked, be used to abridge our
own rights. Imperialism is not a foreign
policy, and they who strive to so prove it
are ignorant or sinister in purpose. The
dangers of imperialism are domestic; they
menace every man who holds his liberties
dear. In imperialism and militarism the
great monopolistic corporations whose
growth astounds and alarms the people
discern twin agencies for their defense, and
it is of vital importance to all that by the
application of immediate and effective
checks to further progress of these hateful
policies the trusts and monopolies shall be
deprived of a further addition to their
already menacing power.

United States in the attitude of having tne
most despotic and tyrannical colonial policy

justice and humanity to the people of the
islands that came under our control because
of that war. We declare that never before
in the history of our nation has the flag of
our country and the rights which it guar-
antees to our citizens been respected and
recognized throughout the world as under
the present administration.
DEMOCRATIC.
We believe that the principles of the dec-
laration of independence lie at the founda-

history progresses, instead of endeavoring
to curtail the operation and meaning of that
great charter of human liberties, it should
be the constant ambition of the government
and the people to approximate nearer and
nearer to a complete realization of that high
ideal. The immortal truth that govern-
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed is as true to-day
as when enunciated by the fathers of tht>
republic, and we here and now repledge our-
selves to the time-honored doctrine of a
government "for and by the people." We
deprecate the present tendency of the repub-

the declaration of independence.

We enter our solemn protest against that
imperialism of the McKinley administration
which governs and taxes as an alien country
the people of Porto Rico and proposes to
govern conquered countries without their
consent. We regard this as but one form of

such as the surrender of the functions of
coining and issuing money by the federal
government to private banks, as a policy
which is unconstitutional, undemocratic,
unrepublican and despotic. .

We have waged an expensive war both
upon land and upon sea, we have become
one of the greatest naval powers of the

unexcelled in the record of achievement
since the world began; we have enlarged
the borders of the United States till they
almost equal the circuit of the sun; the
islands of the sea have become our posses-
sions and their people shall have the benefit
of our laws, they shall be trained in our
factories and farms; they shall be educated
in our schools; they shall be taught in our
churches the doctrines of the cross; their
burdens shall be lightened, their hearts
shall be gladdened, their homes shall be
brightened, their children shall be dedicated
to a wider, purer and deeper civilization;
our hands and our heads shall help them to
labor and to think. We spurn the charge
that it is our purpose to torment or to tease
the battle-wrecked and storm-swept Porto
Ricans and we declare the truth to be that
the recent legislation in regard to the peo-
ple of that island is the most humane, most
merciful, most charitable piece of legisla-
tion ever enacted toward any people, not
only by the government of the United
States, but by any government the world
ever knew. We take not a dollar from that
people at either end of the line, but give it
all to them to rebuild their wasted homes,
and those who are now, for political pur-
poses, crying "the poor Porto Ricans" will
soon discover that no one is being alarmed

representatives of a party some of whom
would run the risk of sinking the ship of

retention of the Philippine islands by the
United States government. We oppose the

We are opposed to militarism, imposing as

Porto Rico in assuming ownership over it
by the right of treaty and yet excluding its
people from the protection of our national
constitution. We insist that the American
government at the earliest possible moment
restore the government of Cuba to the Cu-

While we are unalterably opposed to im-

all the legitimate results of honorable war-
fare and to assume the burdens of govern-
ing and holding acquired territory. We are
in favor of increasing our navy to such
strength and power as will make us secure
from foreign aggression, and the main-
tenance of such an army as may be neces-
sary to quell insurrection, establish peace
and maintain good order in our islands in
the seas and to protect the flag from insult
at home or abroad. But we are opposed to
a large standing army in time of peace, re-
lying on the national ardor of the people to
meet any emergency with the volunteer sol-
diery such as has for more than a hundred
years challenged the admiration of the
world. For the nation's defense, for the
strengthening of the navy, for the enlarge-
ment of our foreign markets, for the em-
ployment of Amercan workingmen in the
mines, forests, mills, factories and ship-
yards and for the enhancement of the value
of farm products we favor such appropriate
legislation as shall make the seas give evi-
dence that American built and American
owned and American manned ships are
carrying American foreign commerce to the
four corners of the earth. We applaud the
action of the administration in securing to
American merchantmen free access to trade
with the Chinese empire, through the ports
and harbors now held by foreign powers, as
one of the greatest achievements of diplo-
macy.
DEMOCRATIC.
In its platforfn of 1860 the republican
party declared that the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the declaration of
independence and embodied in the federal
constitution, viz., that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed with inalien-
able rights; that governments are instituted
to secure their rights and that governments
derive their just powers from the consent of
the governed, is essential to the preserva-
tion of our republican institutions; but the
republican party, under its present leader-
ship, is endangering the preservation of re-
publican institutions by placing the dollar
above the man in the construction of govern-
ment and of violating the principles that it
once declared to be essential. We condemn
the Porto Rican tariff bill, recently passed
by a republican house of representatives, as
a bold and open violation of the nation's
organic law and a flagrant breach of good
faith. We assert that the constitution fol-
lows the flag and denounce the doctrine that
an executive or a congress, created and
limited by the constitution, can exercise
lawful authority beyond that constitution or
in violation of it. Believing that a nation
cannot long endure half republic and half
empire, we oppose wars of conquest and co-
lonial possessions. The Filipinos cannot be
citizens without endangering our civiliza-
tion; they cannot be subjects without en-
dangering our form of government, and as
we are not willing to surrender our civiliza-
tion or to convert a republic into an empire,
we favor an immediate declaration of the
nation's purpose to give to the Filipinos,
first, a stable form of government; second,
independence, and, third, protection from
outside interference, as it has for nearly a
century given protection to the republics of
Central and South America. We favor the
expansion of trade by every legitimate and
peaceful means, but we are opposed to pur-
chasing trade at the cannon's mouth with
human blood; neither do we believe that
trade secured and held by force is worth the
price that must be paid for it. We are in
favor of extending the nation's influence,
but we believe that that influence should be
extended, not by force and violence, but
through the persuasive power of a high and
honorable example. We oppose militarism.
It imposes upon the people an unnecessary
burden and is a constant menace. A small
standing army and a well-equipped state
militia are sufficient in time of peace; in
time of the war the citizen soldier should be
a republic's defense. We believe, with Jef-
ferson, in peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations and entangling
alliances with none, and we regard with ap-
prehension the doctrine advocated in some
quarters that this nation should in its deal-
ings or diplomacy show partiality toward
any of the European nations.

as great and dangerous as that sought to be
imposed upon the American colonists by
George III. We denounce militarism as
dangerous to a republican form of govern-

erning people is better subserved by a cit-
izen soldier than by a standing army, as

The president's services to humanity in

Cuba, when he skillfully delayed the decla-
ration of war with Spain until our army and
navy could be made ready, when he directed
the campaign which gave us the Philippines
and spread the mild rule of the stars and

ity. We are for the republic and against
the empire. The truths set forth in the
declaration of independence are as self-evi-
dent to-day as when they were first written
by Thomas Jefferson. With him, we believe
that "governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed." We be-
lieve that taxation without representation
is tyranny. Judging by these standards we
denounce the conduct of the republican
party in enforcing an unconstitutional tariff
upon the people of Porto Rico. We believe
it to be the duty of this government to give
assurances of its high purpose to bestow the
inestimable rights of free government upon
the Philippine islands. When a stable gov-
ernment is established at Manila which in
our judgment is worthy of recognition we
should grant them that independence for
which they fought and conquered Spain.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REPUBLICAN.
We glory in the triumphs of the Spanish
war, both those on land and those on sea.
We are proud of the splendid records of our
naval and military heroes. We heartuy
support the administration in the annexa-
tion of Hawaii and in the acquisition of
Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The
insurrection in the Philippines was a rebel-
lion against the lawful authority of the
United States, and we assert the duty of
the president to subdue it. We condemn
any encouragement given by American cit-
izens to those bearing arms against our
country. We intrust the future government
of our new possessions to congress and the
president, believing that they may lawfully
control and govern them as they deem best,
and feeling assured that they will give the
islands every measure of local self-govern-
ment for whichHhey may show themselves
fitted.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for in-
flicting upon the nation under false pre-
tenses a policy of colonial conquest, with its
attendant evils of imperialism and militar-
ism, at a sacrifice of the basic principles of
the declaration of independence and in defi-
ance of the federal constitution. We be-
lieve in free trade and every other constitu-
tional guaranty for Porto Rico and independ-
ence for Cuba and the Philippine islands
as soon as they are capable of self-govern-
ment. We denounce the administration for
fastening upon the American republic the
guilt of "criminal aggression" in the Philip-
pines and neglect of "plain duty" to Porto
Hico by depriving her citizens of the right
of self-government, by erecting a customs
tariff between that island and the states,
in utter disregard of distinct pledges sol-
emnly given and of their constitutional
rights.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
Republican party government has shown
itself to be equally effective and intelligent
in war as in peace. The president was for-
ward in military preparation to be ready
for the war. and at the same time earnest
in diplomatic concession to avoid it. The
immediate and continuous triumph of
American arms and the auick termination
of hostilities, through the suit of Spain for
peace, were a tribute as well to the fore-
po
de
handed work of the executive departments
of the government as to the valor of our
soldiers and sailors. New issues resulting
from the war arise in this campaign. In
fixing the conditions of peace the govern-
ment was compelled to determine the status
of Spain's conquered colonial possessions.
It was impossible to destroy sovereignty
without creating other sovereignty to take
its place, and in none of the Spanish col-
onies except Cuba did the elements and con-
ditions of citizenship exist out of which it
was to be hoped that popular sovereignty
could maintain itself. It would have been
the coward's part to remove Spanish au-
thority without ourselves assuming respon-
sibility for the preservation of public order
and the fulfilment of international obliga-
tions. Interest and duty joined to compel
our government's course, and a policy has
been pursued upon which the republican
party confidently appeals to the patriotic
judgment of the American people. It is a
licy characteristically American. The in-
peudence of Cuba, pledged to Cuba ajid
proclaimed to the world in the declaration
of war, has been secured and advanced by
every public act. The American military
force in Cuba has been reduced. Local gov-
ernment has been established, and steps are
now being taken for popular elections in
Cuba to erect there a free government of
the Cuban people preparatory to the com-
plete withdrawal of American authority.
In Porto Rico, which has become for all
time American territory, civil government
and liberal laws have been provided. The
insurrection in the Philippine islands has
been overcome. Organized rebellion no
longer exists, and the establishment of
American authority in all the islands is
proceeding to the contentment of their in-
habitants. And throughout our new colo-
nial dominion the guiding principle of the
government in all its acts has been to ren-
der life and property secure, to preserve
individual liberty and freedom of thought
and action, and to prepare the way for a
local government, administered through
local agencies, in which strength and sta-
bility should be guaranteed in the popular
respect for law and order.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are opposed to that foreign policy of
the present national administration com-
monly known as "imperialism," which con-
templates schemes of conquest and the es-
tablishment of colonial governments in
accordance with British theories and prac-
tices; demands large standing armies for
purposes of subjugation; impoverishes the
people with vast public expenditures; cre-
ates hordes of officials to rule over people
who should be permitted to rule themselves;
disregards the principles of the declaration
of independence, and materially changes
the nature of our republican form of gov-
ernment. We earnestly protest against the
Ayrongs, the usurpations and suicidal fol-
lies involved in such an un-American policy.
There is no place for subject colonies under
the American flag. The constitution does
not contemplate the establishment of colo-
nial systems. We demand that our solemn
ante-war pledges, made by congress to Cuba
and to the world, should be speedily fulfilled
in good faith, thereby preserving our na-
tional integrity and honor. We maintain
that the constitution follows the flag over
every Integral part of the United States,
affording to its inhabitants the protection

and benefits of its guaranties of life, lib-
erty, habeas corpus, freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, trial by jury and uni-
form tariff laws. A republican congress has
no more right to establish or govern a ter-
ritorial or colonial system outside of the
constitution than it has to create a king.
We demand that every part of our posses-
sions shall be governed according to Amer-
ican precedents and American principles.
Our plain duty is to abolish all customs
tariffs between the United States and Porto
Hico and give, her products free access to
our markets. We condemn President Mc-
Kinley and a republican congress for a fla-
grant violation of this plain duty and for
their hypocrisy and inconsistency.
NORTH CAROLINA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the policy of the republican
party for its legislation by which the peo-
ple in territory acquired by the United
States are taxed without representation and
deprived of the protection afforded by the
principle that the constitution follows the
flag. We are in favor of peaceful commer-
cial expansion, but denounce imperialism
and militarism.

REPUBLICAN.
We favor the extension of our commerce
into China and the far east, to further the
introduction and establishment of a market
for our surplus grain, cattle and other prod-
ucts; and we favor the retention by the
United States of every foot of the territory
over which the stars and stripes now float.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are opposed to the republican policy of
militarism and colonialism, an alliance with
any foreign power, and opposed to terri-
torial expansion by force of arms, and in
favor of trade expansion to the fullest ex-
tent. We are opposed to taxation without
representation; it is our plain duty to
abolish all customs duties between our-
selves and Porto Rico.
OHIO.
REPUBLICAN.
The provisions of the treaty of Paris,
which took from Spain her title to the Phil-
ippine islands and vested in the people of
the United States unquestioned sovereignty
over those islands, to be exercised for secur-
ing to the people thereof the blessings of
liberty and law, opened for those people the
only possible pathway of escape from op-
pression and placed them on the road to
progress in enlightenment and civilization.
We approve the wisdom and humanity of
the president in negotiating the treaty, of
the senate in confirming it by a two-thirds
majority, and of congress in appropriating
the sum of $20.000.000 provided therein to b;>
paid, by an almost unanimous vote. The
sovereignty thus deliberately assumed by
the conjoint action of the great treaty-mak-
ing and law-making powers of the United
States it was the duty of the executive to
maintain, and we approve the vigor, the
wisdom and the success with which Presi-
dent McKinley has performed that duty,
and the fortitude and heroism of the sol-
diers and sailors of the United States.
through whom it was performed. That sov-
ereignty must not be repudiated; and the
high purpose of its origin must be accom-
plished in the establishment of peace and
order and the blessings of individual lib-
erty among the peoples of the Philippine
islands.
DEMOCRATIC.
We enter our protest against the doctrine
that the president or congress can govern
acquired territory outside and independently
of the constitution of the United States as
a doctrine utterly subversive of every foun-
dation principle of our government. The
declaration of independence, the flag and
the constitution must everywhere stand to-
gether as emblems of human liberty and
equal rights for all, and where one goes all
go. We therefore denounce imperialism
under any pretense as necessarily leading
to militarism and as wholly foreign to our
system of government, and declare that
neither congress nor the president can exer-
cise any power whatever not derived from
the constitution. W T e therefore denounce
the Porto Rican tariff bill as a palpable vio-
lation of the doctrines of the fathers and
of the fundamental principles of our gov-
ernment, which is based upon equal rights
to all.
OREGON.
REPUBLICAN.
We heartily indorse the policy of the ad-
ministration, and particularly in securing
the Philippine islands, and we demand that
they shall be retained as American terri-
tory. We have confidence that the Amer-
ican people, without departing from their
traditions, will give security to personal
and property rights, justice, liberty and
equality before the law, to all who live b
neath its flag. We indorse the policy of the
administration in suppressing the insurrec-
tion in the Philippines headed by Aguinaldo.
We point with pride to the honorable pare
played by the 2d Oregon regiment in this
Avar. It met with victory in every com-
bat and covered its state and country
with glory on every field. We condole with
the families of those members of the regi-
ment who lost their lives in the conflict,
and extend our congratulations to the sur-
vivors of the regiment on the brilliant aud
honorable record they have made. We re
gard trade with the orient as one of the
great sources of our national wealth in the
future, and an open door in China as an
important aid to the growth of our trade in
the orient. We commend the successful ef-
forts of the present administration, and
especially of its secretary of state, to
cure by treaty with the several European
powers the right to the free introduction of
American goods into this great empire.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our former declaration in
favor of the initiative 'and referendum and
pledge our candidates for the legislature to
support the pending amendment to the con
stitution submitting the question of direct
legislation to the people. We denounce the
doctrine that an executive or a congress
created and limited by the constitution can
exercise lawful authority beyond that con
stitution, and in violation of it. Believing
that a nation cannot long endure half re
public and half empire, we oppose wars of
conquest and colonial possessions. The Fil-
ipinos cannot be citizens without endanger-

ing our civilization: they cannot be sub-
jects without endangering our form of gov-
ernment, and as we are not willing to sur-
render our civilization or to convert a repub-
lic into an empire, we favor an immediate
declaration of the nation's purpose to give
to the Filipinos, first, a stable form of gov-
ernment; second, independence, and, third,
protection from outside interference, as it
has for nearly a century given protection to
the republics of Central and South America.
We favor the expansion of trade by every
legitimate and peaceful means, but we are
opposed to purchasing trade at the cannon's
mouth with human blood; neither do we
believe that trade secured and held by force
is worth the price that must be paid for it.
We are in favor of extending the nation's
influence, but we believe that that influence
should be extended, not by force and vio-
lence, but through the persuasive power of a
high and honorable example. We oppose
militarism. It imposes upon the people an
unnecessary burden, and is a constant men-
ace. A small standing army and a well-
equipped state militia are sufficient in time
of peace; in time of war the citizen-soldier
should be a republic's defense, and as an
example we point with satisfaction to the
brave and gallant services of the 2d Oregon
in the late Spanish- American war.
PENNSYLVANIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are unalterably opposed to the Im-
perialism of the present administration and
the republican party. No commercial ad-
vantage can justify our holding the Fili-
pinos as a subject people and the Philip-
pine islands as an imperial colony. We
favor granting at once to the people thereof
home rule and the right to govern them-
selves- under the protection of the United
States. We demand that the solemn pledge
made by congress to the people of Cuba
be faithfully observed and their independ-
ence granted them in compliance there-
with and that the army of the United States
be withdrawn, as recommended by Gen.
Leonard Wood. We demand for the people
of Porto Rico the right of freely importing
and exporting to and from any part of the
United States; and we denounce the sinis-
ter influences that have caused the presi-
dent to depart from that which he termed
was a "plain duty." In our intercourse, po-
litical, financial and commercial, with for-
eign nations, we demand a vigorous Amer-
ican policy. We deplore the subserviency
of the present administration to the behests
of England and English statesmen, whether
the same be intentional or caused by the
ignorance of our officials in the state de-
partment. We denounce the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty as a complete abandonment of
the claims of our statesmen of our right to
construct and control an interoceanic canal
and as un-American and a base surrender of
our inherent right of self-defense.
RHODE ISLAND.
DEMOCBATIC.
We hold with the revolutionary heroes
that taxation without representation is
tyranny; with Charles Sumner. that the
constitution should be interpreted in the
light of the declaration of independence,
and with Abraham Lincoln that no man is
good enough to govern another man without
that other's consent. No people should be
annexed to the United States against their
will, and, however willing to come, no
people should be admitted except to equal
rights. A republic cannot afford to have a
subject population. The constitution must
always follow the flag a government of law
and not of men.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
BEPUBLICAX.
We indorse the course of the present ad-
ministration in so nobly and wisely seeking
to guard the results of the triumph of the
American army and navy in rescuing mil-
lions of people from the yoke of Spanish
oppression, by instituting American author-
ity in our newly acquired territory till the
people of these possessions are able to es-
tablish and maintain stable governments of
their own.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the imperialistic policy of
the present republican administration, un-
der President William McKinley, as con-
trary to the letter and spirit of the declara-
tion of independence and the constitution of
the United States, and as dangerous to the
liberty and freedom not only of the people
df the Spanish islands, but of the citizens
of this country as well. The benevolent
assimilation of the Filipinos is proved to be
the benevolence of murder and the assimila-
tion of robbery. We denounce it as an out-
rage to the consciences of liberty-loving
Americans. Our free institutions cannot
long survive the destruction of those prin-
ciples upon which they rest, and the spec-
tacle of subject peoples held down by the
bayonet and robbed by carpet-baggers but
foreshadows the fate for our own country
unless the people are aroused to our danger.
The unjust war of subjugation now being
carried on in the Philippines by President
McKinley should be ended at once, with
definite and pacific declarations to the na-
tives as to the intentions of this country to
aid them in the establishment of a free
government of their own choice under a pro
tectorate by the United States. We demand
a strict adherence on the part of the United
States government to the solemn pledges by
which congress promised independence to
the Cuban patriots, and for which this coun-
try waged a successful and glorious war
with Spain. We- denounce and condemn the
unjust and unconstitutional treatment of
Porto Rico by the republican party, whose
policy in that island is not only illegal, but
unworthy of a republic, and we demand a
recognition of Porto Rico under the const!
tution of the United States and on the same
basis with the territories. We indorse the
course of those democratic senators and rep-
resentatives who opposed the imperialistic
legislation enacted by the republican con
gress for the government of Porto Rico.
SOUTH DAKOTA.

TENNESSEE.
REPUBLICAN.
(Brownlow faction.)
National expansion is an accomplished
fact. We believe in taking no backward
step. The new possessions we have ac-
quired, in consequence of the war and by
treaty with Spain, are ours to deal with as
we may see fit. To give to them wise, en-
lightened and humane governments, adapt-
ed to the degree of civilization to which
they have attained, we believe to be the
duty of the nation. In the inauguration of
such governments the leaders of our party,
under the able and tactful direction of the
president, are manifesting a broad and lib-
eral statesmanship of which we are justly
proud. Especially do we commend the wis-
iom of the president in the selection of the
Hon. Luke E. Wright of our own state as
the representative of the south on the Phil-
"ppine commission. With such democrats
as Senator Morgan of Alabama, Senator Mc-
Laurin of South Carolina and Judges Lurton
and Wright of Tennessee indorsing the
policy of the administration in its treat-
ment of expansion as an accepted fact, and
In its effort to establish in our new terri-
tories law and order as a prerequisite to
liberty, we contemplate with complacency
the denunciation of the administration by
the Bryan followers, who "clamor for war
in times of peace" and have a "mania for
peace in times of war." We repudiate the
doctrine that because perplexing and diffi-
cult problems are met with in the endeavor
to establish law and individual liberty in
these new possessions we should turn them
adrift and leave them to their fate. Such a
doctrine we denounce as cowardly and
pusillanimous, at once violative of our na-
tional obligations and of our commercial in-
terests. We are proud of the magnificent
results of the war with Spain and of the
brilliant foreign policy of the present ad-
ministration, which together have made
possible an "open door" to the trade of
China and the far east, laid the ground-
work for the building of the Nicaragua
canal and given to the United States high
rank as a world power.
DEMOCRATIC.
In the difficult problem presented by the
situation confronting the country growing
out of the late Spanish-American war and
its management and results, with the duties
and responsibilities thrown upon the United
States in relation to the peoples of the
islands lately belonging to Spain, we de-
clare there is a twofold duty resting upon
the government of the United States involv-
ing simple justice to both of them, liberty
and self-government and aid from us in
the establishment and maintenance thereof;
to the United States, all such rights, privi
leges and control as may bo necessary for
its own welfare, security and interest in
guarding itself against loss and protecting
them from injury, including all things that
may be necessary for military or naval pur-
poses and also a just and fair though abso
lute direction and control of their foreign and
commercial relations in so far as they affect
the United States and so long as the United
States are in any way responsible for th. it-
conduct and welfare. We protest against
the imperialistic policy of the republican
administration as shown not only in the
virtual abdication of power by congress and
the autocracy of the executive, but in the
shameful and oppressive discrimination in
favor of the wards of the republican party,
the protected and privileged interests as
against the helpless people of Porto Rico.
We insist that the spirit of the constitution
and the laws of trade as well follow the
flag. We have faith in a solution of this
problem that shall be in rigid accordance
with the demands of national duty and
honor, and in consonance w T ith that policy
and those principles which were the in-
spiration of our declaration of independ-
ence, leading always and everywhere to
liberty and equal laws, never to autocratic
license or economic slavery. Whether in
the solution of this problem there be in the
result total separation from the United
States or otherwise, yet in any event free
government and protection thereunder
granted to them must be accompanied by
proper safeguards to the United States, not
oppressive to them, yet just to the govern
ment which secures their freedom.

[xissc-.ssions to congress and the president,
believing that they may lawfully control
them as they deem best, and feeling assured
that they will give to those possessions
every measure of self-government for which
they may show themselves fitted. Our ex-
perience in the recent war with Spain and
the protection of our possessions in the

sity of the completion of 'the Nicaragua

its control if not ownership by this country.
We point to the treatment of Cuba by our
government as something which will go into
history a golden page.
DEMOCRATIC.
The plighted faith of the United States to
the people of Cuba must be observed in let-
ter and spirit. The government of the
island of Cuba should be placed under the
control of the Cuban people without unnec-
essary delay. We are opposed to imperial-
ism and militarism, but favor commercial
expansion and progress, not by force, but by
natural and peaceful means. We are in
favor of the kind of expansion which Jeffer-
son advocated and practiced, and which is
not incompatible with our form of govern-
ment, applying to contiguous or neighbor-
ing territory, whose inhabitants are fitted,
either immediately or ultimately, te be-
come citizens of the United States. But we
are opposed to wars of aggression and con-
quest, by means of which alien peoples are
brought under our dominion against their
will. Such wars, undertaken in a spirit of
commercialism, greed and covetousness.
bringing to us colonies and subjects, instead
of sister states and fellow-citizens, are di-
rectly antagonistic to the idea that govern-
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed. .In the rightful
prosecution of a war begun in the interests
of humanity the commercial, political key
to the vast archipelago fell into the posses-
sion of our land and naval forces, and upon
the conclusion of peace the obligation to
protect life and property and to preserve
order devolved upon our government. When
armed resistance to the authority of the
United States shall have ceased within the
Philippine islands it should be the purpose
of the United States to provide for the or-
ganization of a government by the people of
those islands, and congress should at once
announce that it is the intention of the
United States, by such measures as may
be deemed most expedient, to secure the
blessings of liberty and free government to
the peoples of the Philippines.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that this country should man-
fully accept and shoulder the increased
duties and responsibilities that have come
to it during the present administration-
through the wish and free choice of the
peoples concerned in the accession of the
Hawaiian islands through the fortunes of
war and as the glorious fruit of the heroic
achievements of American sailors and sol-
diers in the island possessions that became
ours by the term's of our treaty with Spain.
We unhesitatingly proclaim our conviction
that from over no inch of this newly ac-
quired territory where the stars and stripes
have floated, carrying their promise of en-
lightenment and freedom, should that flag
be lowered or that promise be withdrawn.
So long as any of the inhabitants of any of
these islands continue in a state of insur-
rection against the authority of the United
States it is the duty of the government to
quell such insurrection and to establish
there tranquillity and order. Whether or not
the constitution follows the flag, we be-
lieve that the good faith of the American
people must stand unquestioned wherever
the stars and stripes are seen and that we
are bound by justice and humanity to deal
with the question arising out of our own
new possessions in the spirit of the Amer-
ican constitution and civilization.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are unalterably opposed to the im-
perial policy of the present administration
and the republican party and look upon its
advocates as enemies of our present form of
government. It has already deprived our
people of the proud title of "champions of
liberty" and placed a stain upon the flag
which will require the determined and per-
sistent efforts of the lovers of our constitu-
tion to efface. Its continuance will make
necessary a large outlay of money, which
the taxpayers of this country will be called
upon to pay, and inevitably involve us in
war with foreign nations, while it will fur-
nish an excuse for the maintenance of a
large standing army, which has always been
and always will be a menace to the liberty
and independence of the individual, and for
the creation of many new offices that the
republican party will fill by appointing
nien^bers of a rich oligarchy who will ad-
minister the affairs for their own benefit
and to the detriment of the common people.
We therefore favor: Home rule for the
Filipino people under the protection of the
United States; absolute free trade between
Porto Rico and other parts of the United
States; the independence of Cuba according
to solemn promise given its people; no sub-
ject people; no colonial dependencies.
VIRGINIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare that there can be no govern-

that which is dominated by* the constitution

promotion of our welfare nor in accordance
with the constitution can the United States
acquire and govern any territory whatso-
ever as subject province nor deny to the
people of any territory to be retained under
our control the blessings of constitutional
liberty, nor can we hope to raise the level
of American citizenship by pouring into it
a horde of Asiatics. Therefore, in the in-
terest of the American people and American
institutions and in harmony with the
teachings of our wisest statesmen of all
parties and as "a plain duty" we demand
that the Philippine islands be turned over
as soon as practicable to their ow r n inhab-
itants, that the people of Porto Rico be
given a just territorial government before
their substance is stolen by carpet-baggers
and that we promptly and honorably make
good our solemn declarations concerning
Cuba. We, democrats of Virginia, are op-
posed to militarism and great standing
armies as the worst enemies of the republic.

We hold that all just governments derive
their powers from the consent of the gov-
rned, and we denounce the attempt to
conquer a people struggling to achieve their
"ndependence and establish a government
for themselves and suited, in their opinion,
to promote their welfare and happiness as
an act of "criminal aggression" and a
wicked exercise of despotic power, subver-
sive of the fundamental principles upon
which our own and all other free govern-
ments are founded. We denounce the pros-
ecution of a war of conquest by the presi-
dent of the United States, waged without
consent and authority of congress, as
an act of usurpation deserving of condemna-
tion and rebuke at the hands of the Amer-
can people. We regard with alarm and ap-
prehension the growth of militarism and the
ncreasing tendency to rely on force in the
administration of governments. We hold a
large standing army to be dangerous in
time of peaee to the liberties of the people
and to be a constant menace to the perpe-
;uity of free government. Mindful of the
essons of history and the warnings of our
wise forefathers, we denounce the creation
[>f a large standing army, and are opposed
o militarism and imperialism now and
always, and to the erection of an empire
upon the ruins of a republic. We denounce
he administration of the weak, vacillating
ind subservient federal executive, William
SIcKinley, as arbitrary, corrupt, unconstitu-
ional and despotic, and as at variance with
all the traditions of the republic. We are
>pposed to any entangling alliance with
another foreign power, to any colonial sys-
'em and to the conquest of territory to be
held and governed as dependencies by gov-
rnors and satraps appointed by executive
power. We regard the continuance in pow-
er of the republican party as certain to
result in the final and complete overthrow
of the republic under tne constitution, and
we call upon all good citizens and patriots
to unite with us to overthrow it at the polls
and to restore once more constitutional gov-
ernment.

We denounce the republican party for its
brazen inconsistency in treating Porto Rico
as a part of our territorial possessions and
at the same time unjustly discriminating
against its people as well as our own by
imposing a burden of tariff in express vio-
lation of the constitution of our country in
establishing a system of imperialism grossly
repugnant to the spirit of our institutions
and necessitating the maintenance of a sys-
tem of militarism that threatens the p>r-
petuity of our government for the sole pur-
pose of gain and conquest; in establishing
for all time a scheme of taxation under the
guise of war taxes for the purpose of main-
taining a standing army at a time when
peace should prevail and providing revenue
made necessary by a policy of exorbitant
and prohibitory tariff impositions practiced
in the interests of monopolies and trust
combinations that have been fostered by the
present administration; in the profligate
and corrupt use of the public funds in
fraudulent army contracts and the purchase
of war vessels, and we point to the gigantic
postal frauds in Cuba as a fair sample of
republican integrity.

The provisions of the treaty of Paris
which took from Spain her title to the Phil-
ippine islands and vest in the people of the
United States unquestioned sovereignty
over those islands to be exercised for secur-
ing to the people thereof the blessings of
liberty, law and self-government opened
for those people the only possible pathway
of escape from oppression and placed them
on the road to progress in enlightenment
and civilization. We approve the wisdom
and humanity of the president in negotiat-
ing the treaty, of the senate in confirming
it by a two-thirds majority, and of congress
in appropriating the sum of $20,000,000 pro-
vided therein to be paid, by an almost
unanimous vote. The sovereignty thus de-
liberately assumed by the conjoint action
of the great treaty-making and law-making
powers of the United States it was the duty
of the executive to maintain, and we ap-
prove the vigor, the wisdom and the success
with which President Mcfttnley has per-
formed that duty, and the fortitude and
heroism of the soldiers and sailors of the

If we get rid of the mother of trusts, the
republican tariff, we get rid of the trusts

combinations in restraint of trade, or that
have for their purpose the control of the

indorse the action of the last legislature in

CALIFORNIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democratic party has repeatedly
called the attention of the country to the
growing danger of large combinations of
apital which absorb the business of the
nation, check enterprise and restrict and
stunt individual effort and opportunity,
rhese evils, so often predicted, are now
fully realized, and the vast trusts which
now control the industries of the country
will, in the near future, openly dominate,
as they now secretly manipulate, all govern-
mental agencies, unless by a change in the
political complexion of the government and
rhe enactment of laws for their suppression
:h>y are deprived of further opportunity for
;he injury and enslavement of the people.
We therefore pledge ourselves to wage an
unceasing warfare against all trusts as
dangerous foes to the peace, well-being and
prospority of the people, and we demand the
repeal of all laws giving special privilege to
any person, class, locality or interest.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of Colorado stands
committed to legislative and executive op-
position to threatening combinations of cap-
ital which seek to restrict competition and
stifle independent producers. We invite
within our borders the capitalistic Invest-
ments that are material to the industrial
development of the state and the largest
employment of labor, but we insist that
injurious combinations shall be forbidden
and so-called trusts shall be regulated from
time to time and be so restricted as to
guarantee immunity from hurtful monopoly
and assure fair treatment and protection to
all competing industries.
DEMOCRATIC.
To all mercenary combinations known as
trusts, whether money trusts or industrial
trusts, we declare our unfaltering opposi-
tion. They are largely the result of the
unwise tariff policy forced upon the country
by republican administrations, and, if not
checked, will forge and fasten upon the
great body of the people the chains of in-
dustrial slavery, as well as dominate and
control the legislation of the country and
the execution of its laws. We demand that
both national and state governments use
every effort to suppress them. We denounce
the un-American policy of the present na-
tional administration whereby illegal com-
binations are encouraged and the laws for
the control thereof have been permitted to
remain inoperative.
CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
The marvelous increase in the wealth of
the nation has encouraged large combina-
tions of capital to attempt to control the
production and price of many important
commodities. So far as these great cor-
porations strive to lessen the cost of produc-
tion without lowering the standard of
wages, to the end that they may success-
fully enter and command the markets of
the world to the advantage of the American
consumer and wage-earner, they may well
be endured. But the American people will
never endure monopolies which result in in-
justice to laborers or extortionate price to
consumers, and we believe that congress
and the legislatures of the several states
should without delay enact such laws as
may be necessary to protect stockholders
against fraud, laborers against injustice
and consumers aeainst extortion. The man-
agers and manipulators of the so-called
trusts must remember that their charters
are granted to them by the people and that
the people will and ought to hold them to
strict accountability for the exceptional
privileges they are permitted to enjoy.

REPUBLICAN.
(Addicks faction.)
That all combinations or trusts, so called,
whose operation, management and control
increase the cost of any article or com-
modity to the consumer are a menace to the
safety of the country and should be so
regulated and controlled by proper and ade-
quate legislation that said operation, man-
agement and control will in the future inure
to the benefit of the people. And if it is
found impossible to permit the existence of
such combinations or trusts under such re-
stricted conditions then we demand such
legislation as will completely abolish them.
DEMOCRATIC.
We point to the growth of trusts and
monopolies as one of the evil results of the
ascendency of the republican party at
Washington. By the present tariff law, and
in numerous ways, special privileges and
undue favors have been extended to favored
classes and huge corporations. The older
trusts have all been strengthened and new
trusts, too numerous to mention, have been
created since McKinley became president.
These trusts devour the prosperity which
appears in the land as a result of the in-
dustry of the people, and consequently the
masses have had little taste of the fruit of
their own labor. If the people do not speed-
ily dominate, regulate and control these
trusts the trusts will permanently dominate
and control the government and continue
indefinitely to levy exactions upon the peo-
ple. We submit that the republican party,
itself controlled by the trusts, cannot safely
be relied on to curb the trusts, and we de-
mand that the government be taken out of
the hands of the friends of monopoly and
restored to the untrammeled representatives
of the people.

The enormous growth and influence of the

vital question which must be settled at the

We view with alarm the multiplication of
those combinations of capital, commonly
known as trusts, that are concentrating and
monopolizing the industries of the country,
crushing out the independent producers of
limited means, destroying competition, re-
straining the opportunities for labor, arti-
ficially limiting production and raising
prices, and we emphatically declare our op-
position to all such unlawful combinations
and demand the enactment of such laws,
both state and national, as will aid in the
destruction of these great combinations and
trusts.

True to the principles of the republican

a government founded thereon to all its

the most dangerous product of aggregated
capital and we recommend the early adop-
tion of such co-operative national and state
legislation as will destroy their power for
harm.
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor such legislation as will destroy
all unlawful combinations of capital formed
for the purpose of limiting production or
increasing the price of manufactured prod-

for this purpose are detrimental to the best
interests of trade and hostile to the laboring
people.
DEMOCRATIC.
Trusts and monopolies, formed for the
purpose of arbitrarily controlling products
and prices in the interest solely of combined
capital, if allowed to go on, can result only
in industrial serfdom for the mass of the
people. We therefore oppose such combi-
nations and demand that not only existing
laws against such combinations in restraint
of trade be rigidly enforced, but believing
that protective tariffs and railway discrim-
inations have been and still are the chief
supporters of monopolies, we favor the re-
muval -of duties from all imports monopo-
lized by trusts and also demand the enact-
ment and enforcement of such legislation
as- will prevent every species of discrimina-
tion; and believing that the courageous and
honest application of the democratic maxim
of "equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none" will be effective to destroy
and thereafter prevent any trust or com-
bination of capital that is prejudicial to
the general welfare, we demand the repeal
of all such laws giving special privileges to
any person, class, locality or .interests.

Combinations of capital having as their

who thus seek to destroy honest competition
and prevent the widest possible employment
to labor.

and we denounce the combination and cre-

contrary to the common law, destructive of
individual effort and enterprise and inim-
ical to the welfare of the people and the
state and the nation.
DEMOCRATIC.

PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The enormous growth of the combinations
of capital known as trusts, whereby the con-
trol of the means of production and distri-
bution is centered in the hands of a few
favorite individuals, presents a condition
which is a menace to free government. The
republican party has had absolute control of
the government for the past four years, but
has utterly failed to present a remedy for
those evils, and we charge that the leaders
of the party are dominated and controlled
by the trust interests of the country- We
believe that th<^ practical solution of tho
trust problem lies in the direction of a
more extensive application of the principles
of government ownership. We therefore
demand the government ownership of all
public utilities in our cities, the state and
the nation. We further demand the abol-
ishment of all special privilegws given to
capital, including protective duties on arti-
cles manufactured and used by trusts or
combinations in restraint of trade, and
declare that when any business becomes
a monopoly it should be taken out of
the control of private individuals and be
owned and operated by the government, and
we favor such amendments to the state and
national constitution as will place the com-
plete control of all such combinations of
capital in restraint of trade in the hands
of congress and the legislatures of the sev-
eral states.

artificially limiting production, raising

multiplication throughout the country are
rapidly creating a condition which is be-

purposes so great and unprecedented as to
require the serious and careful considera-
tion of the people of the nation. In so far
as such combinations are for lawful pur-
poses they may not be restrained. But
whenever they tend to impair the equal
rights and privileges of all citizens by re-
straint of trade, by oppression of weaker
competitors", or by enhancing the cost of
the necessities of life, they become unlaw-
ful and must be sternly dealt with. Such
combinations are the inevitable results of
the sharp competition which relentlessly
enforces reductions of costs, and are fre-
quently an incident of prosperity; but the
evils which arise from them are not to be
cured by a return to adversity through the
success of the democratic party. Such a
remedy would be worse than the disease.
Whenever they become destructive of the
rights of citizens they should be suppressed
by adequate statutes enacted by the legisla-
tures of the states, or by congress if the
resulting evils are beyond the power and
jurisdiction of the states. If they create
business disorder and commercial panic by
the practice of concealment and secrecy,
they should be made to stand forth in the
light of publicity; and if by the power of
their combined capital they are enabled to
obtain disproportionate advantages they
should be taxed according to the value of
the franchises they enjoy. The true solu-
tion of these economic problems is the pre-
rogative of no party, but is rather the com-
mon duty of all the citizens. The repub-
lican party, however, stands, and has
always stood, for the protection of the
rights of the citizen, not only from foreign
but from domestic interference, and may be
trusted to deal with these combinations in
such a way as to secure the fullest liberty
of private enterprise without working the
destruction of the prosperity of the nation.
DEMOCRATIC.
The monopolistic corporations, or consoli-
dations of corporations, known commonly as
trusts, are wholly evil, pernicious and con-
trary to public policy. They despoil with
one hand the producer and with the other
the consumer. They have closed the ave-
nues of employment to hundreds of thou-
sands of men, including all classes, from
the day laborer to the successful salesman.
By their methods of coercion and intimida-
tion, re-enforced as they are by the corrupt
favor of railroad corporations, they drive
out of business and into penury or a position
f dependence individuals engaged in pro-
ductive or distributing business. Tne plea
of the defenders of the trusts that by the
volume of their business and by their very
control of their field they are able to in-
troduce economies which cheapen the price
of the product to the consumer is disin-
genuous, deceptive and unworthy considera-
:ion. The purpose of monopoly is extortion,
and neither an individual nor a corporation
can be trusted with the power which mo-
nopoly confers. We hold that the mere
success of the democratic party in state or
nation, coupled with its known and vigor-
ously expressed hostility to trusts in all
;heir forms, will begin the disintegration of
hese oppressive corporations. But we
jledge ourselves, furthermore, to give due
:rial to such remedies as may hasten this
orocess for example, a compulsory system
of publicity for all trust records and ac-
counts; a federal law prohibiting a monop-
oly from making more divergent prices for
its products in different parts of the coun-
try than are warranted by differing rat._,
thus preventing underselling in one state
to drive out competition at the expense of
the consumer in other states where the
monopoly is complete; and a more rigid
enforcement of the law against railroad di
criminations, pending the actual govern-
ment ownership and operation of all rail-
roads which this convention demands, ant
which will, when accomplished, be the most
effective barrier to the formation of any
new trusts. And, finally, we demand that
all special privileges conferred by law,
whether of taxation, incorporation or opera-
tion, that shall be determined to contribute
to monopoly, be abrogated and annulled.

(Convention of June 28.)
We especially commend and indorse the
action and work of our senators and repre-

mend the legislation of congress looking
toward the establishment of suitable gov-
ernment for newly acquired territory, pro-
moting the general prosperity, and in its
efforts to restrain trusts and monopolies.
DEMOCRATIC.
We believe this policy has been dictated
to and forced upon the administration of
President McKinley by the mercenary com
binations known as trusts. The trust is
supreme in political as in industrial ac-
tivities. In both it is an unmixed public
evil. The economic advantages of industrial
combinations are entirely lost to the people
and swell the profits of arrogant and con-
scienceless magnates, who feed on the rep-
rehensible indifference of their victims.
We request our delegates to the national
convention to urge upon that body the selec-
tion of the most practical and effective of
the many plans for curtailing the powers of
the trusts and to pledge the party to spe
cific legislation upon the lines adopted.

ment to labor and highest wages, and en-
abled us successfully to compete with for-
eign countries in the markets of the world.
But the republican party now, as always, is
unalterably opposed to all trusts and com-
binations having for their purpose the sti-
fling of competition and arbitrarily control-
ling production or fixing prices. Among
other remedies we favor legislation provid-
ing for the utmost publicity as to the in-
ternal affairs of this class of corporations,
and we favor an amendment to the consti-

power to congress to protect the people
against the evils threatened.

We are unalterably opposed to all trusts

from these evils. And if such legislation
cannot be had under present constitutional
powers we demand such amendments to
the constitution of the United States as will
suppress such combinations.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce as one of the most trying
evils of the day the present tendency
toward monopoly and the destruction of
competition, particularly the industrial
combine commonly known as trust. We ar-
raign the republican party as guilty of the
grossest hypocrisy in the treatment of this
question in that being in the ascendency in
congress it has steadfastly refused to pass
any of the legislation which has been pro-
posed to curb the power of trusts; has
failed to withdraw tariff protection from
trust-made goods and has constituted the
leaders of trusts as the leaders of its party
in the nation and has accepted from them
contributions of millions of dollars to its
gigantic corruption fund, which fact in it-
self is a menace to the stability of our free
institutions. We declare that the existence
of trusts is opposed to the public welfare as
regards the employment of thousands of
persons who have been deprived of means
of livelihood, and in their exactions from
consumers. In addition to this they are a
threat against liberty itself in that they
undertake to control our elections with
money. While we would protect legitimate
business corporations in all their just rights,
we hereby emphatically voice our opposition
to the continuance of trust domination in
the business affairs and politics of the
nation, and we pledge ourselves, as we have
given to the people possible legislation on
this subject in our state, to see to it that it
is enforced; and that it shall be when in
our power enforced by the federal govern-
ment ; believing, as we do, wherever the
federal government will co-operate in its
sphere with the state government in this
direction that the people will have the re-
lief to which they are entitled.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We denounce both the republican and
democratic party leaders for their unfair
and unpatriotic defense and protection of
the corporations of the nation in their pri-
vate ownership and exercise of sovereign
functions of the state, and we demand that
such ownership and exercise shall forever-
cease; that all public functions shall here-
after be exercised by the public solely for
the public benefit, and that all railroads,
telegraphs and telephones, street railways
and all other public utilities shall be owned
and operated directly by the people and for
the people, without allowing rake-offs there-
from to any corporation, political party or
private power whatsoever. The issuance of
licenses to trusts, thereby making trusts
legitimate and permanently fastening them
upon the nation, under the plan now be-
ing advocated by William J. Bryan and
by John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil
trust we denounce as a designing scheme
to enable corrupt and decaying political
parties, by the levy of political blackmail
upon the trusts, to extort enormous sums,
under the name of campaign funds, for use
in the corruption of state and national elec-
tions. We further denounce the proposed
postponement of all action against trusts
until new state and national laws can be
enacted against them and unti, new pro-
hibitive constitutional amendments can be
adopted as a mere specious scheme to de-
lay, advocated solely in the interest of the
trusts and against the people. We demand
that all corporations conducting the busi-
ness of a trust in whole or in part, or in
any way combined for the restraint of
trade, or for advancing the price of goods
manufactured or dealt in by them, or for
the purpose of securing a reduction either
in the wages paid employes or in the prices

chises, upon the grounds that such corpora-

lic policy and a menace to the state, and
we further demand that our existing cor-
poration laws shall be so amended that no
new franchise can be hereafter granted to
any trust.
MONTANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor stringent legislation such as will
destroy all unlawful combinations of capital
formed for the purpose of limiting the
production or increasing the price of prod-
ucts. Combinations of capital formed for
this purpose are dangerous to the interests
of trade and hostile to the laboring people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party as the
father of trusts and the diverter of the
natural prosperity of the country into the
pockets of the rich.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party recognizes that
legitimate business, fairly capitalized and
honestly managed, has built up our indus-
tries at home, given the largest employment
to labor at highest wage and enabled us
successfully to compete with foreign coun-
tries in the markets of the world. But the
republican party now, as always, is un-
alterably opposed to all truats and com-
binations having for their purpose the
stifling of competition and arbitrarily con-
trolling productions or fixing prices. We

refer to the fact that all restrictive legisla
tion in the national congress has been the
product of the republican party and we de-
mand in substance the following amend-
ment to the constitution of the United
States: "Congress shall have the power to
regulate and control any and all corpora-
tions, copartnerships and joint stock com-
panies, and to enact such laws as will pre-
vent any and all combinations in restraint
of production and trade, the formation of
trusts and such other combinations of cap-
ital as operate to prevent free competition."
DEMOCRATIC.
We pledge ourselves to wage an unceasing
warfare against all trusts the money trust,
the industrial trust and the international
laud-grabbing trust. We believe that pri-
vate monopolies are indefensible and intol-
erable and we condemn the national admin-
istration for its failure to enforce the pres-
ent law against the trusts or to recommend
a more effective law. We favor a state con-
stitution which will prohibit the organiza-
tion of a monopoly within the state and also
prevent a monopoly organized elsewhere
from doing business within the state; but
we further believe that congress should sup-
plement the efforts of the state by legisla-
tion which will require every corporation,
before engaging in interstate commerce, to
show that it has no water in its stock and
that it has neither attempted in the past
nor is attempting to monopolize any branch
of business or the production of any article
of merchandise.

NEW JERSEY.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party in its
open effort to foster trusts in the great in-
dustrial trades at the expense of the inter-
ests of the whole people, arid especially of
the laboring man. The growth of these mo-
nopolies has been so dangerous as to require
instant legislative redress. We call for
strict enforcement of our present laws
against these monopolies, and we demand
more stringent legislation, both state and
national, including a constitutional amend-
ment if necessary, to regulate and correct
their evil tendencies. We declare for rigid
inspection of their books by proper state
and national officers. For infractions of the
law we demand that their charters be re-
voked. We favor the removal of protective
duties from all products which are found to
nter into competition with the output of
these unlawful combinations.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

% NEW YORK.
DEMOCRATIC.
We express our unqualified opposition to
those immense combinations of capital,
commonly known as "trusts," which ar
concentrating and monopolizing industrj
and business, crushing out independent pro
ducers of limited means, destroying compe
titiou, restricting opportunities for labor
artificially limiting production, raising
prices, and by reason of their alariuinj.
multiplication throughout the country art
rapidly creating a condition which is be
coming intolerable. These trusts and com
binations are the direct outgrowth of tht
policy of the republican party, which has
created, fostered and protected them. I
receives their support and solicits and ac
cepts their prodigal contributions to aid its
retention in power, and it is therefore in
capacitated and unwilling to abolish and
destroy them. The necessary relief by leg
islation or otherwise for the correction 01
these evils can only be secured from th(
opponents of these trusts and not from theii
tools, associates and apologists. The peo-
ple view with distrust the recent ostenta
tious, futile and insincere efforts of repub
lican leaders in Washington to apparent!}
do something for the first time in relation
to trusts on the eve of a presidential elec
tion, after a refusal for years to even scri
ously consider the popular demand in that
direction. The democratic party pledges it-
self that if intrusted with power, in either
the state or the nation, it will devote its
best energies to the relief of the peopl
from these oppressive monopolies.
NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
We are opposed to combinations of capita
whenever they become destructive of the

development of the state and the largest

and assure fair treatment and protection to

DEMOCRATIC.
Trusts and monopolies, formed for the
purpose of arbitrarily controlling production
and prices in the interest solely of combined
capital, if allowed to go on can result only
in industrial serfdom for the mass of the
people. We therefore oppose such com-
binations and demand that not only shall
existing laws against combinations in re-
straint of trade be rigidly enforced, but,
believing that protective tariffs and railway
discriminations have been, and still are, the
chief supporters of monopolies, we favor
the removal of all duties from imports
monopolized by trusts, and also demand the
enactment and enforcement of such legisla-
tion as will prevent every species of dis-
crimination, and believe that the courageous
and honest application of the democratic
maxim of "equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" will be effective to
destroy and thereafter prevent any trust or
combination of capital that is prejudicial to
the general welfare; we demand the repeal
of all laws giving special privileges to any
person, class, locality or interests.

RHODE ISLAND.
REPUBLICAN.
While existing federal legislation concern-
ng injurious combinations is the work of a
epubOcan congress, and was approved by a
epoblican president, yet we favor such fur-
ther legislation, both state and national, as
shall abolish and render impossible all those
dishonestly organized aggregations of cap-
ital commonly called "trusts," however
they may be created or by whomsoever they
may be controlled, which have for their
purpose the stifling of competition, the arbi
trary fixing of prices or controlling of pro-
duction, and which destroy the just oppor
tunities of labor and plunder the public.
DEMOCRATIC.
When a corporation possesses the power
to arbitrarily raise prices or depress wages
it is in effect a trust. Every such trust
existing in the United States should be
controlled by national legislation, and,
when based upon a monopoly, its special
privilege should be abolished.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We view with alarm the power which the
trusts, through the republican party, are
exercising over legislation and national
policies, and their ability to control the
prices of the necessities of life without re-
gard to the law of supply and demand. We
condemn the hypocritical attitude of the
republican leaders, who abuse trusts and
combines, while they use the money ob-
tained from them and stolen from the peo-
ple to debauch the ignorant voters of the
country.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party recognizes that
legitimate business, fairly capitalized and
honestly managed, has built up our indus-

ment to labor at the highest wages and
enabled us successfully to compete with
foreign countries in the markets of the
world. Combinations of capital, having as
their object or effect the control of the pro-
duction of commodities, or the markets
thereof, are hurtful and injurious to the
best interests of the people. This evil
should be overthrown without, injury to
honest trade. We therefore favor such ad-
ditional legislation, both state and national,
as shall establish complete legal control
over all trusts and monopolies, with full
power to dissolve the same, and mete
proper punishment to all who thus seek to
destroy honest competition and prevent the
widest possible employment of labor. And
we favor such amendment to the constitu-
tion of the United States as will give to
congress full power to enact such legisla-
tion.

reckless absurdity of such vicious and un-
fair legislation in the south, where new in-
dustries are springing up with a rapidity
and on a scale never before known, de-
veloping her resources and giving ^mploy-.
ment to labor.
REPUBLICAN.
(Evans faction.)
We are opposed to all pools, combines and
trusts organizing for the purpose of trade
or traffic or to increase the price of com-
modities to the consumer; and we favor
the enactment of wise and judicious laws
by our state legislature for the purpose of
controlling and regulating the same.
DEMOCRATIC.
We join issue with the republican party
as both the father and mother of the com-
bine and the trust, and of the protective
tariff, as the guardian and next friend of
all class legislation, as the breeder of
favoritism and privilege under cover of law,
and of an inequality and iniquity in legisla-
tive and governmental policy which benefits
the few at the expense of the many, and
which as a party is the mortal foe of an
income tax, than which no tax can be
more beneficial to government or more just
and equitable to the people; and we deem
it an immediate and pressing duty of gov-
ernment to enact such legislation, either
controlling or prohibitory in its nature, as
the case may require, so as to utterly and
completely prevent any aggregation of cap-
ital or combinations of individuals or cor-
porations from being able at will to restrict
trade, control prices, create monopoly or
crush competition, and we declare combines
or trusts having such purpose, object or
effect as inimical to the interests of the
individual citizen and the public morals and
welfare; and we think the democratic
party in its national convention should
solemnly pledge the party as an organiza-
tion, both in the states and in the country
at large, to the selection of legislators, both
state and national, pledged under their
party fealty to act and labor in. their re-
spective spheres by prompt and proper leg-
islation to carry out this policy.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
We urge that all trusts or combines of

profits from consumers are crimes to be pun-

DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the policy of the republican
party which has resulted in the gigantic
trusts and combinations, made possible by
high protective and prohibitive tariffs. ^As
a legitimate result of this legislation we
point to the Standard Oil trust, the sugar
trust, the steel trust and many other com-
binations of corporate money power result-
ing in oppression of the people. Those great
monopolies prevent honest and fair compe-
tition; they destroy smaller but legitimate
and wholesome enterprises; maintain ex-
orbitant prices and rates and illegally
enrich those engaged therein. Their pro-
moters corrupt state and national legisla-
tion, control courts, elect state and na-
tional officers and dominate in all the busi-
ness avenues of life. We favor effective
legislation, both state and national, to de-
stroy such monopolies and thereby secure
individual opportunity and commercial free-
dom. We call special attention to the rapid
growth of trusts under the McKinley ad-
ministration and charge that the people
who are and have been instrumental in the
organization of these great trusts are to-
day and will be during the campaign of 1900
managing and controlling absolutely the re-
publican party. We solemnly warn the
people of our state that the growth and ex-
istence of combinations of capital for the
purpose of controlling the products of the
soil and man's industry, made possible by
republican legislation, are tending toward
a complete centralization of power in the
few, and if permittee] to continue will
eventually imperil the life of the republic.

and monopolies which, under the false pre-
tense of cheapening products to the con-
sumer, are being assisted and defended by
the republican party. We demand the rigid
enforcement of all antitrust laws now in

laws as may be necessary to curb and dis-
solve these unholy alliances, restore healthy
and necessary competition and prevent the
centralization of the wealth of the nation
in the hands of a small number of its in
habitants.
VIRGINIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare unalterable opposition to
criminal trusts and to every other illegal
combination of capital. We denounce such
trusts as a serious menace to the public
welfare, restricting the opportunities and
absorbing the substance of the people.
They are the direct product of partial and
unjust legislation and the reckless multi-
plication of corporations without suitable
provisions for their control. The rights of
American freemen must not be sacrificed in
the interest of corporations banded together
for their destruction. W T e arraign the re
publican party both for its failure to en-
force existing laws and to enact others
against the trusts.
WASHINGTON.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the present republican na-

We denounce the republican party's sys

We declare our continued adherence to
the policy by which the republican party
has proved itself, in fact as in theory, the
friend of labor, and under which our manu-
factures not only control the home market
but are taking first rank in foreign mar-
kets throughout the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We call attention to the inconsistency of
the republican party, which, while imposing
extravagant taxation upon the masses of
the American people for the benefit of fa-
vored interests, under the guise of protect-
ing American labor, is at the same time
pursuing a policy which, if successful, must
result in bringing the American toiler into
direct competition with millions of un-
assimilative Asiatics.

DEMOCRATIC.
We favor a tariff system for the sole pur-

CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
We call attention of the poople of Con-

and vital promises made in that platform
in relation to the gold standard, currency
reform and the tariff have been strictly
kept and made a part of the law of th"
land by a republican congress in the face of
bitter and almost unanimous democratic
opposition, thereby again demonstrating to
the nation that the republican party, as the
party of the people, always fearlessly and
unremittingly protects and maintains
American credit, American industries and
the wages of the American laborer.

(Regular.)
With profound satisfaction we call atten-

vailing in every section of the country, to
which the wise financial and tariff policies
of the party have so largely contributed,
and we unreservedly indorse and praise the
sagacious and patriotic administration of
the national government by President Mc-
Kinley and his constitutional advisers.
REPUBLICAN.
(Addicks wing.)
Imposts and duties should be continued on
the manufactured goods of foreign coun-
tries which enter into competition witti
the American workman, for his protection;
and that such imposts and duties should be
so laid that they discriminate in favor of
goods imported in American ships.
DEMOCRATIC.
By the present tariff law, and in numer-
ous ways, special privileges and undue
favors have been extended to favored
classes and huge corporations. The older
trusts have all been strengthened and new
trusts, too numerous to mention, have been
created since McKinley became president.
These trusts devour the prosperity which
appears in the land as a result of the in-
dustry of the people, and consequently the
masses have had little taste of the fruit
of their own labor.

This convention notes with much pleasure
that our friends in Florida are accepting

merchant marine, which will give us our
share in the carrying trade of the world in
time of peace and will constitute an effec-

DEMOCRATIC.
Public taxation should not be imposed for
private purposes; we therefore adhere to
the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only.
We are convinced that the protective tariff
system is the hot-bed that has produced
these vast numbers of trusts and combina-
tions, and we demand that they be sup-
pressed by the repeal of the protective tariff
and other privilege-conferring legislation
responsible for them.
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
Our foreign commerce, which under a
democratic administration was much crip-
pled by the repeal of the reciprocity sec-
tion of the McKiuley law and the substitu-
tion of free-trade principles for the protec-
tion given to American industries and labor
under republican legislation, has been re-
habilitated under the present republican
administration and a ready market is now
found for the surplus productions of our
farms and factories in foreign ports; and
our export trade is the largest known in our
history.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare for the greatest liberty to the
individual and our earnest opposition to all
sumptuary laws; and we believe in the
rigid restriction of government, both state
and national, to the legitimate domain of
political power by excluding therefrom all
executive and legislative intermeddling
with the affairs of society whereby monop-
olies are fostered, privileged classes ag-
grandized and individual freedom unneces-
sarily and oppressively restrained.
INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the doctrines of
reciprocity and protection to American
labor and home industries, and point to the
beneficial results which have come from
the enactment of the Dingley law. It will
be the care of the republican party to main-
tain the law in harmoney with changing
conditions from time to time; so that it
shall, at all times, subserve the purpose of
protection to the interests of labor and pro-
duction.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are opposed to a protective tariff, and
condemn the Dingley law as the culminat-
ing atrocity of the protective policy. It is
unjustifiable in principle and pernicious in
practice, and has contributed to the develop-
ment and fostering of trusts, which have
been maintained under that law at their
highest point. The menace of monopoly at
this time is most pronounced, and no sin-
cere effort has been made by the republican
party, now in full control of the govern-
ment, to strike a blow at the trust outrage.
We therefore demand the removal of all
tariff from articles made or controlled by a
rust and that no tariff be levied for other
purposes than revenue.

We denounce trusts and combinations in

sures low prices for farm products am
labor, while the trusts push up the prici
of everything used on the farm and in th<
home, and this they are enabled to do by
operation of the tariff "the mother o
trusts." W r e demand relief from this odious
system by the enforcement of the federa
laws against trusts, by throwing open to
foreign competition, through the enlarge
ment of the free list, every business man
aged by a trust, and by the enactment anc
rigid enforcement of drastic antitrust laws

REPUBLICAN.
We rejoice in the passage of the Dingley

NEW YORK.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hold to the doctrine that public taxa-
tion should not be import d lor private pur-
poses, and adhere to the principle of a
tariff for revenue only. We are opposed to
governmental partnership with protected
monopolies, and we demand that import
duties, like other taxes, should be impar-
tially laid and so adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country, not dis-
criminating between class or section, and
their imposition limited to the necessities of
the government honestly and economically
administered. Federal taxation, any more
than state taxation, should not be imposed
to benefit individual interests at the ex-
pense of the general welfare. We repudiate
the doctrine that it is the province of this
government, by the exercise or abuse of
the power of tariff taxation, to build up one
man's business at the expense of another's
or to impose burdens upon one class of citi-
zens for the benefit of other classes, and
we insist that the principle that there shall
be no public taxation except for public pur-
poses is the true theory upon which our
system of government is based aud upon
which it should be administered.
NORTH CAROLINA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the tariff legislation of the
republican party which has increased the
burdens of taxation upon our consumers
and increased the powers of the trusts and
monopolies to rob the people. Believing
that under our present method of federal
taxation more than three-fourths of our
national revenues are paid by people owning
less than one-fourth of the property of the
country, we protest against such inequality
and injustice, and in order to remedy to
some extent this groat wrong we favor an
income tax and favor all constitutional
methods to sustain it.

sult only in industrial serfdom for the mass
of people. We therefore oppose all such
combinations and demand that not only
shall existing laws against combinations in
restraint of trade be rigidly enforced, but
believing that protective tariffs and railway
discriminations have been, and still are,
the chief supporters of monopolies, we
favor the removal of all duties from im-
ports monopolized by trusts and also de-
mand the enactment and enforcement of
such legislation as will prevent every spe-
cies of discrimination, and believing that
the courageous and honest application of
the democratic maxim of "equal rights to
all and special privileges to none" will be
effective to destroy, and thereafter prevent,
any trust or combination of capital that is
prejudicial to the general welfare, we de-
mand the repeal of all laws giving special
?rivilege to any person, class, locality or
aterest.
OREGON.
DEMOCRATIC.
We condemn the present republican con-
gress for obeying the demand of the trusts
for a tariff upon goods imported to Porto
Rico and inhibiting free intercourse be-
tween our people and the people of Porto
Rico in the matter of trade. We condemn
the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding
and extortion-inviting measure, skillfully
devised for the purpose of giving to a few
favors which they do not deserve and of
placing upon the many burdens which they
should not bear.
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
The business, economic and social condi-
tions prevailing in the country at the close
of the Cleveland administration were de-
plorable. Industry was paralyzed, monetary
values were uncertain and the public treas-
ury was depleted. All these conditions are
now changed. All branches of industry are
active, and less than 1 per cent of our popu-
lation is unemployed. Our export trade is
larger than ever known in our history, busi-
ness is active and remunerative, monetary
values are permanently settled and in the
public treasury a large surplus replaces the
deficit of the last administration.
DEMOCRATIC.
First, we demand a careful and thorough
revision of the tariff and declare in favor of
the imposition of such duties only as are
necessary for an economical administration
of public affairs; and we urge upon the

democratic representatives in congress that
they use their utmost efforts to secure the
enactment of a law that will make It ob-
ligatory upon the secretary of the treasury
to place upon the free list at once every
article of raw material and every item of
manufactured product now used and manu-
factured by any trust, monopoly or combine
whatsoever, and that all corporations and
combinations of capital in the nature of
trusts intended to control manufactures,
materials or products shall make compre-
hensive and accurate public reports of their
organization, condition and operation under
appropriate penalties for failure so to do.
TENNESSEE.
REPUBLICAN.
We are gratified at the remarkable growth
of our foreign commerce during the last
three years, but we greatly deplore the fact
that because of the utter inadequacy of our
own merchant marine so large a part of
that commerce was handled by foreign ves-
sels. In the interest of the whole country,
the re-enforcement of the navy, the enlarge-
ment of foreign markets for the surpli
products of our farms and factories, the
increased employment of our workingmen
in the mine, foundry, factory and shipyard,
and the training of able seamen, we believe
in the restoration of our merchant marine to
its former positioti on the high seas. To
this end we heartily indorse the recom-
mendations with reference thereto con-
tained in the last annual message of Presi-
dent McKinley, and urge upon our congress-
men to vote for the enactment of such leg-
islation as will secure to American-built,
American-owned and American-manned
ships the carrying of our foreign commerce.
DEMOCRATIC.
We believe that our interest is greatly
concerned in the trade, commerce, friend-
ship and navigation with the 60,000,000 of
people right at our door to the south of us
in Mexico, Central and South America and
the West Indies, whose trade, commerce and
friendship we should court and cultivate by
all honorable and legitimate methods. We
therefore favor freedom in trade, and favor
a closer friendship and commercial expan-
sion generally, especially with these coun-
tries and peoples.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
We rejoice in the passage of the Dingley
act and in the greatly increased prosperity
of the people which has followed.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hold that the tariff duties should be
levied for the purpose of revenue, such
duties to be so adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country, and not
discriminate between class or section, and
that taxation should be limited by the needs
of the government, honestly and economi-
cally administered. W T e are opposed to the
application of any tariff laws to the prod-
ucts of Porto Rico, now a part of the United
States, as being in violation of the federal
constitution and discriminating against
American citizens.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe in the policy of protection, in
such a system of tariff and internal rev-
enue duties as shall be adequate to meet
all the necessities of the government,
economically administered, and 'at the same
time encourage domestic industries, as shall
impose the burden of import duties chieny
on such products of foreign countries as
come into direct competition with those of
the home market. We favor, at the same
time, the policy of establishing and main-
taining by treaty such reciprocal trade re-
lations with other friendly nations as shall
be best calculated to equalize our trade
with them, to remove restrictions and to
secure enlarged markets for the products of
American labor and free admission to our
own ports for the necessaries of life which
we do not ourselves produce.
DEMOCRATIC.
Believing that the natural advantages
bestowed upon the American people by a
beneficent and all-wise Creator should not
be nullified and taken from them by the
imposition of unjust and unfair burdens,
under the pretext of protecting infant in-
dustries but for the real purpose of con-
ferring special favors upon a privileged
class, we demand the enactment of a tariff
for revenue only, to take the place of the
Dingley tariff law, so called, to the end that
our people may receive the full benefits to
be derived from a large exchange of prod-
ucts, that American energy and efficiency
may secure the whole world for a market,
and that the demand for labor may be en-
larged and made permanent and its remu-
neration increased and that those engaged
in agricultural pursuits may receive a fair
return for the benefits they confer.
VIRGINIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We commit, with great confidence, the
management of our national affairs to the
master hand that has so judiciously steered
the old ship of state from the democratic
billows of discontent and despair into the
republican haven of peace, prosperity and
plenty; believing that the same statesman-
ship which so promptly re-established a
protective tariff, thereby infusing new life
into our languishing industries; which has
placed our monetary system upon a firm,
certain and safe basis; and which, with
credit to American arms, has brought two
wars to a successful issue, can be safely
intrusted to provide the best form of gov-
ernment for our new possessions, coming
to us as the result of an unavoidable war.
WASHINGTON.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the
return of prosperity following the re-enact-
ment into law of the protective tariff prin-
ciples of the republican party.
WEST VIRGINIA.
REPUBLICAN.
Under the beneficent influence of repub-
lican legislation West Virginia is enjoying
prosperity throughout her entire borders
never before known in her history, and not
exceeded by that of any other state in the
union. We are a happy, prosperous and
contented people, in marked contrast to
our condition during the preceding four
years of democratic famine. We want these
prosperous conditions to continue, that our
state, the richest in the union, may con-
UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.
tinue its marvelous development. The way
to continue this prosperity and development
is to continue in power the party whose
policies produced them.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the principles of the repub-
lican party, popularly approved and in-
dorsed at the last national election, and
commended and justified by subsequent
events. We are gratified that experience
neither constrains us to recede from the
high position then taken on questions before
the country nor to subordinate views then
vehemently supported to meet the exigen-
cies of a new campaign.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are in favor of a tariff for revenue
only.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
We point with pride to the passage by a
republican administration of the Dingley
tariff bill, which has restored prosperity to
the country. Under the beneficent opera-
tion of this law the foceign trade of the
United States is to-day greater and more
profitable than ever before, and in this field
of effort the United States is outstripping
all nations of the world. The tariff is a
fundamental principle of the republican
party. Under the Wilson tariff law the in-
dustries of the country were paralyzed.
Under the present law labor is employed at
remunerative wages. Our mines are being
rapidly developed, the wool and live stock
industries have been greatly enhanced and
an increased market value has been placed
upon all our products.

THE LEGACY TAX LAW.
The Supreme court of the United States
decided on the 14th of May. 1900, that the
inheritance tax provision of the war revenue
act, that became a law on the 13th of June,
1898, is constitutional. The provisions of
the act affected by the decision are as fol-
lows :

The tax on legacies and distributive
shares included in the war revenue act of
1898 is graded in two ways, according to the
degree of kinship of the legatee and accord-
ing to the value of the legacy. The initial
rate is determined by the degree of kinship.
A legacy to a husband or wife is exempt.
Legacies to others must pay a tax which
rises as the degree of kinship is more remote
until property passing to strangers in blood
pays 5 per cent. To this initial rate a pro-
gressive rate according to the value of the
legacy passing is applied. Property valued
at $10,000 and under is exempt; exceeding
$10,000 but not exceeding $25,000. the rate is
fixed by kinship. The rate rises with the
amount until property exceeding $1,000.000 is
required to pay the" rate fixed by kinship
multiplied bv three.

Rational gemmating Contentions in 1900.
(Arranged in the order of their occurrence.)
SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC
The first nominating national convention
of the social democratic party convened at
Indianapolis, Ind., on the 6th of March, 1900,
and was called to order by Jesse Cox of Illi-
nois, chairman of the national executive
board. William Mailly of Massachusetts
was chosen temporary chairman and Fred-
erick A. Strickland of Chicago, 111., was
made secretary. The report of the commit-
tee on credentials showed that sixty-two
properly accredited delegates were present,
representing the states of Colorado, Con-
necticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mary-
land, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and
Wisconsin seventeen in all. The first day
was consumed in listening to the report of
the executive board and the appointment of
committees.
On the second day (March 7) Seymour
Stedman of Illinois presided. On a motion
of Mr. Debs, a committee was appointed to
meet a committee representing the socialist
labor party, with a view to a union of the
two parties. After this the national plat-
form was adopted, which will be found in
full under the heading "National Party
Platforms." The convention adjourned.
Upon meeting on the 8th of March, John
C. Chase of Massachusetts was elected
chairman.
The committee on union with the socialist
labor party presented the following report,
which was adopted:
"1. That a committee of nine be elected
by this convention to confer with the com-
mittee of the socialist labor party in rela-
tion to union.
PARTY OF AMERICA.
"2. That the convention instruct its com-
mittee of nine to urge the selection of the
name 'Social Democratic Party' as the most
appropriate name of the united party if
union shall be effected.
"3. That after the conference of the two
committees aforesaid all recommendations
or reports of the committees and all ques-
tions, including especially the question of
party name, shall be submitted to a ma-
jority referendum vote of each party, said
vote to be taken separately by each party.
"Provided, however, that in case any
question other than that of party name sub-
mitted to a referendum vote shall fail of
concurrence, the committee shall have pow
er to submit new propositions regarding
such matters to a referendum vote."
Nomination of candidates was then de-
clared to be in order, and Frederick O.
MacCartney of Massachusetts placed Eugene
V. Debs in nomination for president. In a
short speech Mr. Debs declined, and the
convention adjourned.
The convention assembled March 9, Mr.
Chase in the chair. Mr. Debs was again
placed in nomination, which nomination
was seconded by Mr. Benham of California,
and Mr. Debs was nominated by a unan-
imous rising vote. Mr. Victor L. Berger of
Wisconsin placed in nomination for vice-
president Job Harriman of California and
the nomination was unanimously indorsed
by the convention. The convention met in
the evening, with Mr. Chase in the chair,
and after speechmaking and some minor
business adjourned sine die.
UNITED CHRISTIAN PARTY.
The first national convention of the united
Christian party was convened at Rock
Island, 111., on the 1st day of May, 1900,
and was called to order by William R. Ben-
kert, chairman of the national committee.
The convention was opened by prayers by
the Rev. C. H. Thomas of Rock Island and
the Rev. J. M. Wylie of Evans, Col. The
temporary officers of the convention were:
W. R. Benkert of Iowa, chairman; Wallace
R. Struble of Illinois, secretary; Mrs. M. H.
M. Blair of Iowa, assistant secretary, and
A. D. Martin of Illinois, treasurer. The
usual business committees were appointed
and their reports presented. The commit-
tee on credentials reported as present and
entitled to seats thirty delegates represent-
ing six states, as follows: Iowa, Illinois,
Colorado, Michigan, Montana and Pennsyl-
vania. Mr. Struble moved the adoption of
the following resolution:
"Resolved, That we do now proceed to
the organization of a Christian political
union or party for the application of tin
Christ principle in state and nation." It
was carried unanimously.
The committee on platform and resolu-
tions asked for further time in which to
prepare report, which was granted.
Mr. Martin of Pennsylvania moved to pro-
ceed to give the new party a permanent
name.
Mr. Caverly moved that the name bo made
to conform to the development of the move-
ment in Iowa namely, that it be "The
United Christian Party." After consider-
able general discussion, a vote by ballot was
taken, with the following result:
United Christian party, 20.
Christian political union, 4.
Christian union party, 1.
The chair ruled that this vote decided the
name of the party.
On motion this name was referred to the
committee on platform and resolutions for
incorporation in their report.
After the transaction of some routine
business the convention adjourned to May 2.
The platform committee presented its re-
port, upon the assembling of the convention,
which was adopted and can be found else-
where under the heading, "Platforms of
National Nominating Conventions."
The assembly, on motion, then proceeded
to the nomination of candidates for the
presidency and vice-presidency of the
United States.
The Rev. C. H. Thomas of Rock Island
said he desired to place in nomination a
man who he was confident would lead the
party to victory. A man true and tried,
beloved especially by the young people of
the United States; beloved and respected
by all, Charles M. Sheldon of Topoka. Kas.
Mr. Wylie of Colorado named Thomas
McClement of Morning Sun, Iowa, saying
NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
he is a Christian banker and a man of
thorough business traiuing, competent to
perform the duties of the high office.
D. H. Martin of Pennsylvania said he
wished to place in nomination a man who
would do all in his power to overthrow
legalized wrong, and named William B.
Benkert of Iowa. Mr. Benkert declined the
nomination. Mr. Struble nominated the
Rev. Silas C. Swallow of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Martin of Pennsylvania seconded the
nomination of Mr. Swallow, and upon call-
ing the roll of delegates Mr. Swallow was
declared the unanimous nominee of the con-
vention for president.
The following were named as candidates
for the vice-presidency: The Rev. Charles
M. Sheldon of Kansas, the Rev. J. M. Wylie
of Colorado, Booker T. Washington of Ala-
bama, Walter H. Macpherson of Illinois
and the Hon. John G. Woolley of Illinois.
Upon the mention of Mr. Woolley's name all
those previously mentioned were withdrawn
and he was unanimously selected as the
candidate for the second place. The selec-
tion of a national committee was next in
order, after which the assembly adjourned
sine die. The members of the national com-
mittee will be found among the other sim-
ilar committees. Dr. Swallow declined the
nomination and J. F. R. Leonard of Iowa
was substituted in his place. Mr. Woolley
declined the nomination and Rev. C. M.
Sheldon of Kansas was substituted in his
place. He, in turn, declined and D. L. Mar-
tin of Pennsylvania was selected in his stead.
PEOPLE'S PARTY (MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD WING).
The second national nominating conven-
tion of the middle-of-the-road or autifusion
populists met at Cincinnati. O., and was
called to order by Chairman D. Clem Deaver
of Nebraska shortly after 1 o'clock May 9,
1900, with about 700 delegates present, rep-
resenting every state and territory in the
union excepting Arizona, New Mexico,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Ver-
mont.
The hall was elaborately decorated with
banners bearing the mottoes of the party.
Across the footlights hung a banner bearing
the alleged remark of the fusionists at Lin-
coln, Neb., Feb. 19, when the populist ele-
ments separated: "We have thrown them
over the transom." This was supplemented
with the reply of the middle-of-the-roaders;
"You have thrown the party with us."
After the reading of the call by Secretary
John A. Parker of the national committee
Chairman Deaver made a lengthy speech.
Ex-Congressman M. W. Howard of Alabama
was then introduced as temporary chairman.
Mr. Howard, who had been prominently
spoken of for presidential nominee, deliv-
ered an eloquent address, and aroused the
delegates to continued outbursts of approv-
al. At the conclusion of his speech he ap-
pointed a committee on credentials, which
immediately retired, and the convention
then resolved itself into an "experience
meeting" for the interchange of views on
the work before the delegates.
A speech was made by Ignatius Donnelly,
and Wharton Barker being called for he
arose and expressed the opinion that the
convention should proceed to business, and
he added he would speak later. A motion
was then, at 4:05 p. m., carried for a recess
until 8 p. m.
At the evening session speeches were
made by A. G. Burkhard, candidate for gov-
ernor of Indiana: Wharton Barker of Penn-
sylvania, candidate for the presidential
nomination, and others. All the speakers
favored government ownership and the con-
trol of everything that got beyond the range
of competition. The committee on creden-
tials reported the official list selected by
"referendum" and no contest. The commit-
tee refused to recognize proxies.
R. M. Chenault of Kansas made a speech
in which he said Chairman Howard could
carry that state for president, and a wild
demonstration followed, but it stirred up
the Barker. Donnelly and other men apainst
allowing Chenault to cast 43 votes, or half
that of Kansas. When it came to balloting
the result was disputed amid great disorder.
The report was amended by a vote of 383 to
281, so that the delegates present could cast
the full quota for their respective states,
and then adopted. The report on rules and
order of business, as adopted, provided for
assembling at 8 a. m. May 10, and remain-
ing in continuous session till work is com-
pleted.
The committee on permanent organization
reported in favor of Col. W. L. Peck of
Georgia for permanent chairman and ex-
Gov. D. H. Waite of Colorado for vice-
chairman. A minority report was offered
to substitute the name of Judge S. W. Wil-
liams of Vincennes, Ind., in place of that
of W. L. Peck. After much debate and dis-
order the majority report was adopted.
Col. W. L. Peck then addressed the conven-
tion as its permanent chairman. At 11:22
the convention adjourned until 8 a. m.
May 10.
The convention was called to order at 8:30
a. m., with Col. W. L. Peck of Georgia in
the chair. After some debate on the report
of the credentials committee the committee
on party organization reported, recommend-
ing the following:
"The rules of the party in use are ap-
proved; the division of the country into
seven districts and subdistricts to facilitate
organization; all delegate conventions for
nominating candidates and preparing plat-
form*s to be abolished; instead, nominations
and platforms and amendments thereto
shall be made by direct vote of the political
subdivisions affected thereby.
"Party organization shall consist of a
national committee of three members from
each state, to be chosen by the state cen-
tral committee; a congressional committee
of three for each district, to be chosen by
direct vote at the primaries; a committee
of three from each township or ward, to be
chosen by direct vote at the primaries each
year. The national, state, congressional
and county committees to perform the same
duties as heretofore.
"The unit of organization shall be the
precinct club, of which any voter may be-
come a member by subscribing to the plat-
form and rules of this organization.
"Any one proposing fusion with either tin-
republican or democratic party shall, on th
vote of his club, be deemed outside of the
party.
"The state platform may be changed only
by direct vote of the precinct club, and the
national platform only by the clubs, ratified
by direct vote of the people.

'No salaried officers shall be elected to
any committee.
"Any chairman may be recalled by the
imperative mandate of the league Clubs of
his constituents."
It was provided that this plan should be
modified by laws of states to conform with
said laws. The report was adopted unan-
imously.
Chairman Felter then read the platform
formulated by his committee. Amended by
the addition of the seventh section, it was
unanimously adopted, and will be found in
full elsewhere under the heading, "Plat-
forms of National Nominating Conventions."
Nominations for the presidency were then
declared In order. Prof. J. A. Boyce of
Nebraska named Milford W. Howard of
Alabama. Gen. Phillips of Georgia nomi-

PEOPLE'S PARTY (FUSION WTNG\
The delegates of the fusion wing of the
people's party to the number of about 760
met at Sioux 'Falls. S. D.. on the 9th flay of
May, 1900, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
twenty states and territories being repre-
sented. The convention was called to order
by Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the
national committee of the party, and was
NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
opened by prayer by the Rev. Thomas
O'Gorinau, Roman catholic bishop of Sioux
Falls. After speeches by Gov. Andrew E.
Lee, governor of the state, and by Senator
Butler, the following were announced as
temporary officers of the convention: Chair-
man, P. M. Ringdahl of Minnesota; secre-
tary, R. E. Bray of Oklahoma; assistant
secretaries, Leo Vincent of Colorado and
Eugene Smith of Illinois. After the appoint-
ment of the various working committees
by the chairman the convention adjourned
until 8:30 p. m. The evening session was
devoted to music and the convention further
adjourned to 9 o'clock a. m. May 10.
Temporary Chairman Ringdahl called the
convention to order at 9:45 a. m. The com-
mittee on credentials presented its report
declaring that there were no contesting
delegations.
The committee on permanent organization
reported the name of Thomas M. Patterson
of Colorado for permanent chairman, and T.
H. Curran of Kansas, Leo Vincent of Colo-
ado and E. M. Diesher of Pennsylvania for
permanent secretaries.
In accepting the position of permanent
hairman Mr. Patterson made a long speech
on the issues of the campaign and the duty
of the people's party. The committee on
platform then presented its report, which
svas adopted. The full platform will be
found elsewhere under the heading of "Plat-
forms of National Nominating Conven-
tions."
The chairman announced that the next
business of the convention was the nomina-
ion of candidates for president and vice-
jresident, and introduced Senator Allen of
Nebraska, who said:
Since the result of the election in 1896
was known to the American people, among
:he fusion forces of the United States ther.;
has been but one name connected with the
office and with the nomination at this time.
He is the embodiment of all that opposes
Autocracy, that opposes greed, that opposes
:he exercise of criminal power in public life.
He is in my judgment the most American
itizen of the age. I think he is as an orator,
is a statesman, the equal of Webster and
^lay, if not their superior. He was a
^ebraskan, but belongs now to the world.
Without further discussion, without further
lescription of this magnificent man, I pre-
sent to this convention this hero, statesman
nd orator, William Jennings Bryan."
The announcement of Mr. Bryan's name
tvas the signal for an enthusiastic outburst,
rhe Minnesota delegation hoisted a large
tar having the portrait of Mr. Bryan in the
enter, and the convention cheered again
more vigorously than before.
Seconding speeches were made by Gen.
iVeaver of Iowa, Jerry Simpson of Kansas,
3eorge F. Washburn of Massachusetts, J.
3. Davis of Texas and Senator Butler of
Vorth Carolina.
Mr. Olds of Pennsylvania, "now 86 years
jld, who voted for Henry Clay in 1844, and
s now for William J. Bryan," was next iu-
roduced. Mr. Olds, bent and white-beard-
d, said he had walked 1.000 miles to vote
or Henry Clay in 1844. "I came 1.000 miles
o vote for W. J. Bryan in this convention."
said Mr. Olds, "and I hope you will not
illow me to be defeated as I was in 1S44."
^ries of "We won't!" greeted Mr. Olds as
ae sat down.
Senator Allen of Nebraska then stepped
'orward and said:
"Mr. Chairman, I move that the rules of
this convention be suspended, and that Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan be nominated by accla
mation for president of the United States.'
Amid the din that followed Senator Al-
len's motion and its seconding the speaker's
voice was faintly heard calling on those
delegates who favored the motion to risi
and remain standing. As one man 'the con
vention arose. Hats, umbrellas, flags and
canes were waved in the air, amid deafen-
ing cheers, the uproar being increased by
the band playing "Old Hundred." Some
enthusiastic delegate tore loose a large pic-
ture of Mr. Bryan hanging in front of the
speaker's chair and hoisted it to the table,
where, cheering for Bryan, he held it while
the convention applauded frantically.
"I announce the nomination by unanimous
vote of William Jennings Bryan for presi-
dent of the United States," said Chairman
Patterson as soon as he could be heard.
Another cheer greeted this announcement.
The nomination of Mr. Towne was accom-
plished only after a sharp struggle of sev-
eral hours' duration. An effort was made to
have the question of nominating a vice-
presidential candidate referred to a com-
mittee which would confer with the demo-
crats and silver republicans in their na-
tional conventions at Kansas City, Mo., on
the 4th of July, but a motion to this effect
was defeated by a vote of 268 to 492.
On motion the convention proceeded to
the nomination of a candidate for vice-
president. The following named were placed
in nomination: Howard S. Taylor of Illi-
nois, J. H. Davis of Texas, John Brieden-
thal of Kansas, E. Gerry Brown of Mas-
sachusetts, Charles A. Towne of Minne-
sota, John J. Lentz of Ohio and T. P.
Ryndes of Pennsylvania. The names of all
the candidates were withdrawn except those
of Towne and Lentz. The Montana delega-
tion, which had presented the name of 3u.r.
Lentz, was asked to withdraw it. but de-
clined to do so. Mr. Schilling of Wisconsin
then moved that the rules of the convention
be suspended and that Charles A. Towne be
declared the vice-presidential nominee of
the convention by acclamation, which was
carried, the only votes in the negative being
the 4 cast by the Montana delegation.
The regular order was then called for, and
the convention proceeded to the considera-
tion of the reorganization of the national
committee.
Mr. Washburn of Massachusetts made a
strong appeal for three national committee-
men from each state. After some debate
the convention by an almost unanimous vote
concurred and the state delegations at once
proceeded to select their committeemen.
(The names so selected will be found under
the heading "Political Committees.")
A resolution of condolence on the death of
the Hon. H. E. Taubeneck of Illinois, late
chairman of the populist national commit-
tee, was passed, as was also a resolution of
thanks to Chairman Patterson, the secre-
taries of the convention and National Chair-
man Marion Butler. Thanks were also
tendered the city of Sioux Falls for its en-
tertainment of the delegates.
Dr. Taylor of Illinois moved that the new
national committee be made the committee
on conference with the national democratic
and silver republican parties, the commit-
tee to have plenary powers. The motion
was carried unanimously.
A motion that Permanent Chairman Pat-
terson, with a committee of his own ap-

pointment. and Temporary Chairman Ring-
dahl and a similar committee be appointed
to notify W. J. Bryan and Charles A. Towne
of their nominations was also unanimously
agreed to.
The call of states was proceeded with in
much confusion, many of the delegates
leaving -the hall. At its conclusion a mo-
tion was made and agreed to that the na-
tional cominitteemen named be declared the
national committee.
A motion to adjourn was carried and at
12:58 p. m. May 10 the convention ad-
journed sine die.
In August Mr. Towne declined the vitv-
presideutlal nomination, and Adlai E. Ste-
venson of Illinois was nominated by the
national committee in his place.
SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY.
The fourth national nominating conven-
tion of the socialist labor party convened in
the city of New York on Saturday, June 2,
1900, and was called to order by Mr. Henry
Knhn, national secretary of the party.
Eighty-four delegates were present, repre-
senting the states of California, Connecti-
cut, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Wis-
consin and Washington. An organization
was effected by the election of the following
temporary officers: Chairman, Thomas Cur-
ran of Rhode Island; vice-chairman, Wil-
liam Dalton of Washington; secretary, B.
F. Keinard of New York. After a speech
by the chairman, B. F. Keinard of New
York was chosen permanent secretary of the
convention. The various committees were
then appointed and the convention ad-
journed to Sunday, June 3.
Upon the convening of the delegates
Charles Kroll of Rhode Island was elected
chairman for the day. Reports from com-
mittees were presented and that of Delegate
Keinard of New York, the bearer of a
message from the Parti Ouvrier Francais
(the leading and most powerful of the so-
cialistic parties of France), was received.
A large number of communications from
various labor organizations of the United
States were read. The convention then ad-
journed until Tuesday morning.
The report of the committee on platform
was presented at the opening of the day's
proceedings, which recommended the drop-
ping of the so-called resolutions, frequently
called "planks," at the bottom of the plat-
form, and retaining the platform itself. On
the first proposition there was no opposition.
On the second proposition a lengthy and
very full debate followed. Some delegates
proposed amendments to the wording of
passages of the platform, claiming that the
wording somewhat savored of bourgeois
thought or of nativism. The amendments
were all lost by virtually unanimous votes;
and the recommendation of the committee
was accepted.
The committee also recommended the
adoption of the following recommendation
on agitation to the national executive com-
mittee:
"That this convention instructs the na-
tional executive committee to issue for the
purpose of this presidential campaign a
carefully prepared address, reviewing critic-
ally the present economic and political con-
ditions and historically the economic and
political events through which, in the nat-
ural course of capitalist development, theso
conditions have been brought about. In
this document shall be tersely considered
the present state of social anarchy as shown
by the stupendous strikes of the past few
years, and their murderous suppression, the
concentration of capital, the policy of ter-
ritorial expansion, etc., etc. It shall have
in view to supply not only the wage-working
people, but especially the speakers of the
socialist labor party, with summarized but
very clear statements of the position of the
socialist labor party on all questions of im-
portance, including the false issue upon
which the capitalist and middle-class par-
ties republican, democratic, populist, Debs-
erie, Kangarooic, etc. may attempt to
sidetrack the wage-working voters; so that
the work of agitation and education may be
conducted by the agitators of the party,
throughout the country along the same well-
defined and clear-cut lines."
The recommendation was adopted unani-
mously. The platform will be found in full
under the heading, "Platforms of National
Nominating Conventions," elsewhere.
A series of resolutions vigorously denoun-
cing the action of state and national au-
thorities in the affair at Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine, located at Kellogg, Idaho, in
April, 1899, was adopted.
A large number of resolutions in response
to those addressed to the convention were
then adopted, after which an adjournment
was taken to Wednesday.
The special order of business for the day
was the nomination of candidates for presi-
dent and vice-president. Mr. McKeon of
Massachusetts placed in nomination Joseph
Francis Malloney of Massachusetts, which
was seconded by Delegates Raasoh. Shade,
Katz, Curran, Dalton. Wolfson. Billsharrow
and Boland. Delegate Eberle of Pennsyl-
vania placed in nomination for the same
office Valentine Remmel of Pennsylvania,
which was seconded by Delegates Schul-
berg, Lawry and Munro. Delegate Spettel
of Minnesota placed in nomination W. B.
Hammond of Minnesota, which was sec-
onded by Delegate Minkley. Delegate Kret-
low of Illinois placed in nomination John R.
Pepin of Illinois, which was seconded by
Delegate Dinger.
Upon taking the ballot Malloney received
60 votes; Remmel, 17; Hammond, 1: Pepin,
0; absent, 7. The nomination of Mr. Mal-
loney was then made unanimous.
The convention then proceeded to make
nominations for vice-president.
Delegate Eberle of Pennsylvania placed
In nomination for vice-president Valentine
Remmel of Pennsylvania. The nomination
was seconded by Delegates Shade, Alexan-
der, Jacobson, Schulberg, Thomas. Carless
(in the name of the whole New Jersey dele-
gation) and Billsbarrow.
Delegate Spettel of Minnesota placed in
nomination for vice-president W. B. Ham-
mond of Minnesota. The nomination was
seconded by Delegate Richards.
Delegate Kretlow of Illinois placed in
nomination for vice-president John R. Pepin

by Delegate Forker.
The convention proceeded to ballot by roll

call, and the vote stood as follows: Rem-
ine'l, 69; Hauiinond, 7; Pepiii, 2; absent, 7.
After the reading of several congratula-
tory telegrams and speeches by the candi-
dates, the convention adjourned to Thurs-
day.
The day was devoted to remarks and the
discussion of resolutions denouncing trade
unionism pure and simple, which were
adopted. The chief of these denned the at-
titude of the socialist labor party toward
trade unionism, and were as follows:
"1. We conceive the genuine trade union
as a militant labor body, originating from
the very nature of the class struggle under
capitalism instituted to resist the degrada-
tion and promote the elevation, not only of
its own members, but of the whole working
class, and destined, therefore, to act an
important part in the war for social eman-
cipation.
"Since capitalism, with its consequent
wage system, rests upon institutions essen-
tially political, genuine trade unionism, as
above denned, not only must fight in the
shop every workday the individual exploit-
ers of labor, but must especially, uncompro-
misingly, at all costs and all hazards, fight
the political parties of capitalism on elec-
tion day. Its chief motto must be: 'No
union card will justify the political scab;
he is a traitor to his class.'
"2. In their infancy the trade unions,
moved by a spirit of class solidarity, were
incidentally led to undertake the relief of
their unemployed, sick, maimed and de-
crepit members, injured and pauperized by
the capitalist system. But as capitalism
developed, steadily increasing enforced idle-
ness, misery and sickness and general de-
moralization, this incidental feature not
only was given more and more importance
as it became less and less practicable, but
(together with the strike itself, that is,
with the sacred weapon of economic de-
fense) was turned by schemers or labor
fakirs into a means of exploiting their fel-
low-workingmen.
"Hence the bogus trade unionism now
known- as 'trade unionism pure and sim-
ple,' from which the natural, fundamental
purpose of union namely, the conduct of the
class struggle with a constant view to the
complete emancipation of the wage-working
class is entirely banished, and capitalism
is accepted as a finality.
"This bogus trade unionism lies impotent,
petrified, motionless, holding the proletariat
at the mercy of the capitalist class, and its
political lackeys, who promote it, bribe it
and use it as a rampart against the rising
tide of socialism. It has forbidden within
its precincts the very politics which it
should encourage and the only ones which it
should permit. It has silenced or driven
away every worker honest and capable
enough to show in its true light the nature
of the class struggle. It has resolved itself
into a close corporation that denounces as
a 'scab' any craftsman to whom it refuses
admission in order to secure for its member-
ship a monopoly of capitalistic kicks and
favors. It has stupidly begged from Amer-
ican capital its protection against the 'pau-
per labor' of Europe, while this same cap-
ital provides itself every year with millions
of 'pauper laborers' of iron and steel, cost-
ing 8 cents a day to feed with machine oil
and coal. It has converted itself when it
had some funds into small middle-class in-
surance concerns and charitable institutions
for the doctoring of its sick, the burying of
its dead and, foremost of all, the re-
munerative employment of its officers. In
a word, it has repudiated the labor move-
ment, blotted out its history and sealed its
own death warrant.
"3. Now, however, rises the Socialist
Trade and Labor alliance, which in its
fundamental principles, final aims and prac-
tical methods realizes our conception of
trade unionism.
"Abreast of the times, watchfully an-
swering the modern requirements of eco-
nomic organization in the changed and ever-
changing economic environment, it is al-
ready a power in the economic struggle and
has won glorious victories that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor or any other fakir-
ridden agglomeration of planless and spirit-
less elements never thought of facing. For
the strength of a labor organization is not
in the numbers of its membership, nor in
the amount in its treasury, but in the
height of its arms and the depth of its
solidarity.
"Therefore be it resolved, That we recog-
nize in the Socialist Trade and Labor alli-
ance the economic arm of the socialist
labor party and its indispensable adjunct
in its inexpressibly incessant, deadly con-
flict between the working class and the cap-
italist class.
"That we urgently impress upon the so-
cialist comrades and all sympathizers the
necessity of ceaseless propaganda in favor
of the Socialist Trade and Labor alliance;
that we expect from them that they will
join the local trade or mixed alliances
which may already exist in their respective
localities and promote the formation of
such alliances where none have yet been
established.
"Let the socialist watchword everywhere
be: 'Down with Trade Unionism Pure and
Simple.' 'Away with the Labor Fakirs.'
'Onward with the Socialist Trade and La-
bor Alliance, and the Socialist Labor
Party!' 'Onward with the Social Revolu-
tion!' "
The convention then adjourned to Friday.
The closing day was devoted to routine
matters, and the convention adjourned sine
die at 2 o'clock p. m. *
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The twelfth national nominating conven-
tion of the republican party convened at
Philadelphia. Pa., on Tuesday, the 19th day
of June, 1900, at 12:37 o'clock p. m., and
was called to order by Senator M. A. Hanna
of Ohio, chairman of the national commit-
tee, who, on behalf of the committee,
named Senator E. O. Wolcott of Colorado
as the temporary chairman of the conven-
tion. Upon taking the chair Mr. Wolcott
made a long speech, in which he reviewed
the policy and acts of the administration of
President McKinley. Prayer was offered by
the Rev. Dr. J. G. Bolton of Philadelphia,
and at its conclusion the official call for the
convention was read by Secretary Dick of
the national committee. The following
were announced as the temporary officers of
the convention:
Temporary Secretary Charles W. Johnson
of Minnesota.
Assistant Secretaries^John R. Malloy of

When the lists had been read Ropresonta-
tive Cannon of Illinois was recognized to
move an adjournment until the 20th.
The proceedings opened Wednesday morn-
ing with Senator Wolcott in the chair. Aft-
er the opening prayer by the Rev. Charles
M. Boswell, the committee on credentials
presented its report, which was adopted
unanimously without debate. The -com-
mittee on permanent organization reported
in favor of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
for permanent chairman, and that the tem-
porary officers be made the permanent offi-
cials of the convention, which report was
unanimously adopted. On taking the chair
Senator Lodge made a speech nearly an
hour in length.
The report of the committee on rules was
then presented, which formed tlu basis of a
sharp discussion. An aniendmc nt was of-
fered by Mr. Quay of IVn is.vlvania which
proposed to change the b. sis of representa-
tion in the national convention from the sev-
eral states by giving one delegate for each
10,000 republican votes cast at the previous
presidential ' election, with four delegates-
at-large for each state. This amendment
raised a strong opposition among the dele-
gates from the southern states, and after
some debate the subject was postponed to
the following day for further consideration,
the remainder of the rules being adopted as
reported.
The report of the committee on resolutions
was next in order and the chairman, Senator-
Fairbanks of Indiana, read the platform
and then moved its adoption, calling for the
previous question. The platform was adopt-
ed, and at 3:13 o'clock p. m. the convention
adjourned to Thursday morning. The plat-
form will be found in full under the head-
ing, "Platforms of National Nominating
Conventions," elsewhere in this volume.
The convention met at 10:38 o'clock a. m.
Thursday, Senator Lodge being in the chair.
The proceedings were opened by prayer by
Archbishop Ryan of the Roman catholic
church, after which the ameadments to the
rules proposed by Mr. Quay were taken up
as unfinished business, whereupon Mr. Quay
withdrew them, and thus settled a question
that was likely to prove a vexatious one.
Under the rules of the convention nomina-
tions were next in order, and the calling of
the roll was begun. When the state of Ala-
bama was called one of the delegates arose
and being recognized by the chair said:
"Alabama yields to Ohio." This was the
signal for the recognition of Senator For-
aker of Ohio, who had been designated to
make the speech placing Mr. McKinley in
nomination. Amid a tumult of applause
Senator Foraker went to the platform and
when quiet had been restored made his
nominating address. Speeches seconding
the nomination of Mr. McKinley were made
by Gov. Roosevelt of New York, Senator
Thurston of Nebraska, John W. Yerkes of
Kentucky, George Knight of California and
Gov. Mount of Indiana.
The roll of the states was begun and each
state giving its united vote for McKinley
through the entire list, his nomination was
declared to be unanimous.
At 12:56 o'clock Col. Lafayette Young of
Iowa took the platform to nominate Gov.
Roosevelt of New York for vice-president,
which he did, after withdrawing the name
of Mr. Dolliver, Iowa's candidate for the
position. The nomination was seconded by
J. M. Ashton of Washington, Michael J.
Murray of Massachusetts and Senator De-
pew of New York, who took the platform
upon the repeated demand of the delegates.
The roll of the states being called every
vote in the convention excepting one, which
was his own in the New York delegation,
was cast for him, and he was declared the
unanimous choice of the convention.
At 2:14 o'clock the convention adjourned
sine die.
NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
PROHIBITION PARTY.
The eighth national convention of the pro-
hibition party was held in Chicago on the
27th day of June, 1900. It was called to
order at 10:30 a. m. by O. W. Stewart, chair-
man of the national committee, who deliv-
ered an address in which he gave a concise
history of the party from its inception to
the present time, closing with the predic-
tion that the liquor traffic would soon be
overthrown. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Maxwell
of Greensburg, Ind., delivered the invoca-
tion, which was followed by an address of
welcome by John H. Hill of Chicago.
The chairman announced that Samuel
Dickie of Michigan had been selected as
the temporary presiding officer, and he was
conducted to the chair by Maj. Elliott of
California and Mr. Metcalf of Rhode Island.
Alonzo E. Wilson of Illinois was made
temporary secretary. Mr. Dickie delivered
an address in which he severely criticised
the president for his action on the question
of the canteen in the army of the United
States, claiming that by his action he had
"defied and insulted the Christian people of
the country," and declared that "the war of
the campaign will be on the sins and short-
comings of the leader of the republican
party."
The report of the committee on credentials
bowed that there were present 693 dele-
gates, representing all the states and terri-
tories excepting Alabama, Arizona, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming. The
committee on permanent organization re-
ported the following officers, who were
elected:
Chairman Samuel Dickie, Michigan.
Secretary R. S. Cheves, Tennessee.
Assistant Secretaries L. W. Elliott, Cali-
fornia; Alonzo E. Wilson, Illinois; Mrs.
Prances Beauchamp, Kentucky; Herbert E.
Griffith, Massachusetts, and J. A. Hartman,
New York.
The committee on resolutions then report-
ed the platform, which was adopted after a
ong debate upon the question as to whether
the customary plank indorsing woman suf-
frage should be omitted from the declara-
tion of principles. A strong minority fa-
vored the incorporation of the plank, while
:he majority advocated confining the plat-
form to the single issue of prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage. The subject was compro-
mised by adopting the single-issue platform
but passing a resolution declaring in favor
of woman suffrage independently of the
platform. The platform will be found in
'vrll under the heading, "Platforms of Na-
;ional Nominating Conventions." elsewhere
n this volume. After the appointment of
a national committee the convention ad-
ourned until Thursday morning.
The convention reassembled on Thursday
morning, Mr. Dickie being in the chair,
rhe only remaining business was the nomi-
nation of candidates for president and vice-
president, and Mr. Dickie called A. G. Wolf-
?nbarger of Nebraska to the chair. Senti-
ment among the delegates was comparative-
ly evenly divided between John G. Woolley
)f Illinois and Dr. Silas C. Swallow of
Pennsylvania for the first place on the
:icket, the second place not being regarded
is important. Nominating speeches being
n order, Oliver W. Stewart of Illinois,
hairman of the national committee, nam^d
Mr. Woolley, and made a strong appeal to
the delegates to support his candidate.
George W. Gere of Illinois placed in nomi-
nation Hale Johnson of Illinois; Homer
Castle of Philadelphia presented the name
of the Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow of his
own state, and created a good deal of
enthusiasm for "the fighting parson." There
were many indications that an attempt was
being made to stampede the convention in
Dr. Swallow's interest. In order to check
the enthusiasm of the delegates, William
P. Ferguson of Illinois moved an adjourn-
ment. The acting chairman declared the
motion carried, but the decision of the
chair was disputed and, upon a call of the
yeas and nays, it was declared that the
convention had not adjourned. The roll of
delegates was then called for speeches sec-
onding the nominations that had been made,
but before completing the list a recess of
one hour was taken, the noon hour having
been passed.
At the afternoon session thirty-seven
states sent speakers to the platform, and
nearly seven hours were consumed in
speeches, when Mr. Johnson withdrew his

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The eighteenth national convention of the
democratic party met at Kansas City, Mo.,
on the 4th day of July, 1900, and was called
to order by Senator James K. Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the national com-
mittee of the party. The call for the
gathering was read by Secretary Walsh of
Iowa, and the Rev. S. W. Neel of the Cen-
tral Presbyterian church of Kansas City in-
voked the Divine blessing. Chairman Jones
then introduced Mayor James A. Reed, who
delivered an address of welcome on behalf
of the city. Gov. C. S. Thomas of Colorado
was announced as the temporary chairman,
and made a long speech in which he out-
lined the campaign and the position of the
democratic party on the various issues that
would be presented to the American people
during Its progress. C. A. Welsh of Iowa
was chosen temporary secretary. At the
conclusion of Gov. Thomas' speech a reso-
lution was offered by Daniel J. Campau of
Michigan that the declaration of independ-
ence be read, which being adopted, Charles
S. Hampton of Michigan read the document.
Miss Fulton of New York was then intro-
duced, and sung the national hymn, "The
Star-Spangled Banner," the audience stand-
ing and cheering each stanza as it was sung.
At the close the band began to play "Amer-
ica," in which the delegates joined. After
the cheering had subsided the call of the
states was begun for naming the various
committees, and the following were chosen
as the committee on resolutions:
Alabama J. W. Tomlinson.
Arkansas J. K. Jones.
California James G. Maguire.

After the selecting of the new national
committee, committees on permanent or-
ganization, rules, credentials and those for
notifying the candidates after the close of
the convention, an adjournment was taken
to the evening.
At 8:33 the chairman called the conven-
tion to order and while awaiting the re-
ports of committees ex-Gov. Altgeld of Illi-
nois was called to the platform and enter-
tained the delegates with an address.
Reports were received from the commit-
tees on rules, credentials (the latter recog-
nizing the Clark delegates from Montana)
and permanent organization. The last-
named committee reported for permanent
chairman Congressman James D. Richard-
son of Tennessee, and recommended that
the temporary secretary, assistant secre-
taries, sergeant-at-arms, reading clerks and
special officers be made the permanent offi-
cials of the convention, and that in addi-
tion thereto Lincoln Dixon of Indiana, Jef-
ferson Pollard of Missouri, William Crom-
well of Kentucky and W. F. Burlingham of
Illinois be made additional assistant secre-
taries. The report of the committee being
adopted Mr. Richardson was conducted to
the chair. The new chairman delivered an
address in which he reviewed the adminis-
tration of President McKinley. and at 10:30
the convention took .a recess until Thursday
morning, July 5.
The purpose of the delegates to nominate
Mr. Bryan on the 4th of July was frustrated
by the long and somewhat bitter conten-
tion in the committee on resolutions upon
the question as to the prominence that
should be given to the financial plank in
the platform. The committee was very
evenly divided upon the subject; one wing
insisting that the free coinage of silver, at
the existing ratio of 16 to 1. should be de-
manded and given the position of promi-
nence in the platform, while the other fac-
tion thought it better to be more conserva-
tive and adopt the Chicago platform of
1896 without any specific reference to silver
coinage or ratio. It was understood that
Mr. Bryan himself urged, if he did not in-
sist upon, a specific declaration that should
be as plain and unequivocal in regard to
silver coinage as was the declaration upon
that issue in '96. It was said that the

The convention reassembled at 11 o'clock
on Thursday morning, Mr. Richardson in the
chair. The Rt.-Rev. John J. Glennin,
bishop of the Roman catholic diocese of
Kansas City, invoked the Divine blessing,
after which the chairman announced that
the committee on. resolutions was no yet
ready to report and called ex-Gov. Hogg of
Texas to the platform. He was followed
by A. M. Dockery of Missouri, and after
him Mayor D. S. Rose of Milwaukee, Wis.,
and Gov. J. W. Beckham of Kentucky, each
of whom delivered addresses. At the con-
clusion of these speeches the convention
took a recess at 3:30.
Upon assembling, the report of the com-
mittee on resolutions was presented and
read, and it was then adopted amid roars of
applause and without dissent. It will be
found complete under the heading "Plat-
forms of Nominating Conventions" else-
where in this volume. The next business of
the convention was the nomination of a
candidate for the presidency. Before be-
ginning the call of the roll of the states
the chairman announced a committee to
confer with the silver republicans and the
people's party, then in convention in the
city, and named the following as such con-
ference committee:
George Fred Williams, Massachusetts; J.
H. Berry, Arkansas; W. H. Thompson, Ne-
braska; Charles Thomas, Colorado; D. S.
Rose, Wisconsin; Thomas H. Martin. Vir-
ginia; J. G. Maguire, California; B. R.
Tillman, South Carolina; Carter H. Harri-
son, Illinois.
The secretary then began the roll call, and
at the call of "Alabama," the chairman of
that delegation said: "The state of Alabama
yields to Nebraska the privilege of naming
the next president of the United States."
W. D. Oldham of Nebraska came forward,
and in a short speech placed Mr. Bryan in
nomination. The nomination was seconded
by ex-Senator White of California, Judge
Thompson of Illinois, ex-Senator Hill of
New York, Tennent Lenox of Alabama, W.
B. Moore of North Carolina, Senator John
W. Daniel of Virginia, John H. Atwood of
Kansas, H. L. Fuqua of Louisiana, Blair
Lee of Maryland, Thomas Gopgin of Massa-
chusetts, Thomas E. Barkworth of Michi-
gan, W. C. Baker of Ohio, ex-Gov. Pattison
of Pennsylvania, Gov. Benton McMillin of
Tennessee, T. W. Maloney of Vermont, L.
G. Bohmrich of Wisconsin, John H. Wise of
Hawaii and Mrs. J. M. Cohen of Utah.
A call of the roll of states followed, and,
although hindered by the enthusiasm of the
delegates, it was upon completion an-
nounced by the chairman that all the votes
of the convention had been cast for William
Jennings Bryan, and that he was the unani-
mous choice of the convention for its candi-
date for president. At 8:53 a recess was
taken until Friday Corning, July 6.
The convention assembled at 10:30 Friday
morning, Mr. Richardson in the chair.
Prayer was offered by Rabbi Mayer of Kan-
sas City. The only business remaining for
the convention being the nomination of a
candidate for vice-president, the roll of the
states was in order. When the state of
Arkansas was called a delegate from that
state arose and surrendered its place to
Illinois, upon which J. R. Williams of Illi-
nois, amid great confusion, took the plat-
form and, when order had been restored,
placed in nomination for vice-president
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois. The calling
of the roll continued, and when Connecticut
was reached, its place was yielded to Min-
nesota. L. A. Rosing of that state placed
in nomination Charles A. Towne of Minne-
sota. A good deal of enthusiasm greeted
the nomination of Mr. Towiie. Resuming
the roll call, when Delaware was reached,
its place was given to New York, and
Thomas F. Grady came forward to place in
nomination David B. Hill of New York.
The cheering that greeted the purpose of
the speaker was long and loud, and it looked
as if the convention would be stampeded for
the New York candidate. Such would un-
doubtedly have been the case had not Mr.
Hill positively refused to accept a nomina-
tion if given him. The roll call was re-
sumed, and upon calling the state of Illinois
the place was yielded to Connecticut, when
Congressman Williams arose to second the
nomination of Mr. Towne. He was called
to order, it being the intention in yielding
the place to give Connecticut the oppor-
tunity to second the nomination of Mr.
Stevenson, and the speaker took his seat.
William Kennedy of Connecticut then took
the platform and seconded Mr. Stevenson's
nomination. Through the courtesy of Idaho
W. H. Dunphy placed in nomination J.
Hamilton Lewis of Washington. Congress-
man W. A. Jones of Virginia seconded Mr.
Stevenson's nomination, as did also Con-
gressman McCreary of Kentucky and a dele-
gate from Louisiana. A. Leo Knott of
Maryland placed in nomination Gov. John
W. Smith of that state.
Upon the call of Massachusetts George
Fred Williams seconded the nomination of
Mr. Towne. Minnesota yielded to Connecti-
cut, when Mr. Cumminps seconded the nom-
ination of the Minnesota candidate. The
call of Mississippi brought to the platform
Senator Money, who seconded the nomina-
tion of Mr. Stevenson. Reaching Missouri
Gov. Stone mounted the platform and was
received with the greatest applause as he
seconded the nomination of Mr. Stevenson.
Delegates from Nevada indorsed Mr. Towne,
and Col. Henry O. Kent of New Hampshire
spoke for Mr. Stevenson. Delegate Daly of
NVw Jersey and Delegate Handy of New
York indorsed Mr. Hill. North Carolina
placed in nomination Col. Julian Carr and

The usual formal resolutions of thanks
to Kansas City and to the officers of the
convention were adopted amid great confu-
sion, and then, at 3:21, on motion of Chair-
man Jones, the democratic national conven-
tion of 1900 adjourned sine die.
SILVER REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The second national convention of the sil-
ver republican party met at Kansas City,
Mo., on the 4th day of July, 1900. There
were present at the opening of the conven-
tion 1,351 delegates from twenty states and
territories. The only states east of the Mis-
sissippi river that sent delegates were Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois and
New Jersey. The convention was called to
order by Charles A. Towne of Minnesota,
chairman of the party's national committee,
who introduced the Rev. Dr. Bigelow to de-
liver the invocation. At its conclusion
Stanley E. Parkhill of Minnesota read the
declaration of independence, which was fol-
lowed by the delegates uniting in singing
"America." Dr. Howard S. Taylor of Illi-
nois repeated his poem, "The Liberty Bell,"
after which Mr. Towne addressed the con-
vention.
Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado was
chosen as temporary chairman, and upon
taking the position delivered a two-hours'
speech, in which he reviewed the political
situation of the country, devoting most of
the time to the currency and financial ques-
tions. The chief business of the convention
was to induce the democratic convention
to accept Charles A. Towue, who had been
nominated for the vice-presidency at a con-
vention of the people's party at Sioux Falls,
S. D., at which Mr. Bryan had been also
nominated for the presidoncy. This conven-
tion was hold on the 9th day of May, 1900,
and its nominations were acceptable to the
silver republicans. To this end a commit-
tee was appointed to confer with the demo-
crats to bring about the indorsement of Mr.
Towne's candidacy. Gen. Corser of Minne-
sota offered the following resolution:
"Resolved, That a committee of fifteen, of
which Henry M. Teller shall be chairman,
be appointed by the chair and instructed by
this convention to present to the national
democratic convention now in session the
name of the Hon. Charles A. Towne of Min-
nesota as the unanimous choice for vice-
president, and that this committee be also
instructed to ask in behalf of this conven-
tion the appointment by the democratic
convention of a committee of like number
instructed to meet in conference with the
committee hereby appointed and with a like
committee if such shall be appointed by the
national committee of the people's party."
The resolution was adopted, and the fol-
lowing were appointed as such committee:
Henry M. Teller, Colorado; E. S. Corser,
Minnesota; F. T. Dubois, Idaho; G. A.
Groot, Ohio; J. B. Cheadle, Indiana; C. S.
Hartman, Iowa; Nathan Cole, California;
S. A. Hopkins, Michigan; F. T. Ransom,
Nebraska; D. F. Powell, Wisconsin; Charles
Schenker, Arkansas; J. E. Fleming, New
Jersey; H. W. Sawyer, South Dakota.
Committees on resolutions, order of busi-
ness and credentials were chosen. That
upon resolutions was made up as follows:
Arkansas Charles Schenkan.
California W. W. Coons.
Colorado A. M. Stevenson.
Idaho Fred Dubois.
Illinois Judge A. Sample.
Indiana F. J. Van Vorhis.
Iowa Daniel Kerr.

The convention then adjourned until
Thursday morning.
The convention opened Thursday morn-
ing with Mr. Teller in the chair, prayer
being offered by the Rev. Dr. Bigelow of
Cincinnati, O. The session was mostly
taken up with reports of the various com-
mittees, that on credentials occupying a
good deal of time. The committee on per-
manent organization recommended that
Judge L. W. Brown of Ohio be selected as
permanent chairman, H. C. McCranney of
California as secretary and H. D. Stocker
of Minnesota as sergeant-at-arms, which re-
port was adopted. Judge Brown made an
address, and was followed by Capt. Joseph
G. Walters of Kansas and Maj. John
Brown, a colored delegate from Kansas,
after which a recess was taken until 3
o'clock in the afternoon.
The first business upon reassembling was
the appointment of the national committee.
W. F. Burbank of California, a lineal de-
scendant of John Hancock, presented the
convention a silver cup made by Paul
Revere in 1760, at which time he was a sil-
versmith in Boston. J. N. Crow of North
Dakota introduced a resolution to change
the name of the party to "The Lincoln Re-
publicans," which was referred to the com-
mittee on resolutions. The committee on
resolutions not being ready to report
speeches were made by Charles Hartman ot
Montana and Congressman Shafroth of Colo-
rado, whose remarks were not well received
by some of the delegations. He was fol-
lowed by Judge Phillips of California and
J. R. Sovereign of Arkansas.
The committee on resolutions being ready
to present the platform, it was read by D.
C. Tillotson of Kansas and adopted without
amendment. The platform will be found in
full under the heading "Platforms of Na-
tional Nominating Conventions" elsewhere
in this volume. After the reading and
adoption of the platform Senator Teller
made an eloquent speech indorsing Mr.
Bryan, who had been nominated for the
presidency by the democratic convention.
He said he knew every other democrat of
prominence in the party and he asserted
that there was not one of them who had a
ghost of a chance of nomination, nor had
they had any such chance since 1896. The
senator in conclusion placed Bryan in
nomination as the candidate of the silver
republican party for presfdent.
Long continued cheering followed the
nomination. H. S. Hazzard of California
made the first seconding speech of the
nomination of Bryan and he was followed
by Senator Hansom of Nebraska, Lieut. -
Gov. Hutchinson of Idaho, Capt. H. B.
Larson of South Dakota, H. A. Turner of
Kansas, Judge Van Vorhis of Indiana, Judge
Spurrier of Iowa. S. L. Carey of Louis' ana,
Judge S. W. Hopkins of Michigan and VV. T.
Foster of Missouri.
Judge George Groot of Ohio was given an
ovation when he concluded an eloquent
seconding speech, as was Maj. John Brown,
a negro, of Kansas, who pledged the colored
vote to the support of Bryan. The Rev.
S. W. Sample of Minnesota made the final
seconding speech.
A rising vote was called for and every
delegate jumped to his feet, cheering and
shouting for Bryan.
The vote was declared to be unanimous.
W'ebster Davis was then introduced and
gave the convention a brief history of his
trip to Africa and of his withdrawal from
the republican party.
The convention then adjourned until 3:30
p. in., after passing a resolution making
every delegate a member of a committee
to attend the democratic convention and
work for the nomination of Towne for vice-
president.
After Chairman Brown had called the sil-
ver republican convention to order at 3:30
p. m. it voiced its feeling in regard to the
nomination of Stevenson by refusing to lis-
ten to Delegate Lewis of Nebraska, who
favored indorsing the democratic nomina-
tion of Mr. Stevenson of Illinois for the
vice-presidency. Webb McNall of Kansas
moved that Charles A. Towne of Minnesota
be declared the unanimous nominee of the
convention for vice-president. The motion
was seconded by a dozen or more delegates
at once. Senator Teller of Colorado took
the floor and asked the delegates to wait
until Mr. Towne could be heard from. The
question was being insisted upon as Mr.
Towne entered the hall. A delegate from
Indiana informed Mr. Towne that they de-
sired to nominate him, in reply to which he
said:
"I don't want you to do it. I understand
what my duty is in this matter. The silver
republicans have made a good fight. They
have been defeated, but it is your duty to
support the ticket nominated by the na-
tional democratic convention."
Mr. Towne insisted that there was an
issue in the coming election which towers
above men, and he implored the convention
to look at it as he did. He begged the
delegates to remember that Bryan was still
at the head.
Mr. Towne was followed by Delegate
Shafroth of Colorado, who favored the sup-
port of the ticket nominated by the demo-
cratic convention. Judge Van Vorhis of
Indiana also pleaded for the indorsement of
the democratic ticket. Meanwhile great
confusion prevailed. Delegates gathered in
groups on the floor and excitedly discussed
the situation. Senator Dubois moved the
whole question be left to the national com-
mittee, with plenary power.
Amid much confusion the previous ques-
tion was called for. It was on Senator
Dubois' motion and by an almost unanimous
vote was carried. The convention then ad-
journed sine die.
After the close of the convention the ex-
ecutive committee of the party issued the
following address:
"To the Silver Republicans of the United
States: The democratic national convention
of 1900 has nominated William J. Bryan for
president and Adlai E. Stevenson for vice-
president. The silver republican national
convention of 1900 has nominated William
J. Bryan for president and referred the mat-
ter of a candidate for vice-president to its
national committee with power to act.
"Your committee has carefully considered
the whole matter. It met in conference
with representatives of the democratic and
of the people's party national committees
104
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
and went over the ground fully. Your com-
mittee found itself face to face with these
facts:
'In 1896 thousands of voters who had here-
tofore voted the republican ticket found
hemselves so widely at variance with their
party's platform that they could not, with-
out self-stultification, longer act with the
republican party. In that year they found
in the democratic candidate for president,
and in the platform upon which he stood,
complete and sufficient justification for
giving him their hearty support.
"In 1896 the republican party made a pro-
'ound departure from the traditions and in-
terests of the American people and of that
party by rejecting the free coinage of silver
along with gold and placing itself in a
position to adopt the gold standard. This
year it has declared itself unreservedly for
the gold standard. This continues the con-
troversy of 1896. But in addition to its
departure from the advocacy of bimetallism
t has now still more profoundly departed
Jrom the traditions and interests of the
American people by becoming the apologist
for and champion of trusts and monopolies,
and has introduced such imperialistic prac-
tices and theories into the administration
of the affairs of the government that for
the first time in the history of that party its
national convention could not even refer to
the declaration of independence.
"On the other hand, we find the demo-
cratic party has again placed itself right
on the money question; right on the ques-
tion of trusts and monopolies; right as the
champion of the declaration of independence
and of constitutional government; right in
expressing its sympathy for other nations
who only ask 'that which you would that
others should do unto you, do ye even so
unto them.'
"The democratic candidate for president
is ours, our convention named him. Upon
the fundamental propositions above stated
we are one with the democratic and the
people's parties. Impelled by these consid-
erations, your national committee has de-
termined that its duty in this hour is to
indorse Adlai E. Stevenson as our candidate
for vice-president, that the opposition to
the gold standard, trusts and monopolies,
imperialism and all its attendant evils may
concentrate its votes at the danger point
and accomplish the triumph of those prin-
ciples so dear to us.
"It is but simple justice to say that in
taking this action we are following the ad-
vice of our distinguished leader, Charles A.
Towne.
"Let us express the hope that our friends
will lay aside whatever of disappointment
they may feel and join in a united effort to
secure the triumph of our principles at the
coming election.

THE ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.
The Anti-Imperialist league met in con-
vention at Indianapolis. Ind., on the 15th
day of August, 1900. The organization is
officially known as the National Anti-Im-
perialist league, but it has taken so pro-
nounced a step In the domain of American
politics that it may be properly classed as
a political party.
The convention, or congress as it was
designated, was called to order by George
G Mercer of Philadelphia, who presented
the "name of Edwin B. Smith of Chicago for
temporary chairman. Prof. A. H. Tolman
of Chicago read the declaration of inde-
pendence, and the Rev. Herbert S. Bige-
low of Cincinnati invoked the Divine bless-
ing. The day was devoted to speechmaking,
and among those who spoke were Dr. W. A.
Croffut of Washington. Gen. John Beatty of
Columbus, O. ; Judge Moses Hallett of Den-
ver, Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago and

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
Platforms of Rational gemmating Conbrntions in 1900.
(Arranged in the order in which the conventions were held.)
SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
Adopted at Indianapolis, Ind., March 7, 1900.
The social democratic party of America
declares that life, liberty and happiness de-
pend upon equal political and economic
rights.
In our economic development an industrial
revolution has taken place, the individual
tool of former years having become the
social tool of the present. The individual
tool was owned by the worker who employed
himself and was master of his product.
Ihe social tool, the machine, is owned by
the capitalist and the worker is dependent
upon him for employment. The capitalist
thus becomes the master of the worker and
is able to appropriate to himself a large
share of the product of his labor.
Capitalism, the private ownership of the
means of production, is responsible for the
insecurity of subsistence, the poverty, mis-
ery and degradation of the ever-growing
majority of our people; but the same eco-
nomic forces which nave produced and now
intensify the capitalist system will necessi-
tate the adoption of socialism, the collective
ownership of the means of production for
the common good and welfare.
TWO CLASSES.
The present system of social production
and private ownership is rapidly converting
society into two antagonistic classes i. e.,
the capitalist class and the propertyless
ss. The middle class, once the most pow-
erful of this great nation, is disappearing
in the mill of competition. The issue is npw
between the two classes first named. Our
political liberty is now of little value to
the masses unless used to acquire economic
liberty.
Independent political action and the trade
union movement are the chief emancipating
factors of the working class, the one repre-
senting its political, the other its economic
wing, and both must co-operate to abolish
the capitalist system.
Therefore the social democratic party of
America declares its object to be:
PARTY OBJECTS.
1. The organization of the working class
nto a political party to conquer the public
powers now controlled by capitalists.
2. The abolition of wage-slavery by the
establishment of a national system of co-
operative industry, based upon the social or
mmon ownership of the means of produc-
tion and distribution, to be administered
by society in the common interest of all its
members, and the complete emancipation of
the socially useful classes from the domina-
tion of capitalism.
The working class and all those in sym-
pathy with their historic mission to realize
a higher civilization should sever connection
with all capitalist and reform parties and
unite with the social democratic party of
America.
The control of political power by the
social democratic party will he tantamount
to the abolition of all class rule.
The solidarity of labor connecting the
millions of class-conscious fellow-workers
throughout the civilized world will lead to
international socialism, the brotherhood of
man.
As steps in that direction, we make the
following demands:
1. Revision of our federal constitution, in
order to remove the obstacles to complete
control of government by the people irre-
spective of sex.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
2. The public ownership of all industries
controlled ,by monopolies, trusts and com-
bines.
3. The public ownership of all railroads,
telegraphs and telephones; all means of
transportation and communication; all
waterworks, gas and electric plants and
other public utilities.
4. The public ownership of all gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron, coal and other mines
and all oil and gas wells.
5. The reduction of the hours of labor in
proportion to the increasing facilities of pro-
duction.
6. The inauguration of a system of public
works and improvements for the employ
ment of the unemployed, the public credit
to be utilized for that purpose.
7. Useful inventions to be free, the in-
ventor to be remunerated by the public.
8. Labor legislation to be national, instead
of local, and international when possible.
9. National insurance of working people
against accidents, lack of employment and
want in old age.
10. Equal political and civil rights for
men and women and the abolition of all
laws discriminating against women.
11. The adoption of the initiative and ref-
erendum, proportional representation, and
the right of recall of representatives by the
voters.
12. Abolition of war and the introduction
of international arbitration.
The nominees of the convention were
Eugene V. Debs of Indiana for president and
Job Harriinan of California for vice-presi-
dent.
UNITED CHRISTIAN PARTY.
Adopted at Rock Island, 111., May 2, 1900.
We, the united Christian party, in na-
ional convention assembled in the city of
Rock Island, 111., May 1 and 2, 1900, ac-
knowledging Almighty God as the source
of all power and authority, the Lord Jesus
Dhrist as the sovereign ruler of nations and
the bible as the standard by which to de-
cide moral issues in our political life, do
make the following declaration:
We believe the time to have arrived when
the eternal principles of justice, mercy and
love as exemplified in the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ should be embodied in the
constitution of our nation and applied in
concrete form to every function of our gov-
ernment.
We maintain that this statement is in
harmony with the fundamental principles
of our national common law, our Christian
usages and customs, the declaration of the
PLATFORMS OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
107
Supreme court of the United States that
"This is a Christian nation" and the ac-
cepted principle in judicial decisions that
no law should contravene the Divine law.
We deprecate certain immoral laws which
have gro%yn out of the failure of our nation
to recognize these principles notably, such
as require the desecration of the Christian
sabbath, authorize unscriptural marriage
and divorce and license the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
The execution of these immoral laws
above mentioned we hold to be neither
loyalty to our country nor honoring to God;
therefore it shall be our purpose to admin-
ister the government, so far as it shall be
intrusted to us by the suffrages of the people,
in accordance with the principles herein set
forth; and, until amended, our oath of office
shall be to the constitution and laws as
herein explained and to no other, and we
will look to Him who has all power in
heaven and in earth to vindicate our pur-
pose in seeking His glory and the welfare
of our beloved laud.
As an expression of consent or allegiance
on the part of the governed, in harmony
with the above statements, we declare for
the adoption and use of the system of legis-
lation known as the "initiative and refer-
endum," together with "proportionate rep-
resentation" and the "imperative man-
date."
We hold that all men and women are
created free and with equal rights, and de-
clare for the establishment of such political,
industrial and social conditions as shall
guarantee to every person civic equality,
the fruits of his or her honest toil and
opportunity for the righteous enjoyment of
the same; and we especially condemn mob
violence and outrages against any individual
or class of individuals in our country.
We declare against war, and for the arbi-
tration of all national and international dis-
putes.
We hold that the legalized liquor traffic
is the crowning infamy of civilization, and
we declare for the immediate abolition of
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage.
We are gratified to note the widespread
agitation of the cigarette question, and de-
clare ourselves in favor of the enactment of
laws prohibiting the sale of cigarettes or
tobacco in any form to minors.
We declare for the daily reading of the
bible in the public schools and institutions
of learning under control of the state.
We declare for the government ownership
of public utilities.
We declare for the election of the presi-
dent and vice-president and United States
senators by the direct vote of the people.
We declare for such amendment of the
United States constitution as shall be neces-
sary to give the principles herein set forth
an undeniable legal basis in the fundament-
al law of our land.
We invite into the united Christian party
every honest man and woman who believes
in Christ and His golden rule and standard
of righteousness. We say especially to the
sons of toil: Jesus, the carpenter's son, is
your true friend. In His name and through
the practice of His principles you may ob-
tain your rights long withheld and long
outraged. You have the votes necessary to
enthrone Him. His love and principles,
politically applied, will lift you up and give
you true civic liberty forever.
The nominees of the convention were:
For president, Silas C. Swallow of Penn-
sylvania; for vice-president, J. G. Woolley
of Illinois. Mr. Woolley declined and the
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Kansas was sub-
stituted in his place. He withdrew and D.
L. Martin of Pennsylvania was nominated.
PEOPLE'S PARTY CONTUSION WING).
Adopted at Cincinnati, O., May 10, 1900.
The people's party of the United States,
assembled in national convention this 10th
day of May, 1900, affirming our unshaken be-
lief in the cardinal tenets of the people's
party as set forth in the Omaha platform,
and pledging ourselves anew to continued
advocacy of those grand principles of human
liberty until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and proclaim
this declaration of faith:
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
1. We demand the initiative and referen-
dum and the imperative mandate for such
changes of existing fundamental and statute
law as will enable the people, in their sov-
ereign capacity, to propose and compel the
enactment of such laws as they desire, to
reject such as they deem injurious to their
interests and to recall unfaithful public
servants.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
2. We demand the public ownership and
operation of those means of communication,
transportation and production which the
people may elect, such as railroads, tele-
graph and telephone lines, coal mines, etc.
3. The land, including all natural sources
of wealth, is a heritage of the people, and
should not be monopolized for speculative
purposes, and alien ownership of land should
be orohibited. All land now held by rail-
roads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs and all lands now owned
by aliens should be reclaimed by the gov-
ernment and held for actual settlers only.
FINANCE AND COINAGE.
4. A scientific and absolute paper money,
based upon the entire wealth and popula-
tion of the nation, not redeemable in any
specific commodity, but made a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for all
taxes and public dues, and issued by the
government only, without the intervention of
banks and in sufficient quantity to meet the
demands of commerce, is the best currency
that can be devised; but until such a finan-
cial system is secured, which we shall press
for adoption, we favor the free and un-
limited coinage of both silver and gold at
the legal ratio of 16 to 1.
INCOME TAX.
5. We demand the levy and collection of
a graduated tax on incomes and inherit-
ances and a constitutional amendment to
secure the same if necessary.
ELECTION OF THE EXECUTIVE.
6. We demand the election of president,
vice-president, federal judges and United
States senators by direct vote of the people.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES
7. We are opposed to trusts, and declare
the contention between the old parties on
108
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
the monopoly question is a sham battle, and
that no solution of this mighty problem is
possible without the adoption of the princi-
ple of public ownership of public utilities.
The nominees of this convention were:
For president, Wharton Barker of Pennsyl-
vania ; for vice-president, Ignatius Donnelly
of Minnesota.
PEOPLE'S PARTY (FUSION WING).
Adopted at Sioux Falls, S. D., May 10, 1900.
The people's party of the United States,
in convention assembled, congratulating its
supporters on the wide extension of its prin-
ciples in all directions, does hereby reaffirm
its adherence to the fundamental principles
proclaimed in its two prior platforms and
calls upon all who desire to avert the sub-
version of free institutions by corporate and
imperialistic power to unite with it in
bringing the government back to the ideals
of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lin-
coln.
It extends to its allies in the struggle for
financial and 'economic freedom assurances
of its loyalty to the principles which ani-
mate the allied forces and the promise of
honest and hearty co-operation in every
effort for their success.
To the people of the United States we
offer the following platform as the expres-
sion of our unalterable convictions:
THE FINANCE LAW.
Resolved, That we denounce the act of
March 14, 1900, as the culmination of a long
series of conspiracies to deprive the people
of their constitutional rights over the money
of the nation and relegate to the gigantic
money trust the control of the purse, and
hence of the people. We denounce this act:
1. For making all money obligations, do-
mestic and foreign, payable in gold coin or
its equivalent, thus enormously increasing
the burdens of the debtors and enriching
the creditors.
2. For refunding "gold bonds" not to ma-
ture for years into long-time gold bonds, so
as to make their payment improbable and
our debt perpetual.
3. For taking from the treasury over $50,-
000,000 in time of war and presenting it at
a premium to bondholders to accomplish the
refunding of bonds not due.
4. For doubling the capital of bankers by
returning to them the face value of their
bonds in current money notes, so that they
may draw one interest from the government
and another from the people.
5. For allowing banks to expand and con-
tract their circulation at pleasure, thus con-
trolling prices of all products.
6. For authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to issue new gold bonds to an un-
limited amount whenever he deems it neces-
sary to replenish the gold hoard, thus en-
abling usurers to secure more bonds and
more bank currency by drawing gold from
the treasury, thereby creating an "endless
chain" for perpetually adding to a perpetual
debt.
7. For striking down the greenback in
order to force the people to borrow $346,000,-
000 more from the banks, at an annual cost
of over $20,000.000.
While barring out the money of the consti-
tution this law opens the printing mints of
the treasury to the free coinage of bank
paper money, to enrich the few and impov-
erish the many.
We pledge anew the people's party never
to cease the agitation until this eighth
financial conspiracy Is blotted from the
statute books, the Lincoln greenback re-
stored, the bonds all paid and all corpora-
tion money forever retired.
COINAGE OF SILVER.
We reaffirm the demand for the reopening
of the mints of the United States to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to l,
the immediate increase in the volume of
silver coins and certificates thus created
to be substituted, dollar for dollar, for the
bank notes issued by private corporations
under special privilege granted by the law
of March 14, 1900, and prior national bank-
ing laws, the remaining portion of the bank
notes to be replaced with full legal tender
government paper money and its volume so.
controlled as to maintain at all times a
stable money market and a stable price
level.
We demand a graduated income and in-
heritance tax, to the end that aggregated
wealth shall bear its just proportion of tax-
ation.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the savings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
With Thomas Jefferson, we declare the
land, including all natural sources of
wealth, the inalienable heritage of the peo-
ple. Government should so act as to secure
homes for the people and prevent land mo-
nopoly. The original homestead policy
should be enforced and future settlers upon
the public domain should be entitled to a
free homestead, while all who have paid an
acreage price to the government under ex-
isting laws should have their homestead
rights restored.
OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS.
Transportation being a means of exchange
and a public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads in
the interest of the people and on a non-
partisan basis, to the end that all may be
accorded the same treatment in transpor-
tation, and that the extortion, tyranny and
political power now exercised by the great
railroad corporations, which result in the
impairment, if not the destruction, of the
political rights and personal liberties of the
citizen, may be destroyed. Such ownership
is to be accomplished in a manner consistent
with sound public policy.
Trusts, the overshadowing evil of the age,
are the result and culmination of the private
ownership and control of the three great
instruments of commerce money, transpor-
tation and the means of transmission of in-
formation which instruments of commerce
are public functions, and which our fore-
fathers declared in the constitution should
be controlled by the people through their
congress for the public welfare. The one
remedy for the trusts is that the ownership
and control be assumed and exercised by the
people.
We further demand that all tariffs on
goods controlled by a trust shall be abol-
ished.
PLATFORMS OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
109
To cope with the trust evil the people
must act directly without the intervention
of representatives who may be controlled or
influenced. We therefore demand direct
legislation, giving the people the lawmak-
iug and veto power under the initiative and
referendum. A majority of the people can
ever be corruptly influenced.
Applauding the valor of our army and
navy in the Spanish war, we denounce the
conduct of the administration in changing
a war for humanity into a war of conquest.
The action of the administration in the
Philippines is in conflict with all the prec-
edents of our national life at war with the
declaration of independence, the constitu-
tion and the plain precepts of humanity.
FREEDOM FOR FILIPINOS.
Murder and arson have been our response
to the appeals of the people who asked only
to establish a free government in their own
land. We demand a stoppage of this war
of extermination by the assurance to the
Philippines of independence and protection
under a stable government of their own cre-
ation.
The declaration of independence, the con-
stitution and the American flag are one and
inseparable. The island of Porto- Rico is a
part of the territory of the United States,
and by levying special and extraordinary
customs duties on the commerce of that
sland the administration has violated the
constitution, abandoned the fundamental
principles of American liberty, and has
striven to give the lie to the contention of
our forefathers that there should be no
taxation without representation.
Out of the imperialism which would force
an undesired domination on the people of
the Philippines springs the un-American cry
for a large standing army. Nothing in the
character or purposes of our people justifies
us in ignoring the plain lesson of history
and putting our liberties in jeopardy by as-
suming the burden of militarism, which is
crushing the people of the old world. We
denounce the administration for its sinister
efforts to substitute a standing army for the
citizen soldiery, which is the best safeguard
of the republic.
SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS.
We extend to the brave Boers of South
Africa our sympathy and moral support in
their patriotic struggle for the right of self-
government, and we are unalterably opposed
to any alliance, open or covert, between the
United States and any other nation that
will tend to the destruction of human lib-
erty.
And a further manifestation of imperial-
ism is to be found in the mining districts of
Idaho. In the Ckeur d'Alene soldiers have
been used to overawe miners striving for a
greater measure of industrial independence.
And we denounce the state government of
Idaho and the federal government for em-
ploying the military arm of the government
to abridge the civil rights of the people and
to enforce an infamous permit system which
denies to laborers their inherent liberty and
compels them to forswear their manhood
and their rights before being permitted to
seek employment.
CONTRACT LABOR.
The importation of Japanese and other
laborers under contract to serve monopolis-
tic corporations is a notorious and flagrant
violation of the immigration laws. We de-
mand that the federal government shall
take cognizance of this menacing evil and
repress it under existing laws. We further
pledge ourselves to strive for the enactment
of more stringent laws for the exclusion of
Mongolian and Malayan immigration.
We indorse municipal ownership of public
utilities, and declare that the advantages
which have accrued to the public under that
system would be multiplied a hundredfold
by its extension to natural interstate mo-
nopolies.
We denounce the practice of issuing in-
junctions in the cases of dispute between
employers and employes, making criminal
acts by organizations which are not criminal
when performed by individuals, and demano
legislation to restrain the evil.
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
We demand that United States senators
and all other officials as far as practicable
be elected by direct vote of the people.
Believing that the elective franchise and
untrammeled ballot are essential to a gov-
ernment of, for and by the people, the peo-
ple's party condemns the wholesale system
of disfranchisement by coercion and in-
timidation adopted in some states as unre-
publican and undemocratic. And we de-
clare it to be the duty of the several state
legislatures to take such action as will
secure a full, free and fair ballot and an
honest count.
We favor home rule in the territories and
the District of Columbia, and the early ad-
mission of the territories as states.
We denounce the expensive red-tape sys-
tem, political favoritism, cruel and unnec-
essary delay and criminal evasion of the
statutes in 'the management of the pension
office, and demand the simple and honest
execution of the law and the fulfillment by
the nation of its pledges of service pension
to all its honorably discharged veterans.
At this convention the nominees were:
For president, W T illiam J. Bryan of Ne-
braska; for vice-president, Charles A.
Towne of Minnesota. Mr. Towne withdrew
and Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois was sub
stituted in his place.
SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY.
Adopted at the national convention in New York, June 2-8, 1900.
The socialist labor party of the United
States, in convention assembled, reasserts
the inalienable right of all men to life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
With the founders of the American repub-
lic we hold that the purpose of government
is to secure every citizen in the enjoyment
of this rieht; but in the light of our social
conditions we hold, furthermore, that no
such right can be exercised under a system
of economic inequality, essentially destruc-
tive of life, of liberty and of happiness.
With the founders of this republic we hold
that the true theory of politics is that the
machinery of government must be owned
and controlled by the whole people; but in
the light of our industrial development we
bold, furthermore, that the true theory of
110
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
economics is that the machinery of produc-
tion must likewise belong to the people in
common.
To the obvious fact that our despotic sys-
tem of economics is the direct opposite of
our democratic system of politics can plain-
ly be traced the existence of a privileged
class, the corruption of government by that
class, the alienation of public property, pub-
lic franchises and public functions to that
class and the abject dependence of the
mightiest of nations upon that class.
Again, through the perversion of democ-
racy to the ends of plutocracy, labor is
robbed of the wealth which it alone pro-
duces, is denied the means of self-employ-
ment and, by compulsory idleness in wage-
slavery, is even deprived of the necessaries
of life.
Human power and natural forces are thus
wasted, that the plutocracy may rule.
Ignorance and misery, with all their con-
comitant evils, are perpetuated, that the
people may be kept in bondage.
Science and invention are diverted from
their humane purpose to the enslavement of
women and children.
Against such a system the socialist labor
party once more enters its protest. Once
more it reiterates its fundamental declara-
tion that private property in the natural
sources of production and in the instruments
of labor' is the obvious cause of all economic
servitude and political dependence.
The time is fast coming when, in the nat-
ural course of social evolution, this system,
through the destructive action of its fail-
ures and crises on the one hand, and the con-
structive tendencies of its trusts and other
capitalistic combinations on the other hand,
shall have worked out its own downfall.
We therefore call upon the wage workers
of the United States, and upon all other
honest citizens, to organi7.e under the ban-
ner of the socialist labor party into a class-
conscious body, aware of its rights and
determined to conquer them by taking pos-
session of the public powers; so that, held
together by an indomitable spirit of solidar-
ity under the most trying conditions of the
present class struggle, we may put a sum-
mary end to that barbarous struggle by the
abolition of classes, the restoration of the
land and of all the means of production,
transportation and distribution to the peo-
ple as a collective body, and the substitu-
tion of the co-operative commonwealth for
the present state of planless production, in-
dustrial war and social disorder; a common-
wealth in which every worker shall have
the free exercise and full benefit of his
faculties, multiplied by all the modern
factors of civilization. (This is the plat-
form of 1896 readopted.)
The nominees were: For president, Joseph
Francis Malloney of Massachusetts; for
vice-president, Valentine Remmel of Penn-
sylvania.
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Adopted at Philadelphia, Pa., June 20, 1900.
The republicans of the United States
through their chosen representatives, met in
national convention, looking back upon an
unsurpassed record of achievement and look-
ing forward into a great field of duty and
opportunity and appealing to the judgment
of their countrymen, make these declara-
tions :
The expectation in which the American
people, turning from the democratic party,
intrusted power four years ago to a repub-
lican chief magistrate and a republican
congress has been met and satisfied. When
the people then assembled at the polls after
a term of democratic legislation and ad-
ministration business was dead, industry
was paralyzed and the national credit dis-
astrously impaired. The country's capital
was hidden away and its labor distressed
and unemployed.
The democrats had no other plan with
which to improve the ruinous conditions
which they had themselves produced than to
coin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The re-
publican party, denouncing this plan as
sure to produce conditions even worse than
those from which relief was sought, prom-
ised to restore prosperity by means of two
legislative measures a protective tariff and
to
the republican party a commission to enact
these laws. This commission has been exe-
cuted, and the republican promise is re-
deemed. Prosperity more general and more
abundant than we have ever known has fol-
lowed these enactments. There is no longer
controversy as to the value of any govern-
ment obligations. Every American dollar
is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent,
and American credit stands higher than
a law making gold the standard of value.
The people, by great majorities, issued
that of any nation. Capital Is fully em-
ployed and everywhere labor is profitably
occupied.
THE WAR AND ITS RESULTS.
No single fact can more strikingly tell
the story of what republican government
means to the country than this that while
during the whole period of 107 years from
1790 to 1897 there was an excess of exports
over imports of only $383,028,497, there has
been in the short three years of the present
republican administration an excess of ex-
ports over imports in the enormous sum of
$1,483,537,094.
And while the American people, sustained
by this republican legislation, have been
achieving these splendid triumphs in their
business and commerce, they have conduct-
ed and in victory concluded a war for lib-
erty and human rights.
No thoughts of national aggrandizement
tarnish the high purpose with which Amer-
ican standards were unfurled. It was a
war unsought and patiently resisted, but
when it came the American government was
ready. Its fleets were cleared for action.
Its armies were in the field and the quick
and signal triumph of its forces on land and
sea bore equal tribute to the courage of
American soldiers and sailors and to the
skill and foresight of republican statesman-
ship. To 10,000,000 of the human race there
was given "a new birth of freedom," and
to the American people a new and noble
responsibility.
INDORSEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.
We indorse the administration of William
McKinley. Its acts have been established
in wisdom and in patriotism, and at home
and abroad it has distinctly elevated and
PLATFORMS OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
Ill
extended the influence of the American na-
tion. Walking untried paths and facing un-
foreseen responsibilities, President McKin-
ley has been in every situation the true
American patriot and the upright states-
man, clear in vision, strong in judgment,
firm in action, always inspiring and de-
serving the confidence of his countrymen.
DEMOCRATIC RULE.
In asking the American people to indorse
this republican record and to renew their
commission to the republican party, we re-
mind them of the fact that the menace to
their prosperity has always resided in demo-
cratic principles, and no less in the general
incapacity of the democratic party to con-
duct public affairs.
The prime essential of business prosperity
is public confidence in the good sense of thj
government and in its ability to deal in-
telligently with each new problem of admin-
istration and legislation. That confidence
the democratic party has never earned. It
is hopelessly inadequate and the country's
prosperity, when democratic success at the
polls is announced, halts and ceases in mere
anticipation of democratic blunders and
failures.
THE GOLD STANDARD.
We renew allegiance to the principle of
the gold standard and declare our confidence
in the wisdom of the legislation of the
LVIth congress, by which the parity of all
our money and the stability of our currency
on a gold basis has been secured.
We recognize that interest rates are a
potent factor in production and business ac-
tivity, and for the purpose of further equal-
izing and of further lowering the rates of
interest we favor such monetary legislation
as will enable the varying needs of the sea-
son and of all sections to be promptly met
in order that trade may be evenly sustained,
labor steadily employed and commerce en-
larged.
The volume of money in circulation was
never so great per capita as it is to-day.
We declare our steadfast opposition to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
No measure to that end could be considered
which was without the support of the lead-
ing commercial countries of the world.
However firmly republican legislation may
seem to have secured the country against
the peril of base and discredited currency
the election of a democratic president coult
I not fail to impair the country's credit and
to bring once more into question the inten-
tion of the American people to maintain
upon the gold standard the parity of ineir
money circulation. The democratic party
must be convinced that the American people
will never tolerate the Chicago platform.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
We recognize the necessity and propriety
of the honest co-operation of capital to mee^
new business conditions and especially t<
extend our rapidly increasing foreign trade
but we condemn all conspiracies and com
binations intended to restrict business, t<
create monopolies, to limit production or ti
control prices, and favor such legislation a
will effectually restrain and prevent al
such abuses, protect and promote competi
tion and secure the rights of producers
laborers and all who are engaged in industrj
and commerce.
THE TARIFF AND PROTECTION.
We renew our faith in the policy of pro-
ection to American labor. In that policy
>ur industries have been established, diver-
ified and maintained. By protecting the
home market the competition has been stim-
ulated and production cheapened. Oppor-
unity to the inventive genius of our people
has been secured and wages in every depart-
nent of labor maintained at high rates,
higher now than ever before, always dis
inguishing our working people in their bet
er conditions of life from those of any
competing country. Enjoying th.. blessings
f American common schools', secure in the
right of self-government and protected in
he occupancy of their own markets, theii
constantly increasing knowledge and skill
lave enabled them finally to enter the mar-
kets of the world.
We favor the associated policy of reel
procity, so directed as to open our markets
on favorable terms for what we do not our-
selves produce in return for free foreign
markets.
RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.
In the further interest of American work-
men, we favor a more effective restriction
of the immigration of cheap labor from for
ign lands, the extension of opportunities
of education for working children, the rais
ing of the age limit for child labor, the pro
tectipn of free labor as against contrac
convict labor, and an effective system o
labor insurance.
OUR CARRYING TRADE.
Our present dependence upon foreign ship
Eing for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying
5 a great loss to the industry of this couu
try. It is also a serious danger to ou
trade, for its sudden withdrawal in the even
of European war would seriously cripple ou
expanding foreign commerce. The nationa
defense and naval efficiency of this country
moreover, supply a compelling reason fo
legislation which will enable us to recoye
our former place among the trade-carrying
fleets of the world.
SOLDIERS' PENSIONS.
The nation owes a debt of profound grati
tude to the soldiers and sailors who hav
fought its battles, and it is the govern
ment's duty to provide for the survivors am
for the widows and orphans of those wh
have fallen in the country's wars. The pen
sion laws, founded in this just sentiment
should be liberal, and should be liberall
administered, and preference should b
given wherever practicable with respect t
employment in the public service to soldier
and sailors and to their widows anc
orphans.
CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM.
We commend the policy of the republica
party in maintaining the efficiency of th
civil service. The administration has acte
wisely in its effort to secure for public serv
ice in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and th
Philippine islands only those whose fitnes
has been determined by training and ex
perience. We believe that employment 1
the public service in these territories shoul
be confined as far as practicable to their in
habitants.
THE COLORED VOTER.
It was the plain purpose of the fifteent
amendment to the constitution to preven

discrimination on account of race or color
n regulating the elective franchise. De-
rices of state governments, whether by
statutory or constitutional enactment, to
avoid the purpose of this amendment are
revolutionary and should be condemned.
ROADS AND RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Public movements looking to a permanent
mprovement of the roads and highways of
he country meet with our cordial approval,
ind we recommend this subject to the ear-
aest consideration of the people and of the
.egislatures of the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural free
Jelivery service wherever its extension may
be justified.
In further pursuance of the constant
policy of the republican party to provide
Tee homes on the public domain, we recom-
mend adequate national legislation to re-
laim the arid lands of the United States,
reserving control of the distribution of
tvater for irrigation to the respective states
and territories.
ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.
We favor home rule for and the early ad-
mission to statehood of the territories of
flew Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
WAR TAXES.
The Dingley act, amended to provide suf-
ficient revenue for the conduct of the war,
has so well performed its work that it has
jeen possible to reduce the war debt in the
ium of $40,000,000. So ample are the gov-
rnment's revenues, and so great is the pub-
ic confidence in the integrity of its obliga-
,ions, that its newly funded 2 per cent bonds
sell at a premium. The country is now
justified in expecting, and it will be the
policy of the republican party to bring
about, a reduction of the war taxes.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
We favor the construction, ownership,
control and protection of an isthmian canal
by the government of the United States.
NEW FOREIGN MARKETS.
New markets are necessary for the in-
creasing surplus of our farm products.
Every effort should be made to open and
obtain new markets, especially in the
orient, and the administration is warmly to
be commended for its successful effort to
commit all trading and colonizing nations to
the policy of the open door in China.
In the interest of our expanding com-
merce, we recommend that congress create
a department of commerce and industries
in the charge of a secretary with a seat in
the cabinet. The United States consular
system should be reorganized under the su-
pervision of this new department, upon such
a basis of appointment and tenure as will
render it still more serviceable to the na-
tion's increasing trade.
The American government must protect
the person and property of every citizen
wherever they are wrongfully violated or
placed in peril.
THE AMERICAN WOMEN.
We congratulate the women of America
upon their splendid record of public service
in the Volunteer Aid Association, and as
nurses in camp aiid hospital, during the
recent campaigns of pur armies in the east-
ern and western Indies, and we appreciate
their faithful co-operation in all works of
education and industry.
CESSION OF SAMOA.
President McKinley has conducted the
foreign affairs of the United States with
distinguished credit to the American people.
In releasing us from the vexatious condi-
tions of a European alliance for the gov-
rnment of Samoa his course is especially
to be commended. By securing to our un-
divided control the most important island
of the Samoan group and the best harbor in
the southern Pacific every American inter-
est has been safeguarded.
We approve the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands to the United States.
SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS.
We commend the part taken by our gov-
ernment in the peace conference at The
Hague.
We assert our steadfast adherence to the
policy announced in the Monroe doctrine.
The provisions of The Hague convention
were wisely regarded when President Mc-
Kinley tendered his friendly offices in the
interest of peace between Great Britain and
the South African republics. While the
American government must continue the
policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed
by every succeeding president and imposed
upon us by The Hague treaty, of noninter-
vention in European controversies, the
American people earnestly hope that a way
may soon be found, honorable alike to both
contending parties, to terminate the strife
between them.
CUBA AND THE PHILIPPINES.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris the
just responsibility of our victories in the
Spanish war, the president and senate won
the undoubted approval of the American
people. No other course was possible than
to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout
the West Indies and in the Philippine
islands. That course created our respon
sibility before the world and with the un
organized population whom our intervention
had freed from Spain to provide for the
maintenance of law and order and for the
establishment of good government and foi
the performance of international obliga
tions.
Our authority could not be less than oui
responsibility, and wherever sovereign
rights were extended it became the high
duty of the government to maintain its au
thority, to put down armed insurrection anc
to confer the blessings of liberty and civil
ization upon all the rescued peoples. Th<
largest measure of self-government consis
tent with their welfare and our duties shal
be secured to them by law.
To Cuba independence and self-govern
ment were assured in the same voice bj
which war was declared, and to the lette
this pledge shall be performed.
The republican party, upon its history an<
upon this declaration of its principles nnr
policies, confidently invokes the considerate
and approving judgment of the Americar
people.
The nominees of the convention were
For president. William McKinley of Ohio
for vice-president, Theodore Roosevelt o:
New York.
PLATFORMS OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
113
PROHIBITION PARTY.
Adopted at Chicago, 111., June 27, 1900.
The national prohibition party, in conven-
tion represented at Chicago, June 27 and 28,
1900, acknowledge Almighty God as the
supreme source of all just government.
Realizing that this republic was founded
upon Christian principles, and can endure
only as it embodies justice and righteous-
ness, and asserting that all authority should
seek the best good of all the governed, to
this end wisely prohibiting what is wrong
and permitting only what is right, we
hereby record and proclaim:
DEFINITION AND ARRAIGNMENT OF
PARTIES.
1. We accept and assert the definition
given by Edmund Burke, that "a party is a
body of men joined together for the purpose
of protecting by their joint endeavor the
national interest upon some particular prin-
ciple upon which they are all agreed." We
declare that there is no principle now ad-
vocated by any other party which could be
made a fact in government with such benef-
icent moral and material results as the
principle of prohibition applied to the bev-
erage liquor traffic; that the national in-
terest could be promoted in no other way
so surely and widely as by its adoption and
assertion through a national policy and a
o-operation therein by every state, forbid-
ding the manufacture, sale, exportation, im-
portation and transportation of intoxicating
Liquors for beverage purposes; that we stand
for this as the only principle proposed by
any party anywhere for the settlement of a
question greater and graver than any other
before the American people, and involving
more profoundly than any other their moral
future and financial welfare; and that all
the patriotic citizenship of this country,
agreed upon this principle however much
disagreement there may be as to minor con-
siderations and issues should stand together
at the ballot-box from this time forward
until prohibition is the established policy
of the United States, with a party in power
to enforce it and to insure its moral and
material benefits.
We insist that such a party, agreed upon
this principle and policy, having sober lead-
rship, without any obligation for success
to the saloon vote and to those demoralizing
political combinations, can successfully cop;
with all other and lesser problems of gov-
rniiient in legislative halls and in the
'xecutive chair, and that it is useless for
any party to make declarations in its plat-
form as to any questions concerning which
there may be serious differences of opinion
in its own membership and as to which.
ecause of such differences, the party could
legislate only on a basis of mutual conces-
sions when coming into power.
We submit that the democratic and repub-
ican parties are alike insincere in their
assumed hostility to trusts and monopolies.
They dare not and do not attack the most
dangerous of them all the liquor power.
So long as the saloon debauches the citizen
and breeds the purchasable voter money
will continue to buy its way to power.
Break down this traffic, elevate manhood
and a sober citizenship will find a way to
control dangerous combinations of capital.
We purpose, as a first step in the finan-
cial problem of the nation, to save more than
$1,000,000,000 every year now annually ex-
pended to support the liquor traffic and to
demoralize our people. When that is ac-
complished conditions will have so im-
proved that with a clearer atmosphere the
country can address itself to the questions
as to the kind and quantity of currency
needed.
PRESENT QUESTIONS AT ISSUE.
2. We reaffirm as true indisputably the
declaration of William Windom, when sec-
retary of the treasury in the cabinet of
President Arthur, that "considered socially,
financially, politically or morally, the li-
censed liquor traffic is or ought to be the
overwhelming issue in American politics,
and that the destruction of this iniquity
stands next on the calendar of the world's
progress." We hold that the existence of
our patty presents this issue squarely to the
American people and lays upon them the
responsibility of choice between liquor par-
ties, dominated by- distillers and brewers,
with their policy of saloon perpetuation
breeding waste, Wickedness, woe, pauper-
ism, taxation, corruption and crime, and
our one party of patriotic and moral prin-
ciple, with a policy which defends it from
domination by corrupt bosses, and which
insures it forever against the blighting con-
trol of saloon politics.
We face with sorrow, shame and fear the
awful fact that this liquor traffic has a grin
on our government, municipal, state and
national, through the revenue system and a
saloon sovereignty, which no other partv
dares to dispute; a grip which dominates the
arty now in power, from caucus to con-
gress, from policeman to president, from the
rum shop to the wjiite house; a grip which
compels the chief executive to consent that
law shall be nullified in behalf of the brew
er that the canteen shall curse our army
and spread intemperance across the seas
and that our flag shall wave as the symbol
of partnership, at home and abroad, be-
tween this government and the men who
defy and defile it for their unholy gain.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY CRITICISED.
3. We charge upon President McKinley,
who was elected to his high office by appeal
to Christian sentiment and patriotism al-
most unprecedented and by a combination
of moral influences never before seen in this
country, that, by his conspicuous example
as a wine-drinker at public banquets and as
a wine-serving host in the white house he
has done more to encourage the liquor busi-
ness, to demoralize the temperance habits of
young men and to bring Christian practices
and requirements into disrepute than anv
other president this republic has had We
r charge upon President McKinley
responsibility for the army canteen, with all
its dire breed of disease, immorality, sin
and death in this country, in Cuba, in Porto
and the Philippines: and we insist
by his attitude concerning the can-
?h ?
that

vast number of petitions and petitioners
nagainst !t he has outraed and

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
We challenge denial of the fact that ou
chief executive, as commander-in-chief o
the military forces of the United States, at
any time prior to or since March 2, 1899.
could have closed every army saloon, callec
a canteen, by executive order, as President
Hayes in effect did before him, and should
have closed them, for the same reasons
which actuated President Hayes; we as-
sert that the act of congress passed March
2, 1899, forbidding the sale of liquor, "in
any post, exchange or canteen," by any
"officer or private soldier," or by "any
other person, on any premises used for
military purposes by the United States,"
was and is as explicit an act of prohibition
as the English language can frame; we de-
clare our solemn belief that the attorney-
general of the United States, in his inter-
pretation of that law, and the secretary of
war, in his acceptance of that interpreta-
tion and his refusal to enforce the law,
were and are guilty of treasonable nullifi-
cation thereof, and that President McKin-
ley, through his assent to and indorsement
of such interpretation and refusal on the
part of officials appointed by and responsible
to him, shares responsibility in their guilt;
and we record our conviction that a new and
serious peril confronts our country, in th
fact that its president, at the behest of the
beer power, dare and does abrogate a law
of congress, through subordinates removable
at will by him and whose acts become his,
and thus virtually confesses that laws are
to be administered or to be nullified in the
interest of a law-defying business by an
administration under mortgage to such busi-
ness for support.
FOREIGN LIQUOR POLICY CONDEMNED
4. We deplore the fact that an adminis-
.ration of this republic, claiming the right
and power to carry our flag across the seas
and to conquer and annex new territory,
should admit its lack of power to prohibit
the American saloon on subjugated soil, or
should openly confess itself subject to liquor
sovereignty under that flag. We are hu-
miliated, exasperated and grieved by the
evidence painfully abundant that this ad-
ministration's policy of expansion is bearing
so rapidly its first fruits of drunkenness,
nsanity and crime under the hothouse sun
>f the tropics; and that when the president
jf the first Philippine commission said: "It
svas unfortunate that we introduced and
established the saloon there, to corrupt the
aatives and to exhibit the vices of our
race," we charge the inhumanity and un-
Shristianity of this act on the administra-
tion of William McKinley, and upon the
party which elected and would perpetuate
;he same.
5. We declare that the only policy which
;he government of the United States can of
ight uphold as to the liquor traffic, under
:he national constitution, upon any terri-
:ory under the military or civil control of
hat government, is the policy of orohibi-
ion; that, "to establish justice, insure do-
nestic tranquillity, provide for the common
lefense, promote the general welfare and
nsure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
md our posterity," as the constitution pro-
ides, the liquor traffic must neither be
auctioned nor tolerated, and that the reve-
lue policy which makes our government a
>artner with distillers and brewers and bar-
:eeper, is a disgrace to our civilization, an
outrage upon humanity and a crime against
God.
We condemn the present administration
at Washington because it has repealed the
prohibitory laws in Alaska and has given
over the partly civilized tribes there to bt
the prey of the American grog shop, and be
cause "it has entered upon a license policy
in our new possessions by incorporating the
same in the revenue act of congress in the
code of laws for the government of the
Hawaiian islands.
We call general attention to the fearfu
fact that exportation of liquors from th<
United States to the Philippine islands in
creased from $337 in 1898 to $467,198 in the
first ten months of the fiscal year ended
June 1, 1900; and that while our exportation
of liquors to Cuba never reached $30,000 a
year previous to American occupation ol
that island our exports of such liquors to
Cuba during the fiscal year of 1899 reached
the sum of $629,655.
CALL TO MORAL CITIZENSHIP.
6. One great religious body (the baptist)
having truly declared of the liquor traffic
"that it has no defensible right to exist
that it can never be reformed, that it
stands condemned by its unrighteous fruits
as a thing un-Christian, uu-Americau and
perilous utterly to every interest in life";
another great religious body (the methodist
having as truly asserted and reiterated that
"no political party has a right to expect,
nor should it receive, the votes of Christian
men so long as it stands committed to the
license system or refuses t9 put itself on
record in an attitude of open hostility t
the saloons"; other great religious bodies
having made similar deliverances, in lan-
guage plain and unequivocal, -as to the
liquor traffic and the duty of Christian citi-
zenship in opposition thereto, and the fact
being plain and undeniable that the demo-
cratic party stands for license, the saloon
and the canteen, while the republican party,
in policy and administration, stands for th^
canteen, the saloon and revenue therefrom,
we declare ourselves justified in expecting
that Christian voters everywhere shall cease
their complicity with the liquor curse by
refusing to uphold a liquor party, and shall
unite themselves with the only party which
upholds the prohibition policy and which
for nearly thirty years has been the faith-
ful defender of the church, the state, the
home and the school against the saloon, its
expanders and perpetuators, their actual
and persistent foes.
We insist that no difference of belief as
to any other question or concern of govern-
ment should stand in the way of such a
union of moral and Christian citizenship as
we hereby invite for the speedy settlement
of this paramount moral, industrial, ~finan-
cial and political issue which our party
presents; and we refrain from declaring
ourselves upon all minor matters as to
which differences of opinion may exist, that
hereby we may offer to the American people
a platform so broad that all can stand upon
it who desire to see sober citizenship act-
ually sovereign over the allied hosts of evil,
sin and crime in a government of the peo-
ple, by the people and for the people.
We declare that there are but two real
parties to-day concerning the liquor traffic
>erpetuationists and prohibitionists and
:hat patriotism, Christianity and every in-

115
terest of genuine republicanism and of pure
democracy, besides the loyal demands of our
common humanity, require the speedy union
in one solid phalanx at the ballot-box of all
who oppose the liquor traffic's perpetuation,
and who covet endurance for this republic.
The nominees of the convention were
For president, John G. Woolley of Illinois
for vice-president, Henry B. Metcalf of
Rhode Island.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Adopted at Kansas City, Mo., July 5, 1900.
We, the representatives of the democratic
party of the United States, assembled in
national convention on the anniversary of
the adoption of the declaration of independ-
ence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal
proclamation of the inalienable rights of
men and our allegiance 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 govern-
ment, of which the constitution is the form
and letter.
SOURCE OF ALL GOVERNMENTS.
We declare again that all governments
nstituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
hat any government not based upon the
consent of the governed is a tyranny; and
hat to impose upon any people a govern-
ment of force is to substitute the methods
3f imperialism for those of a republic.
We hold that the constitution follows the
9ag and denounce the doctrine that an ex-
cutive or congress, deriving their existence
and their powers from tho constitution, can
xercise lawful authority beyond it or in
riolation of it. We assert that no nation
an long endure half republic and half em-
pire, and we warn the American people
hat imperialism abroad will lead quickly
ind inevitably to despotism at home.
THE STATUS OF PORTO RICO.
Believing in these fundamental principles,
are denounce the Porto Rico law, enacted by
republican congress against the protest
md opposition of the democratic minority,
is a bold and open violation of the nation's
rganic law and a flagrant breach of the
lational good faith. It imposes upon the
aeople of Porto Rico a government without
heir consent and taxation without repre-
sentation. It dishonors the American people
iy repudiating a solemn pledge made in
heir behalf by the commanding general of
>ur army, which the Porto Ricans welcomed
o a peaceful and unresisted occupation of
heir land. It doomed to poverty and dis-
ress a people whose helplessness appeals
vith peculiar force to our justice and mag-
lanimity.
In this, the first act of its imperialistic
rogramme, the republican party seeks to
ommit the United States to a colonial
)olicy, inconsistent with republican insti-
utions and condemned by the Supreme
:ourt in numerous decisions.-
THE PLEDGE TO CUBA.
We demand the prompt and honest fulfill-
nent of our pledge to the Cuban people and
he world that the United States has no dis-
>osition nor intention to exercise sover-
ignty, jurisdiction or control over the
sland of Cuba, except for its pacification.
The war ended nearly two years aero, pro-
ound peace reigns over the island, and still
he administration keeps the government of
he island from its people, while republican
arpetbag officials plunder its revenues and
exploit the colonial theory to the disgrace
of the American people.
POLICY TOWARD THE FILIPINOS.
We condemn and denounce the Philip
pine policy of the present administration.
It has involved the republic in unnecessary
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 liberty and self-
government.
The Filipinos cannot be citizens without
endangering our civilization; they cannot be
subjects without imperiling our form of gov-
ernment, and as we are not willing to
surrender our civilization or to convert the
republic into an empire we favor an imme
diate declaration of the nation's purpose
to give to the Filipinos, first, a stable form
of government; second, independence; and,
third, protection from outside interference
such as has been given for nearly a century
to the republics of Central and South
America.
The greedy commercialism which dictated
the Philippine policy of the republican ad-
ministration 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 aggres-
sion against the Filipinos, entailing an an-
nual expense of many millions, has already
cost more than any possible profit that could
accrue from the entire Philippine trade for
years to come. Furthermore, when trade is
extended at the expense of liberty the price
is always too high.
TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.
We are not opposed to territorial expan-
sion when it takes in desirable territory
which can be erected into states in the
union, and whose people are willing and fit
to become American citizens. We favor
trade expansion by every peaceful and le-
gitimate means. But we are unalterably
opposed to the seizing or purchasing of dis-
tant islands to be governed outside the con-
stitution, and whose people can never be-
come citizens.
We are in favor of extending the repub-
lic's influence among the nations, but be-
lieve that influence should be extended, not
by force and violence, but through the per-
suasive power of a high and honorable ex-
ample.
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 posi-
tion on them, but the burning issue of im-
perialism 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.
116
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The declaration in the republican plat-
form adopted at the Philadelphia conven-
tion, held in June, 1900, that the republican
party "steadfastly adheres to the policy an-
nounced in the Monroe doctrine," is mani-
festly insincere and deceptive. This pro-
fession is contradicted by 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 hemi-
sphere.
We insist on the strict maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine in all its integrity,
both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to
prevent the extension of European authority
on this continent and as essential to our
supremacy in American affairs. At the
same time we declare that no American peo-
ple shall ever be held by force in unwilling
subjection to European authority.
MILITARISM.
We oppose militarism. It means conquest
abroad and intimidation and oppression at
home. It means the strong arm which has
ever been fatal to free institutions. It is
what millions of our citizens have fled from
in Europe. It will impose upon our peace-
loving people a large standing army and
unnecessary burden of taxation and a con-
stant 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 mili-
tary service and conscription. W T hen 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 organizations are ever an ele-
ment of strength and safety. For the first
time in our history and coeval with the Phil-
ippine conquest has there been a wholesale
departure from our time-honored and ap-
proved system of volunteer organization.
We denounce it as un-American, undemo-
cratic and unrepublican and as a subversion
of the ancient and fixed principles of a free
PRIVATE MONOPOLIES.
Private monopolies are indefensible and
intolerable. They destroy competition, con-
trol the price of all material and of the
finished product, thus robbing both producer
and consumer. They lessen the employment
of labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and
conditions thereof and deprive individual
energy and small capital of their opportu-
nity for betterment. They are the most
efficient means yet devised for appropriat-
ing the fruits of industry to the benefit of
the few at the expense of the many, and
unless their insatiate greed is checked all
wealth will be aggregated in a few hands
and the republic destroyed.
The dishonest paltering 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 repub-
lican 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 monopoly in every form.
Existing laws against trusts must be en-
forced and more stringent ones must be
enacted, providing for publicity as to the
affairs of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce and requiring all corporations to
show, before doing business outside of the
state of their origin, that they have no
water in their stock, 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 constitutional power of con-
gress over interstate commerce, the mails
and all modes of interstate communication
shall be exercised by the enactment of com-
prehensive laws upon the subject of trusts.
Tariff laws should be amended by putting
the products of trusts upon the free list to
prevent monopoly under the plea of pro-
tection.
The failure of the present republican ad-
ministration, with an absolute control over
all the branches of the national government,
to enact any legislation designed to prevent
or even curtail the absorbing power of
trusts and illegal combinations, or to en-
force the antitrust laws already on the
statute books, proves the insincerity of the
high-sounding phrases of the republican
platform.
Corporations should be protected in all
their rights and their legitimate interests
should be respected, but any attempt by
corporations to interfere with the public
affairs of the people or to control the sov-
ereignty which creates them should be for-
bidden under such penalties as will make
such attempts impossible.
THE TARIFF.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a
trust-breeding measure, skillfully devised
to give the few favors which they do not
deserve and to place upon the many burdens
which they should not bear.
We favor such an enlargement of the
scope of the interstate-commerce law as
will enable the commission to protect in-
dividuals and communities from discrimina-
tions and the public from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.
COINAGE OF SILVER.
We reaffirm and indorse the principles of
the national democratic platform adopted at
Chicago in 1896; and we reiterate the de-
mand of that platform for an American
financial system made by the American
people for themselves, which shall restore
and maintain a bimetallic price level; and
as part of such system the immediate res-
toration of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio
of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation.
We denounce the currency Wll enacted at
the last session of congress as a step for-
ward in the republican policy which aims
to discredit the sovereign right of the na-
tional government to issue all money,
whether coin or paper, and to bestow upon
national banks the power to issue and con-
trol the volume of paper money for their
own benefit.
A permanent national bank currency, se-
cured by government bonds, must have a
permanent debt to rest upon, and if the
bank currency is to increase with popula-
tion and business the debt must also in-
crease. The republican currency scheme is
therefore a scheme for fastening upon the
taxpayers a perpetual and growing debt for
PLATFORMS OP NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
117
the benefit of the banks. We are opposed to
this private corporation paper circulated as-
money, but without legal tender qualities,
and demand the retirement of the national
bank notes as fast as government paper or
silver certificates can be substituted for
them.
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
We favor an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote of the
people, and we favor direct legislation
wherever practicable.
THE LABOR QUESTION.
We are opposed to government by injunc-
tion. We denounce the black list and favor
arbitration as a means of settling disputes
between corporations and their employes.
In the interest of American labor and the
uplifting of the workingman as the corner
stone of prosperity of our country we
recommend that congress create a depart-
ment of labor in charge of a secretary, with
a seat in the cabinet, believing that the ele-
vation of the American laborer will bring
with it increased production and increased
prosperity to our country at home and to our
commerce abroad.
PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
We are proud of the courage and fidelity
of the American soldiers and sailors in all
our wars. We favor liberal pensions to
them and their dependents, and we reiter-
ate the position taken in the Chicago plat-
form in 1896 that the fact of enlistment and
service shall be deemed conclusive evidence
against disease and disability before en-
listment.
THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.
We favor the immediate construction,
ownership and control of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States, and we de-
nounce the insincerity of the plank in the
national republican platform for an isth-
mian canal in face of the failure of the
republican majority to pass the bill pend-
ing in congress.
We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
as a surrender of American rights and inter-
ests, not to be tolerated by the American
people.
ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.
We denounce the failure of the republican
party to carry out its pledges to grant
statehood to the territories of Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma and we promise the
people of those territories immediate state-
hood and home rule during their condition
as territories; and we favor home rule and
a territorial form of government for Alaska
and Porto Rico.
We favor an intelligent system of im-
proving the arid lands of the west, storing
the waters for purposes of irrigation and
the holding of such lands for actual settlers.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
We favor the continuance and strict en-
forcement of the Chinese exclusion law and
its application to the same classes of all
Asiatic races.
SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS.
Jefferson said: "Peace, commerce and
honest friendship with all nations; entan-
gling alliances with none." We approve this
wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest
against the republican departure which has
involved us in so-called politics, including
the diplomacy of Europe and the intrigue
and land-grabbing of Asia, and we espe-
cially condemn the ill-concealed republican
alliance with England, which must mean
discrimination against other friendly na-
tions and which has already stifled the
nation's voice while liberty is being stran-
gled in Africa.
Believing in the principles of self-govern-
ment and rejecting as did our forefathers
the claim of monarchy, we view with indig-
nation the purpose of England to overwhelm
with force the South African republics.
Speaking as we do for the entire American
nation, except its republican oflBceholders,
and for all free men everywhere, we extend
our sympathies to the heroic burghers in
their unequal struggle to maintain their lib-
erty and independence.
SUBSIDY BILL.
We denounce the lavish appropriations of
recent republican congresses, which have
kept taxes high and which threaten the per-
petuation of the excessive war levies. We
oppose the accumulation of a surplus to be
squandered in such barefaced frauds upon
the taxpayers as the shipping subsidy bill,
which, under the false pretense of prosper-
ing American shipbuilding, would put un-
earned millions into the pockets of favorite
contributors to the republican campaign
fund.
REDUCTION OF WAR TAXES.
We favor the reduction and speedy repeal
of the war taxes and a return to the time-
honored democratic policy of strict economy
in governmental expenditures.
Believing that our most cherished Institu-
tions are in great peril, that the very exist-
ence of our constitutional republic is at
stake and that the decision now to be ren-
dered will determine whether or not our
children are to enjoy those blessed priv-
ileges of free government which have made
the United States great, prosperous and
honored, we earnestly ask for the foregoing
declaration of principles the hearty support
of the liberty-loving American people re-
gardless of previous party affiliations.
The nominees of the convention were:
For president, William J. Bryan of Ne-
braska; for vice-president, Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Adopted at Kansas City, Mo., July 6, 1900.
We, the silver republican party, in na-
tional convention assembled, declare these
as our principles and invite the co-operation
of all who agree therewith:
PRINCIPLES RECOGNIZED.
We recognize that the principles set forth
in the declaration of independence are fun-
damental and everlastingly true in their
application to governments among men. We
believe the patriotic words of Washington's
farewell to be the words of soberness and
wisdom, inspired by the spirit of right and
truth. We treasure the words of Jefferson as
priceless gems of American statesmanship.
We hold in sacred remembrance the broad
philanthropy and patriotism of Lincoln, who
118
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
was the great interpreter of American his-
tory and the great apostle of human rights
and of industrial freedom, and we declare,
as was declared by the convention that
nominated the great emancipator, that the
maintenance of the principles promulgated
in the declaration of independence and em-
bodied in the federal constitution, "that all
men are created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that
to secure these rights governments are insti-
tuted among men, deriving their just pow-
ers from the consent of the governed," is
essential to the preservation of our repub-
lican institutions.
We declare our adherence to the principle
of bimetallism as the right basis of a mone-
tary system under our national constitution,
a principle that found place repeatedly in
republican platforms from the demonetiza-
tion of silver in 1873 to the St. Louis repub-
lican convention of 1896.
Since that convention a republican con-
gress and a republican president, at the dic-
tation of the trusts and money power, have
passed and approved a currency bill which
in itself is a repudiation of the doctrine of
bimetallism advocated theretofore by the
president and every great leader of his
^ y ' THE CURRENCY LAW.
This currency law d?stroys the full money
power of the silver dollar, provides for the
payment of all government obligations and
the redemption of all forms of paper money
in gold alone, retires the time-honored and
patriotic greenbacks, constituting one-sixth
of the money in circulation, and surrenders
to banking corporations a sovereign function
of issuing all paper money, thus enabling
these corporations to control the prices of
labor and property by increasing or dimin-
ishing the volume of money in circulation,
thus giving the banks power to create panics
and bring disaster upon business enter-
prises.
The provision of this currency law mak-
ng the bonded debt of the republic payable
In gold alone changes the contract between
the government and the bondholders to the
advantage of the latter and is in direct op-
position to the declaration of the Matthews
esolution passed by congress in 1878, for
which resolution the present republican
president, then a member of congress, voted,
is did also all leading republicans, both in
:he house and senate.
We declare it to be our intention to lend
mr efforts to the repeal of this currency
aw, which not only repudiates the ancient
md time-honored principles of the American
>oople before the constitution was adopted,
'nit is violative of the principles of the con-
stitution itself, and we shall not cease our
efforts until there has been established in
ts place a monetary system based upon the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
*old into money at the present legal ratio of
-6 to 1 by the independent action of the
United States, under which system all pap^r
money shall be issued by the government
ind all such money coined or issued shall
a full legal tender in payment of all
ts, public and private, with
tion.
out excep-
We are in favor of a graduated tax upon
Incomes, and if necessary to accomplish this
we favor an amendment to the constitution.
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
We believe that United States senators
ought to be elected by a direct vote of the
people and we favor such amendment of the
constitution and such legislation as may be
necessary to that end.
We favor the maintenance and the exten-
sion wherever practicable of the merit sys-
tem in the public service, appointments to
be made according to fitness, competitively
ascertained, and public servants to be re-
tained in office only so long as shall be com-
patible with the efficiency of the service.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
Combinations, trusts and monopolies con-
trived and arranged for the purpose of con-
trolling the prices and quantity of articles
supplied to the public are unjust, unlawful
and oppressive.
Not only do these unlawful conspiracies
fix the prices of commodities in many caaes,
but they invade every branch of the state
and national government with their pollut-
ing influence and control the actions of their
employes and dependents in private life un-
til their influence actually imperils society
and the liberty of the citizen.
We declare against them. We demand tht
most stringent laws for their destruction
and the most severe punishment of their
promoters and maintainers and the ener-
getic enforcement of such laws by the
courts.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
We believe the Monroe doctrine to be
sound in principle and a wise national policy
and we demand a firm adherence thereto.
We condemn acts inconsistent with it and
that tend to make us parties to the inter-
ests and to involve us in the controversies
of European nations and to recognition by
pending treaty of the right of England to be
considered in the construction of an inter-
oceanic canal. We declare that such canal,
when constructed, ought to be controlled by
the United States in the interests of Amer-
ican nations.
ALIEN OWNERSHIP.
We observe with anxiety and regard with
disapproval the increasing ownership of
American lands by aliens and their growing
control over our international transporta-
tion, natural resources and public utilities.
We demand legislation to protect our public
domain, our natural resources, our fran-
chises and our internal commerce and to
keep them free arid maintain their inde-
pendence of all foreign monopolies, institu-
tions and influences, and we declare our
opposition to the leasing of the public lands
of the United States, whereby corporations
and syndicates will be able to secure control
thereof and thus monopolize the public
domain, the heritage of the people.
PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
We are in favor of the principles of direct
legislation. In view of the great sacrifice
made and patriotic services rendered we are
in favor of liberal pensions to deserving
soldiers, their widows, orphans and other
dependents. We believe that enlistment
and service should be accepted as conclusive
proof that the soldier was free from disease
and disability at the time of his enlistment.
We condemn the present administration of
the pension laws.
SYMPATHY WITH THE BOERS.
We tender to the patriotic people of the
South African republics our sympathy and
PLATFORMS OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
119
xpress our admiration for them in their
aeroic attempts to preserve their political
freedom and maintain their national inde-
pendence. We declare the destruction of
ihese republics and the subjugation of their
people to be a crime against civilization.
We believe this sympathy should have
been voiced by the American congress, as
was done in the case of the French, the
Greeks, the Hungarians, the Poles, the
Armenians and the Cubans, and as me
traditions of this country would have dic-
tated. We declare the Porto Rican tariff
law to be not only a serious but a dangerous
departure from the principles of our form
of government. We believe in a republican
form of government and are opposed to
monarchy and to the whole theory of im-
perialistic control.
THE PHILIPPINES.
We believe in self-government a govern-
ment by the consent of the governed and
are unalterably opposed to a government
based upon force. It is clear and certain
that the inhabitants of the Philippine archi-
slago cannot be made citizens of the
nited States without endangering our
civilization. We are therefore in favor of
applying to the Philippine archipelago the
principle we are solemnly and publicly
pledged to observe in the case of Cuba.
REPEAL OF WAR TAX.
There no longer being any necessity for
collecting war taxes, we demand the repeal
of the war taxes levied to carry on the war
with Spain.
W T e favor the immediate admission into
the union of states of the territories of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
We demand that our nation's promises to
Cuba shall be fulfilled in every particular.
ARID WESTERN LANDS.
We believe the national government
should lend every aid, encouragement and
assistance toward the reclamation of the
arid lands of the United States, and to that
end we are in favor of a comprehensive sur-
vey thereof and an immediate ascertain-
ment of the water supply available for such
reclamation, and we believe it to be the
duty of the general government to provide,
for the construction of storage reservoirs
and irrigation works so that the water sup-
ply of the arid region may be utilized to
the greatest possible extent in the interests
of the people, while preserving all rights
of the state.
RAILWAY CHARGES.
Transportation is a public necessity and
the means and methods of ij; are matters of
public concern. Railway companies exer-
cise a power over industries, business and
commerce which they ought not to do and
should be made to serve the public inter-
ests without making unreasonable charges
or unjust discriminations.
We observe with satisfaction the growing
sentiment among the people in favor of the
public ownership and operation of public
utilities.
EXPANSION OF COMMERCE.
We are in favor of expanding our com
merce in the interests of American labor
and for the benefit of all our people by every
honest and peaceful means. Our creed and
our history justify the nations of the earth
in expecting that wherever the American
flag is unfurled in authority hjuman liberty
and political liberty will be found. We pro-
test against the adoption of any policy thnt
will change in the thought of the world the
meaning of our flag.
We are opposed to the importation of
Asiatic laborers in competition with Amer-
ican labor and favor a more rigid enforce
ment of the laws relating thereto.
The silver republican party of the United
States, in the foregoing principles, seeks to
perpetuate the spirit and to adhere to the
teachings of Abraham Lincoln.
The convention indorsed the nomination
of William J. Bryan of Nebraska for the
presidency, but made no vice-presidential
nomination. Adlai E. Stevenson was after-
ward indorsed.
ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.
Adopted at Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 16, 1900.
This liberty congress of anti-imperialists
recognizes a great national crisis, which
menaces the republic upon whose future de-
pends in such large measure the hope of
freedom throughout the world.
CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENT.
For the first time in our country's history
the president has undertaken to subjugate
a foreign people and to rule them by des-
potic power. He has thrown the protection
of the American flag over slavery and polyg-
amy in the Sulu islands. He has arrogated
to himself the
inhabitants o
e power to
f the Philippi
to impose upon th
nes government
without their consent and taxation without
representation. He is waging war upon
them for asserting the very principles for
the maintenance of which our forefathers
pledged their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. He claims for himself and
congress authority to govern the territories
of the United States without constitutional
restraint.
We believe in the decln ration of inde-
pendence. Its truths, not less self-evident
to-day than when first announced by our
fathers, are of universal application and
cannot be abandoned while government by
the people endures.
RIGHT TO GOVERN.
We believe in the constitution of the
United States. It gives the president auc
congress certain limited powers and secures
to every man within the jurisdiction of ou
government certain essential rights. W<
deny that either the president or congress
can govern any person anywhere outside ol
the constitution.
We are absolutely opposed to the policj
of President McKiuley, which proposes tc
govern millions of men without their con
sent, which in Porto Rico establishes taxa
tion without representation and governmeni
by the arbitrary will of a legislature unfet
tered by constitutional restraint, and in th
Philippines prosecutes a war of conquesi
and demands unconditional surrender from ;
people who are of right free and independ
ent.
STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM.
The struggle of men for freedom has evei
been a struggle for constitutional liberty
There is no liberty if the citizen has nc
right which the legislature may not invade
120
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
f he may be taxed by a legislature in which
le is not represented or if he is not pro-
;ected by fundamental law against the
irbitrary action of executive power. The
x>licy of the president offers the inhab-
tants of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil-
ppines no hope of independence, no prospect
>f American citizenship, no constitutional
protection, no representation in the con-
jress which taxes him. This is the govern-
ment of men by arbitrary power without
heir consent; this is imperialism.
SUBJECTS AND A FREE FLAG.
There is no rt>om under the free flag of
America for subjects. The president and
congress, who derive all their powers from
he constitution, can govern no man with-
jut regard to its limitations.
We believe that the greatest safeguard of
iberty is a free press and we demand that
the censorship in the Philippine islands
which keeps from the American people the
knowledge of what is done in their name
be abolished.
We are entitled to know the truth and we
nsist that the powers which the president
holds in trust for us shall not be used to
suppress it.
OPPOSE M'KINLEY'S RE-ELECTION.
Because we thus believe we oppose the re-
election of Mr. McKinley. The supreme
purpose of the people in this momentous
ampaign should be to stamp with their
final disapproval his attempt to grasp im-
perial power. A self-governing people can
have no more imperative duty than to drive
from public life a chief magistrate who,
whether in weakness or of wicked purpose,
has used his temporary authority to subvert
the character of their government and to
destroy their national ideals.
We therefore, in the belief that it is
essential at thi? crisis for the American
people again to declare their faith in the
universal application of the declaration of
.ndependence and to reassert their will that
their servants shall not have or exercise any
powers whatever other than those conferred
ay the constitution, earnestly make the fol-
lowing recommendations to our countrymen:
RECOMMENDATIONS.
1. That, without regard to their views on
minor questions of domestic policy , they
withhold their votes from Mr. McKinley m
order to stamp with their disapproval what
2 That they vote for those candidates for
congress in their resfpective districts who
will oppose the policy of imperialism.
3 While we welcome any other method of
opposing the re-election of Mr. McKinley,
vve advise direct support of Mr. Bryan as
the most effective means of crushing iinpe-
We are convinced of Mr. Bryan's sincerity
and of his earnest purpose to secure to the
Filipinos their independence. His position
and the declarations contained in the plat-
form of his party on the vital issues of the
campaign meet our unqualified approval.
We recommend that the executive com-
mittees of the American Anti-imperialistic
league and its allied leagues continue and
extend their organizations, preserving the
independence of the movement, and that
they take the most active possible part in
the pending political campaign.
Until now the policy which has turned
the Filipinos from warm friends to bitter
enemies, which has slaughtered thousands
of them and laid waste their country, has
been the policy of the president. After the
next election it becomes the policy of every
man who votes to re-elect him and who thus
becomes, with him, responsible for every
drop of blood thereafter shed.
The convention indorsed the nomination
of William J. Bryan of Nebraska, but took
no action regarding a vice-presidential
candidate.

We, citizens of
America, assembled for the purpose of up-
holding the wise and conservative principles
which underlie our government, thus declare
our aims and purposes:
W T e find our country threatened with alter-
native perils. On one hand is a public opin*
ion misled by organized forces of commer-
cialists that have perverted a war intended
by the people to be a war of humanity into
a war of conquest. On the other hand is a
public opinion swayed by demagogic appeals
to factional and class passions, the most
fatal of diseases to a republic. We believe
that either of these influences, if unchecked,
would ultimately compass the downfall of
our country, but we also believe that neither
represents the sober conviction of our coun-
trymen.
Convinced that the extension of the juris-
diction of the United States for the purpose
of holding foreign people as colonial de-
pendencies is an innovation dangerous to
means:
1. To procure the renunciation of all im
perial or colonial pretensions with regard to
foreign countries claimed to have been ac-
quired through or in consequence of military
or naval operations of the last two years.
2. We further pledge our efforts to secure
a single gold standard and a sound banking
system.
3. To secure a public service based on
merit only.
4. To secure the abolition of all corrupting
special privileges, whether under the gnisp
of subsidies, bounties, undeserved pensions
or trust-breeding tariffs.

ANTITRUST AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION.
121
Representatives cannot always know cer-
ainly the will of their constituents, and
>ven where that will has been clearly
iiaiiifested it has been continually disre-
garded.
Legislative bodies, from municipal coun-
ils to the national congress, have been
ontrolled by corrupt influences. Legisla-
ion has consequently been in the interest
if the corrupt few and against the interest
if the voiceless masses.
Under this system the people are dis-
.ranchised on all matters of legislation.
Ihey are allowed to vote for men, but are
lenied the right to vote for measures. The
)eople are governed by laws which they
lid not enact and cannot repeal.
As the result of this system great abuses
have arisen and politics has become a
iynonym for corruption.
The people have seen these abuses, but
being disfranchised on all legislative ques-
tions have been unable to provide a remedy.
They have become divided into parties and
'actions contending with each other in re-
gard to the legislation needed. They have
overlooked the fact that under our system
of government they have power neither to
enact legislation which they desire nor to
prevent legislation to which they are op-
In search for relief the people have turned
'rom one party to another, and have organ-
zed new parties without number.
But all such efforts have been fruitless,
and must continue so to be as long as the
neople are disfranchised. They must be in-
vested with the power to make their own
laws before they can have laws made in
their own interests.
So long as the people have no voice in
legislation it is useless for them to contend
among themselves regarding the legislation
which they need but cannot enact.
That we may have a government con-
ducted in the interests of the people, and
which will provide for the peace, prosperity,
morality and happiness of the entire nation,
we must have a government which is in
fact of the people, by the people and for
the people, and in which the people shall rule.
We therefore, reserving to ourselves the
right to our individual opinions on all
questions of legislation, unite for the accom-
plishment of this end the enfranchisement
of the American people and the establish-
ment of a government In which the will of
the people shall be supreme. And to this
do pledge our united labors.
And we invite all persons who believe in
the principles of liberty and the declaration
of independence to unite in support of the
following platform:
Direct legislation under the system known
as the initiative and referendum.
Under the "initiative" the people can
compel the submission to themselves of any
desired law, when, if it receives a majority
of the votes cast, it is thereby enacted.
Under the "referendum" the people can
compel the submission to themselves of any
law which has been adopted by any legisla-
tive body, when, if such law fails to receive
a majority of the votes cast, it will bt
thereby rejected.
ANTITRUST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Toward the close of the first session of
the LVIth congress two measures were in-
troduced having for their object the man-
agement of monopolies. On the 15th of
March, 1900, George W. Ray (rep.) of tho
26th district of New York introduced a
joint resolution providing for an amend-
ment of the constitution of the United
States for the regulation of trusts. The
resolution was as follows:
"Section 1. All powers conferred by this
article shall extend to the several states,
the territories, the District of Columbia,
and all territory under the sovereignty- and
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States.
"Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to de-
fine, regulate, control, prohibit or dissolve
trusts, monopolies or combinations, whether
existing in the form of a corporation or
otherwise. The several states may continue
to exercise such power in any manner not
in conflict with the laws of the United
States.
"Sec. 3. Congress shall have power to en-
force the provisions of this article by
appropriate legislation."
The amendment was referred to a house
committee, by which it was adopted by a
majority of the members, all the republic-
ans favoring and ail the democrats oppos-
ing it. On the 15th of May it was sub-
mitted to the house, together with a bill
amendatory of the Sherman act of 1890. On
the 31st of May, 1900, the joint resolution,
together with the amendment to the act of
1890, came up in the house, and June 1 and
2 were designated as the days upon which
a vote should be taken upon both measures
This decision met some opposition from the
democrats on the ground that the attempt
was being made to force through an im
portant measure without time for a proper
discussion of its features, the democratic
leader of the house, Mr. Richardson of Ten
nessee, expressing the hope that his party
would unanimously oppose the bill upon tha
ground. The republicans took the position
that the measures were not new and tha
sufficient time hd elapsed to enable anj
one to decide whether or not he desired to
support them.
The joint resolution came up in the hous
on the 1st of June, and a vote was take
upon its adoption. The vote stood 154 fo
the amendment to 131 against it. As a two
thirds affirmative was necessary for it
adoption the resolution was lost. Th
democrats who voted for the resolutio
were Campbell of Montana, Naphen an<
Thayer of Massachusetts, Scudder of Ne^v
York and Sibley of Pennsylvania five in all
The republicans who voted against th
resolution were Loud of California and Me
Call of Massachusetts two in all.
The bill amendatory of the Sherman law
of 1890 then came up and passed the hous
with only one dissenting vote that of Man
of Illinois.
The subject will be taken up at the nex
session of congress, which met on the 3d o
December, 1900. and is quite likely to re
suit in an act that will receive the sanctio
of the president.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS.
THE CASES OF SENATORS CLARK OF MONTANA AND QUAY OF PENNSYLVANIA
AND REPRESENTATIVE ROBERTS OF UTAH.
Three cases of more than usual impor-
tance have occupied a no small portion of
the time of the members of the senate and
house since the opening of the first session
of the LVIth congress, and have attracted
a good deal of attention outside of the
states directly interested in the action of
the two houses of congress. The first is
that of Senator William A. Clark, ~who was
elected to the United States senate from
Montana to succeed Lee Mantle, whose term
of office expired on the 3d of March, 1899.
SENATOR CLARK'S CASE.
The legislature of the state of Montana
was overwhelmingly in opposition to the re-
publican party being, on joint ballot, re-
publican, 16; democrats, 51, and populists,
24. After a bitter contest in the legislature,
Mr. Clark was elected on the 28th of Janu-
ary, 1899, having received 54 votes (of which
11 were republicans) to 27 for Mr. Conrad.
Before this result was reached the legisla-
ture, on the 9th of January, appointed a
committee to investigate charges of bribery
and corruption that had been made against
the supporters of Mr. Clark, and a demand
was made upon the grand jury to carry on
a legal examination of the evidence that
was offered in support of the charges. In
response to this request the grand jury of
Helena began its inquiry on the 14 ^h of
January, and on the 26th made its report to
the effect that no evidence had been offered
upon which a true bill against Mr. Clark, or
his supporters, could be based. The demo-
crats in the legislature were divided into
two factions one led by Mr. Clark and the
other by Mr. Daly. Between the two men
there was the most bitter enmity, which
was shared by the followers of each. No
sooner was the election over, and Mr. Clark
seated in the senate, than the strife that
had waged at Helena was transferred to
Washington, and the senate was urged to
declare Mr. Clark not to be entitled to his
seat as senator from Montana. Mr. Clark,
however, was sworn in as senator, but the
case was taken up by the senate committee
on elections, and testimony was presented
from Feb. 16 to Feb. 26, 1900, when it was
In his examination Mr. Clark admitted
that he had at different times expended for
political purposes, while a candidate for the
senate, sums of $35,000, $20,000, $40,000 and
$20,500, but declared that such expenditures
were not made for the purchase of votes,
but for strictly legitimate purposes, in
order to circumvent the efforts of his oppo-
nents in the democratic party, and of Mr.
Daly, who was the leader against him. Air.
Clark further admitted that he had paid to
three of his active political supporters the
sum of $5,000 each for their services. He,
however, denied that these sums should be
included as political expenses, but declared
that they were gifts by which he expressed
his appreciation for the services they had
rendered him. He asserted that he had
been careful, throughout the entire contest,
to do nothing that could be considered as
illegal.
Dr. Tracy, who it was declared was the
emissary between the senator and the Su-
preme court of Montana, upon his examina-
tion admitted that he had offered Mr. Jus-
tice Hunt the sum of $5,000 for his decision
against the disbarment of Mr. W T ellcome,
but he declared he was not in earnest in
making the proposal and merely desired "to
test Justice Hunt's ability to withstand the
corrupting influence of money." In the
same manner he explained an offer of money
made by him to Mr. Nolan, the attorney-
general of Montana. John B Wellcome
testified that he had expended fur Mr. Clark
from $20,000 to $25,000, but affirmed that not
a dollar had been paid to any member of the
legislature for the purpose of influencing
his vote.
On the other hand, Marcus Daly, who led
the fight against Mr. Clark, admitted that
he had contributed from $20,000 to $25,000 to
prosecute the case against the senator and
to the expenses of the Wellcome disbarment
case.
On the 23d of April, 1900, Mr. Chandler of
the senate committee on elections sub-
mitted to that body its report on the case
of Senator Clark, of which the following is
a synopsis:
SENATE BEPORT.
"The finding of the committee is that the
election to the senate of William A. Clark
of Montana is null and void on account of
briberies, attempted briberies and corrupt
practices by his agents and of violation of
the laws of Montana defining and punishing
crimes against the elective franchise.
"In view of this finding the committee re-
ports and unanimously recommends the
adoption by the senate of the following reso-
lution:
" 'Resolved, That William A. Clark was
not duly and legally elected to a seat in
the senate of the United States by the leg-
islature of the state of Montana.' "
The report concludes with a strong recom-
mendation for early consideration of the
case, as follows:
"The senate should, as a duty to itself
and to the country, demonstrate by its ac-
tion in this case that seats in the United
States senate procured as Senator Clark's
has been procured cannot be retained by the
deliberate judgment of the senate. The
senate also owes a duty to the people of
Montana, who, conscious of the bad repute
into which the state had fallen by reason of
vast expenditures of money in connection
with its elections, manifested such a public
sentiment that the legislature of 1895 passed
a statute which, if obeyed, would have re-
deemed the state from its bad name.
"For the direct and gross violation of that
statute and the consequent discredit which
continues to rest upon the state, Montana
has a right to expect a prompt and decisive
remedy from the action of the senate upon
the report of this committee."
The committee states that its finding is
made in view of certain admitted or undis-
puted facts, with their attendant circum-
stances, appearing in the testimony taken
by the committee, and these are enumerated
under fifteen heads.
The report asserts that Senator Clark has
been constantly a candidate for office and
gives his record in that respect and notes
the organization of a committee in his in-
CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS.

terest in the summer of 1898, after consulta-
tion with his friends in Butte.
"To this committee," the report says, "he
gave unlimited authority to spend money
which he agreed to furnish; an estimate,
however, being made that at least $35,000
would be necessary to secure the state con-
vention and that $75,00* might be needed to
secure the state legislature.
"In the canvass which ensued, the ap-
proximate expenditures admitted by the
various members of his committee and their
assistants were as follows: By Charles W.
Clark, $25,000; by McDermott, $22,000; by
Davidson, agent, $22,300; by Wellcome, $25 -
000; by Steele, $11,000; by Corbett, $a,000;
by Whitmore, $4,600; by Cooper $2,900,
mainly furnished by Charles W. Clark; and
the amount of these expenditures Senator
Clark himself paid to his son. The advances
and payments made by Senator Clark to his
committee and agents, as admitted by him,
amounted to about $139,000, of which sum
Charles W. Clark received from him on Aug.
12, 1898, $35,000; Oct. 17, $20,000; Nov. 23,
140.000, and Feb. 13, 1900, $20,592: and in
addition to this $139,000 Senator Clark paid
$5,000 to McDermott, one of his agents;
$5 000 to Wellcome, his attorney, and $5,000
to'E. C. Day, a member of the legislature."
None of the members of his committee
or their assistants made the sworn returns
required by law, nor did Senator Clark him-
self make any return.
Sections 6 to 15 deal with the business
transactions of Mr. Clark and his repre-
sentatives with members of the legislature,
including the purchase of Representative
McLaughlin's property, the tender of $6,000
to Representative Woods to raise the mort-
gage on his ranch and the subsequent sale
of the ranch; the establishment of a bank
after the adjournment of the legislature
largely through the efforts of Senator Tir-
ney and Representatives Eversole and Shev-
lin of Broadwater county; the sale of lots
and other property in Jefferson county to a
representative of Mr. Clark by Senator
Warner; the conduct of Messrs. Garr, Gei-
ger, Fine, Beasley and Bywater and the
present of $5,000 to Representative Day
after the adjournment of the legislature.
The reference to Mr. Day's connection
with Mr. Clark is as follows: "E. C. Day
was Senator Clark's candidate for speaker
and was defeated in the democratic caucus,
receiving 25 votes against 30 votes for Mr.
Stiff. Mr. Day was the leader of Mr. Clark's
forces in the legislature 'during all the bal-
lotings after the second. On Feb. 13 Sen-
ator Clark personally wrote a letter direct-
ing that $5,000 should be given Mr. Day for
his services in the legislature and as a re-
tainer as counsel in the future. This
amount was received by Mr. Day through
Mr. Wellcome and Mr. Davidson, on March
23, the day after the legislature adjourned."
On the 15th day of May, 1900, Senator Clark
read a letter to the senate, bearing date
May 11, in which he resigned his seat as
senator from Montana. By this act the
action of the senate, adopting the foregoing
report of the committee and declaring the
seat vacant, was forestalled and such action
was postponed.
The letter of resignation was as follows:
"Washington, May 11, 1900. To His Ex-
cellency, the Governor of Montana. Helena,
Mont. Dear Sir: The sixth legislative as-
sembly on the 8th day of January, 1899, elect-
ed me to represent the state of Montana in
the senate of the United States for the term
commencing OH the 4th day of March, 1899.
Under the authority of the credentials
signed by the governor of Montana I entered
upon the discharge of the duties of that
position on the first Monday of last Decem-
ber, after qualifying by taking the oath of
office prescribed by law.
"On the 4th day of December, 1899, two
memorials were presented to the senate of
the United States, praying that my right
and title to continue to act as a senator un-
der the credentials which certified to my
election should be investigated.
"These memorials, with the accompany-
ing papers, were referred to the standing
committee of that body. After a protracted
investigation of the allegations of said
memorialists the committee has submitted
its conclusion to the senate, in which it
finds that the seat which I now occupy un-
der the credentials issued by authority of
the vote taken in the joint assembly of the
legislature on the 28th day of January, 1899,
should be declared vacant.
"None of the charges affecting my per-
sonal honor, or which alleged that I had
personally been guilty of corrupt practices,
has been sustained by the finding of the
committee.
"Conscious of the rectitude of my own
conduct, and after a critical examination of
all the evidence taken by the committee;
convinced that those friends who were so
loyal to me during that bitter contest did
not resort to dishonorable or corrupt means
to influence the action of the members of
the legislature in their choice of a senator,
yet I am unwilling to continue to occupy a
seat in the senate of the United States
under credentials which its committee has
declared rest for their authority upon the
action of a legislature which was not free
and voluntary in its choice of a senator.
"Self -respect and due regard for the opin-
ion oi my associates, and a sense of duty to
the people of the state of Montana, demand
that I should return the credentials under
which I am acting as one of the representa-
tives in the senate of the United States,
leaving the state and her people to take
such action as will conserve and promote
her best interests in the national council.
"Influenced by these considerations, I
deem it eminently proper, without unneces-
sary delay, to resign the position of United
States senator from the state of Montana,
to which I was chosen by the sixth legisla-
tive assembly of Montana on the 28th day
of January, 1899.
"With sentiments of esteem, I remain,
respectfully yours, W. A. CLARK.'"
On the 15th of May A. E. Spriggs, acting
as governor in the absence from the state of
the chief executive, R. B. Smith, notified
Senator Clark that he had appointed him as
his own successor as senator from Montana.
The telegram read:
"Helena, Mont., May 15. Senator W. A.
Clark, Washington: I have the honor to
inform you that I have this day appointed
you to fill the vacancy in Montana's repre-
sentation in the senate of the United
States. I send you certificate by registered
mail. I trust you will accept the appoint
ment.
"A. E. SPRIGGS, Acting Governor."
124
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
To this announcement the following reply
was returned:
'Washington, D. C., May 15. Hon. A. E.
Spriggs, Governor of Montana Dear Gov-
ernor: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your very complimentary
message informing me of my appointment
to fill the vacancy in the United States
senate caused by my resignation, and to
inform you of my acceptance thereof. I
fully appreciate the high compliment im-
~lied by your action and pledge myself to
ischarge the duties of the office in the in-
terests of all the people of the state to the
best of my ability.
"With assurance of my esteem, I am
yours sincerely, W. A. CLARK."
Upon the return of Gov. Smith to Mon-
tana he revoked, on the 18th of May, Lieut. -
Gov. Spriggs' appointment of W. A. .Clark
to succeed himself as senator, and appointed
Maj. Martin Maginnis of Helena. The fol-
lowing telegram was sent to Mr. Clark at
Washington :
"Butte, Mont., May 18, 1900. To the Hon.
W. A. Clark, Washington, D. C. Sir: I
have this day disregarded and revoked your
appointment as United States senator made
by Gov. Spriggs on the 15th inst., as being
tainted with collusion and fraud, and have
this day appointed the Hon. Martin Magin-
nis United States senator to fill the vacancy
caused by your resignation.
"ROBERT B. SMITH."
Similar telegrams were sent to Senator
Chandler, secretary of the committee on
privileges and elections, and to Senator
Frye, president pro tern, of the senate.
On the 25th of May Senator Carter of
Montana presented the certificate of Gov.
Smith appointing Martin Maginnis as sena-
tor to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Senator Clark, and to which
vacancy Mr. Clark was appointed by Lieut. -
Gov. Spriggs in the absence of the governor.
The certificate was in practically the
same words as Acting Governor Spriggs'
certificate appointing Mr. Clark to succeed
himself. In accordance with a request made
by Senator Carter, the certificate was laid
upon the table.
As soon as this disposition was made,
Senator Chandler presented a resolution pro-
viding for the reference of the credentials
of the rival senatorial claimants to the
committee on privileges and elections. The
contest was left undecided when congress
adjourned on the 7th of June, 1900.
THE CASE OF SENATOR QUAY.
While totally unlike the proceedings in
the case of Mr. Clark, that of Senator Quay
has created a very widespread interest in
the entire country. His prominent position
in his party, the long and desperate struggle
that resulted in his defeat for senator in
the legislature of Pennsylvania and his ap-
pointment by Gov. Stone to the position for
which he had been defeated have made the
contest a somewhat remarkable one. In the
Quay proceedings there was no taint of bri-
bery or corruption, but the result depended
upon the meaning and effect of clause 2 of
section 3 of article 1 of the constitution of
the United States. That clause is "And if
vacancies fin the United States senate] hap-
pen, by resignation or otherwise, during the
recess of the legislature of any state, the
executive thereof may make temporary ap-
pointments until the next meeting of the
legislature, which shall then fill such va-
cancies." This has uniformly been con-
strued by the senate to mean that when the
legislature had an opportunity to elect a
senator but failed to do so the governor
did not have the power to appoint a person
to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Quay's term of service as senator
from Pennsylvania ended on the 3d of
March, 1899, and he became a candidate for
re-election by the legislature when it met
in January of that year. There was a
strong opposition in the legislature among
the republican members to the candidacy
of Mr. Quay, and about forty of them re-
fused to attend the party caucus that nomi-
nated him or to vote for him after his
nomination. A caucus of the republican
members was held on the 3d of January at
which 108 of the 164 members were present.
The first joint ballot was taken on the 18th
of January, 1899, at which Mr. Quay re-
ceived 112 of the 164 republican votes in the
two houses of the state legislature. Those
who refused to support him declared they
would not consider any proposal to vote for
him until he had cleared himself from the
charges then pending against him.
These charges were of a serious nature.
On the 21st of November, 1898, a grand jury
in Philadelphia had returned bills of indict-
ment against Senator Quay, his son, Rich-
ard B. Quay, and ex-State Treasurer B. J.
Haywood, charging them with conspiring,
with John S. Hopkins, cashier of the de-
funct People's bank of Philadelphia, who
had committed suicide, to use unlawfully
in stock speculations moneys of the state
then on deposit in the bank. After the
death of Hopkins the bank went into liqui-
dation, and the president, James McManes,
personally assumed the protection of the
creditors. This case was pending in the
courts of Philadelphia while the legislature
was in session.
Balloting continued daily at Harrisburg
until the 19th of April, the opponents of Mr.
Quay creating a dead-lock that could not be
broken by his supporters. On the 20th of
April the legislature adjourned, leaving the
vacancy in the United States senate still
unfilled. On the next day, April 21, the
prosecution of Mr. Quay on the charge of
conspiring to use for his own unlawful
profit state funds deposited in the People's
bank ended, without submission of testi-
mony by the defendant, in a verdict of
acquittal by a jury of his peers. On the
same day Gov. Stone announced the appoint-
ment of Mr. Quay to fill the existing va-
cancy in the United States senate.
When congress met on the first Monday in
December, 1899, Mr. Quay claimed his seat,
and offered to be sworn into office. The case
was, upon objection, referred to the senate
committee on privileges and elections, and,
on the 5th of January, 1900, this committee
decided, by a vote of 4 to 3, that the claim
of Mr. Quay to a seat as senator was in-
valid. After citing precedents of the senate,
the report says: "We submit that the sen-
ate, for its own honor and dignity, should
stand by its previous solemn and deliberate
decisions" and reject Mr. Quay as appointed
in violation of the constitution. The ma-
jority report was signed by Senators Hoar,
Chandler, Pritchard and McComas all re-
publicans.

CASE OF MR. ROBERTS OF UTAH.
In November, 1898, Brigham H. Roberts
was elected to congress as a democrat from
Utah. Following the election it was au-
thoritatively announced from Salt Lake
City that Mr. Roberts was a polypamist,
and had never given up the plural mar-
riages that he had entered into before th
admission of Utah into the union. The
most pronounced and intense feeling fol-
lowed the publication of these statements,
and the subject of the admission of a con-
fessed polygamist, and one who was then
sustaining, in defiance of the laws both of
the United States and of the state of Utah,
polygamous relations, met the strong oppo-
sition of the very large majority of the peo-
Ble of the country, irrespective of party,
o sooner had congress met than the lower
house was deluged with petitions urging
the representatives to exclude Mr. Roberts
from the seat to which he ha'd been elected.
On the 1st of December, 1898, it was de-
cided at a conference of the leading mem-
bers of the house that the eligibility of Mr.
Roberts to his seat should be a subject of
investigation, and that, previous to such
investigation, he should not be permitted to
take the oath of office. Representative
Robert W. Tayler of the 18th district of
Ohio was put in charge of the matter, and
a plan of procedure was devised by him
which was followed to the end of the con-
troversy. It was decided that when Mr.
Roberts appeared at the bar of the house
to be sworn in objections should be raised
to his taking the oath on the ground of in-
eligibility, and that he should step aside.
After the other new members had qualified
Mr. Tayler would present the charges that
had been made against the claimant from
Utah and offer a resolution for the appoint-
ment of a special committee to investigate
them.
On the 4th of December, when the roll of
the house was called, Mr. Tayler said, "I
object to the swearing in of the representa-
tive from Utah and to his taking his seat,"
stating the grounds upon which his objec-
tions were based. The speaker directed
Mr. Roberts to step aside, which he did,
saying: "I do so with the understanding
that by my action I waive none of my
rights." On the next day, by a vote of 320
to 30, a resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment of a special committee to in-
vestigate the charges against the claimant.
Previous to this a resolution to permit Mr.
Roberts to take the oath and then refer the
whole matter to the house judiciary com-
mittee had been lost.
The committee of investigation consisted
of Tayler (rep., O.), Freer (rep., W. Va.),
Morris (rep., Minn.), McPherson (rep.,
Iowa), Lanham (dem., Tex.), Miers (dem.,
Ind.), constituting the majority, and De-
Armond (dem., Mo.) and Littlefield (rep.,
Me.), composing the minority. The com-
mittee continued its investigation until the
17th of January, 1900, when a final decision
was reached. It was unanimous in finding
that the charge was clearly proved that
Mr. Roberts is a polygamist, but there was
a difference of opinion as to the proper
method of procedure. The majority favored
exclusion, while the minority favored seat-
ing Mr. Roberts on his prirna facie title to
his seat and then expelling him. The com-
mittee unanimously agreed upon the follow-
ing statement of facts as established by the
investigation: That B. H. Roberts was duly
elected, that he possessed the qualifications
of age, length of United States citizenship
and residence in Utah; that about 1878 he
married his first and lawful wife, who has
borne him six children, and with whom he
still cohabits. That about 1885 he married,
as his plural wife, another woman, with
whom he has ever since lived, and who has
borne him six children; that some years
after his second marriage he contracted a

house. The former maintained that con-

gress had the right to exclude Roberts, and
declared that the exclusion is "entirely in
accord with principle, authority and legis-
lative precedent." Three grounds of dis-
qualification were urged against Roberts by
the majority: His violation of the Edmunds
law; his notorious and defiant disobedience
of the laws of the country, the decisions of
the Supreme court and proclamations of
the president, and the violation, by his
election, of the understanding under which

Utah was admitted to the union as a state.
The minority report declared that Roberts
ought not to be a member of the house, but
argued that it was establishing a bad
precedent to refuse to admit a man possess-
ing all the constitutional qualifications, and
urged the admission of Roberts and his
expulsion under the rules of the house.

These pairs were announced, republicans
being named first: Harmer of Pennsylvania
and Broussard of Louisiana, Bishop of Mich-

New York and Davey of Louisiana, Joy of
Missouri and Catchings of Mississippi, Gil-
let of New York and Robertson of Louisi-
ana. The following democrats were neither
paired nor recorded: Bellamy of North
Carolina, Smith of Maryland, Stallings of
Alabama, Wheeler of Alabama.
The bill then went to the senate.
On the 19th of December Mr. Aldrich of
Rhode Island introduced a similar measure
into the senate from the finance committee.
It differed from the bill that had passed the
house in some important particulars, the
chief one being that it omitted the refund-
ing provision of the house measure, which
provided that the secretary of the treasury
might receive any outstanding bonds bear-
ing interest at 3, 4 or 5 per cent, and
maturing prior to 1908, and issue in ex-
change therefor gold bonds bearing 2 per
cent interest and running thirty years. The
senate bill also contained a provision that
"none of such outstanding bonds shall be
received in such exchange at a valuation
greater than their present worth to yield an
income of 2^4 per cent per annum," and the
new, bonds are to be issued at not less than
Pa 6n the 2d of January, 1900, the senate
finance committee offered several amend-
ments to the bill. One of them provided that
the "gold coin received from the sale of
bonds shall first be covered into the general
fund of the treasury and then exchanged,
in the manner hereinbefore provided, for an
equal amount of the notes redeemed and
held for exchange, and the United States
notes exchanged in accordance with the
provisions of this section shall, when cov-
ered into the treasury, be reissued as now
provided by law; and the gold coin in the
reserve fund, together with the redeemed
notes, held for use as provided in this sec-
tion, shall at no time exceed the maximum
sum of $150,000,000." Another amendment
provided for the maintenance of a gold
reserve in the treasury of not less than
$100,000,000.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire of-
fered two sections as amendments to thr>
bill, as follows: Section 9: To affirm and
declare that the policy of the government
is "to continue the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, and to coin both
gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, such equality to
be secured through international agreement,
or otherwise, so that there shall be parity
in value of the coins of both metals"; and
that "the efforts of the government shall
be steadily directed to the establishmrnt of
such a system of bimetallism as will main-
tain, at all times," such parity. Section 10:
That the provisions of the act of March 3.
1897, authorizing the president to appoint
commissioners to any international bime-
tallic conference that may be called, "be,
and the same are, hereby re-enacted and
continued in force." These amendments
were both defeated.
Feb. 9 Senator Jones (dem.) of Arkansas
introduced, as a substitute, a free-coinage
bill, which was defeated by a vote of 47
to 28.
The bill finally came up in the senate for
passage on the 15th of February.
The first vote was taken on the following
amendment offered by tEe senate finance
committee: "The provisions of this act are
not intended to place any obstacles in the
way of the accomplishment of International
bimetallism, provided the same be secured
by concurrent action of the leading com-
mercial nations of the world and at a ratio
which shall insure permanence of the rela-
tive value between gold and silver." This
amendment was adopted by a vote of 45 to
30. Mr. Teller of Colorado offered the fol-
lowing amendment:
"The people of the United States are in
favor of bimetallism and desirous of an in-
ternational agreement with the great com-
mercial nations of the world that will admit
of the use of both gold and silver at such
an established ratio as will maintain the
parity between gold and silver coins, and
the efforts of the government are hereby
pledged to endeavor to secure such an in-
ternational agreement as speedily as pos-
This was lost by a vote of 27 to 45.
An amendment offered by Mr. Stewart of
Nevada, providing for the payment of bonds
of the United States in coin of the standard
fixed by the act of July 14, 1870, was laid on
the table-44 to 26.
An amendment offered by Mr. Pettus
(dem.) of Alabama, providing that gold
coins and silver dollars coined by the United
States shall be a legal tender at their
nominal value, was defeated 44 to 27.
Another amendment by Mr. Pettus, pro-
viding that nothing in this act should affect
the legal tender quality of United States sil-
ver dollars, was likewise defeated 44 to 26.
Mr. Vest (dem.) of Missouri offered an
amendment providing for $200,000,000 of
treasury bond notes, which should be loaned
by the secretary of the treasury to any
person who would deposit United States
bonds as security. His amendment, he said,
if enacted into law would afford the citizen
owner of bonds the same facilities as were
afforded national banks. The amendment
was defeated without division.
An amendment of Mr. McLaurin (dem.) of
South Carolina to repeal the tax on state
banks was lost 37 to 20.
Mr. Nelson (rep.) of Minnesota offered an
amendment providing for the organization
of national banks with a capital of not less
than $25,000 in towns whose population does
not exceed 40,000. Mr. Aldrich accepted it
and it was adopted.

The ouly republican voting against the
bill was Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire,
and the only democrats voting for the bill
were Mr. Caffery of Louisiana and Mr. Lind-
say of Kentucky.
The measure then went to a conference
committee of the two houses. The com-
mittee came to an agreement, and on the
6th of March, 1900, its report was adopted
by the senate by a vote of 44 to 26 -Chandler
voting against and Caffery and Lindsay for
the measure.
March 13 the report was adopted by the
house by a vote of 166 to 120. The affirma-
tive vote was made up of 157 republicans
and 9 democrats Clayton, Driggs, Fitzger-
ald, Levy, Scudder, Underbill (all of New
York), McAleer of Pennsylvania, Thayer of
Massachusetts and Denny of Maryland.
The bill was signed by the president and
became a law March 14, 1900.
The following is a complete text of the
law:
SECTION 1 FIXES GOLD AS THE
STANDARD OF VALUE.
"The dollar consisting of twenty-five and
eight-tenths grains of gold, nine-tenths
fine, as established by section S511 of the
revised statutes of the United States, shall
be the standard unit of value, and all forms
of money issued or coined by the United
States shall be maintained at a parity of
value with this standard; and it shall be
the duty of the secretary of the treasury to
maintain such parity.
SECTION 2 FOR GOLD RESERVE OF
$150,000,000.
"United States notes and treasury notes
issued under the act of July 14, 1890. when
presented to the treasury for redemption,
shall be redeemed in gold coin of the stand-
ard fixed in the first section of this act; and
in order to secure the prompt and certain
redemption of snch notes as herein provided
it shall be the duty of the secretary of the
treasury to set apart in the treasury a re-
serve fund of $150,000,000 in gold coin and
bullion, which fund shall be used for such
redemption purposes only; and whenever
and as often as any of said notes shall be
redeemed from said fund it shall be the
duty of the secretary of the treasury to use
said notes so redeemed to restore and main-
tain such reserve fund in the manner follow-
ing, to w y it:
"1. By exchanging the notes so redeemed
for any gold coin in the general fund of the
treasury.
"2. By accepting deposits of gold coin at
the treasury or at any subtreasury in ex-
change for the United States notes so re-
deemed.
"3. By procuring gold coin by the use of
said notes in accordance with the provisions
of section 3700 of the revised statutes of
the United States.
"If the secretary of the treasury is unable
to restore and maintain the gold coin in the
reserve fund by the foregoing methods, and
the amount of such gold coin and bullion in
said fund shall at any time fall below $100,-
000,000, then it shall be his duty to restore
the same to the maximum sum of $150.000.000
by borrowing money on the credit of the
United States, and for the debt thus in-
curred to issue and sell coupon or registered
bonds of the Utfited States, in such form as
he may prescribe, in denominations of $50 or
any multiple thereof, bearing interest at
the rate of not exceeding 3 per cent per
annum, payable quarterly, such bonds to be
payable at the pleasure of the United States
after one year from the date of their issue,
and to be payable, principal and interest, in
gold coin of the present standard value, and
to be exempt from the payment of all taxes
or duties of the United States, as well as
from taxation in any form by or under state,
municipal or local authority.
"The gold coin received from the sale of
said bonds shall first be covered into the
general fund of the treasury and then ex-
changed in the manner hereinbefore pro
vided for an equal amount of the notes
redeemed and held for exchange; and the
secretary of the treasury may, in his dis-
cretion, use said notes in exchange for gold,
or to purchase or redeem any bonds of the
United States, or for any other lawful pur-
pose the public interests may require, ex-
cept that they shall not be used to meet
deficiencies in the current revenues.
"United States notes, when redeemed in
accordance with the provisions of this sec-
tion, shall be reissued, but shall be held in
the reserve fund until exchanged for gold,
as herein provided; and the gold coin and
bullion in the reserve fund, together with
the redeemed notes held for use as provided
in this section, shall at no time exceed the
maximum sum of $150,000,000.
SECTION 3-^ROVISIONS REGARDING
PRESENT MONEY.
"Nothing contained in this act shall be
construed to affect the legal tender quality,
as now provided by law, of the silver dollar,
or of any other money coined or issued by
the United States.
SECTION 4-DIVISIONS OF ISSUE AND

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1901.
GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES.
INCREASE OF THE TERRITORIAL AREA OF THE COUNTRY FROM 1803 TO 1900
WITH STATISTICS.
When the independence of the United said: "I therefore nominate James Mon
States was acknowledged by Great Britain,
under the provisions of the treaty of 1783,
the new government covered a territory of
about 827,844 square miles. On the Atlantic
seaboard it stretched from the northeast-
erly point on the coast of Maine to the
northern boundary of Florida, which then
ran west to the Pearl river, which was
then, as it is now, the most easterly bound-
ary of the state of Louisiana. It was
bounded on the west by the Mississippi
river and on the north by the St. Lawrence
river and the great lakes. In 1790 this ter-
ritory contained a population of 3,920,214,
exclusive of Indians.
The United States were thus hemmed in
on three sides by a cordon of European
belligerent nations Great Britain on the
north, Spain on the south and France on the
west. In this situation they were liable at
any time to be affected by the policies and
alliances of European powers. The acquire-
ment of the vast territory of Louisiana from
Spain by France excited the fear of the
president and the administration to such an
extent that the American minister at Paris
laid a strong remonstrance before Napoleon,
who was at that time first consul. The
gravamen of his protest was that "while
the possession of Louisiana by a weak na-
tion like Spain would be tolerated, its
transfer to a strong, active, colonizing pow-
er like France would immediately drive the
United States into a close alliance with
England; and that, in short, the possessor
of New Orleans must be the enemy of the
United States." Besides this the only out-
let for the United States was along the
Atlantic coast, the entire gulf coast being
controlled and blocked by Spain, the Mis-
sissippi outlet being in the hands of France,
while the route down the great lakes to
the sea was, and is for a long distance,
through British territory.
THE PURCHASE OF LOUISIANA OF 1803.
The credit of making the Louisiana pur-
chase, by which 1,182,752 square miles, or
756,961,280 acres, of territory were added to
the public domain, has been credited to Mr.
Jefferson, then president of the United
States. The general opinion is, however,
that he knew little if anything of the nego-
tiations until the treaty had been signed
and transmitted to him for submission to
congress. The facts in the case are briefly
these : Under our treaties with Spain, which
then owned not only the Floridas but the
>ntire Louisiana country as well, the United
States had the right of depositing merchan-
dise at the port of New Orleans. Spain
after a time refused our government and its
people the further enjoyment of that priv-
ilege. After Louisiana had been given back
o France in 1801 Spain still retained juris-
diction over the port of New Orleans, and
denied to us the rights guaranteed by trea-
ties between the two countries. On the llth
of January, 1803, Mr. Jefferson sent a com-
munication to the senate regarding the
closing by Spain of the port of New Orleans
to the United States and suspending our
right of deposit under existing treaties and
roe of Virginia to be minister extraordinary
and plenipotentiary to enter into a treaty
or convention with his catholic majesty
{the king of Spain] for the purpose of en-
arging or more effectually securing our
rights and interests in the Kiver Mississippi
and in the territories eastward thereof."
In the same document Mr. Monroe was ap-
pointed to the same office for the same
specific purpose at the court of France. It
was understood that the real mission of Mr.
Monroe was to purchase from Spain a port
of deposit and dockyards in the territory of
Florida, as she had no right or power to
alienate any portion of Louisiana, that ter-
ritory having been restored to France in
1801.
Mr. Monroe arrived in Paris on the 12th of
April, and found Bonaparte, who was then
first consul, meditating on and in
of a rupture with Great Britain, and it was
reported and generally believed to be true
that England was preparing to send a strong
fleet to seize the port of New Orleans and
the entire territory. He also ascertained
that M. Talleyrand had requested Mr. Liv-
ingston, the American minister to France,
to make an offer, on behalf of the United
States, for the province of Louisiana entire.
As the minister did not possess this power
he declined to enter into the negotiations.
The next day after Mr. Monroe's arrival
M. Marbqis, on behalf of France, pressed
the American ministers to make an offer for
the territory, and after some consultation
they offered to pay to France 50,000,000
francs, with an offset in the shape of such
claims in favor of the United States against
France as should be established, estimated
at from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 francs. This
offer was rejected, but M. Marbois proposed
to take 80,000,000 francs, on condition that
20,000,000 francs of this sum c'lould be as-
signed to the payment of claims due by
France to citizens of the United States, if
they should amount to so much. Mr. Mon-
roe assented to this proposal, and on the
30th of April, 1803, a treaty for cession and
payment was drawn up and signed by
Robert Livingston and James Monroe on the
part of the United States, and by M. Mar-
bois on the part of France. The first that
Mr. Jefferson knew of this transaction was
the treaty transmitted to him for submis-
sion to the
Monroe had
senate for ratification. Mr.
transcended his instructions
and made a bargain for all of Louisiana
when he was empowered only to negotiate
for a small district east of the Mississippi
river.

published by the government (page 100). it is
'd: "President Jefferson had always been
a strict constructionist of the constitution
The reception of this treaty, which ac-
quired an immense province, embarrassed
him, as he knew of no warrant in the con-
stitution for such a purchase, and had only
authorized the purchase of a place of de-
posit and dockyards. He had always uenied
to the national government any powers not
specially conferred upon it by the constitu-
tion. He could not find a clause in the

constitution which gave congress any ex-
press power to appropriate money to pur-
chase additional territory."
Upon the same subject Alexander Young
in his "American Statesman," than which
there is no higher authority upon the move-
ments of national politics, says, on page
208, "although the ministers [Messrs. Liv-
ingston and Monroe] had no instructions to
purchase Louisiana, the thing not having
been contemplated perhaps never before
thought of but the offer to sell having been
made by Bonaparte and the great value of
the acquisition to the United States been
considered, our ministers were induced to
assume the responsibility of transcending
their instructions."
The Monroe treaty was ratified by the
senate on the 19th of October, France hav-
ing ratified it previous to that date, and on
the 21st the ratifications were exchanged
between the two countries.
The amount paid by this government for
the Louisiana territory was as follows:
Principal sum $15,000,000
Interest on redemption bonds 8,529,353

THE PURCHASE OF FLORIDA IN 1819.
The purchase of Louisiana involved the
government in a dispute with Spain, which
nearly threw the two countries into a war.
The gist of this difference was the right of
France to transfer to the United States
some of the territory we claimed to have
purchased from her. The controversy, ex-
tending over sixteen years, ended in the
surrender of Fort Barrancas to Gen. Jackson,
and ultimately made him president of the
United States a few years later. Negotia-
tions for cession of Florida opened in 1818,
the Spaniards claiming that the boundary
of the territory of Spain, west of the Mis-
sissippi river, should be due north of a line
commencing on the Gulf of Mexico, east of
the River Sabine, and extending to the
Missouri, and thence to its source. Secre-
tary of State Adams offered in reply, Oct.
31, 1818, as his ultimatum, to accept as a
boundary for the Spanish possessions, west
of the Mississippi, the River Sabine to the
33d degree of north latitude, thence to the
Red river due north, that river to its source,
the crest of the Rocky mountains to the 41st
degree north latitude, and a line thence due
west to the Pacific ocean, about the present
boundaries of the Louisiana purchase.
Spain pronounced this claim to be unheard
of, and proffered in lieu an agreement to
the line of the Sabine river, with a line
due north to the Missouri, and from and
along that river to its head. In the adjust-
ment of these differences a treaty was con-
cluded Feb. 22, 1819, by which Spain sold to
the United States the territory of East
Florida for the sum of $5,000,000, and we
withdrew all claims to the territory west
of the Sabine river (which afterward be-
came Texas), and which we had purchased
as a part of Louisiana from France. The
territory thus given up was worth twenty
times as much as Florida, and two years
later it became a part of the republic of
Mexico. Within thirty years the determina-
tion to regain this abandoned territory in-
volved us in a war with Mexico.
The amount paid by the government for
Florida was as follows:
Principal sum $5,000,000
Interest on redemption bonds 1,489,768
Total $6,489,768
The purchase added to the public domain
59,268 square miles, or 37,931,520 acres, of
territory.
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS IN 1845.
By the proslavery votes cast in congress
when Florida was purchased Texas was
bartered away, although it was a part of
the Louisiana purchase. Indiana had been
admitted to the union in 1816 and Illinois
in 1818, and new slave states were de-
manded to preserve the equality of voting
power in congress between the two sections
of the country, and for this reason no
sacrifice was too great to be made by the
south to secure an increase of political
strength.
Between 1816 and 1837 eight states had
been admitted to the union four of which
were free and four were slave. Equality in
the division of the states preserved the
power of the slave states in the senate, but
the northern states were growing more
rapidly than the southern, and the house
was becoming dominated by the antislavery
sentiment. Texas now became the prize
which the south desired to regain as an off-
set to the rapidly increasing political power
of the free states. Texas had become, after
its surrender, a part of the Mexican state
of Coahuila, but the large majority of its
inhabitants were Americans; it had de-
clared its independence of the republic of
Mexico and was engaged in a war to estab-
lish it. As the freedom of Texas was the
first step to its annexation to the United
States, a resolution was introduced into
congress recognizing its independence, which
passed the senate but was lost in the house.
The independence of Texas was, however,
acknowledged in 1840, and in the political
campaign of 1844 its annexation became the
leading party issue. The election of Mr.
Polk committed the democratic party to the
union, and the discussion of the question
occupied almost the entire time of the sec-
ond session of the XXVIIIth congress, which
met Dec. 2, 1844. Mexico had abolished slav-
ery, and Texas was by the Mexican law free
territory. In 1838 a treaty of annexation
had been drawn between the representatives
of the two countries, but in 1844 it had been
rejected in the senate by a vote of 16 yeas
to 35 nays. On the 1st of March, 1845, a
joint resolution was passed by congress for
annexing Texas, which contained a provi-
sion that slavery should be prohibited in any
state formed from its territory north of the
Missouri compromise line (36 degrees 30
minutes north latitude), but left the slavery
question to be settled by the people in such
states as might be formed south of that
line. The president signed this resolution.
It was accepted by the republic of Texas
and on the 29th of December, 1845, a joint
resolution was passed by congress admit-
ting the republic into the union.
The territory acquired by this annexation
was 371,063 square miles, or 237,480,320 acres,
in extent. Of this area 96,707 square miles,
or 61,892,480 acres, were ceded to the
United States in 1850, for which the govern-
ment paid Texas the sum of $16,000,000.

rhis purchase embraced the southwest cor-
ler of Kansas, the southeast corner of Colo-
ado, the eastern portion of New Mexico,
ind the public land strip north of the Pan-
Handle of Texas.
THE MEXICAN CESSION OF 1848.
The annexation of Texas involved our gov-
rnment in a dispute regarding the bound-
,ry line between Texas and Mexico. Mexico
contended that the southwestern boundary
f Texas was the Nueces river, while the
United States insisted that it was the Rio
3rande river. After the terms of annexa-
ion offered to Texas had been accepted by
hat republic, President Polk, in 1845, or-
Jered the army of the United States to
>ccupy the western portion of Texas, be-
ween the Nueces and the Kio Grande
ivers, and hold it. On the 13th of May,
846, congress passed a law declaring that
'war existed by the act of Mexico," and
he war with that country ensued. The
American forces were uniformly successful.
Ihe capital of the country was taken on
he 14th of September, 1847, and on the 22U
if November proposals were received from
;he Mexican authorities for negotiations for
a peace treaty.
The government acceded to this request,
and on the 28th of February, 1848, a treaty
peace was completed and transmitted to
Washington for the action of congress. A
long debate followed and the treaty was
amended and returned for ^ratification by
commissioners appointed by the president
for that purpose. They arrived at Quere-
aro May 15, 1848, submitted it as amended
to the Mexican senate on the same day, and
it was adopted by a vote of 33 to 5. By the
Mexican treaty and concession the United
States acquired 522,568 square miles, or
334,443,520 acres, of territory-
Under article 12 of the treaty the United
States agreed to pay for the concessions
made by Mexico the sum of $15,000,000, and
this amount was paid into the Mexican
treasury a little later.
THE GADSDEN PURCHASE OF 1853.
The Mexican treaty left the boundary
between the United States and Mexico
(between the Rio Grande and the Colorado
rivers), south of the Gila, irregular and
uncertain. Under the administration of Mr.
Pierce a treaty was entered into by James
Gadsden, United States minister to Mexico,
and the Mexican authorities for the pur-
chase of the tract of land now lying in the
southern parts of the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona, then in the republic
of Mexico, and adjoining the United States
south of the River Gila, and from the Rio
Grande on the east to a point twenty miles
below the mouth of the Gila on the west, on
the Colorado river. The treaty was ratified
by both governments and went into effect.
By this cession 45.535 square miles, or 29,-
142.400 acres, of territory were added to the
public domain at a cost of $10,000,000.
PURCHASE OF ALASKA IN 1867.
The first proposal for the purchase of
Alaska was made by Baron Stoeckl. Russian
envoy at Washington, in 1854, during the
Crimean war. President Pierce declined to
consider the offer. Some years later, dur-
ing the administration of Mr. Buchanan, an
unofficial eftort was made by members of his
cabinet to purchase Alaska, and it was sug-
gested to the Russian authorities that
$5,000,000 would be paid for the territory,
but significant intimations were received
that the Russian government would not con-
sider so small a sum as a compensation. In
1866 the legislature of Washington territory
urged upon the president the necessity of
the immediate acquirement of the Russian
territories in North America, and this was
followed by a strong influence that was
brought to bear upon the legislative and ex-
ecutive departments of the government to
bring about negotiations with the Russian
government for its purchase. When it be-
came known that the lease of the franchises
of the Russo-American Fur company, held
by the Hudson Bay company, would expire
in June, 1867, and were likely to be renewed,
unless in the meantime the United States
acquired the territory, the anxiety to per-
fect the sale was greatly increased. It was
well known that the fur industries, fish-
eries, forests and minerals in the territory
were exceedingly rich, and these were more
valuable to the United States than they
were to Russia.
Formal negotiations were entered into be-
tween Baron Stoeckl, the Russian envoy at
Washington, and Mr. Seward, our secretary
of state, which resulted in the formation of
a treaty of sale and transfer on the 30th of
March, 1867, on which day it was signed.
In describing the eastern boundary of the
territory conveyed by the treaty, article 1
says: "Commencing from the southernmost
point of the island called Prince of Wales
island, which point lies in the parallel of
54 degrees and 40 minutes north latitude,
and between the 131st and 133d degree of
west longitude (meridian of Greenwich),
the said line shall ascend to the north along
the channel called Portland channel, as tar
as the point of the continent, where it
strikes the 56th degree of north latitude;
from the last-mentioned point, the line of
demarcation shall follow the summit of the
mountains situated parallel to the coast,
as far as the point of intersection of the
141st degree of west longitude (of the same
meridian), and, finally, from the said point
of intersection, the said meridian line of the
141st degree, in its prolongation to as far as
the frozen ocean."
This purchase cost the government the
sum of $7,200,000 and added to the public
domain an area estimated to contain 577,390
square miles, or 369,529,600 acres, of 'land.
Up to this time, including the state ces
sions of Georgia (56,689.920 acres, for which
the government paid $6,200,000) the govern-
ment had purchased 1,593,139,200 acres of
territory at a cost of $81,957,389, or 5 cents
and 1 mill per acre.
ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
It is unnecessary to go into the details of
the annexation of the Hawaiian republic
from the fact that the entire subject has
been fully discussed in the late issues of
The Daily News Almanac. The annexation
was made complete by the action of the
senate and the president of the United
States on the 6th and 7th days of July, 1898
This union added 6,740 square miles, 01
4,313,600 acres, to the public domain.
THE SPANISH CESSIONS OF 1899.
As one of the results of the war witt
Spain in 1898 the Philippine archipelago, the
island of Porto Rico and the island of Guam
came into the possession of the Unitec
States. What will be the ultimate disposi

tion of these dependencies it is yet too
early to determine, but upon the supposition
that they remain the permanent possessions
of the government, as some of them un-
doubtedly will, they will materially in-
crease the area of the territory of the gov-
ernment.
The Philippine islands are estimated to
numoer some 2,000 in all and to embrace an
area of something like 114,000 square miles,
or 72,960,000 acres of land. Porto Kico has
an area of about 3,600 square miles, or
2,304,000 acres of land.
Guam has an area of about 200 square
miles, or 128,000 acres.
WAKE ISLAND.
This is a small speck of land in the Pacific
ocean of so little value that no nation has
ever claimed or held it. It is situated

about midway between Hawaii and Guam,
and was taken possession of by the United
States in 1898 for a telegraph station, in
case the government should construct a
submarine line between San Francisco and
Manila. If the line is not constructed our
government will probably abandon it.
TDTUILA, MANUA AND ANU.
Elsewhere in this volume the partition of
Samoa, by which the United States in Janu-
ary, 1900, came into possession of these
three islands of that group, is discussed.
The area of the three islands Is approxi-
mately between sixty and seventy square
miles, but the largest one, Tutuila, has one
of the finest harbors in the Pacific, which
is exceedingly valuable and important as the
location of a naval depot.

they differ, as in some instances, from those should be any other basis for the loss of over

though published quite early in the year, as in flciency of over 11,000 members in the com-
the case of the congregational. Roman cath- paratively small denomination of Christians,
olic and other churches. Where such official While there are advantages in the grouping
figures have been lacking the best possible of denominational families there are also dis-

in the different denominations. The response and methodists there are large groups in re-
to the request for figures has been very gen- gard to which accurate information, except

desire to secure an adequate representation of practically unattainable, and they are in dan-
the churches and a knowledge of the facts, ger of an undue advantage over those churches
In only one case were figures refused, the rea- that are able to give reasonably accurate sta-
son given being that incorrect statements had tistics. In the same way the presence in the

The historic and patriotic Order of the Cin-
cinnati was founded by the American and
French officers at the cantonments of the
continental army on the Hudson at the close
of hostilities in the war of the revolution for
American independence in May. 1783.
In forming the society it was declared that
"to perpetuate, therefore, as well the remem-
brance of this vast event as the mutual friend-
ships which have been formed under the
pressure of common danger, and, in many in-
stances, cemented by the blood of the parties
the officers of the American army do hereby,
in the most solemn manner, associate, consti-
tute and combine themselves into one society
of friends, to endure as long as they shall en
dure, or any of their eldest male posterity,
and in failure thereof the collateral branches
who may be judged, worthy of becoming its
supporters and members."
Membership descends to the eldest lineal
male descendant, if judged worthy, and, in
failure of direct male descent, to male descend-
ants through intervening female descendants.
The number of living members of the Society
of the Cincinnati, as reported at the triennial
meeting May, 1899, was 580.

about 1,600.
The order is a military organization with
patriotic objects, having for its scope the
period of American history since national
independence. It stands for the needed and
honorable principle of national defense
against foreign aggression. The principal
feature of the order is the perpetuating of the
names, as well as the services, of commis-
sioned officers who served in either the war of
the revolution, the war with Tripoli, the war
of 1812, the Mexican war or the war with Spain.
Veteran companionship is conferred upon
such officers and hereditary companionship
upon their direct lineal descendants in the
male line.

THE ARMY CANTEEN,
The army reorganization bill became a
law, by the approval of the president, on
the 2d of March, 1899. Section 17 of that
act was as follows:
construed the section as follows: First,
"That no officer or private soldier shall be
detailed to sell intoxicating drinks, as a
bartender or otherwise, in any post ex-
change or canteen." Second, "Nor shall
"No officer or private soldier shall be de-
tailed to sell intoxicating drinks, as a bar-
tender or otherwise, in any post exchange
or canteen; nor shall any other person be
required or allowed to sell such liquors in
any encampment or fort, or on any premises
used for military purposes by the United
States; and the secretary of war is hereby
directed to issue such general orders as may
be necessary to carry the provisions of this
section into full force and effect." It was
popularly supposed that this section abol-
ished the canteen system in the army, a
reform that very many officers of high rank
were said to indorse.
any other person be required or allowed to
sell such liquors in any encampment or fort,
or any premises used for military purposes
by the United States"; and, third, "the
secretary of war is hereby directed to issue
such general orders as may be necessary to
carry the provisions of this section into full
force and effect."
Regarding the first clause of the section
the attorney-general gave it as his opinion
that "the act having forbidden the employ-
ment of soldiers as bartenders or salesmen
of intoxicating drinks, it would be lawful
and appropriate for the managers of post
exchanges to employ civilians for that pur-
The then secretary of war. Gen. Alger.
referred this section to the attorney-general
of the United States, and requested him to
give an official legal interpretation of its
The second clause he construed as follows:
"Of course, employment is a matter of con-
tract, and not of requirement or permis-
meaning. The attorney-general, Mr. Griggs,
sion."
THE .ARMY CANTEEN.
161
As to the effect and legal construction of
the entire clause his opinion was that
"This section does not prohibit the con-
tinuance of the sale of intoxicating drinks,
through the canteen section of the post ex-
changes, as heretofore organized and car-
ried on, except that, of course, no officer or
soldier can be put on duty In the canteen
section to do the selling, either directly or
indirectly. The latter the law prohibits."
This decision was a great disappointment
to those who desired to stop the liquor traf-
fic at the various army posts in the country,
and was made a leading feature in the
national platform of the prohibition party.
GEN. CORBIN'S OPINION.
In reply to a letter from Senator Sewell
of New Jersey, a member of the senate
military committee, who addressed the
adjutant-general of the army several queries
relating to the attitude of the war depart-
ment on the subject of the army canteen,
that officer replied officially as follows:
"War Department, Adjutant-General's
Office, Washington, D. C., Aug. 28. To the
Hon. William J. Sewell, Military Commit-
tee, United States Senate Dear Senator:
Replying to your several inquiries concern-
ing the post exchange, or 'army canteen,' I
have the honor to inform you:
"1. That the sale of all spirituous liquors
by the canteen is and has always been abso-
lutely prohibited.
"2. Only beer and light wines are sold to
either officers or men, and these only when
the commanding officer 'is satisfied that giv-
ing to the troops the opportunity of obtain-
ing such beverage within the post limits
will prevent them from resorting for strong
intoxicants to places without such limits,
and tends to promote temperance and dis-
cipline among them.'
"3. 'The canteen' was established and has
been maintained in the interests of temper-
ance and betterment of discipline, with
most satisfactory results. This is shown in
fewer trials by court-martial, in the de-
creased number of desertions, and in the
improved health of the men.
"4. The exchange is a co-operative store,
where supplies are sold at cost, or as nearly
so as possible, for the benefit of officers
and men of the army. The canteen is a
department of the exchange, constituting an
enlisted men's club. Rooms in or near the
soldiers' quarters are set apart for this spe-
cial purpose, furnished with' reading matter,
billiard tables and other games, but where
every form of gambling is absolutely for-
bidden. It is where the men write their
letters home and read the newspapers and
magazines. The government has no finan-
cial interest whatever in either the ex-
change or canteen, the funds being supplied
by the soldiers themselves. Almost every
company commander has reported in favor
of the exchange and canteen as an effective
temperance measure. One thousand and
nineteen commissioned officers have made
special reports to this effect. It may be
nper for me to say that in the beginning
pposed the canteen, but was brought to
its support by the overwhelming evidence
of its beneficent result upon the morale,
health and contentment of the service.
"As set forth in the report of Assistant
Surgeon Munson, U. S. A., who under in-
structions of the war department made a
careful investigation into the effect of the
canteen upon the health of enlisted men,
the result more than met the expectations
of those most interested in the promotion
of temperance in the military service.
"He further finds that the percentage of
desertion has been continually reduced since
the introduction of the canteen. Prior to
its introduction desertions averaged from
10 to 11 per cent annually. Sjnce its estab-
lishment these have decreased as follows:
First year to 7.7; the next year to 5.7; the
next 5,7; then, 6.3; the next to 3.6; then
5.3; the next to 3.4, and finally to 2.9.
Further, the average number of trials and
convictions for drunkenness and offenses
originating therefrom for the six years pre-
ceding the canteen was 372.5. These de-
creased during the following six years of its
establishment to 160.6. Further, for the
seven years preceding the establishment of
the canteen the average number of men who
deposited their savings with the government
was 7,273. For the seven years following
its introduction the average has increased to
8,382.
"It has been stated in the public press
that 'the receipts of the exchange are nearly
all for drink.' To meet this statement 1
have to inform you that the official reports
of the department show that the receipts
from sales of beer and light wines are and
have been less than one-third of gross re-
ceipts, being in 1898 five-seventeenths, and
in 1899 six-seventeenths.
"Taking the amount of the gross receipts
on account of the sale of beer and dividing
it by the total number of officers and men
shows that each officer and enlisted man
for the year 1898 expended on account of
beer only 20 cents a month, equivalent to
four glasses of beer per month, or less than
one glass a week apiece for each officer and
man in the military service. In 1899 the ex-
penditure on the part of each officer and
man reached an average of 58 cents per
month, or but 1.9 cents a day. These facts
make it clear that in comparison with all
other citizens the army of to-day is the most
abstemious body in our own country. There
is no community of which we have any re-
port or knowledge that will show so small a
consumption of drink per capita. This aver-
age should, in fact, appear much lower, for
the reason that citizen employes, of which
we have taken no account, have the priv-
ilege of purchase from the canteen. The
number of clerks, mechanics and teamsters
employed with an army in the field is, as
you know, very large. This number, how-
ever, is not obtainable, but, you will agree,
would very materially reduce the average of
20 and 58 cents a month.
"If there is any further information that
you desire from the records on this subject
the department will be only too glad to fur-
nish it. You must admit that the anxiety
of temperance, people outside the service
about the army is unwarranted. As "com-
pared with those existing twenty and thirty
years ago as we knew it then or with any
community at the present time anywhere in
civil life, the army is a model temperance
society; a practical one; one where reason-
able abstinence is the rule, and where ex-
cesses are the exceptions; a society whose
precepts no less than its example could be
followed by all people in safety and so-
briety. With great respect, sincerely yours,
"H. C. CORBIN,
"Adjutant-General, Major-General U.S.A."

COMMERCE OF THE GREAT LAZES.
No feature of the commerce of the United
States, whether domestic or foreign, shows
a more wonderful development than that
carried upon the great lakes. A growth in
our foreign commerce from $1,000,000,000 in
1872 to $2,000,000,000 in 1900 is remarkable,
and an increase of our exports from $444,-
000,000 in 1872 to $1,227,000,000 in 1899 is even
more striking, but this growth is insig-
nificant when compared with the growth of
commerce on the great lakes as measured
by the few available measuring rods which
the present rather unsatisfactory statistical
system furnishes.
The single point at which accurate statis-
tical statements have been kept during a
considerable term of years is at St. Mary's
Falls canal, which connects Lake Superior
with Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario;
and by a study of these figures it is prac-
ticable to compare in some degree the
growth of internal commerce on the great
lakes with that of our foreign commerce.
As already indicated, the foreign commerce
of the United States has doubled since 1872,
and the exports have trebled during that
period. During the same time the tonnage
of vessels engaged in the commerce passing
through the St. Mary's Falls canal increased
from 914,735 registered tons in 1872 to 21,958,-
347 tons in 1899, the increase having been
over 2,000 per cent, as against an increase of
100 per cent in total foreign commerce and
200 per cent in exports.
The great articles entering into the com-
merce on the lakes are wheat, flour and
other grains, coal, iron and lumber. The
statements of the quantities of these
articles passing through the "Soo" canal
illustrate the growing utilization of this
great water route for transportation of
these articles so readily transported in
bulk. In 1871 the number of bushels of
wheat passing through the canal was
1,376,705, while in 1899 the number of bushels
was 58,397,335, or more than forty times as
much as in 1871. Meantime the receipts of
wheat at Buffalo increased from 14,000.000
bushels in 1872 to 83^)00,000 bushels in 1898.
while the total amount of grain of all kinds
(including wheat in the form of flour) re-
ceived at Buffalo by lake increased from
62,000,000 bushels in 1872 to 267,000.000 bushels
in 1898. Meanwhile the exportation of
wheat and wheat flour increased from 39.-
000,000 bushels in 1872 to 222,000.000 bushels
in 1899, the increase in transportation by
lake thus being much greater proport4onate-
ly than the increase in exports from the sea-
board. Transportation of flour through the
"Soo" canal has increased with even great-
er rapidity, growing from 136,411 barrels in
1872 to 7,114,147 barrels in 1899; while grain
other than wheat increased from 445,774
bushels in 1872 to 30,000,000 bushels in 1899.
In metals and minerals the growth of
transportation on the lakes is quite as strik-
ing as in breadstuffs, the quantity of coal
carried on the "Soo" canal having increased
from 80,815 tons in 1872 to 3,940,887 tons in
1899. Coal from the Pennsylvania and Ohio
fields is supplied at low freight rates to the
Lake Superior region, where coal production
is light and fuel greatly in demand, as the
vessels which carry the iron ore, grain and
flour from the Lake Superior region carry
coal on their return trips at nominal freight
rates, and as a consequence the coal pass-
ing through the "Soo" canal has, as already
indicated, increased from 80,815 tons in ls72
to 3,940,887 tons in 1899. The product of the
Lake Superior region which is poured
through the "Soo r ' canal in increasing
quantities every year is, after grain and
flour, which have been already mentioned,
chiefly iron ore, copper and lumber. The
iron ore shipments through the canal in-
creased from 383,105 tons in 1872 to 15,328,240
tons in 1899; copper, from 14,591 tons in 1872
to 120,000 tons in 1899, and lumber from
1,742,000 feet in 1872 to 1,038,057,000 feet in
1899. The report from which these figures
were obtained indicates that they also in-
clude the traffic through the Canadian canal
(lying just alongside St. Mary's Falls canal),
which was opened to commerce Sept. 9, 1895.
Some additional and equally interesting
facts are shown for the period 1887 to 1898.
These relate to the proportion of freight
carried by American and Canadian vessels,
value of American and Canadian craft, and
cost of transportation per mile ton of
freights passing through the canal. It shows
that the percentage of freight carried by
Canadian vessels, which in 1887 was 7 per
cent of the total, was in 1898 only 2.2 per
cent. The value of Canadian craft passing
this point was in 1887 $2.089.400, and in
1898 $2,491,900; while that of American craft,
which in 1887 was $17,684,550, was in 1898
$45,199,800. the value of Canadian craft hav-
ing increased less than 25 per cent, while
that of American craft had nearly trebled,
and the total registered tonnage, as already
indicated, having increased from 913,435
tons in 1872 to 21.958,347 tons in 1899. With,
this increase in tonnage and business comes
an equally striking decrease in freight
rates, the cost of transportation pr ton per
mile having fallen from 2.3 mills in 1887 to
.79 mill in 1898.

WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF COPPER.
The following table, taken partly from official and partly from private statistics, shows
how completely North America surpasses other lands in the production of copper. It shows,
also, that the production is hardly equal to the demand; for, in spite of increased prices, it
has advanced only a little more than 9 per cent.

THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY.
The year 1901 is the first year of the twen-
tieth century of the Christian era. The
Christian ^ra has not been used from the
early days of Christianity, but was first
proposed in the sixth century and did not
come into general use for several centuries
later. The beginning of the era, Jan. 1 of
the year 1, was taken to be near the date of
the birth of Christ, but modern research
makes it probable that the actual date of
His birth was several years earlier. There
was no year designated and therefore the
years 100, 200 and so on are the last years
of their respective centuries. The number
of the year is always used from the first day
of the first month of the year, and the year
is not completed until the last day of the
twelfth month of the year. Similarly the
number of the century is always used from
the first year of the century, and the cen-
tury is not completed until the last year is
completed. Dec. 31, 1900, was the last day
of the nineteenth century, and the twen-
tieth century began Jan. 1, 1901.
