DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM— 1904.
27
Democratic State Platform— 1904.
Adopted at Greensboro, June 24
1 1)04.
The Democratic party of North Carolina,
in convention assembled, declaring anew its
allegiance to the fundamental principles of
government as expressed in former piriforms,
congratulates the people of the State that a
Democratic administration has again estab-
lished throughout their borders the reign
of law and liberty and the reign of peace
and progress. Radical rule, with its night-
mare of horrors, has passed away. Our peo-
ple are no longer employed in guarding
their homes and protecting their livis, lib-
erty and property as they were under Re-
publican rule; but, safe" in the protection
of law, breathing the air of liberty, and
er.jcying the freedom which comes from
security, our men and our women are de-
vcting their energies to the pea'jei'-il pur-
suits of honest industry, to the education
of their children and to the care of the
helpless and unfortunate. Agriculture, man-
ufacturing and commerce are bounding for-
ward in helpful rivalry, neither receiving
nor desiring subsidies or protection ocept
that afforded by a stable and honest gov-
ernment. Nowhere in North Carolina is
there riot or disorder; nowhere is there
suffering or destitution. Such are the fruits
of peace and order of honesty and efficiency,
of intelligence and patriotism, of Demo-
cratic administration under the leadership
of the peerless orator, statesmen and edu-
cator, Charles Brantley Aycock, and the
ether honest and efficient public officials
associated with him in the State adminis-
tiation in all three departments of govern-
ment.
North Carolina has again come into her
own. She stands in the forefront of South-
ern States, leading all in educational and
industrial progress. Her sons are looked Co
at home and abroad for educational, incus-
trial and commercial leadership. What :i
contrast to conditions existing lecently
when the degradation of cur educational,
charitable and penal institutions, through
the vices, incompetency, extravagance and
corruption of Republican boards of man-
agement caused The State to hang her head
in shame and stand an object of pity anions-
her sister States.
The Democratic party points with pride
to its settlement of the race problem in
North Carolina — a settlement that depends
upon Democratic supremacy for its perma-
nence. The Constitutional Amendment fur-
nishes to all the people of the State safe-
guards of peace and order, of life, liberty
ar.d happiness, and guarantees educational,
religious and social progress as well as in-
dustrial prosperity and development.
We re-affirm our constitutional decUra
tions that "religion, moralitv and knowl-
edge being necessary to good government
and the happinrss of mankind schools and
means of education shall forever be en-
couraged," and "that + he people have a
right to the privilege of education, and
that it is the duty of the State to guard
and maintain that right," and we express
our hearty approval of the educational
v.crk of the present administration, and our.
gt atification, at the great improvem .-.it
made in our educational condit'ons under
the present Democratic administra.-on, and
would call attention to the fulfillment of
the former premise of the party to provi le
at least a four months' school term for
all the children of the State. And we
further express cur cordial commendation
■ f the work of the teaching profession fo:
tin mental, moral and material advance-
r ent of the people, and pledge for the fu-
ture our best endeavors to strengthen and
increase the usefulness and efficiency of
our whole public educational system.
We approve the general principles of the
Watts law regulating the manufacture and
sale of liquors, and limiting the same to lo-
calities in which there may be adequate
police protection. The principle that no
saloon or ttill shall operate txcept under po-
lite protection is as sound as that whiskey
shall not be sold to minors, to drunkards,
or on Sundays, or near the schools and
churches. The General Assemblv has the
power, and when controlled by the D'emo-
c i n tic party can be trusted to make all
ami ndments that experiencce and conditions
rr.ay demonstrate to be wise and proper.
Ihe contrast between Ihe present and the
preceding administration of the State Prison
speaks trumpet-tongued of Democratic effi-
( Lency and Republican rascality and imbecil-
ity. In all the history of the State the low-
est level of immorality, venality, and in-
humanity wad reached in the .nanag ment
o:' the S'ate convicts under the adminis-
tration of Daniel L. Bussell. Today the in-
stitution is free from debt and has on hand
a surplus large enough to pay the bonds
necessitated by Republican peculation and
inefficiency. We pledge the party to con-
tinued business-like and humane manage-
ment of this institution.
We call attention to the success that has
attended the establishment of the insurance
department which has increased our annual
receipts by $90,000, and furthermore, in ad-
dition to this increase, that fees now re-
ceived by the State in this department
which formerly were allowed to the official
ccllecting them, are more than enough to
cover all increases and additions in sala-
ries of executive and judicial oificers.
We pledge the party to a fair and just
system of taxation in which all subjects of
taxation shall bear their just and equal
proportions of the burdens of government.
After long and careful deliberation an.l
i ■■hi. , i ■■ iK ■■• with many of its rreditors, the
State of North Carolina adjusted its debt
upi n a basis so fair and honorable as to

that can never be fully paid to these aging
heroes who offered their lives us a sacrifice

We point with pride to the record cf the
Democratic party in its care of the unfor-
tunate classes of our State and promise to

tions until all the indigent insane are cared
for at the expense of the State.
Corporations being creatures of the law
should be under control of the sovereign
and amenable to the law. But being useful
and necessary incidents of business, all
their rights should be guarded and pro-
t.'i.d by the law. Like other citizens they

sion. Especially should they be protected
from suits in form to procure receiverships
designed to wreck the properties and trans-
fer them from their rightful owners to the

turers.

At no period in the history of the repub-
lic has the Democratic party been so nee s-
sory to the welfare of the people and the
cause of free government, as it is tcday. A
conservative force, it stands a barrier
between the recklessness of organized greed
and the desperation of oppressed humanity.
Its mission is to give liberty and justice to
all. monopoly and tyranny to none; to re
the Federal government within ihe
constitutional limits of its authority, to re-
sist its even' aggression beyond the scope
delegated power; to limit its power
ition to the needs of the go /eminent
economically administered; to distribute
impartially the Durdens of g ei iment; to
■ «■ unimpaired the reserved rights of
tin States and of the people; to maintain
the right of local self-government; these .ire
and have always been among the funda-
mental principles oi the Democratic part}'.
It is especially n cessary to restrict the
executive head of the Federal government
within the constitutional limits of his au-
thority, and no argument of tcmpoiary ex-
ncy can justify the assumption by him
of powers conferred exclusively upon the
legislative department of the government or
tin violation by him of plain provisions of
constitutional, statute and treaty law.
For the last eight years the Republican
party has been in complete control of the
i ral government in all its branches. Dur-
ing that time trusts and monopolies have
multiplied. They have increase! their ex-
tortions from the people. They dominate
the Republican paity and compel it to ad-
minister the affairs of the republic in -neir
selfish interest. We condemn the President
for his surrender to trust influences and for
his failure to enforce the law against monop-
olies and monopolists. Congress appropriated
$500,000.00 to employ special counsel to en-
force the laws against trusts. In tw ive
months he expendi d for such purpose only
one-twentieth of that sum. In the midst o;
crime and havoc committed by these wrong-
doers, he will not stop the violation of
statutes enacted for the protection of the
people, nor punish the criminals who plun-
der them, although his attention was called
to the manner in which the perpetrators
might be punished by recent decision^ of the
Supreme Court.
We denounce the present iniquitous, un-
just and trust-creating protective tariff im-
posed upon the people ny th< Republican
party and demand its immediate revision,
to the end that all unjust burdens shall be
removed, and especially those apon the nec-
essaries of life and those that enab'e the
trust to extort from the people unreason-
able profits and to sell their products to
consumers at home at gr-Mter pries than
are charged f. .r the same goods to the
foreign consumer.
We review with alarm the growing ten-
dency of the government under Republican
administration toward despotic centra'iza-
tion at home, as well as despotic imperial-
ism abroad. »V«: denounce the policy of the
Republican party in building up a strong
centralized government at Washington at the
expense of the sacred rights of the sovereign
States; that which in its policy and con-
duct has reversed the clause of the constitu-
tion, reserving to the States all ligrhts not
specifically conferred upon the Federal gov-
ernment, and has assum d fe.r the central
government at Washington the vast residium
of power solemnly guaranteed to the oeo-
ple by the constitution. The ine\itahle con-
sequence of this policy and practice will be
the destruction of popular governm?nc and
'.he establishment of a military empire. Con-
fidently relying upon these fundamental
principles of government and app aling to
the record of our party in the past, we in-

Republican State PlaLform — 1904.
1. The Republican Party of North Caro-
lina, in convention assembled, at Greens-
boro, North Carolina, on this the 18th day
of May, 1904, hereby endorses and ratifies
the principles and policies enumerat.il in
the platforms of the National Republican
Party, adopted in 1896 and 1900. In spite
of Democratic opposition the policies and
principles of our party have been written
intc law, and we point with pride to its
achievements. It has blessed our country
with unparalleled prosperity. It has car-
ried happiness to every home. It has ex-
panded our commerce. It has broadened our
territory. It has made supreme our influ-
ence at home and abioad. It lias raised our
credit, until today it is the highest in the
world. It has ever stood for universal free
dom, and has carried the blessings of liberty
into the islands of the sea. It has held our
honor unsullied, and our flag untarnished,
until we have taken cur place as the arl I
of the nations of the world. Throughout its
long lease of power, its Presidents and lead-
ers have always 1 cen equal to the great
est demands: and now the country, with all
its vast and varied interests, has a Republi-
can President in the person of Theodore
Roosevelt who has shown himself no less
equal to every emi rgency, who has dcvel-
cpul a statesmanship that entitles him to
the confidence of the nation, and for Lhese
reasons we hereby endorse! his administrati "n
and pledge our earnest support for his nom-
ination and election.
2. We endorse the Republican adminis-
tration in protecting the rights of the peo-
ple against monooolies, trust's and other un-
lawful combinations.
3. We endorse the Republican party for
its action in constructing the Panama Canal,
and the neople of the United States from
all sections, especially from the South, a>e
to be congratulated upon the prospects of
so soon securing the great interoeeanic
waterway which will give new impetus to
the nation's commerce, and prove a blessing
to the country at krge, and especially to
the South.
4. We endorse the foreign' policy of ex-
parsiun •( the Republican partv by which
Porto Rica, Hawaii and the Philippines have
1 ctn annexed to the United States, thus
opening up a ne\v market to the manufac-
turers of this country.
5. We endorse the Republican party for
liberating the Cubans from Spanish tyranny
and oppression, and point with pride to
their success and progress since the estat-
lishrnent of the Republican form of govern-
ment.
(i. We deplore the death of the lat.t Sena-
tor Marcus A. Hanna, and recognize in his
exalted life and character the highest iyp t
c; the patriotic citizen, the Christian gen-
tlemar. and the wise statesman, and cherish
his life history as one of the most orecicus
heritages of the Republican party.
7. We most heartily endorse the able,
fearless and aggressive course of Hon. Thos.
S. Rollins, our State Chairman, and com-
mend his efforts for the success of the party
in the State.
8. The Republican party favors the Appa-
lachian Park, and we promise to use all
honorable means to bring about legislation
establishing the same.
9. We favor the education of the masses,
but denounce the practice of the present
D( mocratic State administration in its ef-
forts to make the common schools a part
of the Democratic machine, to be run for
partisan purposes, until their usefulness has
been greatly impaired and those most in
need of education largely deprived of its ad-
vantages. We pledge ourselves to tne cor-
nel ion of these abuses, and to so amend the
law as to remove our free schools as far as
possible from the realm of politics, and
thus prevent their being diverted to parti-
san advantages, and to give to the system
an elasticity that will inure to the nest in-
terests of those most in need of its help.
10. The Republican pa-ty favors generous
public aid to all charitable institutions in
the State, and the enactment of pension
laws more liberal arc just to the old Con-
federate soldiers.
21. We denounce the policy of the Demo-
cratic party in its effort to destroy those
they cannot use for partisan ends, which has
resulted in driving both labor and capital
from our State, thereby decreasing the
sources of tavation at the very time their
administration has bankrupted our treasury.
12. We denounce the management of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad and
Hotel by the Democratic party as incompe-
tent, corrupt and extravagant, and declare
that we favor the leasing of that property,

STATIC I)i:BT.— The old debt, excepting such as is not recoemized, has mostly been
funded under the funding laws of 1879, the time prescribed for the exchange having
ictended to January 1, 1905. These la-vs provided for the issue of (1) consolidat-
ed 4 p. c. bonds due in 1910 to fund old ante- war bonds at 40 per cent oi face value,
"New" railroad bonds recognized as valid at 25 per cent, and bonds of I860 and
166S at 15 per cent, nothing being given for overdue coupons; and (2) for new con-
solidated 6 per cent bonds due in 1919, for which the North Carolina RR. construction
bonds were made exchangeable at par, holders of construction bonds abating $240 of
le interest on each $1,000 bond. The new bonds, both 4s and 6s, carry tax-re-
ceivable coupons, and are exempt from "all State, county or corporate taxation or as-
sessment, direct or indirect, general or special." The 4s of 1903 are also exempt from
taxation. (See decision U. S. Supreme Court v. 78, P. 594; v 78, p. 124S; v 79. p.
An amendment to the State Constitution passed by the Legislature in 1S79 and rati-
fied by popular vote in 1880, forbids the General Assembly to pay or recognize as
valid the following bonds: Special tax bonds $11, "66,000; bonds to Chatham RR.,
1868, $1,030,000, and to VVilliamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000; Penitentiary bonds of
186S, $44,000. The special tax bonds are in 3 classes, class 1 bearing the coupon of
April. 1S00. and since; class 2 bearing the coupon of October, 1869; class 3 bearing the
coupon of April, 1870. Holders of the special tax bonds brought suit to establish the
validity of their bonds and the case was decided in favor of the State.
The recognized debt which had been adjusted up to December 1, 1903, stood as, tol-

PAK VALUE OF BONDS.— The consolidated 4s are $50, $100, $500 and $1,000; the con-
solidated 6s sl.OOO each. The prison bonds are for $500 and $1,000 each. The bonds of
1903 are for *500 and $1,000 each.
INTEREST on the consolidated 4s and 6s is payable in New York at the National
Talk Rank and in Raleigh.
TOTAL Dh.,T RECOGNIZED AND TOTAL ADJUSTED.— The funding act of March
•I. IS79, has been extended to January 1. 1905. The recognized fundable debt which has
been funded and the recognized fundable debt which has not been funded are. a$
follows:
Funded. Not funded.
Consols 6 per cent $2,720,000 $22,000
Consols 4 oer cent 3,408,950 210,250
To the foregoing we should add the further fact that the State does not have to
raise money for the interest on the six per cent bonds for the reason that the lease
of th<- North Carolina Railroad provides a fund for the payment of the interest there-
on, and the State holds three millions in the stock of the road, which if sold would much
