I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the democratic national convention and unqualified. ly indorse each plank thereof. Our institutions rest upon the last few years has been defended on the ground that they were necessary to secure gold with which to redeem United States notes and Treasury notes, but this necessity has been imaginary rather thaureal. Instead of exercising the legal right vested in the United States to redeem its coia notes in either gold or silver, the executive branch of the Govern ment has followed a precedent estab lished bya former Administration is produced by the application of brain and muscles to the resources of this country, there is nothing to divide among the classes of society. Since the pro- ducers of wealth create the nation’s prosperity in time of peace and de | fend the nation’s flazin time of peril, | their interests ought at all times to | be considered by those who stand in | non-produeing | | erous sympathy toward all who are | endeavoring to secure like blessings for themselves. This sympathy, while respecting all treaty obliga ticus, is especially active and earn- est when excited by the struggles of neighboring peoples, who, like the Cubans, are near enough to ob serye the workings of a government which derives all its authority from proposition that all men, being cre jand surrendered the option to the ated equal, are entitled to equal con- | holder of the obligations. This ad sideration at the hands of the Gov | ministrative policy leaves the gov ernment.

SERVICE ARBITRATION. first to avoid acts of aftirmatiye in- justice; and, second, torestrain each citizen from trespassing upon the rights of any other citizen. A democratic form of Goyernment is conducive to the highest civiliza- tion because it opens before each individual the greatest opportunities for development and stimulates to the highest endeavor by insuring to euch the full enjoyment of all the rewards of toil except such contri bution as is necessary to support the Government which protects him. Democracy is indifferent to pedi- gree—it details with the individual rather than with his ancestors. De mocracy igaores differences in wealth —neither riches nor poverty can be invoked in behalf of or against any citizen. Democracy knows no creed —recognizing the right of each in dividual to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. It welcomes all toa common broth erhood and guarantees equal treat ment to all,no matter in what church or through what forms they com. mune with their Creator. Having discussed portions of the platform at the time of its adoption, and again when your letter of notifi- cation was formally delivered, it will not be necessary, at this time, to touch upon all the subjects embraced in the party’s declaration. A DUAL GOVERNMENT. Honest differences of opinion bave ever existed, und will ever exist, as to the most effective means of se- curing domestic tranquillity, but no citizen fails to recognize at all times and under all circumstances the ab solute necessity for the prompt and vigorous enforcement of law and the preservation of the public peace. In @ government like ours law is but the crystallization of the will of the people; without it the citizen is neither secure in the enjoyment of life and liberty nor protected in the pursuit of happiness. Without obedieuce to law government is im- possible. The democratic party is pledged to defend the Constitution and enforce the laws of the United States, and it is also pledged to rea pect and preserve the dual scheme of government instituted by the founders of the republic. Tke name, United States, was happily chosen. It combines the idea of national strength with the idea of local self- government, aud suggests “an indis soluble union of indestructable States.” Our revolutionary fathers, fearing the teneencies towards cen tralization, as well as the dangers of disintegration,guarded against both, and national safety, as well as do- mestic security, is to be found in the careful observance of the limita- tions which they imposed. It will be noticed that, while the United States guarantee to every State a repnblican form of govern- ment, and is empowered to proteet each State against invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domes- tic affairs of any State except upon application of the Legislature of the State or upon the application of the executive when the Legislature can- not be convened. This provision rests upon the sound theory that the people of the State, acting through their legally chosen representatives, are, because | Labor creates capital. Until wealth | ings of free government, feel a gen- over the treasury department. The government of the United States, when administered in the interest of all the people, is able to establish and enforce its financial policy, not only without the aid of syndicates, but in spite of any opposition which syndicates may present. To assert that the government is dependent upon the good will or assistance of any portion of the people other than a constitutional majority is to assert that we have a government in form but without vital force. NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY. The position taken by the platform against the issue of paper money by the national banks is supported by the highest democratic authority, as well as demanded by the interests of the people. The present attempt of the national banks to force the re tirement of United States notes and treasury notes in order to secure a basis for a larger issue of their own notes, illustrates the danger which arises from permitting them to issue their paper as a circulating medium. The national bank note being re deemable in lawful money,has never been better than the United States note, which stands behind it,and yet the banks persistently demand that those United States notes which draw no interest shall give place to interest bearing bonds in order that the banks may collect the interest which the people now save. ‘l'o em power national banks to issue circu- lating notes is to grant a valuable privilege to a favored class, surren- der to private corporations the con. | trol over the volume of paper money, and build up a class which will claim a vested interest in the nation’s finan- eral policy. Our United States notes, commonly known as greenbacks, be- ing redeemable in either gold or sil- ver,at the option of the government, and not at the option of the holder, are eafer and cheaper for the people than national bank notes, based up- on interest bearing bonds. “THE MONROE DOCTRINE. A dignified but firm maintenance of the foreign policy first set forth by President Monroe and reiterated by the presidents who have succeed- ed him, instead of arousing hostility abroad, is the best guarantee of amicable relations with other na- tions. It is better for all concerned | that the United States should resist | any extension of European authority | in the Western Hemisphere, rather | than invite the continual irritation | which would necessarily result from jany attempt to increase the influence | of monarchial institutions over that | portion of the Americas which has been dedicated to republican gov-/| merce commission as will enable it | |to prevent discrimination between | I desire to give special emphasis to the plank which recommends such legislation as is necessary to the arbitration of difterences be- tween employers engaged in inter state commerce and their employees. Arbitration is not a new idea—it is simply an extension of the court of | justice. The laboring men of the country bave expressed a desire for arbitration and the railroads cannot reasonably object to the decision | rendered by an impartial tribunal. Society has an interest even greater than the interest of employer or em- ployee, and has a right to protect itself by courts of arbitration against the growing inconvenience and em- barrassment occasioned by disputes between those who own the great arteries of commerce on the one hand and the Jaborers who operate them on the other. IMMIGRATION. While the democratic party wel comes to the country those who! come with love for our institutions and with the determination and abil | ity to contribute to the strength and greatness of our nation, it is oppos ed to the dumping of the criminal | classes upon our shores and to the importation of either pauper or con- | tract labor to compete with Ameri-| can labor. | INJUNCTIONS. grown out of injunction proceedings have been so emphatically condemn- ed by public opivion that the senate | | ciency. | the territories or District is entirely |in keeping with democratic home | with the declaration that all public | appropriations are, in the end, more The recent abuses which have | term in appointive oflices, except where the federal constitution now proyides otherwise, would open the public service to a larger number of citizens without impairing its effi- THE TERRITORIES. The territorial form of govern- ment ia temporary in its nature and should give way as soon as the ter- ritory is sufficiently advanced to take its place among the states. New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizo pa are entitled to statehood, and their early admission is demanded by their material and political inter- ests. The demand of the platform that officials appointed to adminis ter the government to the territories, the District of Columbia and Alas- ka should be bona fide residents of rule. Iam heartily in sympathy lands should be reserved for the es- tablishment of free homes for Amer- ican citizens. WATERWAYS. The policy of improving the great waterways of the country is justified by the natioval character cf those waterways and the enormous ton nage borne upon them. Experience |has demonstrated that continuing economical than single appropria- tions separate by long intervals. THE TARIFF.

RAILROADS. The right of the United States government to regulate interstate commerce cannot be questioned and the necessity for the vigorous exer- cise of that right is becoming more imperative. The interests of the whole require such an enlargement of the powers of the interstate com- | persons and places and protect pa-| trons from unreasonable charges. PACIFIC RAILROADS. The government cannot afford to and must, therefore, prosecute its legal claims against the Pacific rail- ests of the government. cCBA.
