For For au MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC intire crop; that ordered a 25 per cent re- duction in railroad rates dn iron ore and for the first time in ten years exacted of corpor- ats power in Minnesota the same obedience to pole Jaws us is required of the humblest itizen. cio piedge a continuance of this enlightened policy, efficient administration aud fidelity fo the people when the candidates of the democratic party are again summoned to orve the state. “The state’s law forbidding merger of com- poting ruilroads should be enforced, and that in every case; and the state's neglected power to regulate rates should be exercised as the prime remedy for discrimination and extortion. The readjustment of our tax laws is au absolute nécessity with which the present Perrine g has proved its incompetency to deal. We adopt the clear and intelligent program submitted by the democratic minority in the Jute session, the taxution of non-resident cor- porations equally with domestic, the ade- quate taxation of public service corporations and the taxation of incomes and we favor the amendment of the constitution to that end. We favor the municipal ownership of public service corporations, the gion ge of direct Jegislation and home rule in local taxation. e believe that the interests of labor can best be conserved by organization, and we demand fer every man who labors an equal use of alf natural opporcanl ee to the end that no man shall take the proceeds of another’s labor without full compensatiion therefor. We are in favor of the observance of a general eight-hour work day, and that all ing done for and supplies purchased by ate of Minnesota shall bear the union label, and pledge our support to organized labor in its efforts for securing the same. We would curreet the errors in the law establishing the state board of control, We recommend to the voters the adoption of the proposed law, whose submission to the people wus secured by the persistent efforts of the Lind administration, for the increase of the railroad gross earning stocks. We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and the election to the senate only of men pledged to that reform. Z We condemn the failure of the present state administration to enforce the law against the mi or of the Lron Range rail- roads. § ‘We condemn the surrender of the state rail- road aud warebouse commission to the United States steel trust in giving up the state’s jurisdiction ever railroads wholly within its borders and abandoning the just rates ordered by the preeeding commission, to the prejudice of the state’s interest in the school lands. We condemn the failure of the board of con- trol to conserve the efficiency of the state in- stitutions, and we abhor the theory that the public schools which are fupdamental to the life. of the republic, are ‘charitable insti- tutions. 3 We condemn the administration for con- verting the state binding twine plant into an auxiliary of the cordage trust. We condemn the Minnesota congressman for their failure to promote legislation to strengthen the powers of the interstate com- meree commission, und we regret that sub- serviency to privileged greed should compel our United States senators to vote for the iniquitious subsidy. r 0 DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL PLATFORM. Against the doctrine enuneiated by the managers and standard bearers of the Re- publican organization, as expressed in their speeches ot the past few days, to the effect that the tariff shall not:be revised even to the extent of the removal of tariff protection from the trusts, the Democracy of Minnesota, as of the nation at large, takes direct and positive issue. 5 We stand upon the Democratic doctrine, that the tariff Jaws of this country should not be a source of protection and subsidy to the trusts that are oppressing the rag le, both Wworkingmen and consumers alike. The ap- plication of the plain and simple fundamental principles of “equal rights to all und special privileges to none” cannot do injury to any legitimate American interest. and it is the violation of that law, on the other hand, that to-day makes the American people. and most of all the American workingmen, the political and industrial subjects of corporate control. When the so-cilled “infant industries” have become million-dollar and billion-dollar trusts; when they have risen to the svature and power that they not only overcome foreign competition abroad, but defy the Ametican people at home; when, protect- ed by the tariff laws enacted for their protection, they make use of them to tax the American people 25 per cent to 100 per cent higher than they levy upon the consumers abroad; when, protected by these tariff laws, they oppress labor and even deny it the common right of organization; when the taxes levied by them upon the necessaries of life far exceed in volume and hardship all the direct tuxes levied for the support of the PLATFORM, We de declaration of \independence; nee to the principles orth in our national as especially government; when, in‘order to maintain this unjust tax power, they exercise all the power which capital and business influence can command to dominate congress and the national administration, and uow after an era of the highest and most liberal protection ever known to the nieiony. of nations, they le taught by that great exponent of democracy, | announce through the leaders and managers Thomas Jefferson; and a: firmed in the | Of the party in power that the tariff cannot jatest national convention of the democratic | and shall not even be revised—we submit, in party We further express our admiration for and gratefal appre mn of the great ability the name of Democracy and in the name of the people regardless of party or class, that it is time that the government ceased to be their shelter and instrument of extortion, and that si disinvere: and untiring wal ir t in the servi nity of that great | the trust, like the common citizen, submit to jeader of thi y und most fearless | the universal principle of “equal rights to and eloquent champion of the rights of man, | all and special privileges to none.’ William J.

Gov. Bob Stewart, Bourbon and Democrat, was the most picturiBque character who ever occupied the exec- utive mansion in Missouri, He de- feated Major James S. Rollins for governor in 1857. The governor was from St. Joseph and many are the stories told of this eccentric and er- tatic westerner. The following inci- dent illustrates Gov. Stewart’s keen noted throughout Misscuri. It was sense of humor for which he was the custom of the governor to question the convicts in the penitentiary as to why they were imprisoned.. The in- variable answer was an avowal of in. aucence and of wrongful conviction. Finally, in his rounds he encountered one prisoner, who said he was im prisoned for horse stealing, “Are you guilty?” asked the governor. “Well governor, I guess I am; I took the horses,” rejoined the man in stripes, “Get right out of this penitentiary,” Governor Stewart vehemently replied. “You will contaminate all these in- nocent men who have been wrongful- ly placed here.” ‘The fellow was released immediate- ty und a pardon was filled out for Dr. Temple's Temptation. When Dr. Temple, the present Pri- mate, was head master of Rugby school he paid a visit to Dr. Benson, his predecessor in the See of Canter- bury, who was at that time the mas- ter of Wellington College. One after. noon the two went for a stroll through the woods behind Heath Pool. Benson began to point out to his companion the sylvan beauties of the place, calling his especial attention to a magnificeng beech tree. For a while Temple ad- mired it in silence, then suddenly ‘crying, “I can’t resist the temptation. Look out!” made a rush for the tree, und, ere his amazed friend could grasp the situation, had scrambled up the trunk and seated himself among the branches. Then the two future Arch-~ bishops, looking at each other, broke into a burst of schoolboy merriment. — i Golden Penny. a DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. OABINET OFFICE NUMBER NINE.
