We pledge the Democratic]
liat'ly to Ihe enactment of a law
M'uhibiting any corporation from
•oiitribuling In a campaign fundj
mil any individual from rnntrih
iling an amount above a reason

Democratic Congress.
A( I liis lime, when I Ik* Repub
lican party, afl<*r a generation of
iiiilimif«;<! power in its control of
Ihe federal government, is rent
into Tactions, it is opportune to
Im>i111 lo the record of aecoinplish
111• *111 of t lie Democratie house of
reprcsenlal ives during the
uoiigress. We indorse ils rec
i>r<l ami we challenge comparison
of ils record wilh tlint of any
house which has been controlled
by our opponents. We call the
nllenlion of (lie patriotic citizens
of our country lo ils record of
I'll'iciency, economy and construe-,
live legislation.
; II has, among other achieve
ments, revised the rules of tho
liouse of representatives so as
to give the representatives of the
American people freedom of
speech and action in advocating,
proposing and perfecting reme
dial legislation.
II has passed laws for the re
lief of the people and the devel
opment of the country; it has en
deavored to revise I he tariff
downward in the interest of the
consuming masses, and thus to
reduce the high cost of living.
I| has proposed an amendment
lo the federal constitution pro
viding for the election of United
Slates senators by I he direct vote
>f the people.
II has secured the admission
i»f Arizona and New Mexico as
two sovereign states. It has re
inired Ihe publicity of campaign
•\jienses, both before and after
•lection and fixed a limit upon Ihe
•lection expenses of United Stales
<enators and representatives.
If has passed a bill to prevent
he abuse of Ihe writ of injunc
ion.
II has passed a law establish
ng a:i eight hour day for work
pginen on all national public
vorks.
It has passed a resolution
vhich forced the president to tako
mmediale steps lo abrogate tho
lussian treaty.
And it has passed the great
uipply bills which lessen waste
ind extravagance, and which re
luce the annual expenses of Ihe
rovernment by many millions of
lollars.
Wo approve the measure re
>orled by Ihe Democratic leaders
n Ihe house "of representatives
or the location of a council of
lalional defense, which shall de
ermine on a definite naval pro
rrarn wilh n view lo increased
ITiciency and economy.
The parly (hat proclaimed and
• as always enforced Ihe Monroe
loelrlne and was sponsor for tho
lew navy will continue faithfully
o observe the constitutional ro
inirements to provide and main
aln an adequate and well pro
lorlioned navy, sufficient to de
end American policies, protect
jur citizens and uphold the hon
jr and dignity of the nation.
Republican Extravagance.
We denounce the profligate
waste of the n^oney wrung froinj,
Lhe people by oppressive taxa
tion through the lavish appropri
ations of recent Republican con
gresses which have kept taxes
high and reduced the purchasing
power of the people's toil. We de
mand a return to tnat simplicity
and economy which befits a Dem
ocratic government and a reduc
tion in the number of useless of
fices, lhe salaries of which drain
lhe substance of the people.
Railroads, Express Companies,
Telegraph and Telephone
Lines.
Wo favor the efficient super
vision and rate regulation of rail
road , express companies, tele
graph and telephone lines engag
ed in interstate commerce. To this
end we recomeinnd th«• valuation
of railroads, express companies,
telegraph and telephone lines by
the interstate commerce commis
sion, such \alualion Id lake in
lo consideration the physical val
uation of the property, the orig
inal cost, the cost of reproduc
tion and any element of value that,
will render tin' valuation fair and
.i u s t.
We favor such legislation as
will effectually prevent the rail
road, express, telegraph and tele
phone companies from engaging
in business which brings them in
to compel it ion' with their ship
pers or patrons, also legislation
preventing the over issue of
slocks, and bonds by interstate
railroads, express companies,
telegraph and telephone lines, and'
legislation which will assure such j
reduction in transportation rales
as conditions will permit, care
being taken to avoid reductions!
that would compel a reduction of!
wages, prevent adequate service'
or do injustice to legitimate in-:
vestments. I
Banning Legislation.
We oppose the so-called Aid-;
rirh hill or tin* establishment ofj
a central l»ank, ami we believe our
country will be largely freed from j
panics ami consequent uueiuploy-i
me 111, ami business depression by <(
such a sysleinal ie revision nf ourj
hanking laws as will rondor tom-i
porary roliof in localities where!
such relief is needed, wTTIl prolot'-j
lion from control or dominalion •
by what is known as Tlio money j
trust. |
Hanks exist for I be aceoiinno-1
dation of llio public ami not for!
control of business. All legis
lation on the subject, of hanking
and currency should have for its
purpose Iho securing of those ac
conirnodalions on terms of abso
lute security to tlie public and ofi
complete protection from misuse'
of llio power that wealth Rives
to those who possess it.
We condemn the present meth
ods of depositing government
funds in a few favored banks,
largely situated in or controlled!
by Wall street, largely in return
for political favors, and we plcd£M|
our party to provide by law for.
their deposits by competitive bid
ding in The banking institutions
of Iho country, nation^ and state,
without discrimination as to lo
cality, upon approved securities
and subject to call by Iho govern-j
monf.
Rural Cradits.
Of equal importance with Ihej
question of currency reform is
the question of rural oredils
or agricultural finance. There
fore we recommend that an inves
tigation of agricultural credit so
cieties in foreiRn countries be
made, so lhat it may be ascer
tained whether a system of rural
credits may he devised suitablo
to conditions in tho United States
and wo also favor legislation per
mit ting national banks to loan a
reasonable proportion of their!
funds on real estate security.
We recognize the value of vo
cational education, and urRe fed
eral appropriations for such i
IraininR.
Waterways.
We renew the declaration in
nur last platform relatinR to the
conservation of our natural re
sources ami Iho development of
>ur waterways. Tho present de
vastation of the lower Mississippi
valley accentuates the movement j
for the rcRtilalion of river flowj
