I DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ||
< ►. A'
Wo, the representatives of the
Dentocralic party of the United
States, in national convention as
sembled, reafTirm our devotion to
the principles of democratic gov
ernment formulated by Thomas
Jeirerson and enforced by a long
and illustrious line of democrat
ic presidents.
Tariff Reform.
We declare it to be a funda
mental principle of the Demo
cratic party that the federal gov
ernment under the constitution
has no right or power to impose
or collect tarifl' duties, except for
the purposes of revenue, and we
demand that the collection of
such laxi's shall be limited to the
necessities of government, hon
estly and economically adminis
tered.
The big Republican tarifl' is the
principal cause of the unequal
distribution of wealth; it is a
system of taxation which makes
the rich richer and the poor poor
er; under its operation the
American farmer and laboring
man arc the chief sufferers; it
raised the cost of die necessaries
of life to them, but does not. pro
tect their products or wages. The
farmer sells largely in free mar
kets ami buys almost entirely in
the protected markets.
In the m i is I highly protected
industries, such ;is cotton and
wool, steel and iron, the wages
of ttie laborers are Hie lowest paid
in any of our industries. We de
nounce I tie Republican pretense
on that, subject and assert thai
American wages are established
by competitive conditions and not
by the tariff.
We favor the downward revis
ion of the existing and, in many
cases, prohibitive tariff duties,
insisting that malcrial reductions
be speedily made upon the nec
essaries of life. Articles entering
into competition with trust-eon
Irolled products and articles of
American manufacture which are
sold abroad more cheaply than at
home should be put on the free
list.
We recognize Ilinl our system
• if liirifl* luxation is intimately
connected willi I hi* business of
I he country and we favor I ln» nI—
limalc allaiiimonl of Iho prin
ciples wo advocate by logislalion
lhal will not injure or destroy
logiliniaI«' industry.
WV denounce the action <»f
President Tafl in vetoing Iho
bills to reduce I In* tariff in ci»l
lon, woolen, metal and chemical
schedules and lln» fanners' free
!isl bill, all of whirli wore dosiprn
.•d li» give immediate relief to Iho
masses from Iho oxaeliiuis •»f Iho
I rusls.
The Republican parly, while
pr orM-dug tariff revision, has
•in»\vi: liv ils larill" legislation
Dial such revision is not in iho
pe iple's interest and, having boon
fa it h Jess li» its pledges «>f 1008,
ii should no longer enjoy the oon
I'driieo ol ihe nation. We appeal
to the -American people to sup
porl lis in our demand for a lar
itr for revenue only.
. High ost of Living.
The high cost of living is a
serious problem in every Ameri
ean home. The Republican parly
in ils platform attempts lo es
cape from responsibility for pres
ent romlilions by denying that
they are due to a protective lar
ill'. Wo lake issue with fhoni on
this subject and charge that ox
eossivo prices result in a large
measure from the high laritT laws
enacted and maintained by Iho
Republican parly and from trusts
and criminal conspiracies, fos
tered and encouraged by such
laws, and we assert I hat no sub
stantial relief can bo secured for
the people until import duties on
I he necessaries of life are ma
terially reduced and these crim
inal conspiracies broken up.
Anil-trust Law.
A private monopoly i* inde
fensible and intolerable. We,
therefore, favor the vigorous en
forcement of the criminal as well
as the civil law against trusts and
trust officials and demand Iho en
actment of such additional leg
islatun as may be necessary to
make il impossible for a private
monopoly to oxi*l in the United
SI ales.
We favor Iho declaration by
law of (lie conditions upon which
corporations shall be permitted
to engage in interstate trade; in
clude among others the preven
tion of holding companies of in
lerlocking directors of stock-wa
tering, of discrimination in prico
and Iho control by any one cor
poration of so large a proportion
of any industry as to make it a
menace to competitive conditions.
We condemn the action of the
Republican administration in
compromising with the Standard
Oil company and the tobacco
trust and its failure to invoke the
criminal provisions of the anti
trust law against the officers of
those corporations after the court
had declared the». from the un
disputed facts in the record they
had violated the criminal provis
ions of the law.
We regret that the Sherman
anti-trust law has received a ju
dicial construction depriving it of
much of its efficiency and we fa
vor the enactment of legislation
which will restore to the statute
I lie strength of which it has been
deprived by such interpretation.
Rights of the States.
We believe in I he preservation
and maintenance in their full
strength and integrity of the
three coordinate brandies of the
federal govci'iuriciil-1 he execu
tive, legislative and the judicial, i
each keeping within its own
Imiiim(|s and nol encroaching up
on I he just powers «»f either of
I he stales.
Relieving I ha I I lie most efl'i
eienl results under our system of ;
government are to lie attained by)
the full exercise by the slates «• f [
their reserved sovereign powers, I
we denounce as usurpation the!
efforts of mil* opponents to de
prive I lie slates of any of the 1
rights reserved to them and to
enlarge and n|agn il'y by indirec
lioii tile powers of the federal
government.
We insist upon I lie full exer
cise of all the powers of the gov
ernment. both state and national,]
to protect the people from injus-|
lice at the hands of those who
seek to make the government a;
private asset in business. There!
is no twilight /one between the!
nation ;iml the slate in which th,*
exploiting interests can lake ref
uge from both. It is as neces
sary that the federal government i
shall exercise the powers dele-1
gated to il as if is that the slates!
shall exercise the powers rescrv-',
ed to them, but we insist that'
federal remedies for the rcgula-j
lion "f interstate commerce and
for the prevention of private mo- j
nopoly shall he added lo and not I
| stihst il tiled for 'stale remedies.
