That we re-atlirm and endorse the platform of principles enunciated by the State D emocratic Convention of 111100, with especial stress upon the fol lowing sections: "That we view wi,i alarm the power which the trusts tiough the lRepubli c(anl party are exercising over legisla tion and national polities and their ability to Control tile prices of the necessities of life without regard to the law of supply and demand. We coi dem the hypocritical attitude of the Republican leaders who abuse trusts and Combines, while they use the money obtained from them and ex torted from the people to debauch the ignorant Voters of tihe Country. "ThPliat we denounce the imperialistic policy of' the Republican administration as contrary to the letter and spirit of the I uelaration of Independence andl([ the constitution of the United States, and as dangerous to the liberty and freedom not only of the people of the Spanish islands, nbut of the citizens of this country as well.

That we re-alfirm and endorse o the correlated sections of the Kansas a City platform upon the subject of trusts z alnd imperialhsm 11s follows: I l'riVate monopolies are indefensible I and intolerable. They destroy < n. t petition, control tile prices of material 8 and of the finished products, thus rob- a billg both producer and consumer.

We hold with the United States Su preme Court that the Declaration of Independence is the spirit of our gov ernment, of which the consiition is the form and letter. We declare again that all govern ment instituted among men derive their 1 powers from the consent of the governed; that any government not based IIOn the consent, of the gov Drned is a tyranny, and that to impose ipon any people the government of force is to substitute a method of im )erialism for those of a lepublie.
