THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1912
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
(Continued from page six.)
j rieiy or value and iu the development
{ of a mining industry nnequaled in its
I magnitude und importance. We honor
the men who in their hazardous toil
underground daily risk their lives in
extracting and preparing for our use
the products of the mine so essential
to the industries, the commerce and the
comfort of the people of this country.
And we pledge ourselves to the exten
sion of the work of the bureau of
mines in every way appropriate for na
tional legislation with a view to safe
guarding the lives of miners, lessening
(he waste of essential resources and
promoting the economic development
of mining, which, along with agricul
ture, must iu the future even more
than in the past serve as the very foun
dation of our national prosperity anil
welfare and our iuternal commerce.
Agriculture.
We believe in encouraging the devel
opment of a modern system of agricul
ture and a systematic effort to improve
the conditions of trade in farm prod
ucts so as to benefit both the consum
ers and producers. And as an efficient
means to this end we favor the enact
ment by congress of legislation that
will suppress the pernicious practice of
gambling in agricultural products by
organized exchanges or others.
Merchant Marine.
We believe iu fostering by constitu
tional regulation of commerce the
growth of a merchant marine which
shall develop and strengthen the com
mercial tic . which bind us to our sis
er republic® of the south, but with
out additional burdens upon the people
nnd without imposing bounties or sub
sidies from the public treasury.
We urge upon congress the speedy
enactment of laws for the greater se
■urity of life and property at sea. and
we favor the repeal of all laws and
be abrogation of so much of our
reaties with other nations as piovide
for the arrest and imprisonment of
seamen charged with desertion or with
violation of their contract of service.
Such laws and treaties are un-Ameri
can. and violate the spirit if not the
letter of the constitution of the United
States.
We favor the exemption from tolls
of American ships engaged in coast
wise trade passing through the Pana
ma canal.
We also favor legislation forbidding
the use of the Panama canal by ships
owned or controlled by railroad car
riers engaged in transportation com
petitive with the canal.
Pure Feod and Public Health.
We reaffirm our previous declara
tions advocating the union and
strengthening of the various govern
mental agencies relating to pure foods
quarantine, vital statistics and human
health. Thus lifted and administered
without partiality to or discrimination
against any school of medicine or sys
tem of healing, they would constitute
a single health service, not subordi
nated to any commercial or financial
Interests, but devoted exclusively to
the conservation of human life and ef-
ficiency. Moreover, this health servio
should co-operate with the health
agencies of our various states an'
cities, without interference with theii
prerogatives or with the freedom o*
individuals to employ such medical or
hygienic aid as they may see fit.
Civil Service Law.
The law pertaining to the civil serv
ice should be honestly and rigidly en
forced, to the end that merit and abil
ity shall be the standard of appoint
ment and promotion rather than serv
ice rendered to a political party, and
we favor a reorganization of the civils
service, with adequate compensation >
commensurate with the class of work
performed, for all officers and eui
ployees; we also favor the extension
to all classes of civil service employees
the benefits of the provisions of the
employers' liability law.
We also recognize the right of direct
petition to congress by employees fot
the redress of grievances.'
Law Reform.
We recognize the urgent need of re
form in the administration of civil and
criminal law in the United States, and
we recommend the enactment of such
legislation and the promotion of euck
measures as will rid the-present legal
system of the delays, expense and un
certainties incident to the system as
now administered.
The Philippines.
We reaffirm the position thrice an
nounced by the Democracy in national
convention assembled against a poliej
of imperialism and colonial exploita
tion in the Philippines or elsewhere
We condemn the experiment in im
perialism as an inexcusable blnndei
which has involved us in enormou3 ex
pense, bi-ought us weakness instead ot
strength and laid our nation- ope*> to
the charge of abandonment of the fun
damental doctrine of self government
We favor an immediate declaration of
the nation's purpose to recognize the
independence of the Philippine islands
as soon as a stable government can be
established, such independence to be
guaranteed by us until the neutraliza
tion of the islands can be secured b:
treaty with other powers. In recog
nizing the independence of the Phil
ippines our government should retain
such laud as may be necessary foi
coaling stations and naval bases.
Arizona and New Mexico.
We welcome Arizona and New Mexi
co to the sisterhood of states and
heartily congratulate then; upon their
auspicious beginning of great and glo
rious careers.
Alaska.
We demand for the people of Alaska
the full enjoyment of the rights and
piivileges of y territorial form of gov
ernment, and we believe that the offi
cials appointed to administer the gov
ernment of all our territories and the
District of Columbia should be quali
fied by previous bona fide residence.
The Russian Treaty.
We commend the patriotism of the
Democratic members of the senate and
house of representatives which com
pelled the termination of the Russ'an
treaty of 1832, and we pledge ourselves
anew to preserve the sacred rights of
American citizenship at home and
abroad. No treaty should receive the ,
sanction or our government which does
not recognize the equality of ail of our
citizens irrespective of race or creed
and which does not expressly guaran
tee the fundamental right of expatria
tion.
The constitutional rights of Ameri
can citizens should protect them on our
borders and go with them throughout
the world, and every American citizen
residing or having property in any fo:
eign country is entitled to and mus'
be given the full protection of the Uuit
ed States government, both for h;msel.
and his property.
Post and Rural Delivery.
We favor the establishment of
parcel post or postal express and als; i
the extension of the rural delivery sys
tem as rapidly as practicable. I
Panama Canal Exposition.
We hereby express our deep interest
in the great Panama Canal exposition j
to be held in San Francisco in 1913 anu
favor such encouragement as can be
properly given.
Protection of National Uniform.
We commend to the several states
the adoption of a law making it an
offense for the proprietors of places of
public amusement and entertaii ment
to discriminate against the uniform of
the United States similar to the law
passed by congress applicable to the
District of Columbia and the territo
ries in 1911.
Pensions.
We renew the declaration of our last
platform relating to a generous pen
=iion policy.
Rule of the People.
We call attention to the fact thnt th«
Democratic party's demaud for a re
rum to the rule of the people express
ed in the national platform four years
igo has now become the accepted doc
trine of a large majority of the elee,
:ors. We again remind the country
hat only by a larger exercise oi' th«
reserved power of the people can thev
>rotect themselves from the misuse ot
ielegated power and the usurpation oi
governmental Instrumentalities by spe
cial interests. For this reason the na
tional convention insisted on the over
throw of Cannonism and the inaugura
tion of a system by which United
States senators could be elected by di
rect vote. The Democratic party of
fers itself to the country as an agency
through which the complete overthrow
and extirpation of corruption, fraud
and machine rule in American politics
can be effected. .
Conclusion.
Our platform is one of principles
which we believe to be essential to one
national welfare. Our pledges are
made to be kept when in office as well
as relied upon during the campaign,
and we invite the co-operation of all
citizens, regardless of party, who be
lieve In maintaining unimpaired the in
stitutions and traditions of our
try, I
