It raged against profiteers and the high cost of living without enacting a single statute to make th former afraid or doing a single act to bring th latter within limitations. Th simple truth Is that th high cost of living can only bo remedied by Increased production, strict governmental economy and a relentless pursuit of of postwar those who take conditions and are demanding and receiving outrageous profits Ws pledge th Democratic party to a policy of strict economy tn government expenditures and to tne enactment and enforcement of such legislation aa may be required to bring profiteers .before .the bar of criminal justice. 1THE. TARIFF.. We reaffirm the traditional policy of the Democratic party iu favor of e tariff for revenue only and confirm the policy of basing tariff revisions upon tne of a nonpartisan research .Intelligent commission, rather than upon the demands of selfish Interests, tempore illy held 'll! abeyance. BUDGET. In th Interest of economy end good administration, w favor tha creation of an effective budget system that wlU function in accord with the principles of The reform should the constitution. reach both th executive and legislative of the question. The supervision aspects end preparation of the budget should be vested tn the secretary ot the treasury as the representative of the president. The increased budget, as such, should not be two-thiby the congress except by a vote, each house, however, being free to exercise Its constitutional privilege of making appropriations through Indepenbills The appropriation dent blUn should be considered by single committees of the house and senate. The audit system should be consolidated and Its powers extended so as to pass upon th wisdom of, as well as th authority (or, expenditures. A budget bill was passed in th closing da a of the second session of the sixty-sixt- h congress which. Invalidated by plain constitutional defect And defaced by considerations of patronage, tbs president was obliged to veto. The house amended the bill to meet the executive objection. W condemn the Republican senate for adjourning without passing the amended measure, when by devoting an hour or tw more to this urgent public business a budget system could have been provided.

It salutes the mighty people of this great republic, emerging with tmperish-- r able honor from the severe tests and f grievous strains of tha most tragic war In history, having earned tha plaudits and the gratitude of all free nations It declares Its adherence to the fundamental progressive principles of social, economic nd industrial justice and, advance, and purposes to resume the great work of translating these principles Into , effective laws, begun and carried far by the 'Democratic administration and Interrupted only when the war claimed kll the rational energies for the single task ot victory. LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The Democratic party favors the of nations as the surest. If not league the only, pracUcabl means of maintaining the permanent peace ot the world and terminating the Insufferable burden of great military and naval establishments It was for this that America broke away from traditional Isolation and spent her blood and treasure to crush a colossal scheme of conquest. It was upon this basis that the president of the United State In prearrangement with our lies, consented to a suspension of hostilities against the Imperial German government; the armistice was granted and a treaty of peace negotiated upon the definite assurance to Germany that a association of nations must be ?:eneral under speckle covenants, for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political Independence and territorial Integrity to great and small states alike:' Hence, we not only congratulate the president on the vision manifested and the vigor exhibited in th,e prosecution of the war, but we felicitate him and hisassociates on the exceptional achleveat Parle Involved In the adoption of and treaty so near akin to Iment expressed American Ideals and so Intimately related to the aspirations of civilised peoples everywhere. for his We commend the president Courage and his high conception of good faith In steadfastly standing for the covenant agreed to by; all the associated and silled nations st war with Germany, and we condemn the Republican senate for refusal to ratify the treaty merely because It was the product of Democratic , statesmanship, thus Interposing partisan bnvy and personal hatred In the way of 'the peace and renewed prosperity of the world. By every accepted standard of national morality, tha president Is juatl- -' fled In asserting that the honor ot the country Is Involved In this business, and we point to the accusing fact that, before It was determined to Initiate polit-leantagonism to the treaty, the now Republican chairman of the senate foreign relatione committee himself, publicly proclaimed that any proposition for a separate peace with Germany, such as he and hie party associates thereafter reported to the senate, would make us of the blackest crime." guilty On Hay 15 last, the Knox substitute for the Versailles treaty was passed by the Republican senate, and this convention can contrive no more fitting characterisation of its obloquy than that mads in tbs Forum Hagaslne of . December, 1918, by Henry Cabot Lodge, when he aald: r "If we aend our armies and young men abroad to be killed and wounded in northern France and Flanders with no result but this, our entrance Into war with such an intention was a crime whten nothing can justify. The Intent of congress and the Intent'Of the president was that there could be no peace until ws could create a situation where no such war as this could recur. We can not make peace except in company with our allies. It would brand qa with everlasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also If ws undertook to make a separate peace. Thus to that which Hr. lodge, in saner considered blackest momenta, "the In 'madness 0 crime," he and hit party to give the sanctity of law; that sought which eighteen months ago was of "everlasting dishonor," the Republican party and its candidates today accept as the essence of faith. , We Indorse ths presidents view of our International obligations and his firm stand reservations designed to ' cut to against tha vital pieces provisions of the Versailles treaty, and we commend the Democrat! In congress for voting e gainst resolution for separate peace which would disgrace the nation. We advocate the Immediate ratification of the treaty without reservations which would Impair Its essential integrity; but do not oppose the acceptance of any reservations making clearer or more specific the obligations of the United States to the league associates. Only by doing this may we retrieve the reputation of ' this nation among the nations of the earth and recover the moral leadership , which President Wilson won and which Republican politicians st Washington sacrificed. Only by doing this may w hope to eld effectively In the restoration of order throughout the world and to take the place which we should assume In the front rank of spiritual, commercial and Industrial advancement. W rejectees utterly vain, if not vicious. the Republican assumption that ratification of th treaty and membership In th league of nations would In any wise Impair th Integrity or Independence of our country. Th fact that the covenant haa been entered Into by twenty-nin- e nations, all jealous of their Independence as we art of our. Is a sufficient refutation of such charge. The repeatedly has declared, and ?

During the war Presldent Wllson exhibited th very broadest conception e liberal Americanism. Tn his conduct' of the War, as In tha general administration of his high office, there was no semblance of partisan bias.

Many of them had charge of vital activities' of th government. And yet, with -- the - war- - successfully prosecuted and gloriously ended, th Republican party In congress, far from applauding the masterly leadership of thon president and. felicitating the country th amsslng achievements of the'Amer-lea- n has meanly requited government, th considerate course of the chief magistrate by savagely defaming th commander In chief of th army end navy and by assailing nearly every public of, every branch of th service Ins 9 3, 1920. tlmately concerned In winning the war abroad and preserving the security of the government at home. We express to the soldiers and sailors and marines of America the admiration of their 'fellogr countrymen. Guided by th as General Senlua of such commanders J. Pershing, the armed forces Of America constituted a declstve f actor in the victory and brought new luster to th i flag. We commend the patriotic men and women who sustained the efforts of their government In the crucial hours of the war and contributed to the brilliant administrative success achieved under the d leadership of i the president. FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS. A review of th record of the Democratic party during the administration of Woodrow Wilson presents a chapter of substantial achievements unsurpassed In th history of the republic. For fifty years before the advent of this administration periodical convulsions bad impeded th industrial progress of the American people and caused Inestimable loss and distress. By the enactment of the federal reserve act the old system, which bred panics, was replaced by a new system, which Insured confidence. It ws an Indispensable factor tn winning th war and today It Is the hope and In- spt ration of business. Indeed, one vital danger against which the American people should keep constantly on guard la th commitment of this system to partisan enemies who struggled against Its adoption and vainly attempted to retain In th hands of speculative bankers a monopoly of th currency and credits of ths nation. Already there are Indications of an assault upon th vital principles of the system in the event of Republican success In th alectlona tn November. Under i Democratic the leadership American people successfully financed their stupendous part In the greatest war of all time. The treasury wisely Insisted during th war upon meeting an adequate portion of the war expenditure from current taxes and the bulk ot the balance from popular loans; and, during the first full fiscal year after fighting stopped, upon meeting current expenditures from current receipts notwithstanding the new and unnecessary burdens thrown upon th treasury by th delay, obstruction and extravagance of a Republican congress. The nonpartisan federal reserve authorities have been wholly free of political interference or motive; and, lu their own tlm and their own way, have used courageously, though cautiously, the instruments at their disposal to prevent undue expansion of credit In the country. As a result of these- - soultd treasury and federal reserve policies, the Inevitable war Inflation has been held down to a minimum, and the cost of living haa been prevented from Increasing here In proportion to th Increase in other belligerent countries and In neutral countries which are In doae contact with the world's commerce and exchanges. , After a year and a half of fighting In Europe and despite another year and a of Republican obstructionist home, hlf the credit of th of tne government United States stands unimpaired, the federal reserve note Is th unit of value throughout all the world and the United States is th one great country In the world which maintains a tree gold marbroad-vlilone- well-defin- -- - ket We condemn the attempt of the Republican party to deprive the American people ot their legitimate pride In the financing of the war an achievement without parallel in tha financial history of this or any other country, in this or any other war. And In particular we condemn th pernicious attempt of th Republican party to create discontent among the holders of the bonds of the government of the United States and to drag our public finances and our banking and currency system back Into the arena of party politics. TAX REVISION. W condemn the failure of the present congress to respond to th demand of the president and the secretaries of the treasury to revise th existing tax laws. Ths continuance In force in peace times of taxes devised under pressure or Imperative necessity to revenue Is firoduCe a and can for war purposes only result In lasting injury to the people. The Republican tailed, congress persistently througn sheer political cowardice to make a single move toward a readjustment of tax laws which It denounced before the last election end was afraid to revise before the next election. We advocate tax reform and a searching revision of the war revenue act, to fit peace conditions so that the wealth of the nation may not be withdrawn from productive enterprise and diverted to wasteful or nonproductive , expenditure. W demand prompt action by the next congress for a complete survey of existing taxes and their modification and simplification with a view to securing greeter equity and Justice In tax burdens and Improvement la administration. ' ' , PUBLIC ECONOMV. Claiming to have effected great economies In government expenditures, the Republican party cannot show ths reduction of one dollar In taxation as a corollary of this false proteose. In contrast, the last Dsmocratio congss enacted legislation reducing taxes from sight billions, designed to be raised, to six billions for the first e.ir after the armistice, and to four billions thereafter, end there th total la loft nndlmlnlshe.1 Two years by our political adversaries. after armistice day, a.

HIGH COST OF LIVING. Th high cost Of living and the depreciation ef bond values In this country are primarily dus to war Itself, to the necessary governmantsl expenditures fpr the oealructlve purpose of war, to private extra vagance, to the world shortage of eaplfal, to the Inflation of foreign currency and credits, and In large degree to conscienceless profiteering. The Republican party Is responsible tor the fstlur to restore peace and peace conditions In Europe, which Is the prinInflation the ciple cause of world over. It hse denied the demand of the president for necessary legislation to deal with secondary and local causes.
