Wa recognise that the gigantic trusts and combinations designed to enable capital to secure mors than Us Just share of the Joint products of and labor, and which have been capital fostered and promoted under Republican rule, are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to permanent business prosperity. A private monopoly Is indefensible and Intolerable. Individual equality of opportunity and free competition are essential to a healthy and permanent commercial prosperity; and anv trust, combination or monopoly tending to destroy these by controlling production, restricting competition or fixing prices, should be prohibited and punished by law. We especially denounce rebate and discrimination by the transportation companies as tha most potent agency In promoting and strengthening these unlawful conspiracies against trade. We demand an enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission to the end that the traveling publlo and shippers of this country may have prompt and adequate relief for the abuses to which they are subjected to in the matter of transportations. We demand a strict enforcement of existing civil and criminal statutes agalnat all such trusts, combinations and monopolies, and w demand tha enactment of such further legislation as may be necessary to effectually suppress them. Any trust or unlawful combination engaged In interstate commerce which m monopolizing any branch of business or production should not bo to transact business outside of permitted the state of Its origin. Whenever It shall be established in any court of competent Juriadlo tion that such monopolisation exists such prohibition should bo enforced through comprehensive laws to bo enacted on the subject. Wo congratulate our western eltlxens upon the passage of the measure known as the Newlands Irrigation act for the Irrigation and reclamation of arid lands of the wrest a measure framed by a Democrat. passed In tha senate by a vote and passed In the house against tha opposition of almost all the Republican leaders by a vote, the majority of which was Democratic. Wa call attention to this great Democratic measure, broad and comprehensive aa It Is, working automatically throughout all time without further action of congress, until the reclamation of all the lands In the arid west capable of reclamation la accomplished, reserving the lands reclaimed for homeeeekers In small tracts, and rigidly guarding against land monopoly, a a an evidence of the policy of domestic development contemplated by the Democratic party, should It be placed in power. The Democracy, when entrusted with power, will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and economically, thereby giving to our people what Democrats ha v always contended for great canal, furnishing shorter and cheaper lines of transportation Sad broader and less trammeled trade relations with the other peoples of ths world. ' We pledge ourselves to Insist upon the Just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper meaauree to secure for them, whether native born or naturalised, and without distinction of race or creed the equal protection of laws and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties of friendship and commerce and if under existing treaties the right of travel and to Amerloan dtlsens or sojourn la denied recognition Is withheld from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, to favor the beginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to secure by treaty the removal of theae unjust discriminations.
