Htevenon, at Illlncdn, Wl Se lected Fur Ncconil lluce on the Ticket. Silver Republican Have the Same Tick et Democratic rial form For 1(1 to 1, Kansas City, July 7. tho Demo cratic iiutiouul convention nominated William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, tor president, nud Adlui E. Stevouson, of Illinois, for vice president. The platform contains tho following: Wo, tliu representatives of the Doinocratio party of. the United Htatos, assemble In na tional convention on tho anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, do ronlllrm our faith In that Immortal procla mation of Inalienable rights of man and our allegiance to the constitution framed In har mony therewith by thefnthersof the republic. We hold with the United Ntates supreme court that the Declaration of IiHlependencv Is tho spirit of our government, of which tho consti tution is the form and letter. We declare attain that all (tovernmcnto In stituted umuiiK men derlvo their Just powers from the consent of tho governed, that any government not based upon the const t of the lovcmcd is a tyranny; ami that to impose jipon liny people a government of force Is to substitute tne mctiioas or imiHTlnllsm lor those of a republic. We hold that the consti tution follows the flan and denounce the doe trine Hint an executive or congress dcriving thcir existence and their powers from the con stitution can exercise lawful authority beyond It or in violation of it. ' We assert that no nation can long endure half republic anil half empire, that wo warn the American people that imistrialism nbroad will lead quickly und Inevitably to despotism at home. Helieving in these fundamental principles, we denounce the Porto Kleo law, enacted by a Hepubbean congress ngainst tho protest and opposition f the Democratic mi nority us a lxld and open violation of the nation's organic law and a flagrant breach of thu national good faith. It imposes upon the people, of Porto Kleo a government without their consent nnd taxation without represen tation. It dishonors tho American people by r piidintlng a solemn pledge iniide in their behalf by tho roinnuindinir general of tho army, wliloli the I'orto KlmMis welcomed to a prucctul nud unresisted occupation of their land. It doomed to poverty and distress a people whose helplessness ap peals with peculiar force to our justice and miignanii'iity. In this, the (list net of its imperialistic program, the Hepuh llcim party seeks to commit the United states to a colonial policy inconsistent with Republican institutions and con demned by tho supremo court In numer ous decisions. Wc demand tile prompt and honest fulfill ment of onr pledge to the Cuban people and the world that the United Htutes has no dispo sition nor Intention to exorcise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control over the island of Oul except for its pacification. . Tho war ended nearly two years ago, profound peace reigns oil over all the island nud still tho administra tion kis-ps the government of the island from its people while licpuhllcnn cnrpctlwg officials plunder its revenues und exploit tho colonial tlusiry to the disgrace of the American peoplo. We condemn nnd denounce tho Philippine policy of the present administration. It has invoivinl the republic in unnecessary war, sac rificed the lives of many of our noblest sons and placed the United Mates, previously known and applauded throughout the world ua tho champion of freedom, in the false and nnnmerican position of crushing, with mili tary force, tho efforts of our former allies to achieve ltls-rty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot lie citl.cns without endanger ing our civilization; they cannot be subjects without lm'H'i'iling our form of government, and as we are not willing to surrender our civilization or to con vert tho republic Into an empire, we furor an Immediate declaration of nation's purpwo to give to the Filipinos, first, a stnble form of government, second. Inde pendence, und third, protection from outside nterference, such us has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central and Kouth America. The greedy commercialism which dic tated the Philippine policy o( tho Repub lican administration attempts to justify It with the pica that It will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fulls when brought to the test of facts. The war of criminal agression against tho Filipinos entailing an annual expense of many mil lions, lias already cost more than any pos sible prollt that could accrue from the en tire Philippine trade for years to como. Furthermore, when trade Is extended at the price of liberty, the price is always too high. Wo are not opposed to territorial expan sion when it takes in desirable territory which can be erected into stutos of the ADLAI BTIVBH80I, nnton nnd whose peoplo nro willing and lit to become American citizens. We favor expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means. But we ore unnltc rably opposed to seizing or purchasing of distant islands to lie governed outride the constitution and whose people can never become citizens. We are in favor of extending the republic'! influence among the nations, but believe that influence should Isi extended, not by force and violence but through the persuasive power of a high and honorable example. The iin'Mirtnnee of other questions now pending lieforo the American people Is In no wiso diminished and the Democratic party takes no backward step from its position on them, but the burning issue of imperialism growing nut of the Kanish war involves the very existence of the republic and the -destruction of our free institutions. Wc regard it as the paramount Issue of the campaign. Tho declaration In the Republican platform, adopted at the Philadelphia convention held in Juno, INK), that the Republican party "stead fastly adhere to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine" is manifestly insincere and dttccptivo. This profession is contradicted by the avowed policy of that party In opposition to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas of terri tory and large numliers of people in the east ern hrmlsphere. We insist upon the atrict maintenance of tho Monroe doctrine and in all its integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as nwessury to prevent the extension of Euro imn authority on this continent and as essen tial to our supremacy in American affairs. At the same time we declare that no American pi-ople shall ever be held by force. Ill unwilling vubji-ctiun to Kuropcan authority. Wu oppose militarism. It means ronqnest abroad and intimidation and oppression at home. It means the strung arm which ha ever been fatal to free institutions. It Is what millions of our citizens have fh-d from in Eu rope. It will impose upon our peace loving people large stuiiding army and unncci-ssary burden of taxnt'on and a constant menace to their b' erttes. A small standing army and a well disciplinud state militia are amply sulli clout ill time of pwce. This republic hks du place for a vast military scrtr.ee and conscrip tion. In danger thu voluntoor soldier Is Ms country's best defender. Tho national guard of the I'nlted States should ever be cherished in the put riot lo hearts of a free people. Such organizations are ever un element of strength and safety. For the first time In our history and en-evil with thu Philippine conquest has there boon a wholesale departure from our time-honored and approved system of volunteer or ganization, wo denounce it as un uniorlcnn, undemocratic and unrcpub litiiii, and as n subversion of the undent und fixed principles of a five people. Private monopolies are Indefensible and intolerable. Tliey destroy competition, roiitrollhu price of all jiuiterl.il, and of the Mulshed product, thus robbing both priHlueer and consumer. They lessen the employment of labor, and arbitrarily fix the terms and conditions thereof and de prive individual energy and sinny capital of their opportunity for la-tteriinit. They are the most efficient means yet devised (or appropriating the fruits of in dustry to the iHinellt of tho few ot the ex pense, of the many, and unless tlielr in satiate greed Is chocked all wealth will be aggregated iu u few hands and tho repub lic dost royod. The dishonest paltering with the trust evil by the Republican party in Btto ond national platforms is conclusive proof of tho truth of the charge that trusts are tho legitimate pro not of Republican policies, that they are fos tered by Hupublicau laws and that tucy art 1 nP WILLIAM J. BRYAiV. protected by the Republican administration In return for campaign subscriptions and politi cal support. We pledge tho Democratic party to an un erasing warfare in nntion, state and city against private monopoly in every form. Ex isting laws nguint trusts must be unforced und more stringent ones must Is- ennctcd provi ding for publicity as to the affairs of corpora tions ent?ugert in interstate commerce and rv quiing all corporations to show, ls-foro doing business outside of the state of their origin, that they have no wn tor in their stock.awl that they luivo not nt .tempted and are not attempt ing to monopolize any branch of business or tho production of any articles of merchandise, and tho whole constitutional power of con gress over interstate commerce, the mails ond all modes of Interstate communication shall be exercised by tlui enactment of comprehensive laws uK)n the subject of trusts. Tariff laws should lie amended by putting the products ot trusts U)Hin the free list to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection, The failure of tho present Republican ad ministration with an absolute control overall the branches of tho national government, to enact any legislation designed to prevent or even curtail the absorbing power of trusts and illegal combinations, or to enforce the anti trust laws already on the statute books prove the insincerity of the high sounding phrases of the Republican platform. Corporations should be protected in all their rights nnd their legitimate Interests should be respected, but ony attempt by corporations to interfere with the public n flairs of the people or to control the sovereignty which creates thum, should be forbidden under such penal ties as will ninke such attempts impossible, Wc eond'imn the Dinglcy tariff law as a trust-breeding misure, skilfully devised to give the few favors which they desire and to place upon the mnny burdens which they should not bear. We favor snch an enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law as will enable the commission to protent individuals and communities from discriminations and the public from unjust and unfair trunsptn-tution rates. We ret firm nnd endorse the principles of the national Democratic platform, adopted at Chi cago in lNtid, and we reiterate the demand of that platform for nn American flnuncinl sys tem, miido by the American people for them selves, which shall restore nnd maintain a bi metallic price level, and as port of such system the Immediate restoration of the free and un limited coinage of silver ond gold at the pres ent legal ratio of 111 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We denounce tho currency bill, enncted at the hist session of congress, as a step forward in the Republican policy which aims to dis credit the sovereign right of the national gov ernment to issue all money, whether coin or paper, and to bestow upon national banks the power to issue und control the volume of paper money for their own benefit. A permanent nn loiiul bank currency, secured by government bonds, must havo a permanent debt to rest uisn, and if tho bank currency is to im:riaso with population and business the debt must also Increase. The Republican currency scheme is therefore s scheme for fostering upon the taxiinyers n periH'tuul nnd growing debt for the iienefit of the 1 sinks. We ore op posist to this private corporation pn)MT circu lated as money but without legal tender quali ties, and demand the retirement, of the no tional bank notes as fast as this government's paper or silver certificntt can be substituted for them. We favor an amendment to the Fternl con stitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of tho pt)pln, and we fuvor direct legislation wherever prac ticable. We lire opposed to government by injunc tion. We denounce tho black list and favor arbitration as a mentis of settling dispute be tween coriHrations and their employes. In the interest of American labor and the uplifting of the workinginan, as the corner stone of the priNperityof onr country, wc rec ommend that congress rreatea department of labor, in charge of a secretary, with a scat in the cabinet, lsdieving that the elevation of tho American laborer will bring with it Increased production and increased proMjicrity to onr country at home and to our commerce abroad. Wc are proud of the courage and fidelity of the American foldlers and sailors in nil our wars. We favor lllrul pensions to them and their dependents, ond we reiterate the posi tion taken in the Chicago platform of lutxi, thot the fact of enlistment ond service shall be conclusive evidence against disease and dis ability before enlistment. We favor the iiiiiiiedint4-cointruction. owner ship nnd control of the Nicaragnn canal hy tho Unitnl Htnti-s, and we denounce the insin cerity of the plank In thcKepnblicun platform for on I-thmian cannl In face of tin-failure of the Republican majority, to puss the bill pend ing in congress. We condemn the Ray Patincefotc treaty as a ourreader of American rights ond Interests, not to be tolerated by th" American people. We denounce the failure of the Repub lican party to carry out Its pledges to grant statchisxl to the territories of Ari zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and We promise the people of those territories imii.ediate Kt.iti'hoiHl and home rule dur ing their condition as territories, and wo fnvor home rule and a territorial form of government for Alaska nnd Porto Rico. Wo favor the continuance and strict en forcement of the Chinese exclusion law, nnd Its application to the gam ' classes of all Asiatic ratios. Jefferson saul: "Peace, commerce and honest,' friendship with all nations; en tangling alliances with none." Wo approve this whoh-somo doctrine and earnest ly protest against the Repub lican departure which has involved us in so-called politics, including thedlplomaey of Kuropc and the intrigue and Innd-grali-biug in Asia, and we especially oondemn the ill -concuulisl Republican alliance with Kngland, which, must, mean discrimina tion against orlier friendly nations und which has already stilled the nation's voice, while liberty Is being strangled in Africa. Believing in the principles of self-government and rcjivtingu did our forefathers, thf claim of monarchy wo view with indignation the purse of England to overwhelm with force the Hout African republics, rtpeuking as we do for the entire American nation except its Republican officeholders and for all fret men everywhere, wo extend our sympathies tt the heroic burghers in their uncqutil strugglt to maintain their liberty and Independence. Wo denounce the lavish appropriation ot recent Republican congresses which have kepi tuxes high and which threaten the perpetua tion of the oppressive war levies. We opsK the accumulation of a surplus to Is? squan derdered in such Iwrefnuod frauds pon tin tuxiMiyers as the shipping sultsidy bi'l which, under the falsi' pretence of prosiM'ring Amerl con ship-building, would put unearned mil lions into the pockets of favorite contributor! to the Republican campaign fund. We fuvoi the ritluetion and speedy repeal of the wai tuxes nnd a return to the time-honored Demo cratic policy of strict economy in governiiien till expenditlli e. Belle vi nx th it our most cherished institu tions are in great peril, that the very existenc, of our constitutional republic is at stake ant thedecision now to be reached will deteriniiu whether our children are to enjoy those blessei prlvilc-t of fns' government which hnv made the United Ktot( great, prosperous line honored, we inruestly ask, for the foregoint declaration 1-f principles, the hearty support of the lils-l ty-loving American people, re gurfk-ss of previous party affiliations.

New York, July 7. R. O. Dun A Co. 's weetly review of trade, issued to day, said iu part: Fttilun-s in the first half of 1UJ0 were ,Sfl2. with liubilltuw of IW).oT0,lM. There were 80 fail ures of banks and financial corporations for i5.K22.'iyj, leaving 6,8:12 commercial failures, with lmbllitii-s of 174,747,457. Had it Iss'ii predicted that tho vast Iron In dustry would be thrown from unprecedented ai-tivity into great depression, with many works dosed and pricee reduced fully aq uar ter, without failure amounting in all to K). 000, it would hnvo been thought impossible. Yet the six failure in that department for the last quarter were in all for &,H5. though Bh-Ht-iiicr pig hus fallen from $25 to f 18 and plates from 8.1 to 1.5 cents, and the average for Iron and steel products hus declined just 28 per cent since Jan. I. Some further decline is now expected before tilings are adjusted for anoth er active season, and efforts to arrange wagos are piogrcsxing. The Fall River committee has decided to close their cotton mills for a time, uud sonic of the largest wisilon worts huve btH-n closed or much reduced in fir.no. A large share of the boot and shoe force Is inactive, and no change In prices hus re sulted since those of some weeks ago, which, according to later accounts, were made by fewer of the manufacturers than was ut the time believed. The crop year for grain is over and tho outward movement of wheat has not lieen stooped, although somewhat diminished by "the vagaries in prices. While exact figures for the year will not le known for Bouio days to come, they differ very little from imi.uoil.iM.) bushels of wheat und corn together, which was almost exactly the quantity exported last year, while in lS'.W it was slight ly larger.
