squarely for "free trade." Ir. oth-
er words, he would abolish, alto-
gether the tariff which he says robs
the poor classes and makes richer
the rich classes. He Bays that the
tariff is a breeder of trusts. "If it
is democracy to benefit the masses
with a small tariff." he says, "then
how much better It would be with
no tariff at all? Under the plea of
building manufactories and benefit-
ing labor, we rob a hundred people
to benefit one."
Captain Street comes flatly out
in opposition to negro suffrage. On
this subject he says:
'"History shows that God has
cursed every, nation which divided
Its franchise with an inferior race.
I believe the people of the United
States favor amending the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, so as to
allow only white people nnd Indians
l orn in the United States, to be cit-
izens. Congress can submit that
question to each of the States."
In reference to our immigration
laws he says:
"Our immigration laws should be
amended so as to permit no foreign-
er to become a citizen of the United
States except white men who can
read and write the English language
and who know what the constitution
of the United States and the state
they reside in teach."
He is opposed to gambling in "fu~
tures,' and would recommend, a
Federal law regulating same. He is
opposed to the Government doing a
general job printing business, ex-
cept for government purposes. He
is In favor of a Federal law requir-
ing the settling of disputes between
capital and labor (employer and em-
ploye) by a National Labor Bureau.
He favors a sweeping change In the
criminal laws of the country, so that
a thief should be imprisoned until
he paya the cost of bis corfvictlon,
and pays also the value of what he
Blears to the owner. He Is opposed
to tho hiring of a manager by a
candidate for any ofllce. He Is in
favor of every man conducting his
own campaign. He is opposed to the
initiative, referendum and recall,
arguing that it would entail contin-
uous elections and cost a worthless
tax.
These are some of the most im-
portant features of his platform,
and they seem to have struck a pop-
ular ithord.
"For Ye Hungry Editors."
