due to bryan's efforts, a plank in the platform called for federal legislation requiring the publication of campaign contributions, limiting the amount that individuals could donate, and banning contributions from business corporations (via their officers), the last punishable by imprisonment. the platform reiterated the party's longstanding support of tariff reform and welcomed republicans' "tardy recognition of the righteousness of the democratic position". labeling private monopoly "indefensible and intolerable," the trusts plank advocated three laws: banning directors from sitting on the board of more than one competing business, federal licensing of any corporation before it could control 25% of a market and prohibiting control of over 50% market-share of an american-consumed product, and requiring corporations to sell to all purchasers on the same terms (except for transportation costs).
