Bryan to Workingjian Now, hold still, and I'll cut your dollar In two without hurting' you a bit Dracr ta; cenrocvats: tnroujrnou: tno union may unite their patriotic cHorts to avert dis aster trom their country and ruin from their party. Tho democratic party Is plcdgod to equal ind exact justice to all men ot evory creed ind condition; to the largc3t freedom ot the .ndlvldual consistent with good government: ;o the preservation of the federal government n Its constitutional vigor, and tto the support 3f thn states In nil their just rights; to econ-. jmy In tho public oxpendttures; to tho main-' :cnancc of'the public faith and sound money; ind It Is opposod to paternalism and all class eglslatlon. The declarations of the Chicago convention attack individual freedom, tho right of pri vate contract, the independence ot the judici ary, and the authority of the president to enforce federal lows They advocate it reck less attempt to Increase the price of silver t3 legislation to the debasement of our mon etary standaro, and threaten unlimited Issues of paper, monoy by' tho government. Thoy abandon for republican allies tho democratic cause of tariff reform to court tho favor of .the protectionist to their fiscal heresy. In view ot these and other gravo departures from democratic principles, wo can not sup port the candidates of that convention, nor be bound by Its action. The democratic pirty has survived many dcfoits. but could not sur vivo a victory won In behalf ot tho doctflne and policy proclaimed In Its namo at Chlcaso. The conditions, howover, which mako pos sible such utterances from national conven tion are the direct result of Qasz legislation bv the republican party. It still proclaims, as it has for years, tho power and duty ot gov ernment to ralso and maintain prices by law and It proposes no remedy for existing evils, except oppressive and unjust taxation Tto national democracy hero reconvened therefore renews Its declaration ot faith in democratic principles, especially as applica ble to tho conditions ot tho times. Taxation, tariff. excise or direct, Is right fully imposed only for public purposes, and not for private palp. Its r.mount Is justly measured by jubllc oxpindlturos, which jhould Di HmltoJ by scrupulous economy. Tho sum derived by tho treasury from tarlfl and excise levies U affected by tho stato ot trado and volume of consumption. Ilio amount required 1)7 tho treasury Is determined by the appropriations made by congress. Tho demand ot the republican party foranlncrcaso In tarlfl taxation has Its pretext In the deficiency ol revenue, which has Its cmses In the stagna tion ot trade and retlucos consumption, due entirely to tho loss of contldcnce that has fol lowed the populUt threat of free coinage and depreciation ot our money or.d the republican practice of extravagant appropriations be yond ths neods ot good government We arraign and condemn the popullstlc con ventions of Chicago and bt Louis for their co-operation Kith the republican party In creating these conditions which are pleaded in Justification of a heavy increase of tho burdens ot tho people by a further resort to protection. Wo therefore donounco pro tection and Its nllr, free coinage ot silver, as schemes for tho personal profit of a fow at the expense of the masses, and oppose tho twe parties which stand for these schemes as has tile to tho people of the republic whose food and shelter, comfort and prosperity are at tacked by hlghor tnxe3 and depreciated money. In tine, wo reaffirm tho hlstorlo democratic doctrluo of tai Iff for revenue, only. We demand that henceforth modern and lib eral policies towards American shipping shall talto the place ot our imitation of tho re stricted statutos ot tto eighteenth century, which wero long ago abandoned by every maritime power but tbo United States, nnd which, to the nation' humiliation, haio driven American capital and enterprise to the use cl alien flags and alien crews; have made the btars and stripes, an almost unknown emblem In foreign ports, nnd have virtually extin guished the rate cf Ametlcan seamea Wo oppose the pretense that dlscrimiuattng duties will promoto shipping; that scheme Is nn In vitation to commercial warfare upon the Unllol States. un-American in the light ot our groat commercial treaties, offering nc gain whatever to American shipping, while greatly Increadla j ocean freights o.. our agri cultural and manufactured products. The experience of mankind has shown tb.it by reason of their natural qualities, gold Is the necessary money of the large affairs ot commerce and builness. while silver is con veniently adapted to minor transactions, and the most beneficial use ot both together can be ensured only by tho adoption of the former 'as a standard ot monetary measure, and the maintenance of silver at a parity with gold by Its limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law. Tbns the largest possfblo enjoyment ot both motals is gained with a valuo uni versally accepted throughout the world, which constitutes the only practical bimetallic cur rency, assuring tho most stable standard and especially the best and safest money for all who earn their llvlthood by labor or the pro duce ot ouscanary. They can not suffer when paid in the best money Known to man, but aro the most defenseless victims of a debased and fluctu ating currency which offers continual profits to the money changers at their cost. Realizing these trnths. demonstrated by long public Incoaventonco and loss, the demo cratic party in tho interests ot the roasted and of equal justice to all. practlcallr estab- lisuea- q:. me. legislation Ol igji nau i', iojj,' the' gold- stand to. ot monetary measurement, has likewise entirely di vorced tho government from banking and currency Issues lo this long established democratic policy no adhere, and Insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard and ol the parity therewith of every dollar Issued by the government and are firmly opposed to the freo and unlimited colna;c ot silver, nnd tc the compulsory purchaso of silver bullion. But we denounco also tho further m lntenanco of.the present costly p..tch-work sybtem o: national paper currency ni' a constant source of injury and porll We assert tho necessity of such Intelligent currency reform as will confine tho govern ment to Its legitimate functions, completely separated from the banking business and af ford to all sections of our country a uniform, safe and elastic bank currency under govern mental supervision, measured In volume by tho needs of business. Tho fldcllty.patrlotlsm and courago wttbwhlch President Cleveland has fulfilled his great public trust, tho high character ot his admin istration. Its wisdom and energy in tho moln teiianco ot civil order and the endorsement ol tho laws, its equal regard for the right of every class and every section, is Its llrtn and dignified conduct of foreign affairs, and Its 'sturdy persistence in upholding the crodlt and honor of tbo nation, are fully recognized by tho democratic party, and will secure to him a placo In history beside the fathers of the re public. We also commend tho administration for tho great progress made in the reform ot the public service, and wo Indorse its effort to ex tend the merit system still further. We de mand that no ba:kward step be taken, but that the reform bo supported nnd ndvsnced until the undemocratic spoils system of ap pointments shall be eradicated. Wo demand strict economy In the opproprl atlons and In tbo administration of the gov ernment. We favor arbitration for tho settlement of International disputes. Wo favor a liberal policy of -pension to de serving soldiers and sailors of tbo United States. Tho supreme court of tho United States was wisely established by the trainers of our con stitution as one ot tho three coordinate branches of the government. Its Independ ence and authority to interpret tho law ot tho land without tear and favor must ba matn t.lncd. We condemn all efforts to degrade that tribunal or impair the confidence and re spect which It has deservedly held. Tho democratic party ever has maintained and ever will maintain the supremacy of law, tho Independence of its judicial administra tion tho Inviolability of contract, and tho obligations of all good citizens to resist evory Illegal trust, combination or attempt against the Just rights of property, and the good order ot society, In which are bound up the peaco and happiness of our people. Believing these principles to bo essential to the wcllbclng of the republic, we submit them to tho consideration ot the American people The platform was unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Brecl:lnrldg6 tto conven tion proceeded to tho call of states for candi dates for president ot tho United States When Kontuolty was reached A. J.V.
