DIYIOCRATIC PLATFOiIM. We the Deriocrats of the United StatIe in national convention 1 semii ii i, to r. atlirmn our allegiance to thbse geoat c-sea rtaal principles of justice an a liberty upin which our iaistitnttions are flondeil aiil which the Democratic p rtv has advilerta ed from .Jel':-rson's tinm to (1tr ovnii, fre., sloma of speech. freedom of the lires. fice slom of runscietlce, the plursirvata in of personal rights the equality of all citizens before the law, and the faithfal olmerv ainc of constitul ioaIl imitations. During all these vears the emaocratic party has resisted the tenlllencv of sellish interests to the centralization of govern mental power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of gov- . ernment established by the foiunders of j this rbpoblic of repuiblics. Under its guidance the great principle of local self I itovernnient has found its best expression ) it he imaintainanas of the rights of the States and iu its assertion of the necessi ty of oondning the general got ertinent to the exercise of the powers granted by the Constitut ton of the United States. "Recognizing that the mioney system is paramount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the Fed feral Constitution names silver and i old together as the money metals of the latit sed States, and that the first coinage law passed by Congress under the Constitn ti an made the silver dollar tile monetary unit alid admitted gold tie free coinage itt a ratio based upon the silver dollar upit. I We declare that the act of 1$7?, de monetizing silver without the knowledge or approval of the Amerin'n people. Li's resulted in the appreciation of (Iold am1 d a corresponding tall in the prices of c'oml inodities produced by the people: a hietlvy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts. pttllic ainid private; the i'a richnientof the imoney 'lending class at home and abroad; prostration of industry and iupoverishmett of thei people. We are unalterably opptsd il to tiI' monometalligm,which has locke' fist the prosperity of sti industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. A Gold mon iet allisam is a British policy,-and its aloptipn has brought other natioiit into fina:ncia. servitude to London. It is not only un; American, butanti-Amsnwean, and it can be fastened on the Unitedu States only by' the stifling of that spirit and love of litb erry which priloclaimle our political inde pendence in 1776. and won it Ii the war of the Revolution. We deumasd the free and unliiieied coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any oth er nation. We deniand that the st lndard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender equally with gold, foi 'all debts, public, and private, and we favor such legisla tion al will prevent for the future the ie monetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and prac tics of surrendering to the holders of the I obligations of the United States the op tioin reserved by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin'orgold coin. We are Opposed to the issuing of inter est-hearing bppds of the United States in time of peace acid condemn the crafficking with banking syndicates which, in ex eharige for bonds and as an enormous profit to themselves, supply the Federal treasnry with gpid to maintain the policy of Old monomettajllism. Congres alonie has the power to coin bad is~uemoney, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be del gated to corporations or individuals. We therefore demand that the power to issue .aotes to circulate as motley be taken from national bains and that all naper mon ey shall be issued directly by thc Treasury Department, redeemable in coin and receivable for all debts, public and1 pri vate. Weisold that the tariff duties should be levied for purposes of revenue, such duties to be so adju ted as to operate egruallythroughout the country, and not diserhuinate,botween class and section, an4 that taxation should be limited by the needs of the government, honestly and economicaly administered. We de nouneeas diatnrbing to business the Re publican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has twice been condemned by the people in national elections, and which, enacted under false plea of pro teetios, to home industry, proved a prolific breeder of truss and monopolies, enrich ed the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade and deprived the produ cers of the great American staples of ac cess to their natural markets. Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for further changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to make up the deficit in revennuE, ceused by the adverse decision by the'sepisme court on the income tax. But for this there would be no detfict in r evepne nder the law passed by a Democrat Con gress, in strict pursuance of the uniform decisions of that court having that decision sustained, constita tionalobjection to its enactment, which has bspn overruled by the altjudges wno ever sat on that bench. We declare that It is' the duty of Congress to all the constitutional power which remains after. that decision or which may come from its reversal by the court as it mas hereafter be constituted, so that the burdens of taxation may be equally and impartially laid to the end that wealth inay bear its due proportionate expenses of the govern mnent.: We hold that the most efficient way to protect American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and that the value of the homontarket to our farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by avicious monetary system, which de presses the price of their products below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of themneansof purchasing the pro ducts of our home manufactureers, The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading railway - systems and the formation of trusts and }ools, require a stricter control by the Federal Goverunient of those arteries of conmerce., We demand the enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Coinnierce Commission and such -restrictions and guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and o jression. Wsdenounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by op pressive taxation and t he lavish appro primtions of recent Republican (Jongress ,es which haye kept taxes high while the labor that pays them is uti.:mployed, and the product of the people who puty it arc depressed in price till they no longer re pay the cost of prodietion. N'Ve demand a return to that sismplicity and economy which best boeitsa )enesm crrtic government, and. a reduction in the number of useless ottice.; the salaries of which drain the substavces of the peopl:. We denounce arbitrary interference by Federal authorities in local atihirs as a violation of the Constitution of the Unit ed States and a crine against free institu tions, and we especially object to govern-, maent hy injunction as a new mnd highl dancerous form of oppression by' which Federal .Jndges, in contempt of the laws o the States and the rightsof cit izens,be .uune at once legislators jmudges and exe ('ntieli'er'i' 'anu wxe appirilvi th'lip 1:i4a..ss-d at the laist x'ss', ofi 01lr II' (1 41 "tit'-' 1-") ,100 14to ~ li o ;inpv Ilgf44" 11' 1~~L , Il it 1:i el aired.''' -~. -i11,x-ii i tue"4 1i~i41 d+'uu.1tiir' t Illd (oI rit I:'' eui l : t:is i'.. *.t') 11:111 (111( f llillil ' 1'4 j1.1.: Wet .t" -:l ti V 4li` ' Tit '' he prue 4ii hit' ilt4'111e.4t Cintl :esi' to en P4'u.ot s a 11414 li 41144 tia:eS' i L e trd va fat he rue il jtiihii 1444ls11t -.ti1C4.11t~415 4t 144 o Petlia' l' ti 1'.t nlili t m ej i lt ir e arnis'W it. a We fav-or the' a41444jssloi of1 the 'irrttor 1454 of New Mesxicoi aid Arizisuta i.4to the Unionas 1S ttates, and we favor the early admisto o~1441f all the Territories havintg he 4iece~tsi4.y populatio 1114nd resourves (enhtitling thlem to) SItatehtood. 1011 while tin-v r-matn '1 errlt'4r1'u we Loaft that the. e4lln1ltInt of tulv T'erritory,' tolgettier vv ithli the i)istriu~t of Colultl bit auld Aiiska. 5h114014 be' boilia title rei'itdeutst o tie T 'r Iritelry 44r ist nt i1n W!4tit I heWitdntti'5are to be performed, ilie 1)euortie':t4 partr;y hands(1, of theUit Aled Stlates shou4ld4 be. up plie to the estltiIisiluclit. of free' hoteus V\T1"' Ineeuttieihl ti- I tie tern tor",' of terrtitorx.
