We, the democrats of the United States in
national convention assembled, do rxnirlrm
our allegiance to those (treat essential prin
ciples of Justice and lllwrty upon which our
Institutions are founded, und which the derm--crutlc
prty has udvneated from JruYrsou's
time to our own freedom of speech, freedom
of the press, freedom of conscience. th
preservation of personal rights, the equality
of all citizens before the law and the faithful
observance of constitutional limitation-.
During all these years the democratic party
baa resisted the tendency of selfish Interests
to the centralization of government..! power
and steadfastly maintained the Integrity of
the dual scheme of government eaiat!lMh"d by
the founders of this republic of republic
Under Its guidance and teachings the great
principal of local self-government h.t.t found
Its best expression In the maintenance of the
rights of the states and In its assertion of the
necessity of conltntntf the general government
to the exorcises of thn powers granted by thn
constitution of the United State-
The constitution of the United States
guarantee- to every citizen the right of civil
and religious liberty. The democratic purty
haa always been the exigent of political hti
erty and religious freedom, and It renown H
obligations and reafllrtna Its devotion to these
fundamental principles of the constitution
Keoognlzliig that the money question Is par

money metals or the United States, and that
the nrst coinage law pased by congress undT
tho constitution modn the silver dnllur tlio
monetary unit of value and admitted gold to
free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1871 demonetising
allver without the knowledge or approval of
the American people has resulted In th ap
preciation of gold and a corresponding fall In
the prices of commodities produced by the
people, a heavy Increase In the burden of tax
ation and of all debts public and private; thn
enrichment of tho money-lending class at
home and abroad: poatratlon of Industry, and
Impoverishment of tho people.
Wear unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard which has locked fast the pros
perity of an Industrial people In the paralysis

Hrlttsb poller and Ita adoption has brought

A merle an and itean be fastened on the United
States only by the stifling of ttut Indomit thle
spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed

In the war of the revolution
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of both silver and gold at the present leg il ratio
of Id to 1, without waiting for the aid or eoniciit
of any other nation We demand th.it the
standard silver dollar ahnll be a full legal ten
der, equally with gold for all debts, pub lie and
private, snd we favor such legislation uaulM
prevent the demonetisation of any kind of le
gal tender money by private contract.
We are opposed to the policy and practice
of surrendering to the holders of the obliga
tions of the United Statoa the option reserved
by law to the government of redeem In w sueb
obligations In either silver eoln or gold coin
Wo are opposed to the Issuing of Interest
bearing bonds of the United States In time of
peace, and condemn the trafficking with b ink
ing syndlcatea which, la exchange for bonds
and at an enormous profit to themselves, sup
ply the federal treasury with gold to muint tin
the policy of gold monometallism.
Congress alone has the power to coin und
Issue moaey. and President Jackson dec It red
that thle power eould not be delegated to cor
porations or Individuals
We therefore denounce the Issuance of
notee Intended to circulate aa money by na
tional banks as In derogation of the constitu
tion and we demand that all paper whirl, la
made a legal tender for publt'i and private
debts, or which Is receivable for din s tn the
United States, shall be Issued by tho govern
ment of the United States and shall be re
deemable In coin.
We bold that tariff duties should be levied
for purposes of revenue, should also lie ad
Justed so as to operate equally throughout
tha country, and not discriminate between
elass or section, snd that tux. tlon
should bo limited by the needs of the govern
ment honestly and economically administered.
We denounce as disturbing to buvlnens the
republican threat to restore tho McKinlny
law which has been twice condemned by the
people In the national electloni and
which, enacted under the falao plea of
proteotlon to home Industry, provod a prollflo
breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched
ths few at the expense of tho many, restricted
trade and deprived the producers of the great
American staples of access to their natural
