" '.Following is the' text of the Democratic platform adopted at the Chicago convention Section 1.' The representatives of the Democratic party of the United States in notional con vention assembled reaffirm their allegiance to , the principles of the party as formulated by Jef ferson and exempliged by a. long illustrious line of his successors of Democratic londershin from Madison to Cleveland. We be lieve the public welfare -demands that these principles be applied to the conduct of the federal government through nccossiou to power of the party that votes them; ami we solemnly declare that the need of a return , to these fundamental principles of free, popular government, based on home rule , and individual liberty, was never more urgent thnu now, when the tendency to centralize all power at the -federal capital has become a nienance to the reserved rilits of the Ktntfs that ptrikes at the very roots of our rovcrninent, and under the constitution ns frnmud by the fathers of the republic, Sec 'J. our c . for the j i ciiii; t! '-I' wl.ii !i ! ' We -. nrn the l eonle of ';:mu country, jealous -i v ' ' ion of their free i -, ! ,t the policy of 1 ( ' 1 ( f t-li'ctioilH t() ; 1 "can party lnn i i- ....;tt. 1 i , i.t fnnrghc with t he fii i : i f nacrM, scarcely h : i riomeiti .- i t han would i 1 :.:t f i i ' :lioi j i ;u ( ', :,- Iv i v on ti e t -' i i ' ; ' it the threshold of the Senate." - Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance of asclf perpetuating oligarchy of office hohlers, and the party first entrusted with itsmachiuery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist op pression which is inherent in all self governing coinmunties. Two years ago thia revolutionary policy was emphatically con demned by the people at. the polls; but in contempt of that verdict, the republican party has definitely declared in its latest authoritative iitteronce thatita success in -.the coming elections will meet he enatftmenti of the force bill and the usurpation of despotic control over election In all States'.' Beleiving that the preservation of republican Gov erment iu the United S.ates . is dependent upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the assistance of all citizens who desire to see the constitution maintained 4 In its integrity with the laws pursuant thereto which have given our country a hundred, years of uur exam pled prosperity; and;we pledge the Democratic party, if it tie entrusted with power, not only tov the defeat of the force bill, but also to relentless oppo sition to the tepublican policy of prolifigate expenditure, which in the short space of two 'years has squandered an enormous surplus and emptied an I over flowing treasury after piling new burdens ot taxatioiVupow the al ready . overtaxed labor of the couutrr. A-'f-Vi, -:' Sc. We reiterate the pft-re-peatea doctrine of the democratic party that the necessity r of the government is the duly justifica tion for taxation, sudwheuover a tax isunnecfcssary it is unjusti fiable: that when custom-house taxation ts levied upon articles of any kind produced in this county the difference detween the cost' of labor here -and labor abroad, when each- difference exists fully nJeasuresauy possible benefits to labor, and the en or-, inous additional impositions "of the existing tariff fall with crush iug force upon onr farmers and wtjrkiiigiiren,1 and for. the mere advantage of the few whom it enriches, exacts frortr labor u grossly nnjust ; share of the ex penses of the government, and we' demand such a "revision of the tariff laws as : will roinove t heir iniquit ous inequalit ies, ligh ten their oppressions and put them iu a constitutional, and equitable basis. But in inaking reductions in taxes, it is not pro posed to injure.any domestic in dustries, but rather to, promote their healthy growth., "". From the foundation of this government the taxes : collected at the custom house have been the chief source of federul reve uue Such they must, continue to be. Moreover, many .indua tries have conie to rely upon leg. islation for successful continu ance, so that any charge of law nust be at every step regardful of the labor and capital thus in volved. The process of reform I ninst be subject in the execution of this plain dictate of justice, i We denounce ho McKinley tar iff law enacted by the. Fifty-first Congress ns the: culminating atrocity of class legislation. We endorse the efforts made by the Democrats of tbo present Con gress to modify its most oppres sive feutures in the direction of free, raw material and cheaper manufactured goods thau enter into home consumption, and we propose its repeal as one of the boneficiont results that will fol low the action of the people in entrusting power to the Demo cratic party. Since the McKin ley tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of wnes of laboring men to one increase. We deny that there ban been any incr v of pros perity to the country .since that tnri;f went into o; :ation, and we point to the d and dis t;: tho wage r lions and Mi-;:. in the iron t !j as the 1 . t e i lence that i .k!i pros I i f v hiw it nltel i tin Jlc ;,; v iu t. We " c " iitc- i i !' - htf ' . tf t ' - f 1 1 " t for i t f i t.ixo!' ' i i- ; f f : t i i' r i I industry so roach as it does that of the sheriff. - Sec. 4. Trade Inchange on the basis of reciprocal advantage to the countries participating in a time honored doctrine of the democratic faith.but wedenounce the sham reciprocity which jug gles with the peopl j'b desire for enlarged foreign markets, and freer exchanges by pretending to establish trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusive agricultu ral while erectinga customhouse barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the licuest countries of the world when $he,v stand ready take our entire surplus -of pro ducts and to exchange there for com mod ies which are neccessary and are comforts of life among our own people, : t" 1 Sec. 5. ,We recognize hi trusts and monopolies, which are de signed by capital to Becure more than their just share of the joint product of capita and labor a natural consequence of - prohibi tive taxes, w Inch preveuts the free competition,' which is the life of honest trade, but ' We believe their worst evils can be ' abated by law, and we demand the right enforcement of laws made to pre vent and control them, together with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses as expe rience may ' show to be neces sary.: i V -t 'I m;';' ' Sec,. 6.' The ltepublican party, while professing a policy of re serving the public landsforsmall holding by actual settlers, has given. ;i way the peoples Leritnge until now a few railroads and non-resident alien, individiual and corporate, posrss a larger area than that of all our : farms between the two seas. 'I The last Democratic ad ministration re ! versed the improvid-nt and un wise policy of the Republican party touching the public do main and reclaimed from cor porations and syndicates;' alien ated and domestic and restored to the people, nearly one hun dred million acres of valuable hind to sacredly held as ; home steads for onr citizens, .and we pledge onrself to continue this policy until every acre of land bo unliwfully held shall be reclaim ed and restored to the people. : Sec, 7. We denounce the repub lican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890,- as a cow ardly - makeshift, . fraught with possibilities of danger iu the sup porters,, as well as Its author, anxious for its speedy repeal; we hold to the use o' both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but tho dollar unit of coinage of both metula must bed of eq ua I i ntri usic a ud exchan geable value, or to be adjusted by international agreement or by such safe guards of legislation us shall insure the manitenance of the party of the two metals and the evual power of any' dol lar at all times in the market and in the payment of debt; and ' we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with gold and redeemable in such coin. We insist upou this policy ns espe cially necessary for the protec tion'of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most de fenceless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating cur rency, ',.- -'Y'''- - Sec. 8. We recommeud that the prohibitive ten per cent tat on State bank issues be repealed. Sec. ,9. Public office is a pub lic trust. - We re-affirm the .dec laration of the Democratic na tional convention of '1876 for the reform of the' civil service, and we call for the honest en forcement o nil laws regarding the same, The nomination of a president as in the lust Repuli can convention by delegates con sisting largely of his a pj oiutees holding oflices at his pleasure is a scandalous satire upou free popular institutions aiid a start ling illustration of the method by which a President may gruti fy his n nililtion.
