CHICAC'O, July S The platform to be reported to the convention by the naiority of the Committee on Kesolu- ;s follows : r,.-HKSOXIAN PRINCIPLES REAF , ,:' ' FIRMED. tic meat granted "c, the Democrats of the United States,' in National Convention assem .' blCt'; :.; reaffirm our allegiance to those :rt'3t essential principles of 'jus tice and liberty upon which our institu tions are founded, and which the Dem ocratic party has advocated from Jef. (erstnVtime to our own freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of per sonal rights, the equality of all citizehs before the law and the faithful observ ance of constitutional limitations. CENTRALIZATION'. OF POWER RESISTED. During all these years the Democrat ic party has resisted trie tendency of governmental, power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual system of government established by the founders of this Republic of Repub lics. X'nder its guidance and teachings the great principal . of local self-government jias found its best expression in the maintenance 'of the rights of the States and in its assertion pf,the neces sitp of ' confining the general govern- ta the exercise of the powers i ... . by the Constitution of the United States. ' SlLV-feR ONCE THE UNIT OF VALUE. ... Rt-cogdizing that the money question is parrjibunt to. all others at t,his time, we invite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution names silver and goldtogether as, the money metals of the United States, and that the first coinage law passed by Congress under the Constitution made the silver dol lar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver dollar unit. "' : THE CRIME OF '73. We declare that the act of 1873, de monetizing silver without 'the know ledge or approval of the American people,! has resulted in the appreciation goUl and a corresponding fall in the price of commodities produced by the people ; a heavy increase in 'the burcfe-n of taxation and of all debt, public and private; the enrichment, ot the money leuder class at home and abroad ; pros ration and(impoverishment of the peo : pie. i - ' . . . " ' MOiNOMETALISM DENOUNCED. We are unalterably opposed to mo nometallism which has locked fast the prosperity of an industrial people in the - paralysis. of hard times..- Gold mono metallism is a British policy, and its adoption has brought other nations in to financial servitude tLondon. It is not. only un-American, fJut anti-American, and it can, be fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that 1 spirit of love and liberty which pro claimed our political indpendence in !"-and won in it the war of the Rev- FREE COINAGE AT 16 tO I.

TV ' . t j. - j - -cuui u apartment, De re deemable in coin and receivable for all debts-, public and private. : - TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY. We hold that tariff duties should be levied for the puipose of revenue, such duties to be adjusted . as to, operate equally throughouMhe country and not discriminate between class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the Government honestly and economically administered. ; M'fUNLEYISM THREATENS TRADE. We denounce as disturbing to busi ness the Republican threat to restore the McKinl'ey law, which has been twice condemued by the people'm na tional electiqns, and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home industry, proved a prolific breed er of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of themany,- re stricted trade and deprived the pro ducers of the: great American staples, to their natural market." i ' . INCOME-TAX LAW RKPEAL. Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitatitation for further changes in our tariff laws, ex cept such as are necessary to make up the deficit in revenue caused by the ad verse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. But for this decision by the Supreme Court there would be no deficit in the revenue under the law passed'by a, Democratic Congress, irf .... " " ' 1 -- ; , - , . Present j legal ratio of 16 to 1, without : waiting for the aid or consent of any other nhtion. We demand , that the r standard silver dollar shall be a full le gal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public and . private, we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetation of any kind of eSal-tender money by private contract; "fiJECT TO "GOLD" BONDS. :. e aiic opposed to the policy and Practu:ejof . surrendering to the policy ; Riders of the obligations of the United ' ales to the option reserved by law to oh ernment of redeeming such Rations in either silver or gold coin. I'-OND ISSUE DENOUNCED. "e are opposed to . the issuing of in-st-bearing ' bonds of the United in time of peace : and condemn e tratnchig with banking syndicates a lch I" exchange for bonds and at J.fcnorni()us profit to themselves, sup ?

We declare that it is the duty of Con gress to use all the constitutional power which remains.aftet that decis ion, or which may come from its re versal by the court as it may, hereafter be constituted, so that the burdens may be equally and impartially laid" to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of the expenses of the Gov ernment. : I ! FOR RESTRICTED iNltlGRATION. 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 same marekt, and that the valueof the ; home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reducedjby a vicious moneta ry system w hice depresses the prices of their products below the cost of pro duction, and thus "deprives them of the means of purchasing the products of our home manufactures. . , FEDERAL RAILROAD OWNERSHIP. "The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading railroad systems and the formation of trusts and pools require a stricter con trol by the Federal ; Government of those articles of commerce. We de mand the enlargement of the powers of the InterstBte Commerce Commission, and such restrictions and guarantee in the control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppres sion. ': ! . " .. i ' FOR ECONOMY IN OFFICE. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation and the lavish ap propriations of recent Repulican. Con gresses which have kept taxes high while the labor that pays them ls.unem ployed, and the products of the peo ple's'toil are depressed in price till they nojlonger repay the cost of production. AVe demand a return to simplicity and economy which benefits a Democratic Government and a reduction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substnnce of the people. j ' "GOVERNMENT BY IN JUNCT,IONf" We denounce arbitrary! interference by Federal authorities in local affairs as a violation of the Constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions, and we especially object to government by injunction s a new and highly dangerous form of oppres sion by which Federal Judges in . con tempt of the laws of. the States and rights of citizens become at once legis lators, judges and executioneers ; and we approve the bill passed at the last session of the United States Senate and now pending in the House relative to. contempts .in Federal courts and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. . j AGAINST PACIFIC FUNDING BILL. Nondiscrimination should be indulged by the Government of; the United States in favof of its debtors. We. ap prove of the refusal of the Fifty-third Congress to pass the Pacific Funding bill and denounce the effort of the pres ent Republican Congress to enact a similiar measiire. . FOR LIBERAL PENSIONS. Recognizing the just claims of de serving Union soldiers, we heartily in- I Pitcher's Castoria. eorse the rule of Commissioner Mur-j phy that ho names shall be arbitrarily ' dropped from the pension roll, and the fact of enlistment and. services should be deemed conclusive evidence against disease or disability before enlistment. TERRITORIES SHOULD BE ADMITTED. "We favor the admission of the Ter ritories of New Mexico and Arizona in to the Union as States, and we 'favor the early admission of all Territories having the iecessaryv population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain Territories we hold. that the officials appointed to ad minister the government of any Terri tory, together with the District of Co lumbia and, Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be per formed. The Democratic party be lieves in home rule, and that all public lahds; of the Uhited States should be appropriated to the establishment of free homes for Ameridah citizens. We recommend that the Territory- of Alas ka be granted a member in Congress, and that the geneial land and timber laws of the United States be extended to said Territory. : , . SYMPATHY FOR CUBA. We extend our .sympathy to the peo ple of jCuba in their heroic struggle for liberty and independence. AGAINST LIFE TENURE IN OFFICE. We lare opposed to life tenure in the public; service. We favor appoint ments based upon merit, fixed terms of office and such an administration of the Civil-Service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascer tained fitness, i FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT. V 1 lie pecteral Governme'nt s4inu1rl ' d imorove the Missimni .rt. ther great waterwavs of the Republic, s!o as to secure for the inte rior States-easy and cheap transporta tion to tide water. ' When any w ater way of the Republic is of suffcient im portance to demand aid of the. Govern ment, such aid should be -extended upon a definite plan Of continuous work until permanent improvement is se cured. AGAINST A THIRD TERM. We declare it to be the unwritten law of this Republic, established by custom and usage of a hundred years, and sanctioned by the " examples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained bur Gov ernment, that no man should be eligi ble for a third term of the Presidential office. APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. Confidence in the justice of our' cause aud the necessity of its success at the polls, we submitthe foregoing declar ation of principles and purposes to the considerate judgment of the American people. We invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have them made effective through legislation for the relief .of the people and the restoration of the coun try's prosperity, ' ; care for an River and A woman's head, aches may come from several causes. She may have a headache arising from nervousness, or from digestive dis, turbances ; just the same as a man might suffer for the same reasons. Nine cases in ten, however, her headaches come from disorders peculiar to her sex. Possibly tne apparent cause 01 the headache will be nervousness or indi gestion, while the cause of these is not thought of. The organs distinctly feminine are more vital than any other organs in a woman's body. Any trouble of those affects the whole body. It may show itself in the symptoms which are' characteristic of a dozen disorders. Thousands of times, wo men have been treated for the disorders' thought to be indicated by these symp toms, when the real trouble was much deeper and more serious. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription was compounded for the sole purpose of relieving womankind of the ills and pains very commonly considered the uncomfortable inheritance of her sex. It cures where really good physicians have failed. Thousands of women have testified that after taking treatment: from several physicians without benefit, the "Favorite Prescription" cured them completely and quickly. It has been used for over thirty years, and. has an unbroken record of suc cess ' The afflicted woman will find im mediate relief and ultimate cure in the "Favorite Prescription.'.' There is no doubt about it there is no question about it The woman who hesitates is invited to send 21 one-cent stamps to cover only the cost of; mailing a s copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. This celebrated work contains full information about Dr. Pierce's medicines, with the reproduced photographs of hundreds of people who have been cured by these world - famed remedies, also giving their names and ad dresses, besides plain, clear information about all of the organs of the human body and their functions. It has reached the un-. precedented sale of 680,000 copies at $1.50 a copy Thus the expense of preparation has been defrayed, and now 500,000 copies will be absolutely given away.
