THE l'LATFOKM,
4iIoptel by the state Convention at
Raleigh Wednesday.
Resolved 1. That the Democracy
of North Carolina reaffirm the prin
ciples of the Democratic party, both
State and national, and particularly
favor the free coinege ol silver and
an increase' of thecurrency, and the
repeal of tho internal revenue syss
em. And we denounce tne ilclun
ey tariff bill as unjust to the con
sumers of the countiT, arul leading
o tho formation of trusts, Combines
and monopolies.which have opprcss-
(d the people; and espacially do we
denounce the unnecessary and bur
densome increase in the tax on cot's
on ties and on tin, fo largely used
by the poorer portion of the people.
We likewise denouLce th& iniquites
ous force bill, which is not ytaban
doned by the Republican party, but
isieing urged as a measure to be
adopted ns soon as they regain con
trol of the House of Representas
Hwa 41m nnrnose and effect of
which measure will be to establish
od of reconstruction in
tiie Southern Statep, to subvert the
tho liberties of our peoVlo and in
fl..m. n nnw rare antacronisra and
sectional animosities.
2 That we demand financial ro
foritt, and the enactment of laws
that will remove the burdens of tho
neoDle relativo to the existing 3agn
cultural depression, and do full and
ample justice to the farmers and la
borers of our country.
3. That we'demand the abolition
of national banks, and the substit
tion of letral tender Treasury notes,
in lieu of national bank notes, is
sued in sufficient volume to do the
business of the country on a cash
STDtem rjulating the amount
needed on a per capita basis as the
business interests., of Ui3 coun
try exnand. and .. that all money
iRsiied bv the government shall be
legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private.
4. Tnat we demand that OongresJ
shall pass such laws as shall effect
ually provent the dealing in futures
of all agricultural and mechanical
productions: providing such string
gent system of procedure in trials
as shall secure prompt conviction
and imposing such penalties as shall
secure uaost perfect compliance with
the law. . , , . , .'
5. " ' That we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
6. That we demand the passage
of laws prohibiting the alien owneri
ships of land, and that Congress
take early steps' to devise some
plan to obtain all lands now owned
by alien and fore'gn syndicates; and
that all lands now held by railroads
and other corporations, in excess
of such as is actually used and need
ed by them, s be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual set
tiers only - . o .r. : ,
7. Believing; in "the doctrine of
"equal rights" to .all and special
privileges to none," we demand that
taxation, national or State, shall
not be used to build up oneinterest
or class at tho expense of another.
We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all rev
enue, national, State or county,
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, econ
omically administered.
ft. That Congress issue a suffi
cient amount of fractional paper
currency to facilitate the exchange
through the medium of the United
States mail.
9. That the General Assembly
pass such laws as will make the
public school system more effective,
that the blessings of education may
be extended to all the people of
the State alike. '
Mr. McDonald, of Cabarrus,
moved that the platform be adopted
by acclamation. The following
amendment was offered and ac-
cepted. , '

ated tax on incomes.
