''Whereas the Demoeratio party had its birth in Jefferson's great contest against the centralization of the pow ers of the Federal Government and in behalf of the Federal constitution, embodied in the tenth amendment thereto, in which all powers not dele gated to it were expressly reserved to the States respectively, or to the peo pie, and, Whereas, The Republican party baa ever been a party of centraliza tion, Resolved, That we appeal to tha people to observe this fundamental difference between the Democratic party and its traditional enemy in re- pect to tbe powers of the central gov eminent; teat tne constitution reoog- nizes gold and silver as primary or re demption money of those States and in tbe words of the Demoeratio plat form, 'we believe in honest money, the gold and silver com age of the consti tution and a circulating medium con vertible into such money without loss.' "We favor, independently of other Cations, tne free and unlimited ooin age of silver and gold witbot discrimi- nation against either, at the present legal ratio of 1ft to 1, and we condemn the system whioh in time of peace with millions of silver bullion lying idle in tne Ireasury has forced tbe govern ' ment within two years to issue nearly $212,000,000 in bonds. We condemn the action of the Secretary of the Treas ury in iouowing tne Jttepuunoan pre cedent of paying tbe obligations of the government in gold, whioh were speci fically made payable in coin. We hereby instruct our delegates to the national convention both as to plat form and candidates, to advocate and vote as a unit, unflinchingly, at all hazards for the restoration of silver and otherwise in obedienoe to the let ter and the spirit of the principles herein enunciated. We further in struct our delegates, State and district. to nse all their efforts to abrogate the two-thirds rule if necessary to secure the nomination of a candidate in com plete, in hearty and in known accord with the principles herein enunciated by ua. "We warn tho people against the threatened combined evils of the gold standard and the McKinley tariff. These twin mounters go hand in hand in their mission of destruction, draw lug the very sustenance from the body of tbe people and concentrating all wealth and power in the bauds of the few. "We denounce the McKinley tariff and all other forms of a protective tariff legislation, and favor constitutional tariff for revenue only. We are for tbe repeal of tbe unconstitutional tax of 10 per cent, on State banks of issue. We declare our confidence in a gradu ated income tax, in order that wealth may bear its due proportion of the burden of supporting the government, and we favor an immediate amendment of the constitution of the United States authorizing its levy and collec tion in express terms, leaving nothing for judicial coqstrnction. "We are unalterably opposed to all legislation by which monopolies aud trust are created and fostered. We insist upon the faithful execution of existing laws agunst tbe same and upon such further legislation aa may be necessary for their suppression." The part of the platform relative to State offices is as follows: "We point with pride to the eco iiouoio and stainless administration of State government wherever Democra cy has been in power. We favor tbe j-uactment of snch an election law aa ill secure the purity of the ballot "We favor the continuance of the yetem of education established by the Demoeratio party and pledge ourselves t' its increased efficiency as the con dition of the people and public rete nnes msy justify. "We lator the prompt, nd ini partial edininitralion of the criminal law of the State and we point with pride to the fact that a Democratic Legislature firt.t enacted a law against lyuching and that the faithfnl execu tion of tbe fame has virt'injly tt eeJ that crime. "We cordially invite all men, re gardless of former political associa tions, to unite with us in a right to the finish for free silver, frr .ower taxes, for higher prices for agricultural prod nets and labor, for tbe economical ad ministration of government and for the freedom and individual sovereignty of the American citizen. We deolare our belief that the peace, prosperity and happiness of the people of North Carolina depends on the defeat of the Republican State ticket f n the oOming election. Paul B. Means offered substitute for the flnanoial plank and spoke in support of it Means' sulstituld was read. It was as follows: "Resolved, That we favor the gold dollar as the standard by which all dollars of our government should be measured aud snch a safe system of bimetallism as will muiutain at all timea the equal power of every dollar coined or leaned by tbe United States in tho markets in the payment of debts acd in purchas ing capacity."
