LL TOO 1 OF EVERY PLANK THAT WAS AOdPTEO AT CHICAGO. rss SUvur, Frsu Cuba, Tariff For Rav- anua—All to ba Supported by William J. Bryan. The platform aa finally agreed upon reads- We, the Democrats Of the United States in national convention assem bled. do reaffirm onr allegiance lo these great essential principals of jnstloe and liberty npon which onr instutions are founded, and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson’s time to onr own—freedom Of speeeh, freedom of the press, free dom of conscience, the perservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law and the ftrithfnl observance of constitutional liberties. Daring all these years the Democratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish interests to the centralization of government power And steadfastly maintained the in tegrity of of the dual scheme of gov ernment established by the founders Of this republic of republics. Under its guidance and teachings the great prfn iple Of local self-government has found its best expression in the nfadn- tetaance of rights of the States and in lt« assertion of the necessity of con fiding the general government to the exercise of the powers granted by the CoostUntlen of the United States. The Constitntloa of the United States guarantee to every citizen the rights of civil and religions liberty. The Demoeratib party hat always been ths exponent of political liberty add ra- LOulfi fifty*fi'Ugion* freedom add it renews its Obligations and reaffirms its devotion to these fundamental principles of the Constitution THE F1HAXOTAL FLASK. Recognizing that the money ques tion is parmoont id all others af this time, we invite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution names Silver and gold together as the money metal of the United States, and that the fltst^coinage U'w passed by con fife* under the Constitution made the Silver dollar the monetary unit and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based Upon the silver dollar Snit. Wb declare that the act of 1878 demonetising Silver without the knowledge or approval of the Amer ican people has resulted In the ap preciation of gold and a correspond ing fall Wthe prices of commodities produced by the people'; a heavy in crease in the harden of taxation and of debts, bnbiic and private; the en richment of the money lending class at home and abroad; the prostration of industry and impoverishment of the people. We are unalterably opposed to monometallsm, which has looked fast the prosperity of an industrial peo ple in the paralysis of hard times. Gold monometal ism is a British policy, and its adoption has bronght other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American, but anti-American, and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed onr politic al independence ih 1776 and won it in war of the Revolution. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the silver dollar shall be a fall legal ten der equally with gold for all debts, pablic and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and practioe'of surrendering to the hold ers of the obligations yf the United States tike option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in either silver or gold eoin. We are opposed to the issuing of interest-bearing bonds of tin United States in time of peace, and condemn the trsfficing with banking syndi- eatee, which; in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to them selves, supply the Federal treasury with goM to maintain the policy of gold monometallsm- Congrass alone has the power to o6tn And issue money and President Jackson declares that this power could not be delegated to corporation or individuals. Wo therefor* de- noufite the isrusnee of note# intended to eUCulate as money by national banks as in derogation of ' the Con stitution, and wC demand that all paper which is made a legal tender for pablic and private debts, or which is receivable for duties to the United States shall be issued by the govern ment of the United States and shall be redeemable in coin. TARIFF FOR BKVBSUK. We hold that the tariff dnties should be levied for purposes of rev enue, such dutiesb to e so adjusted as to operate equally tl iro ®fi ll0ut the Country and not discriminate between or section and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the government honestly and economical ly administered. We denounce as disturbing to business' the Republi- ogn threat to restore the McKinley been condemn- QT.ed by the people in national elections, Prion, $6 . and which, enacted under the false O. B. David* 1 plea of protection to home industries, ' ■ - with Coughs, whedCkx- will eure not pro* \he head Wk* [law which has twice proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, anriehed the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade sbd deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets. Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for farther changes in onr tariff laws except such as are necessary to meet the deficit in revenue caused by the ad verse decision of the supreme cou’-t oa the income tax. But for this de cision by the supreme court, there would be no deficit in the revenue under the law passed by a Democrat ic congress in strict pursuance of the uniform decision of that court for nearly 100 years; that court having in that decision sustained consti- tutional objections to its enactment which has previously been overruled by the ablest judges who have ever sat on that bench. We declare that it is the duty of corgress to use all the constitutional powers which re main after that decision or which may coihe from its reversal by the court as it may hereafter be constitu ted, so that the burdens of taxation may be equally and impartially laid to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of the expenses of the government. TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION. We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete withit in the home market, and that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly re duced by a vicious mouetary system which depresses the price of their production, and thus deprives them of the means of purchasing the pro ducts of our home manufacturers. AS TO OORPORAOIONS. The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of onr leading railroad systems and the formation of trusts and pools require a stricter control by the Fedrel government of these arteries of commerce. We de mand the enlargment of the powers of the interstate commerce commis sion and such restrictions and guar antees in the oontrol o^ railroads as will protect the people from robbery and opprass.on, and as labor created the wealth of the country, we demand the passage of snob laws as ihay be necessary to protect it in all its rights. •A BOR ARBITRATION. We are in favor of the arbitration of differences between employers en gaged in interstate commerce and their employees and recommend such legislation as is necessary to carry out this principle. A DEMAND FOR ECONOMY. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by oppreesive taxation and the lav ish appropriation of recent Repub lican congress, which have kept taxes high while the labor that pays them is unemployed and the products of the people’s toil are depress'd in price till they no longer repay the cost of production. We demand a return to that sim plicity and economy which befits a Democratic government and a reduct ion in the nnmber of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the sub stance of the people. FHDERAL INTERFERENCE DE NOUNCED. We denounce arbitrary interference by Fedral authorities in local affairs as a violation of the Constitution of the United Stales and a crime against free institutions and we especially object to government by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression by which Federal judges, in contempt of the laws of the State and rights of citizens, be come at onoe legislators, judges and executioners, and we approve the bill pending in the house of represent atives relative to contempts in Fed eral courts and providing trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. TREAT ALL ALIKE. No discrimination should be indulg ed in by the government of the United States in favor of any of its debtors. We approve of the refusal of the fifty- third congress to pass the Pacifio railroad funding bill, and denounce the efforts of the present Republican congress to enact.a similar measure. THE PENSION FLANK. Recognizing the just claims of de serving Union Seldiers, we heartily endorse the rule of the present com missioner of pensions that no names shall be arbitrarily dropped from the pension roll; and the fact of enlist ment and service should be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and disability before enlistment. ADMITTIEO NEW STATES. W® favor the admission of the ter ritories of New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as States, and we favor the early admisson of all the territories having the necessary pop ulation and resources to enable them to statehood, and while they remain territories we hold that the officials of any territory, together with the Distriet of Columbia and Alaska, should be bonaflde residents of the territory or district in which the dnties are to be performed. BOMB RULE. . The Democratic party believes in home rale and that all public lands of the United States shonld be ap pointed to the establishment of free homes for American citizens. ALASKA’S DELEGATE. We recommend that the Territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in congress and that the general land and timber laws of the United States lie extended to said Territory. SYMPATHY FOR CUBA. We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heoris strop ■ . 11 1 1 1 - 1 file for liberty and independence. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. The Monroe doctrine as originally declared and as interpreted by suoceedtng Presidents, is a permanent part of the foreign policy of the United States and must at all times be maintained. , FIXED TERMS OF OFFICE. We are opposed to life tenure in the public service. We favor appoint- menb ts e d upon merit, fixed terms of office and such administra tion of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citi zens of ascertained flitness. NO THIRD TERM. We declare it to be the unwritten law of this republic, established by custom and usage of one hundred years and sanctioned by the examples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our government, that no u an should be elible for a third term of the Presidential office. IMPROVED WATERWAYS. The Federal governmeut should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the republic so as to secure for the interior States easy and cheap trans portation to tide water. When any waterway of the republic is of suf ficient importance to deiuand aid of the government, such aid shonld be extended upon a defluate plan of con- tinous work until permanent im provement is secured. Confiding in the justice of our cause and the necessity of its success at the polls, we submit the foregoing declaration of prinaiples and pur poses to the considerate judgement of the American peop'e. We invite the support of all citizens who ap prove them and who desire to have them made effective through legis lation for the relief of the people and the restoration of the country’s pros- perii y.
