The Platform of 1 '.mo. <
? i!
Senator IX-micS, of Virginia, is J
quoted as having said in an inter- I
view a few days ago.
' 1 hope the Pciuocralic nation- 1
al convention will have t.ie emir- 1
age to make a platform for I'.UIO.
That would seem to be the
rational thing to do ? to build aj
platform with reference to present
circumstances and re.-ponsive to ?
the suggestions of the hour, bull
all or nearly all of the Pemocratic 1 i
State conventions thus far held ^
have re allirined the Chicago plat- j
form of 1 mm;, which contains this ,
um<>ii<r its other plunks:
We declare that the act of 187ft,
demonetizing silver without the
knowledge < r approval of tlie
Anieriean people, has resulted in
the appreciation of ;?nld and a cor- ?
responding fall in the prices of j
couiinodities produced hy the peo- r
pie, etc. !(
'l'he Nashville American resur*
roots the platform and quotes
from it the ahove plank, ami then
comments as follow^:
There is considerable hysterical
talk to the < >1 cl that the I'lliea^o ,
platform must l>e rcatlirmcd word
?? v?wm, wi.imui mi' eI'Msloii i)T
a syllable," etc. Is the plunk '
just quoted also to he roatliriiud '
{If it is, how ?*ati the I>cinoerary '
defend it { It is a nattier of eonis
tiiiiii inf<>rmalion hat the k,j 11. >
of commodities prolo'< d l>; the
j people"' have risen, not fallen,
even though we now have ;i ?*old 1
standard "fastened" upon the '
people.
Senator 1> nicl's sensible ?ri ner?
I
al statement of the need of a l'.HKt
platform is apt to fall upon dull
oars, hnt when the I).- in. ti.
managers are confront* 1 ui'h the
language of tile ( 'llil'Ugo platform,
with the facts in tlx* cast) set opposite
it, they will he apt to pause
awhile and modify this platform
ju>t a little. l'hey have already
found out that the people of the
country are not stark fools, and
there is yet a slight chance that
they may profit hy the knowledge.
