The Democratic convention tonight
adopted tho following platform, as out
lined by a special committee:
"The Democrats of South Carolina,
in convention assembled, express their
gratifications that the sinus of the
limes points to general dissatisfaction
wiiii the administration of tho govern
ment by tho Republican party, and
congratulate tin- representative of our
party in congress on the approval giv
en their course in the recent elec
tion in Massachusetts and New York
at which Republicans were defeated
ami Democrats sent to the congress
in their places. The people of all sec.
lion are Coming to realize that the
Republican party stands lor special
privileges at the cost of the 1111111111011'.
and that, through the favoritism
shown to the trusts :>y tariff legisla
tion, the country is now suffering from
conditions which make the cost of liv
ing so high that even the Republican
congress is compelled to institute an
investigation.
"The only substantial and lasting
relief is to he found in the adoption ol
the historic Democratic Doctrine de
manding a system of tariff duties suf
ficient to raise revenues adequate to
the economical administration of the
government. Material reductions
should ln> made in the tariff upon the
necessities of life.
"Tho Protective tariff makes possi
ble the combinations which are called
trusts, and only by revision of tariff
duties downward can the growth ol
the trusts he checked. Failure of the
Republican administrations to enforce
the civil and criminal laws against
the trusts demonstrates anew tho ob
ligations of that parly to the trusts,
which render it Impossible for the
country to secure relief from that
source. Favoring publicity of all cam
paign contributions, the Democratic
party, throughout the country, enters
upon tho coming campaign for con
gress this fall iis the only agency to
Which the people can turn with expec
tations of genuine tariff reform and
genuine trust regulation.
"The Democratic parly has long
favored the imposition of a tux on in
comes as a just method of taxation,
when fairly levied and collected, and
we favor such a lax. Relieving, with
Jefferson in thO support of the State
government in all their rights as the
most competent administration for
our domestic concerns and the surest
bulwark against antl-Repuhllcan ten
dencies, an din the preservation of the
general government in its whole con
stitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor
of our pence at home and safety
abroad. We are opposed to the cen
tralization policies of the present Na
tional administration. We Insist that
Federal remedies for the regulation
of interstate commerce and the pre
vention of private monopoly, shall lift

rein exiles.
