General Durbin Ward Chairman Of thG
Committee on Resolutions, then submitted
the report which was read. The reading
Was frequently interrupted with express,
i've demonstrations of approval:
THE PLATFORM.
Resoived, That the exemption from tA1
Of over two thousand FIVE hundred mil
lions of dollars in Government bonds nd
securities is unjust TO the people, and
ought not to be tolerated and that We
are opposed TO any appropriation for the
payment Of interest on the bonds until
they are made subject 10 taxation.
ResOiUed, That the claim of the bond.
holders, That the bonds which were bought
with greenbacks and the principal oil
which is by law payable In currency
should nevertheless be paid in gold, is
unjust and extortionate, and If persisted
in will inevitably force upon the people
the question of reputation.
ReSoiued, That we denounce the high
protective tariff which was designed only
in the interests Of tho New England man
ufaCturers; that said tariff 10 also, by its
enormous imposition on salt, sugar. lea,
coffee and other necessaries, uncomfortable,
oppressive especially upon The people OF
the Weet, and that we demand It's repeal
and The substitution Of another, based
upon revenue principles alone upon the
closest possible approximation 10 absolute
free trade.
Resolvtd Tint the Democratic party OF
the United. States have always been pre-
eminenliy friendly TO tho rights and the
interests Of the laboring man; that they
are in favor Of limited number Of hours
In all manu- factory workshops, hours die
iated by the physical and mental we'll
being Of the laborer; that they favor the
most liberal laws in regard TO homestead
and household exemption from sale and
execution TINT they arc also in favor OF
liberal grants Of land from the public
domain 10 the actual settler without any
cost, and are opposed 10 The donation Of
these To swindling railroad corporations,
and that they are generally friendly TO
the system OF measures advocated by the
Labor and Industrial Congress, md we
pledge tho Democratic party, II restored
to power, 10 exercise their influence In
giving them practical application.
ResOioed, That the policy and legisla-
tiOn Of the Radical party directly tend
10 destroy all the reserved rights Of tho
States, and convert the Republic into
consolidated despOLism thot whether such
despotism be exercised by an Emperor or
President, or Congress, The result would
be fatal to liberty and good government;
that consolidation in this country means
tho absolute dominion OF monopoly and
