The Vital Principles of the Ohio
Democratic piaifOrm.

3. That the contraction of the cur
rency heretofore made by the RepubIi.
can party, and the further contraction
proposed by it with view to the forced
resumption of specie payment, has al
ready brought disaster to the business
OF the country, and threatens it with
general bankruptcy and ruin. We de
mand that this policy be abandoned, and
that the volume of currency be made
and kept equal to the vents of trade,
leaving the restoration of legal-tenders
to par with gold to be brought about
by promoting the industries OF the peo-
pie, not by destroying them.
9. That the policy already initiated
by the Republican party of abolishing
legal-tenders and giving National Banks
the power TO furnish all the currency
will increase the power of an already
dangerous monopoly and the enormous
burdens now depressing the people,
without any compensating advantage,
and that we oppose to this policy the
demand that all the National Bank cir
culalion be promptly and permanently
retired, and legal-tenders be issued in
their place.
10. That the public interest demands
that the Government SHOULD cease to
discredit its own currency. and should
make its legal tenders receivable fof al
public dues except where respect for the
obligations of contracts requires pay
ment in coin; and that we favor the pay
ment of at least half the customs ir
legaltenders.
Il The extinction Of the present Ma
tional. Banks, and the establishment il
their stead of a system of free banks o
discount and deposit only, under sucl
regulations as the States may respect
lively prescribe, and no paper currency
except such as may be issued direct!
by and upon the faith Of the Genera
Government.

piled that he had determined to not be
