NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 16.-Mr. Sturges arraigned
the Republican party for its extravaganza II
was the duty, he said, of Democrats to put
men at the helm of national and state gov
ernments who will curtail these expenses, and
lop off all that are unnecessary, until the
promises to pay are up to par, and then repeal
your legal tender act-that is resumption
and not by legislative enactment
Mr.. Sturges at greaterilength reviewed the
action of the Republican party, and fore
Swallowed Democratic triumphs in future.
SYRACUSE, Sept II. - The Convention
adopted the following platform: The Demo
cratic party of New York renew their pledge
of fidelity to the principles adopted and
affirmed unanimously bv the delegates repre-
senting the Democrats of all the United States
together assembled in their latest National
Convention, and since reapproved and in
dorsed by Democratic majori,ies in fifteen
States, comprising more than half the total
population of the Union.
From the National Democratic Platform, Balti-
more, July 10, 1921
T. The public credit must be sacredly main
tanned, and we denounce reputation in every
form and guise.
8. A speedy return to specie payment is de-
manded alike by the highest considerations
Of commercial morality and honest govern
ment.
To these authentic declarations of Demo.
cratic principle and policy we subscribe.
The times give proof the present depression
OF business is caused by the reaction from un-
healthy stimulus of an excessive deprecated
and irredeemable currency by enormous and
ill-adjusted municipal State and Federal taxa
ton and by extravaganza, waste and specula-
ton in the administration of public affairs
The remedy for this evil is not to be found
in the renewal of any Of the causes, in face Of
the fact that the existing volume of currency
is greater than can be absorbed by business;
in face of the fact that the recent fall of prices
was followed by repeated mutations, any at
tempt to increase the currency would be
worse than Intellectual to revive prosperity.
for it would interrupt the healing process of
industry.
1t would be worse than futile to restore con-
fdence, for it would create distrust and new
in business paralyzing the be-
ginings of enterprise, rob labor of its too
scanty employment, and, while sitting the
progress of legislative reforms, would infict
lasting dishonor upon the credit, the intelli-
gence and the character of the country.
The Democratic party of New York also
reaffirm the principles set forth in their plat
form adopted last year at Syracuse, Endorsed
