took place which the master Of the
Southern Cross says he never exper-

WHO ARE 1HE THIEVES 2

Some Startling Facts and Figures.
Previous to 1873, the dollar, in
gold, consisted, by law-Bob In
gersoll, though, says money is not
made by law-of twenty five grains
and thrce.tenths of a grain of
standard gold. Upon the value
of this dollar all the bonded IN :
d~ebtedness of the United States
of the several states, Of the coun
ties and municipalities, of the rail
road and all other corporations, in
this country were contracted and
the contracts accepted by the bond
holders of Europe and elsewhere.
But in 1872 8, the paid agent of
these foreign bcndhOlders came
over from England. staid in Wash
ington all winter and in February
1873, recured the surreptitous
passage of an amendment to the
coinage act, by which not only the
silver dollar, to that date and for
one hundred years, the unit of
value in this country, was repeal
ed, and its legal tender destroyed
but the weight of the gold dollar
was raised from twenty five gains
and three.tenths to twenty-five
grains and eight>tenths, an in
crease of half a grain,or two cents
on the dollar, and the gold dollar
substituted as the sole unit of val>
ne. Thus,-unless this act is res
pealed, and the standard of 25
grains and 8 10ths restOred-con
pel,ing the American people TO
pay ive.tenth of a grain more in
gold to the dollar, on every dollar
Of their bonded debt of all kinds,
than they contracted to'pay, or
than these bondholders contracted
to receive.
The federal bonds, state, bonds
county and municipal bonds, rail.
road and other corporation bonds,
issued previously to 1873, and now
outstanding, cannot amount to
much less than $4,000, 900, 900.
This decrease of weight of gold
required to the dollar, amounts to
l ~, or nearly 2 per cent, and on
five thousand millions of bonds
a difference of $1,000, OOO,~
00U in gold, which these bondbold>
ers propose to ROB from the tax
payers Of America. We say they
propose TO rob the people of this
sum, is a square, direct increase in
gold, over and above what they
agreed to take, and Independent
of the incidental and inevitable
rise in the value of gold consequ-
ent making IL the exclusive unit
of value. and of the depreciation
of silver consequent upon it
denomination.
In the face of these facts, and
this attempted robbery of the AM
people, Carl Shurz, Bob In
gersoll and other hireling of these
robbers, howl about "honest mon>
ey," o gold standard, and libel the
people who feed them by accusing
them Of reputation, s%windling,
and violation Of their contracts.
The American people never asked
Congress to fve>teuth of a gain
to the weight of a gold dollar.
That act was stolen through Con-
gress at the instigation and sug-
gestion Of the bondholders and
their agents

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM.

FLA
The Democratic party 1f Ten.
nessee in convention assembled re.
lying as ever upon the intelligence
of the people, and their capacity
for Self-government-and firmly
achering to thefundamental truths
of the constitution, submit to the
sober judgment of the people the
following declaration of its prin-
ciples:
l. We do hereby heartily APP
prove and ratify the action Of the
National Convention recently as
sembled at st. Louis, in the nomi,
nations for President and Vice
President of the United States =
and the declaration of principles
adopted By it as the platform Of
the party.
2. We recognize in the Hon.
Sam'l j. Tilden, of New York, and
the Hon. Thos. A. Handricks Of
Indiana-the distinguished nomi-
nees Of the party-men Of great
purity, unqueStioned integrity and
unsurpassed ability as statesmen;
men who are c%onsecrated to the
work of Reform; who are the de-
tenders of the right, and the unN
compromising enemies of public
plunderers; and who in their ex~
altation to the highest places in the
gift of American freemen will
neither forget that they are still
the servants Of the American peo~
Pile, nor bctray the trusts conided
to them; and we do hereby, with
cheerful hearts. accept the assur-
ance which comes Of their candi>
dacy, that in the Administration
of the Government we are soon to
return to the purer better days of
! tie Republic.
3. We deprecate and condemn
all infraCtions Of laws made for
the protection of the person, prop.
erty and political rights OF the Cit
izen, and demand for the entire
people, without regard to race or
color, arigid and impartial enfo, &C.
ment OF the same.
4. We condemn the demonetiza>
ton of silver and favor the re tor
alton of the silver dollar to its for
mer legal tender standard.
5. We are utterly opposed to
the Reputation of any obligation
justly due to the creditors of the
State or National Government.
We declare ourselves aligned
with the National Democracy as
to the duty Of the Federal Gov
eminent to redeem it's pledges and
meet all its obligations as soon as
may be consistent with the bust
ness interests Of the country, and
in such manner as to avoid forced
and unwise contraction.
In harmony with this enuncia>
ton of sound principles by the ma
tional Democracy. we declare our
intention to meet and pledge ours
selves to the payment of all debts
and obligations Justly due by the
State of Tennessee.
For the present, however, b.
cause of depression in business,
shrinkage in values, the prostra'
ton of all industries and impOver-
ishment OF our people, we are un>
able to endure, and are, therefore.
opposed to any increase OF taxa
tion--and 10 view of this condition
of the State it beho ives us as a
people to begin at once a thorough
system of thu ost rigid economy
retrenchment and reform in all the
departments of the State Gov
ernm ent.
We favor the abolition of uno
necessary Offices, the proper re-
duction O. all excessive salaries
and all necessary reforms in the
