PLATFORM.
We renew pledges as essential to the pre-
servation OF a free government and faithful
adherence to tho following PRINCIPLES:
Strict construction, home rule, supremacy
OF civil over the military, separation of church
and state, equality Of all citizens before the
law, the liberty of individual action unvexed
by sumptuary laws, absolute acquiesence In
".
the preservation OF public land to actual
settlers, maintenance and perfection of the
common school system, investigation of
frauds committed at the last presidential
election in Florida and Louisiana which
should have been made by the Electoral Com
mission. It's refusal to do 80 was violation
OF the spirit OF the laws under which 1t or
ganized, and was gross outrage upon the
people OF the United States; and while the de-
cision as made by the Forty-fourth Congress
N UTh ha
President OF the United States for the pres
ent presidential term, was, In our Judgment |
final, that decision ought not to preclude
AUTHENTIC INVESTIGATION,
and the exposure of all the frauds connected
with the election and due accountability of all |
,T VINO were guilty or connected Herewith. |
That commercial and Industrial stagnation SO |
long prevailed throughout the country, and |
its consequent widespread want and suffering,
Is due to the pernicious Legislation Of the Re-
publican party, etc. First, that at time
when the country, weighed down with debt
created on q basis Of a full volume Of paper,
added to both precious metals as money, it |
enacted sweeping changes In the measure of
values; that interest moneyed capital by
of silver and the decreasing
destruction Of legal tender paper, thereby
ADDED hundreds OF millions burden Of debt
taxes upon the people by pursuing the merci-
less policy OF contracting the paper currency,
nazarding gold, increased continuously the
enhancement OF money and decreased value
ot all other property, especially capital de-
signed for productive use and required en-
pioyment OF labor, thus repressing instead Of
fostering industry.
Now this party in Ohio puts forward in it's
platform declaration that the financial ques-
tion
HAS BEEN SETTLED.
We deny this declaration. We demand the
lcG OF justice as well as the measures Of relief,
me absolute repeal Of the resumption act, the
awful liberation of the coin boarded In the
treasury, the removal of restrictions on coin
age OF silver, and the re-establishment Of sill
yer as Q money metal the same as gold, as it
vas before the fraudulent demonstration, and
'he gradual substitution Of United States
egal tender paper for national bank notes,
Ind It's permanent establishment as the sole
PAPER money of the country, made receivable
or all dues to the government and Of equal
ender with coin; the amount Of such issues
% be SO, regulated by legislation or organic
aw as to give the people assurance of the
'taolllGy OF tne volume of currency, and, con-
equentiy, tRtastability of values.
NO further Increase in the bonded debts,
md no further sale Of bonds for the purchase !
II coin for resumption purposes, but gradual {
Of the public debt. A rigid econo-
ny and reduction Of expenditures in all
branches OF public service and tariff for
evenue only. {
That the interest of the Industrial wealth
classes is paramount to the inter- {
st OF the people OF the United States; and {
hose whose labor and enterprise produce /
wealth should be secure In its enjoyment.
)ur WarmeSt sympathy is extended to the !,
abOrtng classes who have been thrown out of
Employment, by the Fuinous financial policy {
nd the unjust legislation of the Republican
'arty.
