The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1882-07-27

James w. Newman was nominated
on the third ballot.
At this point the committee on reso-
lutions reported the following
PLATFORM.
The Democratic party in convention |
assembled reaffirm the great principles |
which are the foundation of the gov
ernment, among which are equal rights |
to all, special privileges to none, pro-
lection of the weak against the en-
croachments of the strong, equal tax
alton, free speech, free press, free
schools, and first of all, a free and in
corruptible ballot.
Resolved, That we favor honest reform
in the civil service, and denounce the
extortion of money from office holders
to corrupt the ballot and control cleo
tile most insidious, danger that besets
free government, and the shameless
resort to such methods by the party in
power to carry its ends, evidences the
utter abandonment of principle for
place and spOils under "bOss " rules.
We deUOunce the reckless eXtrava-
gance and protligacy of the Republican
party in the appropriation of the pub
lie treasury, which should be applied
to the extinction of the national debt,
and we believe the time has come
when, by an honest and economical
administration of the government, the
burden of war taxes which the people
have so long borne, and which in the
end fall upon labor, may and ought to
be reduced, but we denounce the at
tempt of the Republican Congress to
reduce taxes on those articles which
| t.~t l.. L, Al,
Res0lUed, That we favor tariff levied
to meet the actual needs of the gov
ernment, and so adjusted in its details
with view to equality in the public
burdens as to encourage productive in
dustries and afford labor just COM
pensatiOn without creating mOnopo-
lies.
Resolved, That stability in the value
money is primary requisite to indus
trial commercial prosperity. This can
only be secured by maintaining both
gold and silver as money as provided
by the constitution, and subjecting
the issue and regulation of paper mon
ey to established principles which will
prevent fluctuations in the value of the
currency.
Resolyed, That the growth of monep.
olies is such as to seriously threaten
the rights of individuals, and the pub.
lie welfare, and ought to be proceeded
against by proper legislation.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
has ever maintained and still stead
fastly adneres to the doctrine Of the
largest liberty consistent with the
public welfare, aud is opposed to legis'
lation merely sumptuary.
Resolved, That it is duty incumbent
| TO NrCtn re
citizens, native born and naturalized
at home and abroad, and we demand
a searching inquiry into alleged out
RACES committed against citizens Of the
United States in foreign countries.
