The state democratic Platform,

The following is a synopsis of the
platform, which congratulates the
people upon the good Democratic
government in the State, upon the
increasing efficiency of the common
school system, and upon the enter
prise and Improvement shown in all
parts Of the State. The platform
challenges comparison between the
existing state Of things, and thecon-
dition of the State under Republi-
can administrations. It calls for Q
reduction Of taxes, so as to avoid a
surplus in the Treasury, and con-
dennis the present system Of taxa
ton as burdensome, undemocratlc,
oppressive and iniquitous. 1t APP
proves the action Of the North Caro-
lima Democrats in Congress, and re-
commends that they support any
Just or practical measure that will
afford partial relief from existing
burdens. 1t believes that customs
duties alone should be levied for the
production Of public revenue, and
discrimination in the adjustment
should be such as to place the high
est rate on Injuries and the lowest
on the necessaries, so as to effect Is
nearly as possible an equal distribu-
ton.
1t fayors and declares it will new
err cease to demand the uncondition-
al abolition Of the whole Internal
Revenue system, as war tax not to
be justified in time of peace. 1t as
sumes that the course Of the Dem
ocratic party in furtheranee of pop
nlar education is a guarantee that it
fayors the education of the people.
To remove an existing evil it will
accept for educational purposes from
the Federal Treasury any PRO RATA
share Of the surplus in the Treasury,
provided It be disbursed through
State agent, and that the bill for
distribution be free from objection
able features. 1t denounces the eff
forts Of the Republicans to force
sectional issues in Congress and else
where. 1t pledges continuation of
the present system Of country gov
eminent, or an equally effectiyeone.
opposes further extension Of the
No Fence law, unless authorized by
vote Of the people in the territory.
1t denounces monopolies, trusts,
pools, and the crushing Of labor by
capital. 1t urges the greatest econ
omy in the conduct Of the public in
stitutions, and opposes the COMPETE
ton Of convict labor with free la
Dor. It approves the administration
Of Governor Scales as honest, pa
triotie and conservative. It endorses
the administration Of Cleveland, as
