The Platform.
Mr. Ellery. Anderson from the committee
On resolutions reported the following plat
form and resolutions:
We the delegates Of the Democratic party Of
the state Of Now York, assembled in convention
at Syracuse. declare that the most urgent ne
cessity Of the country is a radical reform in the
administration of the federal government We
declare that the Democratic party alone is true
to the people and alone can be trusted TO ad.
minister the government Of the nation In the
interest OF the people
We denonnce the Republican party for its
abuse OF power during the past few years. OBJ
tanning in 1889 control Of the executive and
both branches Of congress that party entered
upon course OF extravaganza, favoritism and
fraud. Itfound the treasury in receipt Of a
large and increasing surplus, but disregardina
the duty thus imposed upon it to relieve the
people from tho oppressive tariff taxation So
long endured the Republican party. through its
.billion dollar congress- ~ enacted appropria
tions nInonntng 10 Si,uOO0O0,0O0 annually 1t
made most Of these appropriations permanent
20 that they cannot be reduced by the present
Democratic house Of representatives without
tho concurrence Of the Republican senate and
executive. 1t turned an overlooking surplu.
into an itnmincnt deficit.
1t went to lengths Of class legislation before
unheard of by enacting the Mckinley bill. II
deprived the state of New York Of its just rep
resentation IA congress and In the electoral col
lege by a fraudulent census. II displayed an
utter contempt for economy and honesty by il
fraudulent administration Of the pension Office
II reached a climax Of partisan oppression il
Its strenuous endeavors TO enact into law tho
Infamous Lodge bill
ContrAsted with this history Of oxtrayaganc'
and oppression we recall with ever increasing
satisfaction the wisdom and prudence Of th'
last Democratic administration. The presi
dents message Of December, 1887, pointed on
the true mission of the Democratic party, anS
through temporary defeat brought II 70 thi
MAGNIFICENT victories of 1890 and 1891 All thi
has been Surrendered by our brethren in othe
states from the Atlantic 70 the Pacific, and w
declare il is not forgotten in New York.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff. We de
clare that a tariff is a tax; that all taxation is
burden; that it should never exceed the neces
stiles Of a government wisely and ec0nomicall
administered. We condemn the present tariff
not only because II is excessive aud restrictiv
OF the commercial development Of the country
but because Il has heen enacted in the interest
Of few at the expense and for the oppressio
Of the mass Of the people. II is class legisll
ton.
It does not increase tn e receipts Of wae
earners; II compels the farmer to buy IN tn
highest market and sell in the lowest Il turn
over TO the protected manufacturers ever b,
coming more and more rapacous, the federl
treasury and the taxing power Of the federi
government TO use for their own benefit, an
il leaves Il TO them to decide whether OF n,
the wage earners they employ shall receiN
any part Of this enormous bounty IL is an II
exhaustible source of corruption, constaJ
menace TO free government II says the ind
neuuentt OF anu AAAAANno nun ~ utt
to grow rich by official favoritism rather tha
by their own exertions. An inevitable cons
quence is that this class in receipt OF these va
pecuniary favors should seek to perpetua
their grasp upon the government by supplyiI
in practically unlimited amounts the mon'
with which an electorate may be corrupted al
popular government destroyed.
The Democratic party has no more urge
mission than to destroy system productive
F. so much evil; and, in a spirit Of moderati'
with due regard 10 the interests of capital nc
invested and labor now employed in protect
industries, the paramount duty OF the party
70 continue its opposition TO the tariff until
customs taxation is enacted for revenue only
The recent change in the policy Of the Repu
lican party from a general system Of high tar
taxes % the reciprocity system is an admissi
Of the vast benefits to be derived from the
tension Of our foreign trade and Of the just
Of the tariff reform principle.
The silver Plank.
We approve the use Of both gold and silly
as money and We demand that all dolla
n whether gold or silver, shall be equal In val
to each other in fact as by declaration Of Ia
We are opposed to the free coinage Of silver
the United States alone, at the existing rate
sixteen TO one because we believe that Il
coinagea at that ratio will result In the inn
diate disappearance Of gold from the busin
