THE FINANCIAL PLANK.
The Democratic Convention lndorses the
International Monetary Conference.

The Democratic Convention Indorses the
International Monetary Conference.
Here is the financial plank just
adopted by the National Democratic
Convention, and incorporated in the
platform. 1t is almost word for word
similar to the Republican plank, and
indorses the international monetary
conference which is convened by
President Harrison:
We denounce the Republican Leg
lslation known as the Sherman ac, Of
1890 as cowsrdly makeshift fraueht
with possibilities of danger in the fu.
ture which should make all of its sup.
porters as we'll % tho author anxious
for speedy repeal. We hold to the
use Of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country aud
to the coinage of both gold and silver
without discriminating against either
metal or charge for minting, but a
dollar of unit coinage of both
metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exohaogeable value OF ad.
justed through international agree
ment or BY such safeguards in legis.
lation as shall insure the mainten ance
OF . parity between the two metals,
and the equal value of every dollar at
all times in the market and in pay.
ment of debts, and we demand that
paper currency be kept at par with
and redeemabIe in such coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection of farmers
and laboring classes, the first and
most defenseless victims of unstable
money and fluctua.ing currency.
We recommend that the prohibi>
tory 10 per cent. tax on State bank
issues be repealed.
The concluding paragraph is Anne
at the national banks. While this il
intended to please those who favo,
the unlimited issue of paper money
OF fiat paper that would at once pre-
cipitate the country into a panic and
ruin all men of moderate means
disorganize labor and cause untolc
suffering to the poor, it is not such I
plank as will commend itself to an,
sensible man.
A national bank note is good for it

it has the faith of the United State
covernment-of ourselves behind i,
But let this banking system be de
stroyed and superseded by Stat
banks, and where will be the prote.

Everybody can then issue none
without restraint; this money will pas
current little while, and then fall t
a discount even lower than green
backs were during the war.
If the Democratic party did no
deserve defeat for any other reason, i

for it money that would be of it'll

valueless even in the State adjoining
