OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ADOPTED BT
STATE CONT ENTION

Resolved !. That the Democracy of
North Carolina reaffirm the principles
of the Democratic party, both State
and National, and particularly favor
the free coinage of silver and an in
crease of the currency, and the repeal
of the internal revenue system. And
we denounce the McKinlv tariff bill as
unjust to the consumers of the country,
and leading to the formation of trusts.
combines and monopo!ies which have
oppressed the people, and especially
do We denoupce the unnecessary and
burdensome increase in the tax on cot
ton ties and on tin, so largely used by
the poorer portion OF the people. We
bill, which is not vet abandoned by the
Republican party, bat is being urged as
a measure to be adopted as soon as they
regain control OF the House of Repre-
sentatives. the purpose and effect of
which measure will be to establish a
second period Of reconstruction in the
Southern States, to subyert the liberties
of our people and inf1ame a new race
antagonism and sectional anitnosities.
2. That we demand financial reform
and the enactment of laws that will
remove the burdens of the people re-
lative to the existing agricultural oe-
preston, and do full and ample justice
to the farmers and laborers of Ou,
country.
3. That we demand the abolition of
national banks, and the substitutIo1 OF
legal tender Treasury notes in lieu Of
national bank notes, issued ia sufficient
volume to dc the business of the
country on a cash system, regulating
the amount needed on a per capita basis
expand. aud that ali money issued by
the government shall be legal tender
in payment for all debts, both public
and private.
4. That we demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as shall etfecGuAilY
prevent the dealing in futures Of all az
riculturai and mechanical productions,
providing such stringent system OF
procedure in trials as shall secure
prompt conviction ami imposing such
penalties as shLll sacur3 mDoG perfect
compliance with the law.
5. That we .la.ntuI the free and uu

laws prohibiting the alien ownership
Of land, and that Congress take early
steps to devise sONe plan TO obtain all

Z. Believing in the doctrine o.
equal rights to all and special priv

at the expense of another. We believe
that the money Of the country should |
