"The full discussion of public questions
commonly expected from acandidate for

peratlve by the complete presentation of
the Democratic creed by the gentleman
With whom have the honor to be asso-
ciated as candidate in the national
ticket. His treatment of the issues now
before the country for discussion and
settlement was SO complete that ] can do
bttle more than indorse his position and
give 1t the emphasis OF my unqualified
HnnrAyRl
1.-The greatest power conferred upon
human government is that of taxation.
All the great struggles of the past for
broader political liberty have looked to-
wards the limitation of this power by
right to taxa right which should al
ways be limited by the necessities of the
government, and the benefits of which
may be shared by all. Whenever this
power is used to draw tribute from the
many for the benefit of the few, or when
part of the people are oppressed in order
that the remainder may prosper unduly,
equality is lost sight of. Injustice har-
Gems to precedent, which it used to ex-
tuse new exacttons, and there arises
artiticial distinctions which the bene-
ficiaries come to look upon in due time
as vested rights sacred to themselves.

with these nurnosas The ronvention
also declared its pasition on the currency
question in no unmeaning words when
Il said in its platform:
awe hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both gold
and silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic aud-exchange-
able value or be adjusted through inter
national agreement, or by such safe
guards or legislation as shall insure the
parity of theJtwo metals and the equal
power of every dollar at all times in the
markets, and in payment of debt, and
we demand that all paper currency shall
be kept at par with aud redeemable in
such coin.'
ITO this plain and unequivocal deela-
ration in favor of sound, honest money
ISubscribe without reservation or anali-
fcation. A safe circulating medium is
absolutely essential to the protection &c
the business interests OF our country
while to the wage Garner or the farmer
1t is all important that every dollar
whatever it's form, that finds its way
into his pocket, shall be of equal, un
questioned and universal exchaneeallt
value. and of equal purcha ,hing power
