STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
ADOPTED by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Little Rock, Ark,
June %, 1894.

The Democratic party of Arkan-
sas in convention assembled hereby
'e-afirms its faith in and allegiance
20 the time honored principles of
The national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-
lied in its legislation throughout
The history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol
lowing specific declarations:
We insist upon a strict comph-
lnce with the repeated declara-
lions of the party in favor of tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
The protection favored by the Re-
publican party and crystalized in
The infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
1 fair competition in the markets
IF the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
led States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed
To the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
md accumulated property pay its
air share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
/ time been borne by the consump-
ion of the people. We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873,
Whereby silver was demonetized, as
he greatest Legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
md gold at a ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed,
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event of great emergencies when
che power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
nents of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
IF the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-
Deal of the odious Federal election
aw.
We favor the continued maintain
lnce of our free public schools in
he interest of general intelligence
and public information.
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in a Republican govern
nent, we therefore endorse and APP
prove the action of the legislature
Of Arkansas in enacting laws rele-
eating to the people the right of
settling the liquor question for
themselves in accordance with the
wishes and sentiments of the conn
try affected.
We congratulate the people upon
he faithful and economical admin
stration of her state government
lnder Democratic rule, and invoke
he cooperation of all good citizens
n the perpetuation of so desirable
4 condition of affairs.

go is settled by one stroke of the
pen. There is no other course open
now, but this one thing. 1t is re-
proach upon the country that such
IN extremity should have been
reached as now presents itself at
Chicago. 1t is certain that the
tide of disorder, riot and murder
has reached its present height be-
cause of the hesitating policy and
obstruction of the local authorities.
IT will be a fearful mistake, in our
Judgment, if the general Government
does not follow up its first move of
troops to the center of the distur-
bance, by the adoption of the most
prompt and rigid enforcement of
martial law.
The writer of the above strikes
the chord of popular public feeling,
fairly and fully. The time for
temporizing, if it has existed at all,
since the strike trouble began, has
passed, and now only prompt, Wig
orous and determined measures can
avail.

IMMEDIATELY after Mr. Cleveland
went into Office, we, seeing the
trend of his financial views, con-
demned his tendency to gold-bug-
ism, saying he was no longer Dem
ocrat Many of our state contem-
poraries undertook to lecture us,
but they have since come over to
our opinion of Cleveland. And it APP
pears from the silver and bond
planks in our State platform, that
the Arkansas Democracy also agree
with us, that he is not in sympathy
with true Democratic principles.

THE Populists are still contending
for the railroads and telegraph
lines. There are only two ways by
which they can getsthem; One is to
buy them, and the other to steal
them. They cost $4,000, 900, 600
and there is only $4,000, 900, 900 of
actual money in the world.

Kings New Discovery in the house
md his family has always found the
very best results follow its use; that

THE fight between capital and
labor is uncalled for. The interests
of each are identical. Legislation

of the other is unjust. The con

INVESTIGATE
THE
Accumulation Policy.
Why?


Because you need life insu-
rance.
Because the sooner you in
sure the less you will have to
pay.
Because the sooner you in
sure the sooner you will have
an accumulation policy come
due and be paid to you in
cash, if living.
Because this contract can't
be bought except from the
New York Life.
Because the New York Life
is a purely mutual company,
all profits go to policy holders.
Because the Accumulation
Policy is the most liberal con
tract, and guarantees benefits
and advantages that can not
be secured elsewhere.

Exert I'm Times Like These.
My subject this afternoon will take in
two classes of people and / think that will
cover my audience. First, to those who
are Christians, then to those who have
blacksliden and to those who are not
Christians. We all come under one of
these three heads.
think that at just this stage of the
meetings a great deal depends upon the
attitude that Christian people take toward
these services. You can throw your in
fiuence for or against. You will
have opportunities to show on which
side you are. The meetings have
got to just that stage where there
is great deal said for and against.
One great advantage of these meetings is
that II sets people talking, and it gives
you all chance to be preachers. That is
one object Of great union movement like
this. 1t arouses public opinion. AS I
said before great deal depends upon the
attitude you take. There is a passage over
here in PHILIPPIANS that i would like to
read, chap. ill.,, v. Is. Now Paul had ref
erence there to those who professed to be
friends to Jesus Christ. They walk 60
that they were enemies. Their influence
was on the wrong side, and you all
will have an opportunity In
the next few. days to show your colors
You can take your chance. You can
throw your influence against the
work and let your whole family
be without drop of dew, or
you can take the right way and let the
blessing come into your whole house. 1
was preaching in the north of England
some years ago and there was Quaker lady
meeting who had never been in any SER
vice outside OF the Quaker westinghouse.
She had lost child and was very lonely,
and one day she thought she would drop
into one of the public lectures. That day 1t
happened to be "Upon Heaven and II was
balm to her soul. She went home and
told her husband and insisted upon his
bringing her out i'm the evening. She had
a nephew and brother staying with her
and they all four came to the meeting that
night. 1t happened to be in Free Meth
odist church, and II you know anything
about the Free Methodists you know they
arc about the noisiest crowd there is. IL
was strange place for Quakers to be.
That night was talking about conver-
sion and while she was taken up with the
sermon, the men were carried away by
the noise and confusion. On the way
home the brother and nephew were right
behind her, and she heard them making
all manner OF sport OF the meeting When
they reached home she went up stairs TO
take of her things, before going down to
supper, the thought occurred TO her
that the salvation OF those two men
might depend upon her attitude. When
she went to the supper table. She came
