That part of the platform dealing with

The Platform.
1.-THE democracy of Ohio, in convention as
sembled, hereby expresses itself heartily
in commentator of the efficient, economi-
cal and honest administration OF President
Cleveland
1--WE adhere to the declarations of the
democratic party in its national platform;
that protection is a fraud, and we recognize
the beneficial reduction of duties on inn
ports just made by congress. We favor
such further reduction as can be made,
holding in view the revenue necessary to be
raised for the support OF the government
TO the end that the injustice of purely
protective duties be abolished.
we congratulate the country upon the re-
neal of the Mckinley tariff and the enact
ment of a tariff law i'm its stead, under the
operation of which trade and business are
reViVing and the country again becoming
PROSPEROUS. The Mckinley tariff went into
OpesTatiOn less tnan Tour years ago, yet
in that short period Of time the country
changed from prosperity TO condition of
financial and Industrial depression unpar-
alleled in our history as a nation. Under its
operation the revenues derived from duties
ON imports decreased to n sum insufficient
TO meet the expenses OF the government,
thereby necessitating the sale of bonds.
'sWhile il was in force there were harder
times, more companies and more business
houses bankrupted. more forced sales and
more distress and restitution than was ever
D. Is try - la N
time. The republican pretense that these
results were caused by change of admins
denial seems unnecessary, for it must not
be overlooked that until within the last
thirty days every commodity bought OF
sold, including every bushel OF grain ana
every pound of wool in the market, was
bought and sold under the Mckinley tariff
which was I'm full operation, doing It's per-
feet work, and chat since its repeal business
has revived and the marked Improvement
is complete answer to the charge.
I'VE dissent from the presidents views,
construction and treatment OF the silver
question. and. therefore, believe that sill
Yer should be restored TO the position II
occupied money prior To its demonetiza-
ton by the republicans and consequent
increase of interest-bearing debt OF the gov
eminent. Under il more business failures
occurred than ever before In the history OF
the country in the same period or time
While il was in operation there were more
people out Of employment, more labor
strikes. more bread riots. less employment
ever before known. Under its operation
the produce of the farmer especially wheat
and wool. reached the lowest prices known
since the war and 10 that end we favor the
unlimited free coinage Of silver at the
legal ratio of 16 TO l. and with equal legal
tender power.
the democratic party has always been
the champion of equal rights and religious
liberty. Ii has ever been hostile to political
prescription on account Of religious opinion.
We therefore. denounce the American Pro-
tective Association and all organizations
which make religious belief a test of polit-
zeal preferment.
1--WE favor liberal pensions 70 worthy
soldiers. sailors and marines, their widows
and orphans"
The other portions Of the platform deal
with state politics. some space being given
TO denouncing the Mckinley administra-
ton and the recent republican legislation
OF the state.
