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

The Democratic party OF Arkdn-
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-affirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol
lowing specific declarations:
We insist upon a strict compli-
ance with the repeated declara-
lions of the party in favor of a 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
a fair competition in the markets
Of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted 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
fair share of the expenses OF the
government, which have for so long
time been borne by the consump-
tion of the people. We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873,
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and 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
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of 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-
peal of the odious Federal election
law
We favor the continued maintain
ance of our free public schools in
the interest of general intelligence
and public information.
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in a Republican govern
ment, 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
the faithful and economical admin
istration of her state government
under Democratic rule, and invoke
the cooperation of all good citizens
in the perpetuation of so desirable
condition of affairs,
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-07-05

WHEN Ben Meyers present term
expires Pulaski county will be with
out representation at the state
house, but ours is a Democracy that
never sulks, and we shall continue
to give the state ticket the largest
majority of any county in the state.
Our people never carry knives in
their sleeves, and although they
would have rejoiced in the victory
Of Meyers, they will, nevertheless,
stand by the nominees, exerting
every effort to secure the greatest
victory ever recorded in the history
Of the party.-[Arkansas Demo

A very encouraging meeting was held at the grange hall, Wednesday afternoon January 3, and as the members seem tc increase at each meeting it looks as ii we might, before great while, have quite an association. A great many views were expressed at the meeting by the different ones present. Edward Taylor expressed some very substantial remarks and spoke very encouragingly. Robert Tomlinson also presented a few good ideas. Charles c. Peck, president of the trotting association, was appoint ed to look up a suitable location and negotiate for the purchase of the same. It has been decided to form stock con- pany, issuing shares of $l0 per share, and as most associations meet with great success when properly carried on, we expect to hear from some of the monled men about here. Let us have fair in the fall of 1894 in Newtown. The date of the next meeting will be announced in THE BE- Secretary of Trotting Association.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.

As the result of the presents which the children brought to the Sunday school Christmas entertainment to be sent after wards to some worthy charity, a large box of games, dolls, books and toys was shipped last Friday to the Hospital Cot tages for Children at Baldwinville, Mass. The children are to be congratulated on this earnest endeavor to do good. The gifts all showed that much care had been bestowed in their preparation and that they were the expression of willing and loving hearts.
 The plan of passing in apples and po- tatOes at the door as admission tickets the evening of the Sunday school festi- val proved very successful. Three bar rels were thus filled, and they have since been shipped, two to Danbury where Rev Albert F.. Pierce, pastor of the First Con- gregational church, will see to it that they are distributed among the deserving poor and one to Mir Griggs, former sex ton of the church, who is now in Bridge port in very needy circumstances.
 Every one of the members and all in- terestcd in the work of the church are re- quested to make earnest effort to be pres ent next Sunday morning, January :. A matter will then be presented to the peo- pie which means much toward placing the church in the way to do it's best work and the success of this effort depends en- tirely on the cooperation of all who have the church's welfare most at heart.
