Your committee on platform and

On behalf OF the Democracy of
Chariton county, we, its representa-
tives in delegated convention assem-
bled, hereby pledge ourselves anew to
the ancient principles OF our party,
believing that in them consists the
safety and happiness OF the whole
people, under our republican form Of
government.
We maintain that this government
was established by the people and
should be maintained for their bene-
fit. We therefore condemn all class
egislation. the national banking
system, and all state and federal
legislation which directly or indirect
ly promotes or fosters monopolies,
trusts and combines OF any descrip-
ton.
We reiterate the declaration OF our
national platform of 1892 in favor
Of a tariff strictly for revenue; and
1enounce as robbery that system OF
protection whereby comparatively
small fraction OF the population OF
the United States has been enriched,
and the mass OF the people impover-
shed.
We endorse the Wilson tariff bill as
originated in the lower branch OF
and deplore the coward
y and traitorous course of those So
.alled Democrats in the senate, who
ire opposing its passage in that
,ody. We are not willing, however,
% accept the Wilson bill as q final
ettloment OF the question, but only |
ls a step in the direction of an ulti-
nateiy free and unrestricted trade.
We maintain that gold and silver
ire alike the money OF final account,
md deny the right OF the national
ongress to authorize the secretary
4 the treasury to issue bonds pay
bile in gold to defray the ordinary
expenses OF government.
We declare that all paper money,
Ihether issued by state or federal
should be redeemable in
DIN, and that the silver bullion now
D the treasury should be coined into
tandard dollars and paid on all
We endorse the course of Mis-
ouri's senators and Democratic rep
in congress upon the
liver question, except that Of Repre-
sntative Cobb,ot st. Louis, and par
cularly congratulate the Democracy
I Missouri and of the South and
Vest upon the possession OF that
lcorruptible patriot and invincible
hampton OF the people and of the
copies money,-Hon. Richard p.
land.
We are unaltsrably opposed to
ny further juggling or trifiing with
ne Democracy of Missouri upon the
'oney question, and we hereby in
:ruct the delegates from Charlton
'unty to the approaching state
invention to favor no platform or
solution In that body, which un-
