The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1895-08-28
The Platform.

The Democratic party of Ohio in con,
vention assembled points with satisfaction
and pride to the wisdom of the action of
that party in the last two years, and the
results accomplished according 70 its
promises, towit:
The repeal Of the Republican legislation
Known as the Sherman law, the un-A Amer.
lean Federal election law aud the Nc
kiniey law. from which repeals has re.
suited returning prosperity to the coun-
try to such an extent that even the Re-
publicans are pledged to recognize the
same.
We congratulate President Cleveland
that his EFFORTS in favor of the repeal Of
this vicious law and the upholding of the
credit Of the country have been succssfuI.
We congratulate our senator, Hon. Call
vim s. Brice, for the earnest and effective
support he has given to the president in
these matters. When We consider the
facts that the Democratic party received
from the Republicans in 1892 bankrupt
treasury that it inherited from the vicious
currency and tariff laws which had pre-
pared and finally produced the panic of
l&S. we insist that it Ia entitled to the
thanks OF the people for the courags with
which 1t has STACKED and repealed these
laws. Z y
We reafilrm the following portion of the
seventh plank Of the last national Demo-
cratic conventions:
We held to the use Of both gold and all
yer ~ the STANDARD money of the country.
and to coin both gold and silver without
discrimination against each metal or
charge for mintage. but the dollar unit Of.
eoinage OF both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and cxchanReAble value, or be
nd5ustet by International agreement, or
hy such safe legislation as shall insure
the maintenance Of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power of every dol
lar at all times in the payment of debts.
aud we demand that the paper currency
ehali be kept at par with and redeenable
In such coin.
We insist on this policy a. especially
necessary for the protection of Farmers
and laboring classes. the first and most
oetenseless victims of unstable money
and ductuating currency.
