THE PLATFORM
Folio wing are the salient points of the
platform:
We reaffirm the folio wing portion Of the
seventh plank of the last National Demo-
cratic convention:
We hold TO the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country and
to coin both gold and silver without dis
elimination against either metal or charge
for nIintage but the dollar unit of coinage
Of both metals must be of equal Intrinsic
value or be adjusted by inte national agree
ment, or by such safe legislation as shall
insure the maintenance Of the parity of
the two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the, pa yment Of
debts, and we demand that the paper
currency shall be kept at par with and re-
deemabie in such coin"
I'VE insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection of farmers and
laboring classes, the first and most defense
less victims OF unstable money and fiuctu-
ating currency"

In ihe Beginning.

Oar fathers in 17J9 intended to es-
tablish neither "timetallism,"
''monometalhsm," nor any ''metal-
lism" whatever. They took things as
they found them-yold and silver
coins III circulation. Nor dId they at
tempt to create Il unit. They accepted
as such unit the coin which was then
in most universal use about them by
commercial sanction alone, an ar
ranged to make coins OF the same
value by putting into them the proper
amount of silver. Aud SO far were
they from the idea OF creating a new
standard that, as n matter of fact,
they declared hat the coin they pro-
posed to mint should be "of the value
of the Spanish milled dollar as the
same Is now current"-thus constitut-
ing foreign coin at its commercial Or
bullion value, the actual standard by
which the mint was TO be governed.
Recognizing the fact that gold was also
actually used, they provided also for
the coinage OF a ten-dollar gold piece,
to be ''of the value" of ten of the sill
yer dollars, each OF which was in turn
to be of the value OF the Spanish dol
lar accepted as the standard. \ laborl-
Gus Investigation was had as to the
amount OF silver aud gold which the
coins should respectively contain in
order accurately to express their value,
and the result was duly bulletinel by
the law in accord with the Constitution
al provision ito coin money ana reg
ulate the value thereof" just as at
frequent intervals, to this date, the
rates at which the several foreign coins
are accepted at the Treasury are duly
bulletined, and as for fifty years eff
fectiveiy and up to date rs a matter OF
law the worth of certain foreign coins
we're and are estimated by Federal
statute.-Hon. John Dewitt Warner,
