The platform reported By tho ma
jority to the Democratic National
Convention is much more explicit
than such declare ions usually are.
There is nothing ambiguous in it,
which implies that ts trainers, whether
right or wrong, are sincere and do
not attempt to deceive. It declares
for freedom of speech, freedom Of
press, freedom of conscience, tho
preservation of personal rights, the
equa ity of all American citizens BE-
fore the law, and the faithful obser-
vance of Constitutional provisions.
1t recognizes that the money question
is the paramount issue; that the first
coinage law of the United States made
the silver dollar the unit of value and
admitted gold to free coinage at the
ratio measured by the silver dollar
unit. and that tho act of 1873 de-
mon etizing silver has resulted in tho
appreciation of gold and a correspond
