THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration Of principles:
l.. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is ind,sputsbly the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank cur
reucy on one side, and the bimetsllic
standard, no boads and government cur.
reucy on the other. On this issue we de.
clare ourselves to be in favor Of a dis.
tinctively American system. We are
~unalterably opposed to the single cole
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard Of gole
and silver by restoration by this govern
ment, Independently of any foreign pow
or, Of the unrestricted coinage Of boil
gold and silver into standard money a
the ratio Of l6 to l. and upon terms O
exact equality as they existed prior t
1879, the silver coin 70 be full legal ten
der equally with gold for all debts an

dues public and private, and w favor
such legislation fs will prevent further
decentralization Of any kind Of legal ten
der money by private contract. We
hold the power 10 control and regulate
paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that all
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and its volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and 1t should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States Of Understanding bonds
IN time Of peace, and We denounce as a
b!under worse han a crime the present
treasury policy; ]concurred in by the re-
publican house, of %p!unging the country
IN debt by hundredso o. millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and we de nand the
payment of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
, laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option of the government and not at the
option Of the creditors.
,. That over and above all other ques-
tons of policy, we are in favor OF restor-
ing TO the people of the United States
the time. hOnored money OF the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money Of Washington, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American pee
! pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples of the country, and to The
end further that present silver STANDARD
countries may be deprived Of the unjus
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to tn
people OF the United States to leave i
allegiance for the moment all other ques
tions, however important and even me
mentous they may appear-to sunder
need be all former party ties and affiili'
tlone, and unite in = supreme effort
free themselves and their children frol

has ever been f~st ned upon civiliZe
man Of any race or in any age. An
upon the cOrsumnntion OF Onr desire
and efforts we invoke the gracious fave
OF Divine Providence.

The democratic congressional COM
mi,tse ISSUES a manifest, from Washing
ton warning the voters Of the United
States against the designs OF the repub-
lican national committee iu the coming
election. 1t says it is well known by all
parties that II q free and u~nlntiuenced
vote could De had to-day Bryan wonld
be overwhelmingly elected, and tina: the
preposterous claims made by the gold
republican management have been made
with the u~lterior purpose of covering up
great steals and fraud to be committed
by them in the coming election. To
this end the manifesto states that the
republican management have laid by
several millions OF money TO be used
election day. Beaten at every point, the
last resort OF money is to buy the ballot
OF the voter by purchasing his absence
from the polls or to coerce his vote by
intimidation. Secretary Edgerton Of the
populist national committee has issued
q similar circular warning his people
against the preposterous claims of the
republicans and their intention to pur.
chase outright the voters and e~lectinr
boards. He says, in part:
"We have evidence that, In the cleo

Sioux Falls Press, 80: On next Mon
day the railroads will restore the freight
rates on coal and wheat which existed
before the cut. The coming rate will
raise the transportation tariff on hard
coal from g. to 50 per ton, and will add
about 3 cents a bushel to wheat. The
old rate on wheat to Minneapolis was Is
cents a hundred and to Chicago % cents
a hundred. This was cut on October
i to 1879 cents TO Minneapolis ard 20
cents to Chicago. The tariff of Novem-
Der 2 restores the rate on wheat to the
old tariff, which makes a difference to
producers OF 3 cents a bushel. The new
rate which goes into effect Monday rails
es the rate on hard coal from 81 to 81 q
ton. All the Sioux Falls dealers, have
shipped in their winters supply OF coal
as they did last year while the cut was
on, and there is 40 reason why the price
of coal should advance here 81 q ton.
