INCOME TAX.

Until the money question is settled
we are opposed to any agitation for
further changes in our tariff laws, ex-
cept such as are necessary TO meet the
deficit In revenue caused by the ad-
verse decision of the supreme court on
the income tax. But for this decision
by the supreme court there would be
no deficit in the revenue under the law
passed by a Democratic congress in
strict pursuance of the uniform deci-
sions of that court for 100 years, tina t
court having in that decision sus-
tained constitutional objections to it's
enactment which had previously been
overruled by the ablest judges who
have ever sat on the bench. We de-
clare that it is the duty of congress to
use all the constitutional power which
remains after that decision, or which
may come from its reversal by the
court as it may hereafter be consti-

, the government Of redeeming such OBJ
legations in either silver coin or gold
coin.
We are opposed to the issuing of in
terest-bearing bonds of the United
States in time of peace, and condemn
the trafficking with banking syndi-
Gates which, in exchange for bonds
and at an enormous profit to them
selves, supply the federal treasury
with gold to maintain the policy Of
gold recommendation.
ISSUE OF MONEY.
Congress alone has the power to
coin and issue money, and Prerident
Jackson declared that this power
could not be delegated to corporations
or individuals. We therefore de-
nounce the issuance of notes intended
to circulate as money by national
banks as in derogatiOn OF the cors'i-
tuition, and we demand that al p.p' T
which is made a legal tender CT
public and private debts or which is
receivable for duties to the United
States shall be be issued 10y the gov
ernment of the United States and
shall be redeemable in coin.
TARIFF.
We hold that tariff duties should be
! levied for purpose of revenue, such du-
ties to be so adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country and
not discriminate between class or Sec
tion, and that taxation should be
limited by the needs of the govern
ment honestly and economically ad-
ministrated.
We denounce as disturbing to busi-
ness the Republican threat to restore
the Mckinley law, which has twice
been condemned by the people in ma
tional elections, and which, enacted
under the false plea of protection to
home industry, proved a prolific
breeder of trusts and monopolies, en-
riched the few by the expense of the
many, restricted trade, and deprived
the producers of the great American
staples of access to their natural mar
kets.

FINANCE.

Recognizing that the money ques.
tion is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact
that the constitution names silver
and gold together as the money metals
of the United States, and that the
first coinage law passed by congress
under the constitution made the sill
yer dollar the money unit, and ad-
ed-gOld to free coinage at ratio
based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 de-
monetizing silver without the knowl-
edge or approval of the American peo-
pie has resulted in the appreciation
of gold, and corresponding fall In
the price of commodities produced by
thespeeple; heavy increase in the
burden of taxation and of all debts,
public and private; the enrichment of
the money lending class at home and
abroad, the prostration of industry,
and impoverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mon
Ometallism, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people in
paralysis of hard times, Gold mono
metallism is British policy, and it's
adoption has brought other nations
into financial servitude to London.
1t is not only un-American, but anti
American, and it can be fastened on
the United States only by the sitting
of that spirit and love of liberty
which proclaimed our political inde-
pendence iu l776 and won in the war
of the revolu tion.

Adopted by the Democrats
in National Convention.
MONEY QUESTION PARAMOUNT
Opposes Gold MonOmetaIIiSm =,
Favors Free Coinage of Silver

The following i the full and COM
plete platform as adopted by the
National Democratic convention:
We, the Democrats of the United
States IN national convention assemb-
led, do reatfirm our allegiance to those
great essential principles Of justice
and liberty upon which our institu-
tions are founded, and which the
Democratic party has advocated from
JeffersOn's time to our Own-freedom
of speech, freedom of the press, free
dom Of conscience, the preservation of
personal rights, the equality Of all
citizens before the law, and the faith
full observance of constitutional limi-
tations.
During all these years the Demo
cratic party has resisted the tendency
of selfish interests to the centraliz-
alton of governmental power, and
steadfastly maintained the integrity
of the dual scheme Of government
established by the founders of this
republic of republics. Under its
guidance and teachings the great
principle of local self-government has
found its best expression in the main
tenance of the rights of the states
and in its assertion Of the necessity
of confining the general government
to the exercise of powers granted by
the constitution of the United States.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
The constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen the
rights of civil and religious liberty.
The democratic party has always been
the exponent of political liberty and
religious freedom and it renews its
obligations and reafrms its devotion
to these fundamental principles of
the constitution.
