and still is the hard money party and it
will preserve that record. II IS opposed
TO legal tender paper money as a part
OF Our hnancldI system and II refuses 10
sanction any paper currency incontrover-
tiole with coin. The United States notes
and treasury notes being in fact debts Of
the government, should pe gradually PAID
OF, retired and cancelled. TniS should
and must be done in such manner as to
cause no contraction OF the circulating
money OF the country. So long as they
exist, however, and are permitted TO CIR
cuiate as money, they should be redeem
able at all times upon demand IN the
standard money of the country.
Inc Democratic party is pledged to the
resolute maintenance of the puDlic credit
at all times and under all circumstances
and it is therefore opposed TO the repeal
OF any existing statute which enables the
secretary OF the treasury by the issue or
bonds or otherwise TO provide an ade-
Quate fund for the redemption in gold of
our paper obligations whenever tneces-
sary.
S-We reiterate our adherence to the
principle OF a tariff for revenue only. we
are opposed to
GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP
with the protected monopolies and we
demand that import duties, nike other
taxes, should be lmpartially laid and
their imposition limited to the necessities
OF the government economically admin
iStered. Federal taxation should not be
imposed TO DeneiI INDIVIDUAL lulSISStS d.
the expense of the general welfare. we
repudIate the doctrine that II IS the
province of the government by the exer-
else or abuse of The power of taXauon, TO
build upon q mans business at the eX-
pense Of another'S, or to impose DufoenS
upon one class of citizens for the benefit
OF other classes, and we insist that no
public taxation. except Tor pupllc pur-
poses, is The true theory upon winch our
system Of government is based and upon
nOnoSllN
partially administered.
Upon this principle of revenue reform,
the Democratic party takes no step back
ward.
We endorse the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, particularly commend
him for his determined effort TO MAINTAIN
the financial credit of the United states.
1t is hereby further resolved that the

Ex-Governor Flower offered the follow

Whereas, party division at Chicago on
the silver question will endanger Demo-
