In view OF these other grave departures from
democratic principles, we can not suppcSt the
candidates of that convention, nor be bound
by its acts. srhe democratic party has survived
many defeats but could not survive victory
won in behalf Of the doctrine and policy pro-
claimed In its name ct Chicago.
The conditions. however, which make posi-
BILE such utterances from national convention
are the direct result OF class legislation by the
republican party. It still proclaims. as 1t has
for years the power and duty OF government
to raise and maintain prices by the law and 1t
proposes no remedy for existing evils except
oppressive and unjust taxation.
The National democracy here reconvened
therefore renews its declaration OF faith In
democratic principles. especially as applicable
to the conditions Of the times.
Taxation. tariff excise or direct. is right
fully imposed only for public purposes, and
not for private gain. Its amount is justly
measured by public expenditures, which should
be limited by scrupulous economy The sum
derived by the treasury from tariff and excise
ievies is affected by the state OF trade ana
volume Of consumption. The amount required
by the treasury is determined by the appro-
prfations made by congress. The de-
mand of the republican party for
an increase in tariff taxation has
Its pretext in the deficiency Of revenue. which

Tho Platform.


This convention has assembled to uphold the
principles upon which depend the honor and
welfare Of the American people; In order that
democrats throughout the Union may unite
their patriotic efforts to avert disaster from
their country and ruin from their party.
The democratic party is pledged to equal
and exact justice to all men of every creed
and condition; to the largest freedom OF the
individual consistent with good government;
to the preservation Of the federal government
in Its constitutional vigor and to the support
of the states In all their Just rights; to econo-
INV in the public expenditures; to the main
tenance of tho public faith and sound money
and 1t is opposed to paternal.sm and all class
legislation.
The declarations Of the Chicago convention
attack individual freedom. the right OF private
contract the independence OF the judiciary
and the power of the president to enforce fed
erai laws; they advocate reckless attempt to
increase the price OF silver by legislation to
