DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the democrats of the United
States, IN national convention as
sembled, do reaffirm our allegi-
ance to the essential principles Of
justice and liberty upon which our
institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has
advocated from Jefferson's time to
our Own-freedom of speech, free
dom of The press--freedOm of con-
science, the preservation of per
sonal rights, the equality Of al
citizens before the law, and the
faithful observances of constitu.
tional limitations. During all
these years the democratic party
has resisted the tendency of sell
fish interests to the Capitalization
OF government power and stead
tasty maintained the integrity of
the dual scheme of the govern
ment established by the founders
of this republic Of republics. Tn
der its guidance and teachings the
great principle of local self.go
eminent has found its best express
sion in the maintenance of rights
of the States, and in its assertion
of the necessity of continuing the
general government to the exer.
else of the powers granted by
the Constitution of the United
States.
The constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen
the right of civil and religious lib
erty. The democratic party has
always been the exponent of polit-
ical liberty and religious freedom,
and it renews its obligation and
reatfirms its devotion to those fun.
damental principles of the con.
ventiOn.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all others
at this time, we invite the atten
ton to the fact that the federal
constitution names silver and gold
together as the money metals of
the United States, and that the
first coinage law passed by con-
gress under the constitution made
the silver dollar the monetary unit
and admitted gold to free coinage
at the rate based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873,
demOnetizing silver without. the
knowledge or approval of the
American people, has resulted in
the appreciation of gold and a cor.
responding fall in the prices of
commodities produced by the peo-
pie, a heavy increase in the burden
of taxation and of all debts, pub.
lie and private, the enrichment of
the money lending class at home
and abroad, the rrostration of in
dustry and impoverishment of the
people.
We are unalterably opposed to
monometalliSm, which has locked
fast the prosperity of an Industrial
people in the paralysis of hard
times. Gold monometallism is a
British policy and its adoption has

clal Servltude 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 DO.
litical Independence in 1775, and
won in the war of the revolution.
We demand the free and unlim
tied coinage of both silver and
gold at the present ratio of 16 to

consent of any other nation.
We demand that the standard

-Four large clipper ships with cargoes
of California wheat and barley are now
racing from San Francisco to Queens
town.. There is rivalry to see which yes
sci will reach her destination first. and
there is a good business reason for a
speedy return voyage, as a large amount
Of wheat is ready for shipment and good
prices are paid for this service. Among
the vessels attracted by the demand for
wheat cargoes is the whaleback sailing
ship Bermuda, which is a freak in
sea architecture. as she has no bulwarks.
and only two mall houses on her decks.
The ship proved a goo sailor in the
rough voyage round Cape Horn. Twenty
English tramp steamers have also been
chartered to carry this California wheat
to British 0 mills. Over half Of these
steamers have already cleared with large
cargoes-Harper's Weekiy.

PROSPEROUS SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Annual Meeting of the Summit Ave-
nue. Baptist Church.

The annual meeting of the Sunday
school of the Summit Avenue Baptist
Church was held last night. There was
a large attendance and the meeting was
the largest the school ever had. There
was but one ticket in the field for the
various offices and consequently they
were all unanimously elected. They are:
Maxwell Manchester, Jrs Superintendent;
Mrs. Fletcher, Assistant Superintendent;
Mrs. Gemherling, Superintendent Inter
mediate Grade; Miss Grace Hook. Super
intendent Primary Department.; Mr.. Ed
ward Gray, Secretary; Mr.. George Horn,
Treasurer; Mr.. Anderson, Librarian.
The reports of the various officers were
received. The treasurer's report showed
a alance in the treasury of $3.50; the
secretary reported that the membership
of the school was over 200, the largest in
the history of the church, the librarians
report stated that there were 800 volumes
in the library, and the Piano Committee
reported the purchase of a new grand up
right piano. Several new pieces of fur
niture were reported as having been add
ed to the Sunday school room, among
which was a handsome new pulpit desk.
Following the meeting a social session
was enjoyed, during which the newly
elected officers were congratulated.

Hew to XIII a woman.

A noted physician, whose speciality is
diseases of women, once said to me:-"If
l had a wife whom l wanted to get rid
of / would build a house with a step up
or down in every possible place.. Then l
would manage so she would be obliged,
like most of the country wives, TO do her
own homework, and my object would be
speedily accomplished. / should soon
have a hrst-class invalid on my hands
for whom it woul be entirely safe to APP
point an early funeral-the corpse would
surely be ready. Country people call
new ideas city fads. 1t is a fad of the
country people to ignore all fads. They
can, many of them, see no reason why
a city chap should prefer unbolted wheat
bread to hot griddle cakes, nor why fresh
cream should be more acceptable to his
enlightened stomach than rancid butter.
I'm a land flowing with milk and
honey" the farmer seldom tastes either;
he sells the latter and fattens pigs with
the former. While he allows the city
boarders to monopolize the fannels and
the Jaeger union suits, he, the farmer,
sits around on damp days in cotton
shirts and no coat, and wonders why his
life is made miserable with rheumatism.

Well to Remember.

What is good for one is not always
good for another. This is Illustrated In
a short tale told some time ago about
a French medical student. While in
London on a visit the student lodged in
the house with a man very sick with a
fever, who was continually besieged by
his nurse to drink very nauseating liquids
which were lukewarm. The sick man
found this almost impossible to do, until
one day he whispered to his nurse.
Bring me a salt herring and I will
drink as much as you please
The woman INDUCED him in his re-
guest; he ate the herring, frank. the
ton, and recovered.
The French student, thinking this very
clever, inserted in his journal, Salt her
ring cures an Englishman of fever
On his return to France he prescribed
the same remedy to his first patient with
a fever. The patient died. On which he
inserted in his journal: IN. B.-A salt
herring cures an Englishman, but kills
a Fsrenehman.'-Harper's Round Table.

fitting climax to the holly contested battle
residents of his city, regardless of former
political belief, paraded in honor of sound
money last night. Never before in the
history of this city have the people en-

much enthusiasm as was shown tonight.
Nearly all the houses along the route
were decorated lavishly and Illuminated
from garnet to cellar, Fully $500 men
were in line, Aas well as numerous floats,
which were quite elaborate in their de-
sign. Five hundred h%orsenen also con-
tributed to the success which the affair
proved to be.
