ARDMORE TERRITORY SUNDAY MORNING. JULY 12

We demand return to that SIM
plicity and economy which best
BELTS a democratic government
and a reduction in the number
of useless offices, the salaries of
which drain the substance of
the people.
I'VE denOunce arbitrary in
reference authorities in local
affairs as a violation of the con-
stitution of the United States
and u crime against free insti-
tutions, and we especially OBJ
jeet to government by injunc-
ton as Il new and highly dan
gerous form of oppression by
which federal judges, in con-
tempt of the laws of states and
rights of citizens, become at
once legislators, judges and ex-
ecutioners; and we approve the
bill passed at the last session of
the senate and now pending in
the house relative to contempts
in federal courts and providing
for trials by jury in certain cas-
es of contempt
"No determinations should
be indulged in by the govern
ment of the United States in ia
vor of any of its debtors. We
approve of the refusal of the
fifty-third congress to pass the
Pacific railroad funding bill,
and denounce the effort of the
present republican congress to
enact a similar measure.
Recognizing the just claims
of deserving Union soldiers, we
heartily endorse the rule of
Commissioner Murphy that no
names shall be arbitrarily drop
ped from the pension roll and
the fact of enlistment and SER
vice shall be deemed conclusive
evidence against disease and
disability before enlitment.
I'VE extend our sympathy to
the people of Cuba in their he
roic struggle for liberty and in
dependence.
I'VE are opposed to the life
tenure i'll the public service.
We favor appointments based
upon merits, fixed terms of
office, and such an administra-
ton of the civil service laws as
will afford equal opportunities
To all citizens of ascertained fit
ness.
I'VE declare it to be the un-
written law of this republic, es-
tabliShed by custom and sane.
toned by the greatest and wis.
est of those who founded and
have maintained our govern
ment, that no man should be
elegible for n third term oi
presidential office.
Confident in the justice ot
our cause, and the necessity OF
its success at the polls, we sub
NIT the foregoing declaration o.
principles and purposes to the
considerate judgement of tn,
American people. We invit,
the support of all citizens who
approve them and who desir,
to have them made effectiv,

lief of the people and the restor

CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Full Text of the Declaration of PrIncI-
pies Upon Which the National Democ-
racy VIII March to Victory.

CHICAGO, July 8.-The full
report of the committee on reso-
lutiOns, as finally adopted, by a
vote of 80 to IA is as follows:
1--WE, the democrats of the
United States, in national con
ventiOn assembled, do reaffirm
our allegiance to those great
essential principles of justice
and liberty upon which our in
stitutions are founded and which
the democratic party has advo-
Gated from Jefferson's time to
our Own-freedOm of speech,
freedom of press, freedom of
conscience, the preservation of
personal rights. the equality of
all citizens before the law, and
the faithful observance of con
stitutiOnal limitations.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all
others at this time, we invite
attention 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 congress under the
constitution made the silver
dollar the unit of value and adj
mitted gold to free coinage at Il
ratio measured by the silver
dollar unit.
I'VE declare that the act of
1873, demOnetizing silver with
out the knowledge or approval
of the American people has re-
suited III the appreciation Of
gold and a corresponding fall
in the price of commodities pro-
.duced by the people, Il heavy
increase in the burden of taxa
ton and of all debts public and
private, the enrichment of the
money-lending class at home
and abroad, prostration of in
dustry, and impOverishment of
the people.
1--WE are unalterably opposed
to the single gold standard which
has locked fast the prosperity
of an industrious people i'll the
paralysis of hard times. Gold
mOnometallism is Il British
policy, and its adoption has
brought other nations into finan-
cial servitude to London. 1t is
not only un-American, but anti
American, and it can be fasten-
ed on the United States only 10y
! the sitting of that indOmitable
spirit and love Of liberty which
proclaimed our political indie
pendence i'll 1776 and won it il
/ the war of the revolution.
I'VE demand the free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and
silver at the present legal ratio
of Is to without waiting fol
the aid or consent of any othel
nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be
full legal tender, equally will
gold, for all debts, public o.
private, and we favor such leg
islation as will prevent the de
mOnetization of any kind o
legal tender money by private
contract.
I'VE are opposed to the polic!
and practice of surrendering t
the holders of the obligation
of the United States the optiOl
reserved by law TO the govern
ment Of redeeming such Obhga
tions in either silver coin or gol'
coin.
I'VE are opposed to the issu
ing of interest-bearing bonds 0

peace, and condemn the traffic
ing with banking syndicates,
which, in exchange for bonds
at an enormous profit to them
selves, supply the federal treas
my with gold monometallism,
Congress alone has the power
to coin and issue money, and
President Jackson declared that
this power could not be dele
gated to corporations or indi-
viduals. We, therefore, de-
mand that the power to issue
notes to circulate as money be
taken away from the national
banks, and that all paper money
shall be issued directly by the
treasury department.
I'VE hold that tariff duties
should be levied for the purpose
of revenue, and that taxation
should be limited by the needs
of the government honestly
and economically administered.
We denoumce as disturbing to
business the republican threat TO
restore the Mckinley law, which
has been twice condemned by
the people in national elections,
and which, enacted under the
false plea of protection to home
industry, proved IA prolific
breeder of trusts and monopo-
lies, enriched the few at the eX-
pense of the many, restricted
trade and deprived the pro-
ducers of the great American
staples of access to their natural
markets.
Until the money question is
settled we are opposed to any
agitation for further changes in
our tariff laws, except such as
are necessary to make up the
deficit in revenue caused by the
adverse decision of the supreme
court on the income tax.
"There would be no doubt in
/ the revenue but the annulment
by the supreme court of law
passed by a democratic congress
in strict pursuance of the uni
form decisions of that court for
nearly one hundred years, that
court having sustained conSti-
tutional objections to its enact
ment which have been Overrul-
ed by the ablest Judges which
ever sat on the bench. We de-
clare that it is the duty of con-
/ greSs to use all constitutional
power which remains after that
decision, or which may come
from its reversal by the court
as it may hereafter be consti-
tuted, so that the burdens of
taxation may be equally and inn
partially laid to the end that
wealth may bear its due proper.

From the Cincinnati Merchant and

facts from Il carefully prepared article

Stat,stlcs compiled from official tables
on articles manufactured IN this country,
aud ii of which are in demand and used
here and could De manufactured in this

Echoes Of the sacking Of Bob McBride's

Echoes OF the sacking Of Bob McBride's
newspaper office at Mitchell still rever-
berate. II reports be true Mitchell has
not felt the effect of that lawless deed.
Several federal officials Of the land office
and of the postotiice are said to have
been implicated in it and efforts are be-
ing made with the government at Wash
ington to have them removed. OF
course they will feel themselves just as
much entitled to luxuriate in federal
patronage as Bob did to exc out a pre-
carious existence on his plant. A fight
will ensue. An assistant attorney gen
eral of the state has resigned before
there was time to remove him. IL is
stated also that Bob has been offered
$1,000 to settle the matter, but he de-
clined it. He will return to Mitchell
soon and stay by his prosecutors with
another paper.
