ors. We approve of the refusal of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, and de-
nounce the efforts of the present Re-
publican congress TO enact similar
measure.
PENSIONS.
Recognizing the just claims of de-
serving union soldiers we heartily en-
dorse the rule of the present commits
sloner of pensions that no names shall
be arbitrarily dropped from the pen
sion roll; and the fact of enlistment
and service shonld be deemed con-
elusive evidence against disease and
disability before enlistment.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the ter
| rltories of New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma into the United States,
and we favor the early admission OF
all the territories haying the neces-
sary population and resources to en-
title them to statehood, and while
they remain territories, we hold that
the officials appointed to administer
the government of any territory to-
gether with the District of Columbia
and Alaska, should be bona tide resi-
dents of the territory or district in
which the duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes In
home rule and that all public lands
OF the United States should be appro-
prlated to the establishment of free
homes for American citizens. We
recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted delegate In con-
gress, and that the general land and
| timber laws of the United States be
extended TO said. territory.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Monroe doctrine Is originally
declared ,and as interp reted by succeed
| ing presidents, is permanent part OF
! the foreign policy of the United
States, and must at all times be main
tanned
We extend our sympathy to the
people OF Cuba In their heroic strug-
gle for liberty and independence.
THIRD TERM.
We are opposed to life tenure in the
public service. We favor appoint
ments based upon merit, fixed term OF
office, and sach an administration OF
the civil service laws as will afford
equal opportunities TO all citizens OF
ascertained fitness. We declare IL TO
be the unwrltten law OF this republic,
4 ny OhobDlA aha h'trsC VI
one hundred years and sanctioned by
the examples OF the greatest and
wisest of those who founded and have
maintained our government, that no
man should be eligible for third
term In the presidential office.
WATERWAYS.
The federal government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river
and other great waterways OF the re-
public, so as to secure for the interior
states easy and cheap transportation
TO tidewater. When any waterway OF
the republic Is OF sufficient import
ance TO demand aid OF the govern
ment such aid should be extended up
on a definite plan Of continuous work
until permanent improvement IL
secured.
COnfdlng in the Justice OF our cause
and the necessity OF It's success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing declar'
ations Of principles and purposes 10
the considerable Judgment OF the
American people. We invite the sup
port OF all citizens who approve theul
and who desire TO have theaa made
effective through legislation for the
relief OF the people and the restoration
OF the country's prosperity.

A MODEL PLATFORM.

Adopted by the Democrats In National
Convention.
The following is 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
Jetferson'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 cOntining 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 reatirms its devotion
to these fundamental principles OF
the constitution.
| 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 meta
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
mitted gold to free coinage at ratio
based upon the silver dollar unit.
| VIC OndU oOb Vi AOiO hC
monetizing silver without the knowl
edge or approval of the American peo
pie has resulted in the appreciation
of gold, and corresponding fall IL
the price of commodities produced by
the people; heavy increase in thu
burden of taxation and of all debts
public and private; the enrichment o
the money lending class at home ant
abroad, the prostration of industry
and impoverishment Of the people
We are unalterably opposed to mon
ometallism, which has locked fast TIN
prosperity of an industrial people il
paralysis of hard times, Gold mono
metallsm is British policy, and it
adoption has brought other nation
into financial seryitude to London
1t is not only un-American, but anti
American, and it can be fastened OF
the United States only by the stifiinl
of that spirit and love Of libert.
which proclaimed our political inde
pendence in 1776 and won in the wa
of the revolution.

It is stated on good authority that the supervisors of Pima county have as yet appropriated no money in the current year to the roads in the south end of the county, by which trade and travel come to Nogales Regularly each levy of taxes takes out of the pockets of taxpayers in this part Of the county the full provision of law for road fund, but since the south end was denied representation on the board not a cent has been expended on the roads here, save what MT. Avery got by personally going to Tue son, nearly eighteen months ago, and induced the board to appropriate for the Gro Blanco road. Such a course of procedure is manifestly unfair, un- just and unnecessary. The board should distribute the road fund fairly and impartially throughout the county.
 N. B. Observe the power of q newspaper. Since the above was in type word is received that the board of supervisors has appropriated $500 to the Ncgales road district and has ap- pointed T. D. CasaDega road oyerseer.

TIE DIFFERENCE.

This week Nogales has been visited by a mining man of experience, now operatingIn Sonora, Mir. George w. Snyder, who related an Instance close at hand of the difference between mining in free silver Mexico and the hi-metallic United States. He has let contract Go run a tunnel on one of his properties for two dollars per foot in Mexican money. and the contractor hires his labor for sl50 per day in the same coin. In Colorado and New Mexico the same kind Of work cost five dollars gold per foot, and the mon received three dollars. gold, per day The Mexican miners pay four cents per pound for second grade flour, while the Colorado miners get first quality for three and three.quarters cents in gold; and everything they consume has about the same proportion in price in favor of the ColoTadal laborer. Great is the prosperity af free silver Mexico
 but the mine owner enjays ihe lions share uf the prosperity. Now, it would be unfair tu say that such Is the condition the silver niue owners in Colorado and other free silver states wish to bring about; but people can not help thinking so occasionally.
