The lot could not fall on but
one to be nominated in the Dem
ocratic convention, and it fell
on q noble man. The MESSENG-
had raised the name of Rich
Up. Bland; of purse it was
not for a Populist to say what a
Democratic convention should
do, but when we saw a man who
had been 80 ~untiring and faith
full in support a redeeming inan-
cial policy as had Mr.. Bland we
felt that it would be but even
handed justice TO reward him
with highest promotion and far
ther, that everything would be
safe in his hands. Our opinion
Is not changed; our esteem is just
as great, our confidence in him
lis, as ever, mistaken. Richard
5RBland would make a model
Hesident under whose direction
our government would have
been redeemed from the ruin
which has been laid upon us by
the last administration; and we
should have more than rejoiced
to have seen him nominated.
1t was not to be. BY no means
will the nation forget his valor,
his patriotism. 1t may be best
as it is. We hope; we think it
is. Victory, now, is essential.
AS we look over the whole field,
it appears to us that we can see
o directing Providence in the
turn of affairs. William jennings
Bryan was too young to have
taken any part either in counsel
or action in our civil war, and,
therefore, that question will be
eliminated from the campaign.
Bland is far too noble to harbor
any prejudice in that direction,
but you could not impress that
upon the minds of all of the
American people. Again there
is surrounding his social life and
the rearing of his children what
gives fear to a host of noble men
and women in our government.
Truer patriots, we do not believe
lives than both Bryan and Bland;
but that, even if others thought
the same, would not remove the
honest fear. The domestic sur
roundings of some men are indi-
cations of weakness to others
that they dare not trust, and un-
doubtedly this fear was one reas-
on why so good, SO great, so
pure a man was not placed in the
extreme front. But he is not
lost to our nation-all a trust
him in other fields; and we have
secured another for that high
position who is equally good,
equally great, about whom there
is no fear and against whom
there car be no prejudice. Per-
haps more surely, as it is, do we
await the most glorious victory.

DEMocRTEIc ~PLzrFoRn.

Following is a full text of the
National Democratic platform as
adopted at Chicago, July g., 1896.
1t is a platform that all loyal
citizens can stand on with both
feet. 1t is a straight Populist
platform with one or two ex-
ceptions !:
We, the Democrats of the Unit
ed States in National convention
assembled, do reaffirm our alleg-
lance to those great essential
principles of justice and liberty
upon which our institutions are
founded, and which the Demo
cratic party has advocated from
Jefferson's time to our own
freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, freedom of conscience,
the preservation of personal
rights, the equality of all citizens
before the law, and the faithful
observance of constitutional limi-
tations.
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 it's obi
cations and reaffirms the devo-
ton of these fundamental princi-
pies of the Constitution.
STATE RIGHTS.
During all these years the
Democratic party has resisted
the tendency of selfish interests
to the Capitalization of govern
mental power, and steadfastly
maintained the integrity of the
dual scheme of government, es-
tablished by the founders of this
republic of republics. Under it's
guidance and teachings the great
principle of local self-govern-
ment has found it's best express
sion in the maintenance of the
rights of the states, and in it's
assertion of the necessity of con-
fining the general government to
the exercise of the powers grant
ed by the Constitution of the
United States.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all 9th
ers at this time, we invite atten-
ton to the fact that the Federal
Constitution names silver and
gold together as the money met
ais of the United States, and
that the first coinage law passed
by congress under the Constitu-
ton made the silver dollar the
monetary unit, and admitted gold
to free coinage at a ratio based
upon the silver 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
corresponding fall in the prices
of commodities produced by the
people.
We are unalterably opposed to
recommendation, which has locked
fast the prosperity of an indus
trial people in the paralysis of
hard times. Gold monometalism
is a British policy, and its adop-
ton has brought other nations
into financial servitude to Lon
don. 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 pro-
claimed our political independ-
ence in 1916, and won it in the
war of the Revolution.
FREE SILVER.
We demand the free and unlin1it-
ed coinage of both gold and silUera at
the present legal ratio Of IS to 1
without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation. We
demand that the standard ci1va,.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-07-28

~ - AAAO VA HOAoOSy
and condemn the trafficking with
banking syndicates which, in ex-
change for bonds at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the
federal treasury with gold to
maintain the policy of gold mono
metallism.
Congress alone has power to
coin and issue money, and Presi-
Jackson declared that this power
could not be delegated to corpor-
atioas or to individuals. We,
therefore, denounce the issuance
of notes as money for national
banks as in derogation of the
Constitution, and we demand
that all paper which is made
legal tender for public and pri-
vate debts, or which is receivable
for dues to the United States
shall be issued by the govern
ment of the United States, and
shall be redeemable in coin.
TARIFF FOR REVENUE.
We hold that the tariff duties
should be levied for the purpose
of revenue, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country and not
discriminate between class or
section, and that taxation should
be limited by the needs of the
government honestly and econ
omically administered. We de-
nounce 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 indus
try, proved a prolific breeder of
trusts and monopolies, enriched
the few at the expense of the
many, restricted trade and de-
prived the producers 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 neces-
sary to meet the deficit in reyen-
ne caused by the adverse decis-
ion of the Supreme Court on the
income tax.
THE INCOME TAX.
There would be no deficit in
the revenue but for the annul-
ment by the Supreme Court of a
law passed by a Democratic con-
gress in strict pursuance of the
uniform decisions of that court
for nearly one hundred years,
that court having in that decis-
ion sustained constitutional OBJ
jections to it's enactment which
had previously been overruled
by the ablest judges who have
ever sat upon that bench. We
declare that it is the duty of
congress to use all the constitu-
tional power which remains after
that decision, or which may
come from it's reversal by the
court, as it may hereafter be
con stituted, so that the burdens
of taxation may be equally and
impartially laid, to the end that
wealth may bear its due proper
ton of the expenses of the gov
eminent.
IMMIGRATION.
We hold that the most efficient
way of protecting American lab
or is to prevent the importation
of foreign pauper labor to com
pete with it in the home market,
aud that the value of the home
market to u American farmers
and artisans is greatly reduced
by a vicious monetary system,
which depresses the prices of
their products below cost of pro-
duction, and thus deprives them
of the means of purchasing the
products of our home manufac-
tories.
