THE PLATFORM.

THE Republican party Is unreserved-
'ly for sound money. II caused the
enactment Of the law providing for the
resumption OF specie payments in 1872;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
we are unalterably opposed 20 every
measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit Of our
country. We are opposed to the free
coinage OF silver. except by inter-
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world,
which we pledge ourselves TO promote.
and until such agreement can be OBJ
"talned the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at
parity with gold and we favor all
measures designed TO maintain lnvio-
"lably the obligations OF the United
states and all our money whether coin
"or paper, at the present standard. the
standard OF the most enlightened ma
"tions OF the earth"
II will be observed that the platform
is in favor OF the gold standard Tor
measure); that Is, Is opposed to the
free coinage OF silver unless by inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world, which
II pledges the party to promote; and un-
I'll such an agreement can be obtained
1t declares the gold standard must be
preserved.
AS no sane man for moment sup
poses that the leading commercial ma
tions OF the world, such as England,
France. Germany, etc, are going to
abandon the gold standard in order to
promote free silver coinage, but on the
international agreement is, while pre-
serving the gold standard which those
nations refuse to give up, to provide
such safeguards as will admit of silver
being again coined as money and cir
culating with gold, without driving the
gold out, It is evident that the declara-
ton of the Republican platform in ia
vor OF the gold standard until an inter-
national agreement is reached is not
declaration that when that agreement
Is reached the gold standard shall be
abandoned, but on the contrary that
It shall still be continued forever More
over, as an international agreement
would prevent silver from driving gold
out of circulation, and would permit
both to circulate together, to open the
mints to silver coinage then would give
us practical bimetallism. and not a
silver monometallism, which is all Mr..
Bryan's project amounts to.
The Republican platform therefore
declares in favor Of the gold standard,
and Of free silver coinage as soon as we
can have practical blmetallism, and not
silver monometalllsm merely,
Now throughout this campaign, Mr..
Bryan has rallied at the Republican
platform. and laughed 1t to scorn. In
his speech in the Chicago convention
he said; why II they tell us the gold
standard is a good thing. we point to
their platform and tell them that their
platform pledges the party to get rid
of the gold standard, and substitute BIZ
metallism." "If the gold standard is
a good thing, why try to get rid of IT,?
. And If the gold standard is a bad
thing. why should we wait till some
other nations are willing to help us let

THE PARTY PLEDGE REPuDrATED.

The Waynesville Courier admits. that
the Democrats Of Haywood are in favor
Of silver, but says they are wrong, and
that it feels it to be its duty to tell
tbcm SO. Tt misunderstood our refer
ence 10 counting the cost" Tt is our
habit to advocate those principles we
believe to he wise, whether the major
ity accept them or not, and it was not
our purpose to criticise the Courier for
doing what we always reserve the right
to do.
Al the same time we regret to see the
Courier and other Democratic papers
unfolding policy condemned by the
state and National platforms Of 1892,
and urging a reputation Of the free
coinage of silver, which the Democrats
have been promising the people since
1873 Such a course upon the part Of in
fucntia} Democratic papers is democrat
ling to party autonomy and destroys
lie confidence of many people in party
platforms. Nobody doubts that the
Democratic State platform declared for
free coinage at the ratio Of l6 to /,
and that the National platform declar-
cd for it with certain conditions. Now,
we have never contended that the Ma
tionaI platform declared for the coin
age at The present ratio, but with both
Houses of Congress and the President,
the partv. If united, could have made
at least step in carrying out the
pledge of free coinage OF both metals,
upon equal terms" This writer never
believed it would be repudiated until
the veto of the seignorage bill, and,
much as Mr.. Cleveland is to be com
1nended for other public acts, his re-
pudiation Of the money pledge in the
Chicago platform is deserving Of crit
eism. for it was the Pandora box from
which have come the party's woes.
If. after telling the people in 1892,
that the Democrats, if put in power,
would remonetize silver, we should
hesitate to criticize the failure 70 Keep
the pledge. how could we look the peo-
Me in the face and ask them to trust Us
again? As it is, we point to the fact
that most of the Democrats were true
to silver:that even in the present Re
publican Congress most of the
votes given for free coinage
were cast by Democrats; that
there are more silver men in the
Democratic party than in all other par
ties. and that the best hope, if not the
only hope of securing it is by
strengthening the silver element in the
party, who are leading the fight for
restoration.

DEMOCRATIC oLUB ORGANIZED.
Rockingham Democrats Take the Lead
IN Campaign Work.

Winston. n. c.. March 21-( Special,)
SO far as heard from, Rockingham
county has the honor of organizing
the first Democratic Club for the next
carpaion. 1t was organized a few days
ago i'm LeaksyilIe township, and the
club adopted a policy which it claims
should interest and attract the atten-
ton of every county in the State. Mr.,
Hiram p Foard is president of the new
organization which adopted the fol-
lowing, showing its objects, etc:
Section j. TO cooperate with the
regular organization of the Democrat
ic party in support of Democratic men
and Democratic measures.
Sec 2 While recognizing the fact
that our monetary system needs adj
iustment, in order to restore conf
dence and maintain sound and stable
currency, yet we do not believe that the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
any ratio whatever that is not estab-
lished by the commercial world would
be a wise and safe adjustment of this
vital issue. We, however, hold to the
use of both silver and gold as the
standard money of the country, and a
the coinage Of both silver and gold,
without discriminating against either
metal or charge for mintage, but the
dollar mint of coinage of both metals
must be Of equal intrinsic and ex-
chanoeable value until the ratio shall
have been established by the CONNER
cial world, or by such safeguards Of
legislation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity of the two metals
and the equal power Of every dollar at
all times in the markets, and in pay
ment Of debt; and we further hold that
all paper currency shall be kept at
par with, and redeemable in, such com.
Section g. 4 further object OF this
organization is to oppose, by every
legitimate means, any movement what
ever tending to the fusion Of the Dem
ocratic party with any other political
PARTY in the State; believing, as we
do. that defeat along the line of a
sound policy will be far less disastrous
/ than compromise Of principle in
order to success.
