THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Declares for Free Coinage Of Silver at
the Present Ratio of 16 to 1.

Declares for Free Coinage OF Silver at
tho Present Ratio of 16 to L.
We. the democrats of the United States,
In convention assembled, reaffirm our al
legiance to those great essential principles
Of justice and liberty upon which our In
situations are founded. and which the
democratic party has advocated from JET
ferson'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 limitations.
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 govern
ment. as established by the founders OF
this republic of republics. Under its guild
ance and teachings, the great principle Of
local self government has found its best
expression in the maintenance of the rights
Of states and it's assertion of the necessity
of combining the general government to the
exercise of the powers granted by the con-
stitution of the United States. Recogniz-
ing that the money question is paramount
to all others at this time, we invite atten-
ton to the fact that the federal con-
stitution named 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 monetary unit and adj
mitted gold to free coinage at ratio based
upon the silver-dollar unit.
We declare that the act Of 1873. demone-
tizing silver without the knowledge or APP
prevail Of the American people, has result
ed In the appreciation Of gold and cor
responding fall in the price Of commodities
produced by the people, a heavy increase
In the burden Of taxation, and Of all debts,
public and private. the enrichment of the
money-lending classes at home and abroad.
prostration of industry and impoverish-
ment Of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mono
metalism. which has locked fast the pros

paralysis of hard times. Gold monometal-
Ism Is British policy. and its adoption
has brought other nations into financial
servitude to London. 1t Is not only un-
American, but anti-American. and can be
fastened on the United States only by the

which proclaimed our political indepen-

significant. 1t is these small amounts,
however, which disturb financiers and
cause an additional depression in the
stock market.
REPORTS were current and found
ready credence that steamships sailing
for Europe this week will take away
the largest quantity of gold shipped in
any one week in months. Several of
the largest gold shipping banking
houses were said to be preparing to
make shipments and they would not
deny the report. The rate of exchange
also advanced to point near where
gold shipments will be profitable. and
in addition the report that the Roths-
childs are to issue new 5000, 900, 900
loan of gold to aid Russia in going to
the gold basis was thought to be an in
dication that other large shipments on
special contract will be made. Deputy
Assistant Treasurer Auhlman. of the
subtreasury, in speaking of this loan
said:
'f the loan is made it will quite
naturally result in gold being with
drawn from this country, but / have
no information as to the loan, and
therefore cannot make a prediction. "
The amount of gold which it is said
will be withdrawn from the subtreas-
ury for shipment this week is variously
estimated at from $1,000, 900 to 3d.
900, 900.
The gold in the treasury today is
estimated at $98,271, 900, and predic-
tions are made that by the lst OF
August the gold reserve will be close
to $50, 900. There has as yet
been no talk of a probable issue OF
bonds in case the reserve falls to dan.
gerously low figure, but several well
known bankers say there need be nc
alarm on that score, for President
Cleveland will undoubtedly issue bonds
at any time he may deem it necessary.

the delegates wrought to an intense
pitch over the sensational develop
ments Of the previous day, when the
Bryan wave swept through the con.
vention, and threatened for q time al
least to stampede it then and there.
1t had disturbed all calculations and
thrown the ranks of the other candi.
dates into confusion.
The Brayn forces were making the
most of the phenomenal rise of the
young orator of Nebraska. The ad
journment at midnight had given the
leaders of other candidates an opportu
nifty to rally their forces. and it served
also to give some hours in which some
cool counsel might prevail against the
wave of sentiment which was at high
tide the night before.
Delegate Miller, of Oregon, added
to the list Of nominations the name o,
Sylvester Pennoyer, Of Oregon. The
names of Bland, Bryan, Boies, Black.

deserted Bland for Bryan, which
created q sensation and started thu

ballots Bryan kept gradually gaining
one state after another, until the result
of the fourth ballot showed Bryan IL
the lead with 276, Bland having fallez
to 241. This precipitated another
demonstration which lasted for forty
minutes. Twenty thousand people
yelled themselves hoarse cheering foi
