The Democratic Platform.

The platform which has been heralded
to the people of these United Ststes by
the dsmocratic party in convention as-
sembl ID, on which it is predicted the
brill ut Bryan will be swept to victory
by tidal wave is as follows:
We, the democrats of the United States,
in national convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance to these great essen
tial principles of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has main
tanned 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 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 consti-
| tuition made the silver dollar the unit OF
value and admitted gold to free coinage,
at ratio measured by the eilver dollar
unit.
We declare that the act Of 1873 de-
monetizing 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; 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; paralysis of indus
tries and impoveriehment OF the people.
We are unalterably opposed to the sin
gle gold standard, which has locked fast
/ the prosperity OF an industrious people
/ in the paralysis of hard times. Gold
monometallism is British policy,
founded upon British greed for gain and
| power, and it's general adoption has
brought other nations into financial ser.
/ vitude to London. It is not only un-
| American, but anti.American, and it can
be fastened upon the United States only
by the sitting Of that indomitable spirit
/ and love of liberty which proclaimed our
political independence in 1776 and won
1t in the war OF the Revolution.
We demand the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of l6
| TO L, WlbHoub WaiblnR iOk tu0 aiu VI Con-
sent OF any other nation. We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall be a
full legal tender, equally with gold, for
all debts, public and private, and we
favor such legislation as will prevent the
decentralization Of any kind of legal
tender money by private contract.
We are opposed to the policy and practice
ofsurrendering to holders of obligations OF
the United states any option reserved by
law to the government of redeeming such
obligations in either silver coin or gold
coin.
We are opposed to the issuing Of
interest bearing bonds Of the United
States in time Of peace, and condemn
traficing with banking syndioates which,
in exchange for bonds at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the federal
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1896-08-14

treasury with gold to maintain policy
OF gold monometallism.
Congress alone has power to coin and
issue money and President Jackson
declared that this power could not be
delegated to corporations or individuals.
We therefore demand that the power
to issue notes be taken from the banks
and that all paper shall be issued direct
ly by the treasury department. We
hold that tariff duties should be levied
solely for the purpose of revenue and
that taxation should be limited by
the needs OF the government, honestly
and economically administered. We
denounce as disturbing to business
the republican threat to restore the Nc
Kinley Law, which has twice been con-
demned by the people in national
elections, and which, enacted under the
false plea of protection to home industry,
proved prolific breeder of trusts and
monopolies, enriching the few at the ex.
pense of the many, restricted trade and
deprived the producers of the great Amer
ican 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 ex-
cept such as are necessary to make the
| deficit in revenue, caused by the ad.
verse decision of the supreme court
as to the income tax.
There would have been no deficit in
the federal revenue during the last two
years but for the annulment by the
supreme court of the income tax law,
placed upon the statute books by a demo.
hn oh 10
income tax, which the supreme court dis
covered in the constitution after it had
laid hidden for hundred years, must be
removed, to the end that accumulated
wealth may be made to bear its just share
of the burden of the government. We,
therefore, favor an amendment TO the
federal constitution that will permit the
levy OF an income tax. We hold that the
efficient way of protecting American
labor is to prevent the importation OF
foreign pauper labor to compete with the
home market, and that the value OF the
home market to our American farmers
and artisans is greatly reduced by q
vicious monetary system which depresseH
the prices of their product below the cost
of production, and thus deprives them of
! the means of satisfying their needs. We
denounce the prohigate waste of the
money wrupg from the people by oppres-
sive taxation and lavish appropriations
of recent republican congresses, which
have kept taxes high, while the laborer
that pays them is unemployed, and pro-
ducts of the people are depressed in price
until they no longer repay the cost Of
production. We demand return to that
simplicity and economy which best BELTS
democratic government, and a reduc.
ton in the number of useless offices, the
salaries of which drain the substance Of
the people. Oonfding in the justice of
our cause and the necessity of its success
at the polls, we submit the foregoing
! declaration of principles and purposes to
the considerate judgment Of the American
people. We invite the support of all
citizens who approve them and who de-
sire TO have them made effective through
legislation for the relief of the people
and the restoration OF the country's
prosperity.
