In this issue of the MEssEN-
GER we present to the readers of
the paper the ticket and plat
form as adopted by the Demo
Gratis of Custer county, at their
convention in Challis on the Oath
and Goth of Sept, 1898, we ask a
careful perusal of the platform,
as we believe it advocates the
true principles of the party. We
shall from time to time, before
the election, endeavor to present
the issues of the party, both in
the State and county. 1t was not
decided until too late to do any
writing, that we would enter into
a newspaper canvas of the coun-
ty, hence we hope we will be ex-
cused for not having more mat

section z, Article 10 of the Con-
stitution of the State of Idaho.
We hold that the tariff duties
should be levied for the purposes
OF revenue, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country, and not
to discriminate between class or
section, and that taxation should
be limited by the needs of the
Government.
We favor an income tax, and
declare that it is the duty of
Congress to use all the Constitu
tlonal powers to the end that
wealth may bear its due propor-
ton of the expenses of the Gov
eminent.
And we further favor that the
amendment should be made to
our United States Constitution
wherein the President. the Vice
President, and the United States
Senators be elected by the direct
vote tne people.
Confding 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
people of Custer county. We in
vlte 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 restora-
ton OF the country's prosperity.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the Democrats of Custer
county in County Convention
assembled, do re-affirm our al
legience to those great essential
principles of justice and liberty
upon which our institutions are
founded and which the Demo
cratic party have advocated from
Jefferson's time to our own-free-
dom of speech, freedom of press,
freedom of conscience, the pres
ervation 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 9th
ers at this time, we invite atten-
ton to the facts 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 Constitution
made the silver dollar the none
tary unit and admitted gold to
free coinage at ratio based up
on the silver dollar as aunt.
We declare that the Act of
1873, demonetizing silver with
out the knowledge of the Ameri-
can people, has resulted in the
appreciation of gold and cor
responding fall in the prices
of commodities produced by the
people; heavy increase in the
burden of taxation and of all
debts, public and private; the en-
richment of the money lending
class at home and abroad; the
prostration of industry and inn
poverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to
recommendation, which has lock-
ed fast the prosperity of an in
dustrial people in PARALYSIS of
hard times.
We demand the free and un
limited coinage of both silver
and gold at the present legal |
ratio OF 16 to 1, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any 9TH |
err nation.
We demand that the standard
silver dollar shall be full legal
tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public and private, and.we
favor such legislation as will
prevent for the future the de-
monetization of any kind of legal
tender money by private contract.
we are opposed to the policy
and practice of surrendering to
she holders of the obligations of
'he United States the option re-
served by law to the government
II redeeming such obligations in
either silver coin or gold coin.
We hold the most efficient way
# protecting the American labor
s to prevent the importation of
oreign pauper labor to compete
n the home market, and that the
'alue of the home market to our
American farmers and artisans is
'reatly reduced by q vicious
nonetary system which depress-
S the prices of their products
Glow. the cost of production, and
bus deprives them of the means L
