1892.

1892.
The Republican platform reaffirmed
the doctrine of American protection;
demanded legislation for the protection
of railroad employees, indorsed the
spirit of civil service reform and OPP
posed trusts.
The Democrats denounced federal
control of elections and vehemently
denounced Republican protection as
fraud, a robbery of the great majority
of the American people for the benefit
of few, and declared that the Fed
eral government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff du-
ties, except for purposes of revenue
only--limited to the expenses of the
government, honestly and economic
ally administered; they recognized
trusts as designed to enable capital
to secure more than it's Just share of
the joint product of capital and labor
"a natural consequence of protective
taxes, preventing free competition,
which is the life of honest trade
whose worst evils can be abated by
law: they denounced the Sherman act
and demanded the coinage of both gold
and silver as standard money, with
out discrimination against either met
al or charge for mintage; demanded
repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on state
bank issues, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal and protection of
railway employees.
1896.
The Republicans renewed their al
leglance TO protection and reciprocity;
declared for restoration Of merchant
marine; opposed debasement of the
currency by the free coinage of sill
yer, except by international agreement
and declared that until such agree
ment could be effected the existing
gold standard of the world must be
maintained, keeping all silver and
paper currency at a parity with gold;
expressed sympathy with Cuba; de-
manded the exclusion of illiterates
from foreign immigration, and favor
ed arbitration for settling disputes be-
tween capital and labor.
The Democratic platform of '96.
which was the occasion of a second
convention and the nomination of
gold presidential ticket, recognized
"the money question as paramount to
all others at this time" called atten-
tion to the fact that silver and gold
were named together In the constitu-
tion that the act of '73 demonetIzing
| silver was without the knowledge OF
| approval of the American people, and
| demanded the free and unlimited coin
| age of both silver and gold at the
