We renew our allegiance to the principles
Of the gold standard and declare our con-
idence in the wisdom OF the ieg ghinh + y6e
parity Of all our money and the stability
of our currency on a gold basis mas neen
secured. We recognize that interest rates
are a potent factor in production and bus-
mess activity, and for the purpose OF fur-
Their equalizing and of further lowering
the rates OF interest we favor Such none
tary legislation as will enable the varying
needs Of the, season and of all sections to
be promptly met in order that trade may oe
evenly sustained, labor steadily employed
and enlarged. The volume Of
money in circulation was never so great
per capita as it is today.
We declare our steadfast opposition to
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
No measure to that end could be consid-
cred without the support Of the leading
commercial countries of the world. How
ever firmly republican legislation may seem
to have secured the country against the
peril OF base and discredited currency, the
election of a democratic president could
not fail to impair the country's credit and
TO bring once more into question the inten-
ton Of the American people to maintain
moneys circulation. The democratic
party must be convinced that the American
people will never tolerate the Chicago plat
form. s.gg IL n
THE TRUST QUESTION.
We recognize the necessity and proprie-
meet new business conditions and espe~J
cially to extend our rapidly increasing for
eign trade, but we condemn all conspira-
cies and combinations intended to restrict
business to create monopolies, to limit
production or to control prices and favor
such legislation as will efectually restrain
and prevent all such abuses, protect and
promote competition and secure the rights
Of producers, laborers and all who are en-
gagged in industry and m
THE POLICY OF PROTECTION. IT,:
We renew our faith in the policy of
protection to American labor. In that
policy our Industries have been established,
diversified and maintained. BY protecting
the home market the competition has been
stimulated and production cheapened. OPP
portunity to the inventive genius of our
people has been secured and wage in every
department Of labor maintained at high
rates, higher now than ever before, always
