Chicago Platform Renmrmcd.
We reafnm and endorse the principles
OF the national Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896 and we re-
iterate the demand OF that platform for
.t.l l,xs
the American peopl" for themselves.
which shall restore and maintain IA hi
metallic price level, and as part OF such
system the immediate restoration of tn"
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present LEGAL ratio of Ii to |
without waiting for the aid OF consent oi
any other nation.
We denouncc the currency bill enacted
forward In the Republican policy which
aims to dlsorcdit the rcign right Of
the national government to issue all
money. whether coin or paper, and TO be-
stow upon national banks the power to
issue and control the volume of paper
money Tor their own benefit. 4 pcrma-
ncnt national bank currency, secured by
the government bonds. must have a per
mancnt debt to rest upon and If the
bank currency Is to increase with the
population ana business the debt must
also increase. The Republican currency
scheme Is therefore a scheme for faStrn-
inE upon the taxpayers a perpetual and
growing debt for the benefit of the banks.
We are opposed to this private corporation
paper circulated as money. but without
legal tender qualities. ana demand tho
retirement of the national bank notes as
fast as this government paper and silver
certificates can be substituted for them.
We favor an amendment to the federal
constitution providing FOR the election OF
United states senators by direct vote
of the people, and We favor direct lcEis-
lHtiOn wherever practicable.
We are opposed to government by In
junction, We donuuuc" tn" blacklist and
favor arbitration as means OF settling
disputes between corporations and their
.mplOyos.
