1--WE are opposed TO reputation In any
form or under any pretense.
1--WE believe In hard money-the money
of the constitution-and are unalterably
opposed to irredeemable paper currency.
eff any further enunciation of democrat
ic policy upon the financial question is re-
garded necessary, in view of eXistin g
monetary conditions, then 1t Is suggested
that simple declaration in favor of the
general principles of international bime tall
ism furnishes common ground upon
which all can stand; for surely, there
could be no objection to a coinage mutually
agreed upon between the leading nations
of the world. =
1.-The criticism is frequently made that
we are only a party of opposition and
without affirmative issues. tits true that
we are not in power, and we do not need
to be reminded of it. But the criticism that
we are without affirma tive issues is not
just. as little reflection will disclose.
81 submit that tariff for revenue Is
just as much of an affirma tive issue a is
a protective tarfn. A strict construction
of the federal constitution is just as much
of an affirmative issue as is loose con-
struction. The policy of electing United
States senators by the people is more of
an affirmative issue than mere opposition
or indifference to ii.
1.-The advocacy of free constitutional
government for all our possessions over
which our flag of right floats is just as
much of an Affirmative issue as is the aG-
vocacy of imperialism, and a hundred
times more in accord with the genius OF
our Institutions.
1.-The democratic doctrine of home rule
for states Is certainly just as much of an
af1rmative issue as the republican opposi-
The prohibition. restriction or regula-
ton OF dangerous corporate combina tons
OF capital presents just as much of an af-
frmative issue as the championship of such
combinations.

Most remedies for the treatment Of ca

applications and many OF them often give
tonporary relief, but ire reason none Of
them ever really cure chronic catarrh IL
because cntarrh Is NOT a local disease and II
can not be cured simply by treating Inc
local symptoms,

cleansed from catarrhal poson by an inter-
nal remedy which nets effectively upon the

the success Of new eatarrh remedy,

drives out OF the SYSTEM through natural
channels, the catarrhal poison, and the
mucous lining at the nose, throat and

stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many OF
