The substance Of the general plat
form which was adopted without de

The Democracy OF he State q
South Carolina by t cir duly coaseiru
ted represelt ati7es hereby reneS,
their pledge OF fidelity to the funda-
mental principles OF Jefersonian De
mocracy as heretofore repeatedly an
nounced in the State and national
D:uocratic platform. We believ
vhat the legislative, ex Gu I've a;:d ju
dic;a al departments Of the govern ms. t
:hould be forev~r sepsrats ano o:s
tinca from each other, without tte
right OF any cne to uSurp or encrrach
upon the rights Of the other. We be-
lieve that honessy in the public ser
vice and ecoromy in expenditure are
essential to good governmsn /; no tsx
should be levied or tariffs imposed
upon the people beyond the ac0usl
necessities Of government eco0omi
cally administered. We, therefore,
urge such revision Of existing tariffs
That manufacturers shall not obtain
higher prices for their products at
oone than they csn get for such pro
ducts abr oao. Il is absolutely essen.
tial to the material interests Of the
people snd to the development OF the
natural resources of the country that
there shall bs no unjust restriction
upon healthy mpetiJion. We there
fore demand the rigid enforcement OF
all lavs on this subject.
The rights Of labor and capital
are Identical; they are each ensitl d
to protection under the law. Evi.
d-nces exist in other parts OF the
country Of growing hostility be
tween these two great forces, and we
believe that such situation should be
amelloratsd. 7"
