A MEETING.
A troth and a grief and a blessing
Disguished them and came this way,
And one was w promise, and one was a doubt,
And one was a rainy day.
And they met betimes with this maiden,
And the promise it spake and lied,
And the doubt it gibbered and hugged itself,
And the rainy day—she died.
—James Whit-comb Riley.
THE FREE COINAGE PLATFORM.
Declaration of Principles on Finance and for Better-
ment of the General Government Adopted by the
Majority of the Democratic National Convention.
We, the Democrats of the United States, in
national convention assembled, do reaffirm
our allegiance to those essential principles of
Justice and liberty upon which our institu-
tions are founded, and which the Democratic
party has advocated from Jefferson’s time to
our own, freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom of conscience, the preserva-
tion of personal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law and the faithful ob-
servance of constitutional limitations.
FOR THE INTEGRITY OF GOVERNMENT.
During all these years the Democratic
party has resisted the tendency of selfish in-
terests to the centralization of governmental
power and steadfastly maintained the in-
tegrity of the dual scheme of government es-
tablished by the founders of this republic of
republics. Under its guidance the great
principle of local self-government has found
its best expression in the maintenance of the
rights of the States and in its assertion of the
neccessity of confining the general govern-
ment to the exercise of the powers granted
by the constitution of the United States.
THE FINANCIAL DECLARATION.
Recognizing that the money question is
paramount to all others at this time, we in-
“vite attention to the fact that the federal con-
stitution names silver and gold together as
the money metals of the United States, and
that the first coinage law passed by Congress
under the constitution, made the silver dol-
lar the monetary unit and admitted gold to
free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, demonetiz-
ing silver without the knowledge or ap-
proval of the American people, has resulted
in the appreciation of gold and a correspond-
ing fall in the prices of commodities produced
by the people ; a heavy increase in the bur-
den of taxation and of all debts, public and
private ; the enrichment of the money-lend-
ing class at home and abroad ; the prostra-
tion of industry and impoverishment of the 4;
people. =
GOLD MONOMETALLISM A BRITISH POLICY.
We are unalterably opposed to the mono-
metallism which has locked fast the pros-
perity of an industrial people in the poms
of hard times. Gold monometallism is a Brit.
ish policy, and its adoption has brought
other nations into financial servitude to Lon-
don. Itisnot only unAmerican but anti-A mer-
ican, and it can be fastened on the United
States only by the stifling of that spirit and
love of liberty which proclaimed our political
independence in 1776 and won it in the war
of the revolution.
INDEPENDENT FREE COINAGE DEMANDED.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
Ea
duction in the number of useless offices, the
salaries of which drain the substance of the
people.
FEDERAL INTERFERENCE DENOUNCED.
We denounce arbitrary interference by fed-
eral authorities in local affairs asa violation
of the constitution of the United States and a
crime against free institutions, and we espec-
ially object to government by injunction as a
new and highly dangerous form of oppression,
by which federal judges, in contempt of the
laws of the states and rights of citizens, be-
come at once legislators, judges and execu-
tioners ; and we approve the bill passed at
the lastsession of the United States senate
and now pending in the House, relative to
contempts in federal courts and providing for
trials by jury in certain cases of contempt.
NO DISCRIMINATION TO DEBTORS.
No discrimination should be indulged by
the government of the United States in favor
of any of its debtors. We approve of the re-
fusal of the Fifty-third congress to pass the
Pacific railroad functions bill, and denounce
the effort of the present Republican congress
to enact a similar measure.
JUST PENSIONS APPROVED.
Recognizing the just claims of deserving
Union soldiers, we heartily indorse the rule
of the present commissioner of pensions that
no names shall be arbitrarily dropped from
the pension roll, and the fact of enlistment
and service should be deemed conclusive evi-
dence against disease or disability before en-
listment.
EARLY ADMISSION OF ALL TERRITORIES
FAVORED.
We favor the admission of the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as
states, and we favor the early admission of
all the territories that have the necessary
population and resources to entitle them to
statehood, and while they remain territories
we hold that the officials appointed to admin-
ister the government of any territory, to-
gether with the District of Columbia and
Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the
territory or district in which their duties are
to be performed. The Democratic party be
lieves in home rule, and that all public lands
of the United States should be appropriated
to the establishment of free homes for Ameri-
can citizens.
We recommend that the territory of Alaska
be granted a delegate in congress, and that
the. general land and timber laws of the
United States be extended to said territory.
SYMPATHY EXTENDED TO CUBAN IESUR-
GENTS,
We extend our sympathy to the people of
Cuba in their heroic struggle for liberty and
independence.
We are opposed to life tenure in the public
service. We favor appointments based upon
merits, fixed terms of office, and such admin-
istration of the civil service laws as will af-
ford equal opportunities to all citizens of as-
certained fitness.
AGAINST THIRD TERM PRESIDENTS.
We declare it to be the unwritten law of
his ic, established by custom and us-
age of 100 years, and sanctioned by the ex-
amples of the greatest and wisest of those
who founded and have maintained our gov-
ernment, that no man should be eligible for
a third term of the presidential office.
GOVERNMENT CARE OF THE WATERWAYS.
The federal government should care for
and improve the Mississippi river and other
great waterways of the republic, so as to se-
cure for the interior states casy and cheap
transportation to tide-water. When any
waterway of the republic is of sufficient im-
portance to demand aid of the government,
such aid should be extended upon a definite
plan of the continuous work until permanent
of both gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation. We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall be a full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts
public and private, and we favor such legisla-
tion as will prevent for the future the
demonctization of any kind of legal tender
money by private contract.
BONDS AND BANK NOTES OPPOSED.
improvement is secured.
DEMOCRACY’S APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Confiding. in the justice of our cause and
the necessity of its success at the polls, we
submit the foregoing declaration of principles
and purposes to the considerate judgment’ of
the American people. We invite the support
of all citizens who approve them, and who
desire to have them made effective through
legislation for the relief of the people and the
We are opposed to the issuing of interest-
bearing bonds of the United States in time |
of peace, and condemn the trafficking with |
banking syndicates which, in exchange for |
bonds and at an enormous profit to them- |
selves. supply the federal treasury with gold
to maintain the policy of gold monometallism.
Congress alone has the power to coin and
issue money, and President Jackson declared
that this power could not be delegated to cor-
porations or individuals. We therefore de-
mand that the power to issue notes to circu-
late as money be taken from the national
banks, and that all paper money shall be is-
sued directly by the treasury department,
and be redeemable in coin and receivable for
all debts, public and private.
‘TARIFF FOR REVENUE EXCLUSIVELY.
“We hold that tariff duties should be levied
for purposes of revenue, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally throughout the
country, and not discriminate between class
or scetion, and that taxation should be limited
by the needs of the government honestly and
economically administered. We denounce as
disturbing to business the Republican threat
to restore the McKinley law, which has been
twice condemned by the people in national
elections, and which, enacted under the false
plea of protection to home industry, proved a
prolific breeder of trusts and monopolics, en-
riched the few at the expense of the many,
restricted trade and deprived the producers
of the great American staples, of access to
their natural markets. Until the money
question is settled, we are opposed to any
agitation for further changes in our tariff’
laws, except such as are necessary to meet the
deficit in revenue caused by the adverse deci-
sion of the supreme court on the income tax.
DUTIES OF CONGRESS REGARDING INCOME
TAX.
But for this decision by the supreme court
there would be no deficit in the revenue
under the law passed by a Democratic Con-
gress in striet pursuance of the uniform deci-
sions of that court for nearly 100 years, that
court having in that decision sustained con-
stitutional objections to its enactment which
had previously been over-ruled by the ablest
Judges who have ever sat on that bench. We
declare that it is the duty of Congress to use
all the constitutional power which remains
after that decision, or which may come from
ifs reversal by the court as it may hereafter
be constituted, so that the burdens of tax-
ation may be equally and impartially laid to
the end that wealth may bear its due propor-
tion of the expenses of the government.
EFFICIENT PROTECTION “FOR AMERICAN
LABOR.
We hold that the most efficient way to
protect American labor is to prevent the im-
portation of foreign pauper labor to compete
with it in the home market, and that the
value of the home market to our American
farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a
vicious monetary system, which depresses
the prices of their products below the cost of
production, and thus deprives them of the
means of purchasing the products of our
home manufacturers.
STRICTER CONTROL OF RAILROADS DEMAND-
ED.
The absorption of wealth by the few, the
consolidation of our leading railroad systems
and the formation of trusts and pools require
a stricter control by the federal government
of those arteries of commerce. We demand
- the enlargement of the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission, and such restric-
tions and guarantecs in the control of rail-
roads as will protect the people from robbery
and oppression.
GREATER ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT NEED-
ED.
We denounce the profligate waste of money
wrung from the people by oppressive taxa-
tion and the lavish appropriations of recent
_ Republican congresses, which have kept tax-
es high while the labor that pays them is un-
employed and the products of the people’s
toil are depressed in price till they no longer
repay the cost of production. We demand a
return to that simplicity and economy which
benefits a democratic government and a re- |
restoration of the country’s prosperity.

' THE FARMERS AND PROSPERITY.
RANDALL, W. VA.
Major McKinley has just one song which
he sings to the crowds Mark Hanna sends
him, and it goes about like this : “What
we want is a high protective tariff, which
will set all the factories and mills to going,
and induce to build new plants and thus
give employment to all working people at
remunerative wages. This will create a
demand for the farmers’ products at en-
hanced prices. Then all will go as smooth-
ly as a duck swimming on water.’
This reminds me of a county school su- !
perintendent we once had in this county.
Every school -he visited he would insist
upon all the scholars becoming teachers.
In one school there was a boy that always
spoke his mind. This boy said :— “That is
all very nice, professor, but if we all be-
come teachers I want to know where you
are going to get scholars for us to teach.’
Then, major, if you are going to startall
the factories and build a lot more, and
start them all on full time, I want to know
where you are going to find people to buy
all those goods. Do you not know, major,
that the manufactures have twice in the
last three years started up all along the
line and made every effort to bring about
prosperity, but in 3 months time they had
glutted the market, and some were com-
pelled to close down, and others run on
half time?
° But, the major answers: ‘Oh!
haven’t got a high protective tariff.”
Well, major, you may pile the tariff
mountain high, but so long as the farmers
cannot make both ends meet there can be
no prosperity in this country. The pres-
ent gold standard has reduced the price of
their products, and so the only place to
start prosperity is with the farmers. Raise
the price of his products so that he can
have a living profit, and then he can af-
ford to buy the products of the manufac-
turer, and this can be done only by mak-
ing more money, and to do this we must
have free silver.

DAVID WIEDMAN.
A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
BEAVER FALLS, PA.
By your permission I will present’ what
I consider a common sense view of the
money problem. We start out by stating
that there is not more than half enough
money in the United States to supply the
demands of the people. Statistics show
that there is only about $23 per capita
when there should be at least $45 per
capita. Where is the money to come from ?
O, says one, from a high protective tariff,
Suppose that such a tariff as McKinley
Sarps. on should go into full operation. In
two or three years we would then be de-
pendent on ‘the tax derived from im-
ported goods for more money. But sup-
pose that little or no goods were shipped
to this country how then? But conceding
that the usual amount of goods would be
imported, the little amount of money de-
rived from such source when applied to the
expense of the government could no more
enlarge the volume of money so as to bene-
fit the whole people than the little moun-
tain stream could swell the volume of wa-.
ter in a great river.
Suppose we have a law authorizing the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1. That would insure coin-
ing into money the vast amount of silver
we have now in the United States. And,
of course, it would naturally seek invest-
interest. In that way the money would go
into circulation and spread all over this
land, and times would be good and money
plenty.
Governor Hastings, in his speech at Can-
ton, defied Bryan or anyone else to tell
how the free coinage of silver could raise
the wages of the laboring man. When
there is plenty of money in circulation
labor will be in demand at lucrative prices.
—The governor says that passing from a
gold standard to a silver standard will pre-
cipitate an awful panic, worse than the
great panic of ’83, when silver was demon-
etized. No one proposes to pass from a
gold standard to a ‘‘silver basis.” But
what we do propose to do is to push silver
up on a plane with gold, where the two
metals will be of equal purchasing power,
and thereby establish a “‘double standard.”

HORSE AND HORSE.
PITTSBURG, PA.
If you had two horses of your own and
and had to have a team to work, would it
be policy for you to turn one horse loose to
starve and mortgage your property for the
use of an other horse to make a team ? Your
own dun horse is not strong for the load
—else why should he give out when you
need him most? Why do we hire Roths-
child’s horse at the expense of the people
to pull up one hill only to call for him
again at the next ?—Our own white horse
will pull up as much as Rothschild’s horse.
He—the silver horse—is on hand when you
want him (and we want him all the time
if we but knew it). He will not balk when
the gold power raises its jeweled finger and
says: ‘‘Stop, we want a panic !”’ The peo-
ple will not have to stop business to wait
for our neighbors’ dun horse to come and
help get the country out of the hole and
the pay them their own price for the job.
Let us hitch in the silver horse, get out of
the rut and then we will stay out.
G.I A
Why He Will Vote for Bryan.
A Tioga county Republican, who seems
to understand what he is talking about
gives, among others, the following reasons
why he intends to vote for BRYAN.
Because every Republican platform,
State or National, which has ever made any
declaration on the money question since I
was a voter, has declared for free silver.
Because I voted for Gartield ; he was for
free silver and was not a repudiator.
cause I voted for Blaine; he was for free
silver, and instead of being a repudiator, he
was the best and brightest and most patri-
otic American in public life in my time and
if there had been any repudiation or nation-
al dishonor in free silver, Blaine would
have been the first to discover it and warn-
ed us against it. I voted for Harrison, he
was elected on a platform which denounced
Grover Cleveland for debasing and demon-
etizing silver and I do not believe the men
who have been the candidates and states-
men of the Republican party ever advocat-
ed free silver, because they were too thick-
headed to see that it meant repudiation
until Grover Cleveland told them so. I
will not by my vote say thatthe Blaines,
the Logans or the Garfield’s ever advocated
a doctrine that would harm in the slightest
degree even the humblest American. On
the contrary these men had more brains,
more statesmanship and more patriotism in
their little fingers, than there is in the
plutocrats who controlled the St. Louis
convention, and are now steering the Re-
Po ois party along the same path that
ed Grover Cleveland to a political grave
yard. :
Because every man and every newspaper
that tried to harm the pensioner has gone
over to McKinley. Because like Bill Sin-
gerly and Aleck McClure whé advocated
free trade and declared the tariff a crime
and protection a frand are supporting Mec-
Kinley and these men do not go into pol-
itics for their health and contribute their
money for a mere sentiment.

WHY GOLD FAVORS THE
Its Value is Constantly Appreciating.—To the Det-
{ riment of the Producer.—Small Farmers of Eng-
land Wiped Out.—That Must be the Final Result
Here.—What the True Interests of the Republic
Demand.
RICH.
Degrees of wealth cannot be regulated by
law. Wealth must be left, as nature in-
tended it, as the reward of industry and
frugality. But there certainly should; be
no laws especially favoring "the wealthy
classes. Such a law, however, most cer-
tainly exists in the act of 1873 establishing
thesingle gold standard. It favors the
rich to the detriment of the producing
classes because it fastens upon us a grow-
ing or appreciating measure of values,
Every successive nation which adopts the
gold standard increases the world’s demand
for that metal and by so much enhances its
relative value. Every year, as the com-
merce of the world increases, the value of
gold augments. The dollar is ever becom-
ing larger and larger. The rich find it
greatly to their advantage, but it hears
heavily upon the industrial classes.
Enterprise requires that men should
borrow. No one can engage actively in
any business by which employment is giv-
en to others and the community benefited
! without being a borrower. Every success-
ful man hus at one time been largely in
debt. The gold standard discriminates
against this useful class—the active, enter-
' prising, producing class—the backbone of
the nation. It does this because, in addi-
tion to the interest paid, under an appre-
ciating standard the debt is ever growing
{ larger. An advantage is thus by law plac-
! ed in the hands of the money lenders and
| the great financiers, to the detriment of all
i other classes.
i Under this advantage the rich grow richer
! with wonderful rapidity and the active,
| producing classes, of course, have to stand
| the burden. It was under the operation of
; the gold standard in England that the class
"of small farmers was entirely wiped out
and the lands came into the possession: of a
class of wealthy capitalist holders, the for-
| mer owners becoming mere tenants on the
{ lands they once were the proprietors of.
In the same way people in this country
{ will increasingly become tenants and so
depart the farther from the ideal condition
of a republic.
{ Witha stable money standard, or, if if
must vary at all, a depreciating rather than
“an appreciating one, this advantage to
~ wealth ceases to exist, and the ninety and
nine average citizens prosper far more in
the aggregate than the one does under the
present system.
The true interests of the republic de-
mands not that wealth be equalized, but
that all be given a more equal chance.
This the repeal of the act of 1873 and the
‘ re-enactment of the coinage laws as they
existed prior to that year will very greatly
accomplish.
To illustrate the operation of the appre-
ciating standard and the advantage it works
to the money lender, suppose ten years ago
twomen to own $500 apiece. The one
lends his money, the other invests in prop-
erty. The latter buys a house and lot for
$1,000, pays down the $500 he owns and
borrows the remainder from his friend up-
|
i
on a mortgage on his property. The mon- |
ey standard doubles and the $500 debt be- |
comes as large as $1,000 was at the time |
the loan was made. When it falls due, it
takes the entire property to pay the debt.
The money lender then has everything, the
borrower nothing. This is an experience
which every day some one suffers. Every
mortgage to-day requires the entire proper-
ty to satisfy it, because the debt has dou-
bled, not in the number of the dollars, but
in the relative value of each dollar.
|
|
|
|
If the money standard would remain |
stationary where it is, it would not be so i
bad, but we have no guarantee whatever
that it will not again double, and nothing
will tend so much to give it another up-
ward hoost as the success of the gold ticket |
at the polls next month. We cannot see
how it is possible for gold not to further |
appreciate if its advocates triumph. If it
does, it is inevitable that the hard times
will be prolonged and intensified, failures
in business will multiply, labor will in-
