The Platiorn of the Democratic
Party.
We, the delegates of the Demo
cralic party of the United Slates,
in national convention assembled,
do here declare the administra
tion of the Federal Government
to be in urgent need of immediate
reform, do hereby enjoin upon
the nominees of this convention,
and of the Democratic party in
each State, a zealous eil'ort and
co-operation to this end, and do
hereby appeal to our fellow-citi
zens of every form of political
conviction to undertake with us
this first and most pressing patri
otic duty. For the Democracy ol
the whole country we do here re
affirm our faith in the permanen
cy of the Federal Union, and our
devotion to the constitution ofthe
United States with its amend
ments universally accepted as a
final settlement of the controyer
versies that engendered civil war,
and do here record our steadfast
confidence in the perpetuity of
Republican self government, in
absolute acquiescence in the will
of the majority. The vital prin
ciple of Republics is in the supre
macy of ihe civil over the military
authority ; in the total separa
tion of church and State for the
sake, alike of civil and religious
freedom; in the equality of all
citizens before just laws of their
own enactment; in the liberty of
individual conduot unvex p d by
sumptuary laws ; in the faithful
education ot the rising genera
tion, that they may preserve, en
joy and Transmit these best con
ditions of buwaa happiness and
hope. We behold the noblest

cued Irora the danger of a cor
rupt centralism, which, after in
flicting upon ten States the repac
ity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has
honey combed the officers of the
Federal Government itself with
incapacity, waste and fraud, in
fected Stales and municipalities
with the contagion of misrule, and
locked fast the prosperity of an
industrious people in the paralj’-
sis of hard t imes. Reform is nec
essary to establish
A SOUND CimuESCT,
restore the public credit and
maintain the national honor. We
denounce the failure for all these
eleven years to make good the
promise of the legal tender notes,
which are a changing standard of
value in the hands of the people,
and the non payment of which is
a disregard of the plighted faith
of the nation. We denounce Ihe
improvidence which in eleven
years of peace has taken from the
people in Federa4 taxes thirteen
times the whole amount of the
legal notes and squandered four
times this snm in useless expen
ses, without accumulating any re
serve for their redemption, we de
nounce the financial imbecility
and immorality of that party
which, dining eleven years of
peace, hts made no advances to
words resumption—that, instead,
has obstructed resum pi ion by
wasting our resources and ex
hausting all our ffnrplns income,
and while annually professing to
intend a speedy return to specie
payments, has annually enacted
fresh hindrances thereto. As such
a hindrance, we denounce the re
sumption clause of the .act of
1875, and we here demand its re
peal. We demand a judicious
system of preparation by public
economies, by official retrench
ments, and by wise finance,which
shall enable the nation to assure
the whole world of its perfect
ability and perfect readiness to
meet any of i!s promises at the
call of the creditor entitled to
credit. We believe such a system,
well devised, and, above all, en
trusted to competent hands for
execution, creating at no time an
artificial scarcity of currency, and
at no time alarming the public
mind into a withdrawal of that
vaster machinery of credit by
which ninety five per cent, of all
business transactions are perform
ed. A system open, public and
inspiring general confidence
would, from the day of its adop
tion, bring healing on its wings
to all our harassed industries and
set in motion the wheels of com
merce, manufactures and the
mechanical arts, restore employ
ment to labor, and renew in all
its natnral sources the prosperity
of the people from necessary re
forms in the sum and mode ofFed
eyal taxation, to the end that cap
ital be set free from distrust and
labor lightly burdened. We de
nounce the present tariff on near
ly four thousand articles as a mas
terpiece of injustice, inequality
and false pretence. It yields a
dwindling, not a yearly thing
revenue. It has impoverished
many industries to subsidize a
few. It prohibits imports that
might purchase the products of
American labor. It has degrad
ed American commerce from the
first to the inferior rank upon the
high seas. It has cut down the
scaleso/ American manufacturers
at home and abroad, and deplet
ed the returns of American agri
icoHure, an industry followed by
half our people. J| co.-ts the peo
pie five times more ih, n it pro
duces t the treasury- it obstructs
the process of production and
wastes the fruits of labor. It pro
motes fraud and fosters smuggling
—enrifches dishonest officials and
bankrupts honest merchants. We
demand that all custom house
taxatup shall be only for revenue.
Refold is necessary in
TUB SCALE Iff PUBLIC EXPENSES,
Federal, State and municipal.
Our Federal taxation has swollen
Irom tixty millions in gold in
1860 to four hundred and fifty
millions in currency in 1870 Our
aggregate taxation, from one hun
dred and eighty-four millions in
1860 t© seven hundred and thirty
millions in currency in 1870; or,
in one'decade,froin less than five
doilarg per head to more than
eighteen dollars per head. Since
the pecce the people has pain to
the f*s gatherers more than
thiieejkjie sum of the national
debt, pid •more than twice that
sun* ft ' tbeJFederal Government
alone. IWe d&rnand a vigorous
IrngaHty sn every., department,
from e ery officer in the govern
meet. Reform is necessary to
put a stop to the profligate waste
of pubbe lands, and their diver
sion from actual settlers by the
party i power, which has' squan
dered twenty millions of acres
on railroads alone, and, out ol
more titan thrice that aggregate,
has disposed of less than a sixth
directlfko the tillers of the soil.
FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP AND THK COOLIE
QfrSTION.
Reform is necessary to correct
the omissions of the Republican
Congress and the errors of our
treaties and our diplomacy, which
have stripped our fellow-citizens
of foreign birth, but of kindred
races of the right of re-crossing
the Atlantic under the shield of
American citizenship, and have
exposed our brethren of the Pacif
ic coast to the incursion of a race
not sprung from the same great
parent stock, and in fact, now by
law denied citizenship through
naturalization as being neither
accustomed to the tradrtious of a
progressive civilization, nor exer
cised in liberty under equal laws.
We denounce the policy which
thus discards the liberty loving
German and tolerates the revival
ot the coolie trade in Mongolian
women, imported for immoral
purposes, and Mongolian men,
hired to perform servile labor con
tracts; and demand such modifi
cation of the treaty with the Chi
nese Empire, or such legislation
by Congress within a constitution
al limitation, as shall prevent
further importation or immigra
tion of the Mongolian race. Re
form is necessary and can never
he effected but by making it the
controlling issue of the elections,
lifting it above the false issues
with w hich the office bolding class
and the party in power seek to
smother it—the false issue with
which they would enkindle secta
rian strife in respect to public
schools, the establishment and
support of which belong exclu
sively to the several states, and
which the Democratic parly has
cherished from their foundation,
and are resolved to maintain wit b
out partiality oar preterenco for
any class, sect or creed, and, with
out contributing from the treas
ury to any-*—the false issue by
wtiicb they seek to light anew the
dying embers ot sectional bate

we civil service.
Reform is necesary ia the civil
i service. Experience proves that
efficient and economical conduct
|Of the government business is not
possible if its civil service be
subject to change at every elec
tion—be a prize fought for at the
ballot-box—be a brief reward for
party zeal, instead of posts of hon
or, assigned for proved competen
cy, and held for fidelity in public
employ; that the dispensing of
should neither be a tax
upon the time of all our public
men uor the instruments of their
ambition. Here, again, profess
ions falsified in performance, at
test that the party in power can
work out no practical and saluta
ry re.orm. Reform is necessary
even more, in higher grades of
the public service—the Pres
ident, Vice President, Judges,
Senators, Representatives, Cabi
net These, and all
others in authority are tbe peo
ple’s servants. Their offices are
not private perquisites. They are
public trusts. When the annals
of this Republic show the disgrace
land censure of a Vice President,
a late Speaker of the House of
Representatives marketing his
ruling as a presiding officer—three
Senators profiting secretly by
their votes as law makers—the
chairmen of leading committees
■of the late House of Representa
tives exposed in jobbery—a late
Secretary of the Treasury forcing
ballauces in the public accounts
—a late Attorney General misap
propriating the public lunds—a
Secretary of the Navy enriched or
enriching his friends by percent
ages levied off of the profits ol
contractors with his department
—an ambassador to England cen
sured in a dishonorable specula
tion—The President’s private sec
retary barely escaping conviction
on trial for guilty complicity in
frauds on the revenue—a Secre
tary of War impeached For high
crimes and confessed misdemean
oas—the demonstration is com
plete that the first step in reform
must be the people’s choice of
honest men from another party,
lest the disease of one political
organization infect the body poli
tic, and thereby, making no
change of men or party, we can
get no change of measure and no
reform. All these abuses, wrongs
and crimes are the product of six
teen years ascendancy of the Re
publicans themselves, but their
reformers are voted down in con
vension and displaced from the
Cabinet. The party's mass of
honest voters is powerless to re
sist the eighty thousand office
holders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only he had by a
peaceful civil revolution. We de
mand a change of system,a change
of administration, a change ol
parties that we may have a change
of members and of men.
When is iron like a bank note ?
When it’s forged. When is iron
like a stoue thrown into the air ?
When it’s oast. When is it like a
public house? When it's a bar.
When would it do to make sau
sages of? When it’s pig-iron,
-
An American philosopher de
scribed a bald-head man as one
who combs his head with a towel.
We would like to have the
handling of that calumniator who
isaid the ladies are the very re
verse of their mirrors—-l lie latter
reflecting without talking, the
former talking without reflecting.
