THE DMI 0 CRA 7 ICPLAT¬
FORM.
1 - Resolved, That we, the democrats
©f Georgia, in convention assembled,
reaffirm our devotion to the time-honored
principles of onr historic party. We
|»elieve that the powers delegated by the
people should be strictly construed; that
the autonomy of states and the rights of
local self-government and home rule
should.be[zealously guarded: that no
money should be taken from the people
tinder any pretext for other than public
purposes; that the strictest
should be exercised in all governmental
expenditures, whether local, state or
tional;that legisation shonld be confined
to the legitimate objects of the govern¬
ment ; that public office is a solemn public
trust,
2 • We believe that the same carecau"
tion should be used by the government,
both state and rational, in the expendi
turejof public money asjis usedjby prudent
men in their ow n private affairs •
3. Wefbelieve that the right of taxa
tion was delegated to the government
both state and national, to be used only
for absolute necessities, and any other
use of this power is dishonest and
tyrannical •
4. A surplus revenue in tha treasury
is a glittering prize to be sought after by
political thieves and plunderers.
5. we are uncompromisingly opposed
to the enlargement and cone ntiation of
federal powers; to the usurpation by
central government; of the functions
state; to boundties and subsidies in everj
form; to every species of class legislation
and government partnership with
enterprises; to the whole theory and
practice of patemalisn.
6. we who have within a generation
seen elections opened by the tap of
drum, and the judicial powers of the
state usurped be court irnriial, and a
legislature seized by a fui’iiary clerk,and
the legally elect* <1 i * j 11 u ntatives of Ihe
people turned out of office to make by
force a suhseivient majority, have no
derive t° take any chances on the politi¬
cal future.
7. we consider the government control
of postoffices as necessary and proper,
because the seal of letter, protects the
private affair of the citiz< n from govern¬
mental espionage, but -we prote t except
n the regulation of prices aeainst ex
tending this control over telegraphs and
telephones, and placing in our midst
horde of office holders who will only be
amenable to national laws and may at
any time, by the will of the majority,or,
as often happens in our federal affairs, by
the will of a minority, be turned
spies and informers, white we
governmental ownership of railroads we
endorse our state railroad cammission
lews, and demand that the powers of the
interstate railioad commission be
enlarged so as to provide a “rigid,
est and just control” of railroad
tion.
8. we demand the free and
coinage both silver and gold on a parity
with each other t<> the end that the mon¬
ey of the people shall be suclyn
and quality as was"originally
ted by tiie constitution.
!). we demand that the
10 per cent tax on state bank issues
stii< ken < ut of the national tank law
and when this is done we desire that
uniform system of banking be
for by the legislature cf Georgia, with
flexible expansive state bank
we further demand that tho
in the national bank law against
real es'ate as security for loans shall
stricken there from.
10. we demand that the amount
the circulation medium ire speedily
creased on a sound basis sufficient to
the needs of the country .
11. we demand that congress
pass such laws ns will effectually
tlv dealing in futures of all
and mechanical productions;
stringent system of procedure in
that w ill secure piempt conviction,
imp* sing such penalties as shall
the most perfect compliance with
law.
12. Rt lievii <i in the doctrii.es of
lights to all and special privileges to
we demand
a. '1 liat onr national legislation ska
be ro framed in the futere as to 1
build nj> one industiy at the expt me
another.
b.D'e regard as the most import
issue la-lore the people a reform of tin
present iniquitous tariff and we
a removal of the exiting heavy ta' iff
ficm the lieu sssities of life, that
pool of our land must have.
. w < nidi nnnda just and
able system of graduated tax on
d we believe that the money of
country should he kept as much as
ble iu the hands of the peop'e, and hi
wre demand that national and state reve¬
nue shall l>e limited to the necessary
j>ense of the government
and honestly administered.
14. We demand retrench and reform
in f ke expenditure of national revenues
and especially a correction of the present
pension system which rests like a mam¬
moth war tax on our section of the un¬
ion.
15. We therefore, in a spirit of mutual
concession, offer this, our platform, to
the democracy of Georgia, and pray that
H divine providence may incline our
hearts to wisdom, justice and modera¬
tion.

King of Medicines
Scrofulous Humor — A Cure
“ Almost miraculous
“ Wlicn I was 14 years of age I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
in the form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, and for 11 years i
was an invalid, being confined to my bed
years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap¬
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
“ Early in 1338 1 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, but was confined to my bed most of the
time 1 was there. In July I read a book, ‘ A
Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements
of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I was so im¬
pressed with the success of this medicine
I decided to try it. To my great gratification
the sores soon decreased, and 1 began to feel
1 Ter ar.d in a short time I was up and
out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar¬
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
six bottles, I had become so fully

4o»w Specimens of New England,
ern and Other Provincialisms.
ft matters not a brass farthing or a
red cent (which you will) whether one
wys “grade” or “gradient,” “shunt**
or “switch,” “tinned” or “canned”
lobster. American use prefers one term
English the other, and that is all.
“Railroad” is at most a trifle old fash¬
ioned here and perfectly admissible.
We should write it ourselves without
hesitation when it fitted the sentence
better than “railway.” When we come
to words of the general vocabulary
6uck as “clever,” “guess,” “reckon,”
some of them are New England or
western provincialisms in their own
country, just as “canny” is or lately
was a northern provincialism in Great
Britain. They may be adopted on
either side as part of the general stock.
It is conceivable that a word might be
freely used by British writers without
any sense of local color before it had
ceased to bo provincial in America.
We cannot admit, however, that the
question of Americanism is concluded
showing authority for the word or
phrase in English documents of the
Seventeenth century or earlier. What¬
ever we consciously import from Amer¬
ica in our own time is not the less at
American import here and now because
it was English long ago. Nor are we
the less entitled to import and use it,
if we find it good, because it is re»“y
of American growth. When ok. au¬
thority can be produced we arc able to
answer the historical and grammatical
purists after their own manner, which
oftentimes is convenient. As facts in
the history of the language these things
are always interesting; as guides to
what our language ought to be we can¬
not, for our part, attach any great im
portance to them. As Nineteenth cen¬
tury coinage may be good, so Seven¬
teenth century coinage may be bad.
Both should pi ex ail or be rejected on
their merits, except where usage has
already settled the word in its right ot
citizenship.
Mr. Brander Matthews carries the
wars into our coasts and attacks “Brit¬
icisms” of Britain. He says that Mr.
Bagehot used like” and Sir Charles
Dilke uses “without” as a conjunction
Very well, to that extent Mr. Bagehot
and Sir Charles Dilke stand convicted
of bad English. But we must wholly
decline to be held answerable for them
or to accept either of them as repre¬
senting the standard or even the aver¬
age of English as written in England
Many able men and some great men.
even some great men of letters, kavt
been careless writers.
Again, it may be a British habit to
say, “Very pleased.” It is not the
habit of careful writers or good speak¬
ers. At one point we think Mr. Brand
er Matthews makes a definite mistake.
He treats the uses of “ministers,”
meaning the ministers in office for the
time being, as a growing neologism
Unless our memory greatly deceives us
It was the common form of the last
sentury, and “the ministry,” “the gov¬
ernment” are innovations by compari¬
son. We did not know that revival of
“ministers” was on the increase. When
we have used it ourselves it has been
with a pleasurable feeling of slight
archaism. But if Mr. Brander Mat¬
thews has observed that it is coming
into fashion again he is very likely to
be right. For our own part we should
wfUcome it.— London Saturday Review
