ADOPTED BY THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
PREAMBLE — We, the Democrats of the United States in
these years the democratic party has resisted the tendency of self
ish. interests to the centralization of government power, and
,' tea( jfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of gov
eminent established by the founders of this republic of republics.
jj a( j er it b guidance and teachings the great principle of local self
government has found its best expression in the maintenance of
riffhts of the states and in its assertion of tne necessity of confining
the veueral government to the exercise of the powers granted by
uouent of political liberty and religious freedom, and it renews its
obligations and reaffirms its devotion to these fundamental priu
ciples of the constitution.
MONEY QUESTION—Recognizing that the money question is
paramount fact to all others at this time, we invite attention to the
that the federal constitution names silver and gold together
as the money metals of the United States, and that the first coiu
acr e law passed by congress under the constitution made the sil—
dollar the monetary unit and admitted gold to free coinage at
based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, demonetizing silver without
OPPOSED TO THE GOLD STANDARD—We are unalterably
to monometallism, which has locked fast the prosperity
of an industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold mon¬
ometallism is a British policy, and its adoption has brought other
nations into financirl servitude to London. It is not only un
American but anti-American, and it can be fastened on the Unit
ed States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty
Mich proclaimed our political independence in 177 G and won the
war of the revolution.
COINAGE OF BOTH SILVER. AND GOLD—We demand the
freeaud unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of lb to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of
iany other nation* We demand that the standardsilvo dollar shall
[be [private, a full legal tender, equally such legislation with gold, for will all prevent debts, for public the and fu
and we favor as
lire the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by pri
contract.
We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to
holders of the obligations of the United States the option re
by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in
silver coin or gold coin. IN TIME OF PEACE—W
AGAINST BOND ISSUES e are op
to the issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the l nited States
time of peace and condemn the trafficking with banking syndi
which, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to
supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the

Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and
Jackson declared that this power could not bo delega
to corporations or individuals. V e, therefore, denounce the
of notes intended to circulate as money by national
banks as in derogation of the constitution; and we demand that

Fran nnmerouH cxpressiono, it is
evident tlutfc the primary cleotioa us
a method of nomination is losing
favor. 9’ho people believe that it af¬

When any method of party nomi*
