We, the democrats of the state of Nebraska, in conveutlon assembled, renew our allegiance to the principles taught by Thomas Jefferson mii1 courageously defended by Andrew Jackson, and demand that the great problems now before the lop!e shall be solved by the application of these principles to present conditions. We congratulate the democrats of Massachu setts npon the candor and frankness which char acterized their platform urterancesof yesterday. We rejoice that they, no longer quibbling about the ratio or holding out the delusive hope of in ternational co-operation, have at last consented resubmit to the people the question, whether the United States shall have mononietallaui or binietalisni whether the American people shall deliberately adopt the English system of finance or restore the gold and silver coinage of the con stitution. The Massachusetts demand for a single gold standard and for the redemption e all ifOVdrnment obligations in irold atone pre cents the paramount Issue of the campaign, and we welcome the contest. We endorse the language used by Hon. John l. Carlisle in 1375, when he denounces the con Bpirey" to destroy silver as a standard money as -the most gigantic crime of this or any other age," an-l we agree with nun In the declaration then made that "the consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail moremisery 111 on the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that have ever occurred in the history of the world." We are not willing to Le parties to a such a crime, and in order to undo the wrong already done and to prevent a further rise In the purchasing power of the dollar, we favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the pre cut legal ratio of 1) to l, as such coinage existed prior to l, i. without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation, such gold and silver to te a full legal tender for all debts, public and private. We are opposed to the retirement of the green back and demand that the secretary of the treas ury, instead of issuing interest-bearing bonds for the purchase of gold, shall recognize silver as money of redemption and exercise the right to redeem greenbacks, treasury notes and all other coin obligations in silver when silver is more convenient. lielieving that general laws should not be set aside by private contract, we favor such congres sional legislation as will, without interfering with valid contracts already in existence, pro hibit for the future the making of agree ments for the payment of any specific kind of legal tender money. W'e are in favor of a tariff for revenue only. We are in favor of a constitutional amend ment autnorizing the collection of an income tax as a part of the federal revenue system. We are in favor of the election of United states senators by the direct vote of the ieople. We are in favor of a liberal pension policy. We are In favor of the initiative and referen dum system as an aid to securing a government of the people, for tne people and by the people. The democratic party has ever been the party or religious liberty in the country, it nas ai ways been and is now opposed to the union of onurch and state in any lorm or under any pre text whatever; it is opposed to the imposition of any religious test for office; it ii opposed to ail secret political organizations of every kind or character, or any open political organization based upon religious prejudices, as contrary to the spirit and genius of our institutions and thor oughly un-American. It stands by our public school system as a means of popular education and is opposed to any diversion of public school funds to any sectarian purpose but it recognizes the right of parental control and the rights of conscience In the education of children as in accord with the fundamental doctrines of the democratic party, that the largest liberty con Distent with the rights of others Insures the best government. YEAi:? OF INACTIVITY. Mr. Walter Wellman writes his pa per, the Chicago Times-Herald, as fol lows: "So Intelligent man in Washington expects the republican party to pass a tariff bill dur ing the first two years of the new administra tion. The question is, will it be able to pass such a measure at all during the four years fol lowing next March t In all probability the combination of democrats, populists and silver republicans which now composes a majority of the senate will have disappeared by March 4. 1S99. But two contingencies must then be faced. First, the house of representatives elected in 139S may be democratic, or have combined ; second, if the bouse shall be republican and the senate hhow a majority of protection re publicans over the allied forces, the antiquated rules are still in the way." This is not an encouraging prospect for the republicans. No chance to carry a tariff bill before 1S09, and by that time the house may be democratic, and yet the Times-Herald is urging the nomination of McKinley on a high tariff platform. It will be hard to arouse much McKinley enthusiasm with the certainty of several years of inactivity before any tariff legislation can be secured. World -Herald. TnE reason that labor outbreaks cannot be prevented by legal severities, says the Cleveland Recorder, is that they originate in a sense of wrong, in a lively, though vague, consciousness of injustice. Revolts against injus tice have never been and never will be finally put down by harsh measures. The only effective remedy is to remove the injustice, unless it can be demon strated that none exists. TnE republican papers that have been talking about the distress in dicated by the ordinary closing of glass works for the summer will please take notice, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, that the American Plate Glass com pany announces a 8100,000 addition to its plant.
