which brought lhe country to the verge of financial and Industrial ruin which wiped out private fortunes reduced incom a turned tens of thousands of men cut of closed fac tories distressed business brought thou sands of deserving poor face to face with starvation and general distress upjn the American people The complete transfrr of the Government to the Demo cratic party too late to avoid these terrible evils it could only remove the causes and reoair the Injury therefore rejjlce that by toe repeal of the Sherman liw for the purchase and storage cf silver bullion all fear of a de preciated currency has been allayed and faith has been in the ability of the Government to maintain a coos'aul parity between its gold and silver coinage that by the repeal of the McKinley tariff law the inordinate taxation of tLetnany lurtte bentfit cf thefew has been notably dimin ished and In the place of inequitable and mor strous customs duties which have starved scute Industries and over fed oth ers the tariff schedules have been adjusted so that while affording ample safeguards for American labor they reduce the price to the people of the necessities of life and encourage the promotion of Industry by cheapening the cost many raw materials used in manufactures and that ty reduc tion in txpenditures wherever possible and by provision for additional revetns the legitimate demands upon the treasury will no longer exceed the Income and an Increase In lhe public "We cjccur with President Cleveland that lhe new tariff law doea not embody the full measure of tariff reform but with him alto

Slate by their expression th pills in November will sustain bis administra tion and by the re election of lhe Demo cratic representatives in Congress show their appreciation of their faithful serve? and their condemnation of that It publi can incompetency which was respousio'e for the financial panic of 1893" The remainder of the platform is to State politics In it appears this para graph:
