Democratic Platform Declares for Silver Dollar and Tax Reform
The platform denounces demonetization of silver, supports full legal tender status for the silver dollar, and calls for anti-foreign labor imports, anti-banker influence, and reform of income tax. It argues for restoring prosperity through monetary justice, limiting private contract money, and reducing government offices and salaries. The document invites American citizens to endorse these principles and seek legislative relief and national recovery.
