Democratic Platform Emphasizes Gold Silver Monometallism
The Democratic platform asserts faith in liberty and local self government while denouncing monometallism and demonetization of silver. It calls for free coinage of silver and gold at the legal ratio, legal tender status for the standard silver dollar, and treasury-backed paper money. It opposes bonds in peacetime, favors revenue tariffs, and seeks to curb private money power, with mentions of Jackson and constitutional limits.
