Democratic Party Platform on Silver and Liberty Principles
The document reaffirms core Democratic tenets from Jefferson to the present, endorsing free and unlimited coinage of silver at a 16 to 1 ratio with gold, opposing gold monometallism, and demanding that the standard silver dollar be legal tender. It calls for government money issuance by the treasury, tariff reform for revenue, expansion of railroad and anti-monopoly controls, territorial expansion, and merit-based civil service while opposing third terms for presidents, with Cuba support and Alaska territorial rights.
