Democratic Platform Adopts Free Coinage and Reforms
The national Democratic convention adopts a platform urging free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at 16 to 1, opposition to gold monometallism, and explicit calls to reform banking, tariffs, and public finance. It condemns Republican policies, supports direct treasury note issuance, and demands expanded interstate rail and land policies plus territorial statehood and Cuba sympathy.
