ThD Democratic Platform.
Tue" platform o the- Democ
racy, wMbh Vili be- found in an
other column, is about up to the
usual platform standard of that
party, -and 'is chiefly remarkable
for what it does not say. Upon
points that are conceded by
all to have but one sensible status,
it is very emphatic, upon points of
special importance it is silent; upon
points of great and surpassing
interest it indulges in platitudes,
more objectionable than silence.
We look in vain for a clear ring
ing declaration against monopoly
power wrongly applied; where wo
expected to hear a clarion voto of
defiance we only hear the cackle
of an antiquated hen; perhaps the
third clause is all that the leaders
wore permitted to say.
The sixth clause comes with
peculiar grace from a party who
cannonized Jackson, the founder
of the srioils system. There is a
great deal, in the platform that
though good is not new, yet
it is good for all that. We
believe the Democracy in earnest
in the admirable doctrine of the
fourth clause: that is good doc
trine call it what you will: the
eighth clause is also sound politi
cal sense. The ninth is simple
"taffy," so is the. tenth: the elev
enth is a good statement: wo hope
that will prevail, and also t!ie
thirteenth: the democrats always
have discountenanced any whin
ing, skulking, midnight offbrt to
ostracise men that preferred to
worship God .as" they ''believed
was right, arid as"a party, deserve
credit therefor." .As . whole, the
Oregon Democracy have a fair
platform. 'Tis wide enough fo
tha candidates to stand on, -.md
has soma good, sound timber
in it. The great merit of it
in our eyes -.a -its omission to iug
in Jefferson and all that 'OS busi
ness, sis Democratic conventions
are prono to do. Tiio frmners of
the platform before us showed sa
gacity, .jthere. .If they, had put a
good plank in -the platform rela
tive to Uic necessity of radroad
corporations returning forfeited
land grants to their rightful own
ers, we are of the opinion that
they would stand a better show to
capture rx-otes in this cud of the
state. As this part of the com
monwealth was entiiely ignored
in the matter of nominations it
was the least ,they might doto
throw us that much by way of rec
ognition. JUut, probably, it is not
of much "consequence.
Quid Coinage.
Tne limited amount of small
gold coined was long a source of
inconvenience, to the general public-
It was iterated and reiterated
that the demands of the country
require a greater percentage of the
gold coinage to be of smaller de
nomination. Of late years the
matter has been better done.
From the organization of the Mint
in 1792 to the close of the last
fiscal year, there -was coined in
gold the sum of $1,211,837,116,
of which 935,100,000 was in
double eagles. Thus over 77 per
cent, of our gold coinage is in
pieces that are practically of littlu
use as current money for every
day transactions.- Tho 20 gold
coin is of service to bankers where
there is no paper money in circu
lation, because it is convenient to
handle and counts up rapidly ia
largo transactions. Tho next
smallest coin is the eagle, or S10
piece. Of this, description, 110,
119,520 had been coiued to tho
close of the last fiscal year. Hero
is nearly 10 per cent, more in a
coin that is of comparatively little
use alongside of. papjr money of
the same ; .denomination. This
leaves only about 13 per cent, of
small gold for ordinary transac
tions of business, yithin the
pasttwo or three years more at
tention has been paid to the coin-
ago of gold pieces under S20, in
response to a popular demand, as
voiced through the press.
Tue apologetic declaration is
mado from Washington that the
President '-vetoed tho Chinese bill j
without any especial reference x
tho future of his party. It was
unnecessary to telegraph that fact
any more than it would be to let
us know that rain is wet, or that
cork will float. Tho occasion, -was
one of these where the good eff tho
country and the good of the party
went together, and what -would
help the one would redound to the
credit of the other.
