Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaign Text-Book of the National Democratic Party: 1896 The preservation of Democratic principles and of the Democratic party demands the rejection of the platforms adopted by the Silver party at Chicago and St. Louis and of the candidates there put in nomination, whoso victory would mean defeat to the Democratic party and disaster to the country which it was organized to serve. This motive has caused the great uprising which the National Democratic organization represents. The Populist Democratic representatives of the Chicago and St. Louis platforms can make successful appeal to their hearers only by disregard of facts, figures and human experiences. This campaign text-book is issued by the National Democratic Committee to set forth the facts, the experiences and the arguments which refute their claims. It is intended for writers - especially for editors; and for speakers - particularly those engaged in debate; and it is put in handy form that it may be carried in the pocket and easily consulted. It is issued at a low price that it may also be used for general circulation, although it is not intended so much for a campaign document as for the use of those preparing campaign documents and speeches. It is intended, should the development of the campaign make it desirable, to issue early in October a supplement which will present additional facts and arguments. A newspaper supplement is also in preparation, giving documents, speeches, etc., in connection with the movement, to be issued at a low price ($12 per 1,000) for general use. Part first includes the address and platform of the National Democratic movement; sketches of the two tried Democrats who are the candidates of the Indianapolis Convention for President and Vice-President; their speeches of acceptance; and evidence as to which is the true Democratic party as witnessed by true Democrats. Part second sets forth, in successive chapters, the arguments, with the historical facts and statistical figures which justify them, refuting the position of the Silver party and, to some extent, the economic and financial heresies and errors which should prevent Democrats from supporting the sound money candidate of their historical opponents. The first chapter shows that the free-silver plunge is an experiment as new as it is dangerous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
