Itccogniziug the fací that this is u free country, and tli.'it the peoplc have tbc right lo read and thiuk for them?elve, and as the columes of The Democrat ara always open for frce and candid desiissions of questions, we cneerfully give publicity io ilio folio ff ing communication ■ Kiiitmitt Hm ' mocrat: Dbab Bib:- Recognizing t lint Tuk DSHOCRAT representa tbe views of its party in this eounty in aloui the samo pioportion as the Detroit Pust and Tribune the rcpublican party in the state"! Michigan, I would like to have yon publish the encloscd platform and rive tlie views held by the demócrata of Washtenaw in reiation to It. We national grroenhackers say tiial the eiht hundred mil lion dollars ot governnient bonds falling due this year and next. BÜould lic paiii (not refunded). Gen. Weavcr has cplained several times how it can -be dom .ind not increue tüe circulatiDg mectiuin a dollar. Second, rccognmng ibatwo owe aboul two thmisaud millions of dollar pnjable in coin silver as well as gold, silver to helt 10 fine and contain 412 1-2 grains, wu siy coin the precious metáis without limit. If it were possible, coin i thousand m'llion a year and paj' the national debt, The government slionkl do its business the sanie aR an honest and honorable man would do as he agraes, but not riy more. Third, we &ay that the greca back when perfected, made a 1 Uil legal tender for all debts public ind private (not by the dieturn of John Sherman, but an act ofcongressj is the best moncy ever issucd by any government, and 'should bu i.ssued directly ly the general government, and made the permanent paper currency f the country. Now Mr. Editor the eleclton is over, and the republicana wiil remaiu in comniand of the sbip of ,-tale for the nextfour years. The national graenbaekers of tbis county would like to know how Thk Democrat stands on these living issues. If we have sot to tlght botb ihe old partie? wull and good. Uur arinor is already bucklcd on and we proposc to Üghtitout by theballot 'til victoroy crowna our eflforts." We realize that the fight wil] be long and desperate, but we know if we don't succecd in our day, our children after us will continue the light 'til the grand army of reform comes niarching home with victory perebed ou their banners. There is too much yankee grit in thein to remain slaves for all future time to the untaxed bond holden. Yon can bet yourall on that and win. Scio, Jïov. ?9. Oko. A. Peters. The following is tbe platform already referred to: The country must look to the adaiiiiistration of President Garflelil for three measures of rinancinl reform: 1 . I.egislation that sliall mako poiltble the refundinjf of the entire uational debt in long term boüds at a low ruto of Interest, 3 per cent. if possible. Some law with this aim should be passed ihit winter, but if it is not it stiould be placed upon the etatute books early in the next term. It s not probable that this quevtion will arouse any very determined controversy. '2. The suspension of the compulsory coinage of silver. The existing laws will inevitably ilood ourchannelsof commerce with legal tender silver to the exclusión of gold, and bringupou us the evils of a debased (if metallic) currency. Tbat the present act coinpelling the mint to turn iit sundry millions of silver dollars ■ every month imist be repealed, il now admiltod by many who were, three yers ago, the stauncbest advocates of iu p:igsage. There will be a hard flght on lliis point, but the repeal can be carried. :. The taking of snrac tcps lookin to ilie ultímate redeinption nd deslruction uf the greenbacks, and the permanent relireinentof the goveinnieut from tlie business of furuUliing a paper currency. Upon tliiB iMie the struggle will le dBperate. prolongad and doubtful. The und my not be reaohed in four yeur. but I'. must come some time. and the dUcussion rf tliin pubject and the eduoation of the people therein must be pushed. And iu all matters of tinancial reform llie president.elect is both eiiipped and jtccuitomed to lead the wiy. David Webster Nr-.s? m-IuhIimI hi.s ?!th birthdny, Tuesda.
