Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-11
Platform Of iie Republican Party Of the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
| ton at Chicago III June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement OF ali
Republicans of Nevada. a'
| Resolved, That the hordes of Chinese that
are coming In upon our shores to eat out our
| substance ara destroying our country, impov-
| crushing our mines, miners, and laborers, de-
| bauching our youth, and making both men
! and women lower In the scale of humanity.
This evil must and shall be stopped and to
| this end we pledge the entire strength of the
RepG OlIcan party. In the language OF our
| great leader, We regard the immigration of
| Asiatics to the United States as little less than
| servile invasion. Should the Commission
| ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
ernment fail to secure by the LIST of January
| such modification Of the Rurlingame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx OF
| Chinese to this country, we demand that the
| treaty then be promptly annulied, and such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever Of the Asiatic scOurge now menacing
the well-being Of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse the
general financial policy of the Republican
party, which, In spite of every opposition on
the part Of tho Democracy, has led to the re-
sumption of specie payments, the raising Of
our national credit TO a height never before
known, and the restoration Of national pros
perity. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-
ton by the side of gold, and, for the purpose
Of attaining that end, we hold it to be the duty
of the General Government, through the au-
thorization of Congress, to coin INFO standard
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost Of coinage and for the benefit Of the pro-
duoer, tho entire silver product of the coun-
trs ADD relieve the mining industry from the
loss Of attending the shipment to, and sale of
silver bullion in foreign markets. AS mining
for the precious metals is the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are infexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following of is-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts Tor its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the iabors
of the prosp6ctor. and seriously retard the de-
ve!opment Of the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse the action Of our
Representative, the Hon. Il. M. Daggett, III
this behalf.
Resolved That the Repu blican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri !
tOrial Legislatures TO regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less |
the constitutional right than the positive duty |
OF Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
the charges of inter State railroads. |
Resolved, That while we congratulate tho |
on the successful resumption of spe- |
Gle payments and the splendid financial oon- |
dItion Of tho Republic, we are in favor OF re- 1
stric.ing the issuance of National and State +,
legal tender notes to denominations of not less |
than five dollars, thus. creating an Increased |
home demand as y circulating medium for |
the precious metals which our mines are al
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield |
and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to |
their country, by their devotion to principle. |
and by their unspotted reputation men and |
citizens, are deserving Of the united aud ear
nest support of all the loyal people Of the |
United States for President and Wee Presi- |
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination |
and We pledge to them the Electoral vote Of |
Nevada at the ensuing election by sn over
!, lattn;nr majority
