Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-06
Platform Of tae Republican Party If the
State Of keVada.

| ReSOlfeO, mat the piatlOrm OF principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
| ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
! the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
| Republicans Of Nevada.
| Resolved, That the hordes of Chinese that
are coming in upon our shores to eat out our
| substance are destroying our country. impov-
erishing our mines miners and laborers, de-
| bauchinS our youth, and making both men
and women lower in the scale Of humanity.
This evil must and shall be stopped. and to
| his end we pledge the entire strength of the
| Republican party. In the language of our
| great leader, we regard the immigration of
Asiatics TO the United States as little less than
a 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 Rurlngame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then be promptly annulled, aud such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic scourge now menacing
| the ell-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
tho part of the Democracy, has led to the re-
sumption of specie payments, the raising OF
our national credit to 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 tho General Government, through the au
thorizatiOn of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or other legal tender currency. at the
cost OF coinage and for the benefit of tho pro-
duoer, the entire silver product of the coun-
tr - and 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 inttexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following Of hs-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, ami we urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts for its defeat Such
a restriction would work disaster to the labors
of the prospector, and seriously retard tho de-
velopment of the mineral riches OF the West,
and we cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. K. NJ. Dagsett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty Of State and Terri
torial Legislatures to regulate aud restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
the constitutional right than tho positive duty
of Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
the charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of spe
clio payments and the splendid financial con-
dition of the Republic, we are in favor OF re- !
stricting the issuance of National and State
legal bOleS 10 VI HOL 1898
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand as Il circulating medium for
the precious metals which our mines are an
nuslly yielding.
Resolved, That General James 4. 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 and ear
nest support of all the loyal people of the !
United States for President and Vice Pres- |
dent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
aud we pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
wiclniDg majority.
