Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-12
Platform Of !ae Republican Party II the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform Of principles
adopted by the National Repub iican 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-
erishinS our mines, miners, and iaborers, de-
bauching our youth, and making both mon
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
RepHbiIcan party. In the language oil our
great leader, we regard the immigration OF
Asiatcs to the United States as little less than
a servile invasion. Should the Commissions
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent fail to secure by the LIST of January
suoh a modification of the Rurlingame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx OF
Chinese to this country. we demand thas the
treaty then be promptly annuiied, and such
laws enacted ~ will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic scOurge now nenacing
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 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
peritv. 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 oOin into standard
dollars or Of her legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
duter. the entire silver product of the coun-
try 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 il the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are infiexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
aud Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following Of fis-
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 it's defeat. Such
restriction would work disaster to tho labors
of the prOspector, and seriously retard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West,
aud we cordially iudOrse the action Of our
Representative, the Hon. r. Nj. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved. That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State aud Terri
tOriai Legis atures to regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
boundaries, and that it is no less
the constitutional right than the positive duty
Of Congress to regulate the tariffs and restrict
the charges Of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while We congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of spe-
Gle payments and the splendid financial con-
ditiOn OF the Republic, we are in favor OF re-
stricsing the issuance of National and State
legal tender notes to denominations Of not less
than tive dollars, thus creating an Increased
homo demand as = circulating medium for
The precious metals which our mines are an
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
their country, bv their devotion to principle.
and by their unspotted reputation as 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 Presi-
dent thereof We rejoice in their nomination
and VIC pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by au over
she;ining majority.
