erishIng our mines. miners, and iaborers. de-
| baurhing our you h, and making both men
| aud women lower in tho scale of humanity
| This evil must and shall be stopped. and t.,
his end we pledge the entire strength of the
| Republican party. In the language Of our
| great leader. wa regard the immigration vt
Asia,ics to the Uni' ed States as little less tina"
| n Servile invasion. Should the Commissions

Chinese to this country. we demand thar the
treaty then tie promptly AnnuIled, and such
laws c,ed ~ will relieve us at once and
| forever of he Asiaiic >courge now menacng
the well-being of the Republic.
Resolved, That " e mos 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 If specie payments, the raising Of
our national credit to a height never before
known, and the siOratiOn of national pros
peritv. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-
of attaining that end, we hold it to be the dutv
of the General Government, through the au
lhOrlZatIOn OF Congress-, to com into standard
dollars or o her legal tender currency, Al the
cost Of Gninage and for the benefit of the pro
ducer, tne entire sill yer 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 met ais il the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are infiexiblv opposed To
. Ill l.,
and Mining and now before he House of Rep
reSentatives, prohibiting the following of f~-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
Representatives i'm both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts tor its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the laborS
of the prospect0r, and seriously re- ard the de-
velOpment of the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse the action of our
Representative. the Hon. Il. M. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican 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 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-
dtion Of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
stricting the issuance of National and State
legal tender notes to denominations of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
home 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, by their devotion to principle,
and by their unspotted reputation men and
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
and We pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
" helmng majority.
