Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-08-29
Platform Of tas sepubliean Party II the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
ri"n at Chicago IN June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
Republicans of Nevada. .-. .....r r......
Resolved, That tie hordes of Chinese that
are coming in upon our shores to eat out our
substance are destroy ing our country, impov-
crushing our mines. miners, and labOrers, de-
bauching our yonih, and making both men
aud 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
Republican party. In the language of our
great leader. we regard the immigration of
Asiatics to the United States as little less than
servle invasion. Should the Commission
ers now IL negotiation with the Chinese Gov
ernment fail to secure by the lst of January
such a modification of the Burlingame treaty
~ will pract icaily put an end to the influx Of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then he promptly annuiied, and such
laws enacted IA will relieve US at once and
forever of the Asiatic ~courge now menacing
the we'll 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-
sum ption of specie payments, the raising of
our national credit to a height never before
known, and the restoration Of national pros
pertv. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-
tlou ny the SIuc III SOius dtIh, IoI the pun pOSc
of attaining that end, we hold it to be the duty
of the General Government, through the au
thorizatiOn of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or Of her legal tender currency, at the
COST of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
ducer, the 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 metal is the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are inf1exibly opposed to
III
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following of ifs
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 labOrs
of the prospector, and seriuuS V retard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West,
and we cordially indorse the action of oar
Represe ntative, the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri
tOriai Legislatures TO regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, aud 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
on the successful resumption of spe-
Gle payments and the splendid financial con-
ditiOn 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 a 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
heir country, by their devotion to principle,
and by their unspotted reputation as men and
are deserving of the united aud ear
nest support of all the loyal people of the
United States for President and Vice Presi- |
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
and we pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
whe,ning majority.
