Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-10-21
Platform Of the Republican Party If the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principle
adopted by the National Republican Conven
ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of al
Republicans of Nevada.
Resolved, That the hordes of Chinese tina
are coming in upon our shores to eat out ouI
substance are destroying our country, impov
erishIng our mines, miners, and iaborers, de-
bauchlng 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
| great leader, we regard the immigration of
AslaticS to the United States as little less than
a servile invasion. Should the Commission
| ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent 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 menacug
| the well-beng 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 a height never before
known, and the restoration of national pros
perty. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-
tioH Nv me SIne OF SDiN, ana, IOf lne purpose
of attaining that end we hold it to be the duty
of the General Government, through the au-
thorizatiOn of Congress, to coin iu standard
dollars or Their legal tender currency. at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
duCer, the entire sill yer 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 infieXibiy opposed to
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 it's defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the labors
of the pros pector. and seriously retard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse The action Of our
Representative, the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett, i'll
this behalf.
Resolved. That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri
tora Legislatures 10 regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
the CONSTITUTIONAL righS than the positive duty
of Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
the charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate tho
country on the successful re~uup ion of spe-
Gle payments and the splendid financial cum
dtiun of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
the issuance of Natioaal and State
legal tender notes TO denominations of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
nome demand as Il circulating medium Tor
the precious metals which our uiines are an
hualiv yielding.
Resolved. That General James A. Garfield |
and Chester a. Arthur. by their services to
their country, bv their deviation to principle. !
and by their un~potted reputation * nien and
ciliZens, are deserving Of the united and ear |
nest support of ali the loyal peonie of the |
United States for President aud Vice PreSi- |
dent thereof We rejoice in their nomination
and we pledge Ia them the Electoral vote of |
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over |
whelming majority.
