Platform of the Republican Party
of the State of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
tion 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 ouI mines, miners and laborers, de-
bauching our youth and making both man 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 Republi-
can party. In the language of our great lead
er, we regard the immigration of Asiatics to
the United States as little less than a servile
invasion. Should the Commissioners now In
negotiation with the Chinese Government
fail to secure by the LIST of Next January such
a modification of the Burlingame Treaty es
will practically put an end TO the influx of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty be then be promptly annulled, and
such laws enacted as will relieve us at once
and forever of the Asiatic scourge now men
acing the yell-being of the Republic.
Resolved That we most heartily indorse
the general financial policy of the Repub-
lican party, which, in spite of every opposi-
tion on the pat of the Democracy, has led to
the resumption of specie payments, the rails
ing of our National credit to a height never be-
fore known, and the restoration of National
prosperity. But we also demand the COM
plete restoration of silver coin to its former
position by the side of gold, and, for tht pur
pose of attaining that end. we hold it to be the
duty of the General Government. through the
authorization of Congress, to coin into silver
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
ducer, the entire silver product of the coun-
try, and relieve the mining industry from the
loss 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 inhexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the committee on mines
ard mining and now before the House of
Representatives, prohibiting the following OF
issure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge our Rep.
esentstiNes in both Houses of Congress to
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1880-09-22

continue their efforts for its defeat. Such 9
restriction would work disaster to the labor
of the prospector, and seriously retard the
development of the mineral riches OF the
West, and we cordially indorse the action OF
cur Representative, the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett,
In this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
1t to be the right and duty of the State and
Territorial Legislatures to regulate and re-
strict the charges of railroads exclusively
within their respective boundaries, and that
1t is no less the Constitutional right than
positive duty OF Congress to regulate tariffs
and restrict the charges Of interstate rail-
roads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption Of specie
payments and the splendid financial condi-
tion 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 In
creased home demand as q circulating medi.
um for the precious metals which our mines
are annually yielding.
Resolved That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
the counry, by their devotion to principles
and by their unspotted reputation IS men
and as citizens. are deserving of the united
and earnest support Of all the loyal people
of the United States for President and Vice
President. We rejoice IN their nomination
and pledge to them the ELECTORAL votes Of Ne
vada at the ensuing election by an overwhel-
ming majority.

TIE CARD OF TIE .lIU5sEL SLOUGH
SETTLERS.

a card has been published, purporting
to represent the views of the Mussel
Slough settlers who are in controversy
with the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany over the lands they occupy. Who
ever inspired this card it is strange man
ifesto. Il is addressed to the People of
1.-THE United States, and it Is little more
than loose and irrelevant denunciation of
the corporation with which the settlers are
az issue, framed very much after the fash.
ion OF z political platform, ii the settlers
had any sensible advisers they would re-
frsin from sensational and irrational out
breaks Of this character. For their cause
haas nothing TO gain by abuse OF the rail
road company, nor can it lie determined
by any quantity of rhetorical pronuncia-
mientos. The question is whether they
have the law on their side If
they have not, they Will have to sue
cumb. no matter how many hyster-
zeal resolutions of sympathy with them
are adopted by the San Francisco
Socialists, and no matter how wicked they
may declare the railroad company TO be.
Aud it Is quite useless for them to kick
against The pricl;s. Law is sovereign in
this country, for the life Of the Republic
depends on its sovereignty. It may often
be that the operation Of laws will appear
hard and even unjust, but they must be
obeyei whiie they stand on the statute
book and there is no possible escape from
this conclusion. No ono can be permitted
to set up their particular theory of what
ought to be- against the decisions Of tic
Courts and the provisions OF the statutes.
10 one can expect to escape the necessity
o.. ss5,-.ttms to the laws by making IN
f&mmatory appeals TO "the People. The
Law is the final and most solemn cmbodi.
meat Of popular VII, and no section of
the community can disregard or undertake
to tranp'e upoa it. The Mussel Slough
settlers appear TO think that they have
been wronged. Whether they have
or not. their only recourse ia to the estsb.
Iished tribunals of the country, and If
these tribunals decide against them there
is no appeal, and they must accept the
situation. They might as well abandon
the idea that they will be upheld in an en-
deavor tc live outside of the law, or that
they will be indorscd in any attempt to
make their irresponsible and necessarily
prejudioed views the rule of action. Ii
they are determined to fight for what they
assert 20 be their rights, they must confne
their fighting to the Courts, and if they
are worstoi there they they must surrender
like sensible men, and not try to set law
and order at defiance, or seek to organize a
squatters' rebellion by inviting crazy So
cialists 10 help them.
