Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1880-10-06

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 AsiItics to
the United States as little less than servilo
invasion. Should the Commissioners now in
negotiation with the Chinese Government
fail to secure by the 1st of Next Jannary srch
a modification Of the Burlingame Treaty ns
will practically put an end 10 the influx OF
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty be then be promptly snnulied, and
such laws enacted ss will relieve us at once
and forever of the Asiatic scourge now Iuen-
acing the well-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-
ton on the pa OF the Democracy. has led to
the resumption of specie payments, the rais-
ing of our National credit to 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 1t 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 loreign 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
and mining and now before the House OF
Representatives prohibiting the following Of
fissure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries. and we urge our hep-
resentstives in 9th Houses of Congress TO
cnnue their efforts for its defeat. euch
restriction would work disaster to the laDof
of the prospector, and seriously retard the
DEVELOPMENT of The mineral riches OF the
West. and we cordially indorse the action OF
our Representative, the Hon. X. NJ. Dsggett,
in this behalf.
Resolved That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of the State and
Territorial Legislatures to regulate and re-
strict tine charges of railroads exclusively
within their respective boundaries, and that
il 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 cond!'
ton 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 fve dollars, thus creating an in
or, ased home demand as . circulating medi-
um for the precious metals which oar mines
are annually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. darheld
and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
the counry, by their devotion to principles
and by their unspotted reputation as 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
yada at the ensuing election by an overwhel-
ming majority,
