SILVER CITY NEv. SATURDAY OCTOBER 30 1880.

the approval and hearty Endorsement OF all
Republicans of Nevada.
Resolved, That the hordes Of Chinese thai
are coming in upon our shores to eat out our
substance are destroying our country, impoy-
erishing oul mines, miners and laborers, do
bauching our youth and making both man and
women lower IL 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 Asistics to
the United States as little less than serviie
invasion. Should the Commissioners now In
negotiation with the Chinese Government
fail to secure by the lst of Next JannAry such
a modification of the Burlingame Treaty cs
will practically put an end TO the influx OF
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty ba then be promptly annulied, and
such laws enacted as will relieve us at once
and forever of the Asiatic scouree no" fNen-
acing the well-being Of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse
the general financial policy Of the Repub-
licsn 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 NAv1OQal circuit To . AOiBnt uONoA OOs
fore known, and the restoration OF National
prosperity. But we also demand the COM
rlete restoration OF silver coin to its former
position by the side of gold, and, for tint 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 roreign markets. As mining
for the precious metals Ia the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are inflexibly 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 Rep
resentati es in 9th Houses of Congress to
C oti ue their efforts for its defest. Such
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 oil
our Representative, the Hon. X. M. Daggett,
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 the charges of railroads exclusively
within their respective boundaries, ana that
it is no less the constitutional right than
positive duty Of ongress to regulate tariffs
and restrict tho charges Of interstate rail-
roads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of specie
payments and the splendid financial condt.
ton of the Republic. We are in favor OF re-
strictinp the iss uance Of National and State
legal tender notes TO denominations OF not
| less than five dollars, thus creating an in
| or, ssed home demand a. circulating medi-
nm for the precious metals which oar mines
are annually Welding.
Resolved, That Ge neral James A. Garfield
! and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
| the counry, by their devotion to principles
and by their unspotted reputation Ms men
and a. citizens are deserving Of the united
and earnest support % all the loyal people
of The United States for President and Vice
resident. We rejoice IN their nomination
and pledge to them the ELECTORAL votes of Ne
vada at the ensuing election by an overwhel-
ming majority.
