Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-07-11

Below ia given The text Of the platform reso
Eutiens All pted 10y the Republican National
Convention At Chicago:
Republican rule has restored upOn q old
hasis pavm ent in coin for all the national OBJ
SiSstions, aud has given us a currency abso-
Iuteiy good and legal, and equal IN every
part OF our extended country. 1t has lifted
abe credit of the nation from the point where
six per cent. bonds sold at Sc, to that where
four per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at u
premium. Under its administration railways
have increased from 81 900 miles In l66OtO
more than 50 900 miles in 1879. Our foreign
syade has creased from 700 ONO, 900 to 81 So
0No, 900 IN the same time, and our exports,
which were 500 900 less than our imports
"a 1850, were S264, O0O, 900 more than our i'm.
ports in 1870. Without resOrting to loans, it
has, since the war closed, betrayed the ordin-
ary expenses Of government, besides the &C.
sruing interest on the public debt, and dis
bursed annually more than $50, 600, 900 for SOL
iiers' pensions. II has paid $SSO, 900 600 of the
public debt. and Ivy refsnding the balance at
lower rates, has reduced the annual interest
sharge from yearly $751; 100000 to less than
$BS, 900, 900. All the industries Of the country
have revived; 'abbr is in demand; wages have
ssScreased, aud throughout the entire country
shers ia evidence ct coming prosperity
greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon
shis record the Republican asks for the con-
nuued confidence and support Of the people,
end this COW entiOn submits for their appro-
and purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire its efforts:
ENUMERATION OF PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm that the work Of the last
.WentY-Oue years has been such as to COM
mend Itself to the favor OF the nation, and
rhat the fruits at the costly victories which
~e have achieved through Immense difficult
ties should he preserved. That the peace re-
gained should berharished. That the disSav
,rsd union, now happily restored, should be
atoN raj ma iaS n
hiiis generation shoH'd tie transmitted undi
soin,slsed to future generations. That the or
der established and the credit acquired should
never he isrer,,ed. That the pensions prom
isoi should he paid. That the debt so much
reduced shonli I've ex,ingulsned by the full
slaym ii o. crt dollar thereof. That the
reviving indus; ries should he further promo
sad, and tina the commerce already so great
should he st"n2 ~ encouraged
