Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-10-22
Platform # iae Republican Party d the
State Of Nevada.

| Resolved, That the platform Of principles
! adopted by the National Repu blican Conven-
| ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
| the approval and hearty Endorsement Of all
Repn bIicans of Nevada.
Resolved, That the hOrdes Of Chinese that
| are coming in upon our shores to eat out our
su distance are destroying our country, fmpOv-
| erishing our mines, miners, and laborers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both men
and women lower in the scale of humanity.
This evil must and shall he stopped. and to
this end we pledge the entire strength OF the
Republican party. In the language Of our
great leader, we regard the immigration Of
Asiatics 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 a 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 annuliod, and such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asatic scourge now menacng
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 . height never before
known, and the restoration of national pros
perity. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-
ton by the side of gold and, for the purpose
of attaining that end, we hold it to be the duty
of the General Government. through the au-
thorizatiOn of Congress, to coin mo standard
dollars or other legal tender currency. at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
duCer, the entire liver product of the coun-
trt' and relieve the mining Industry from the
loss of attending the shipment to, and sale OF
silver bullion i'll foreign markets. AS mining
for the precious metals is the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are intiexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
aud Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following Of IFS
sure veins deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses Of Congress
to continue their efforts or its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster To the ianors
of the prospector. and scriousi v retard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West
and cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. f. NJ. Daggett, i'll
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty OF State and Terri |
toriai Legislatures to regulate aud restrict the |
charges Of railroads exclusively within their
boundaries, and that ii il no less !
the constitutional right than the positive duty |
of Congress 10 regulate the tariffs aud restrict !
the charges of inter Stale railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate tho |
country on the successful resumption Of Spe- !
Gle PAYNE ts and the splendid financial con- |
ditiou OF the Republic, we are III favor OF re- |
>tricting the issuance Of Natiosal and State |
legal tender notes to denominations OF not less |
han five dollars, thus creating an increased |
homo demand circulating medium for |
he precious metals which our mines are an |
aually Yielding.
Resolved. That General James 4. Garfield |
and Chester 4. Arthur. by their services to |
heir country, by their devotion 70 principle. |
and by their uns pott6d reputation men and |
citizens, are deserving Of the united and ear |
nest support Of all the loyal peonle OF the |
