Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-07
Platform Of ths Republican Party If the
State Of Nevada.

| Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
| ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
Republicans Of Nevada.
Resolved, That tho hOrdes of Chinese that
are coming IN upon our shores to eat out our
substance are destroying our country, impov
Crushing our mines, miners, and !aborers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both nen
and women lower in the scale of humanity.
This evil must and skal be stopped, and to
TINS 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 serviie 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 DO promptly annuied, aud such
laws enacted as will relieve US at once and
forever of the Asiatic scourge now meuacing
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
sumption of specie payments, the raising OF
our national credit 10 height never before
known, and the resOration of national pros
perty. But we also demand the complete
restoration Of silver coin to it's 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-
th0rization of Congress, to OOin inlO standard
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost Of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
duoer, the entire sill yer product of the COun-
try and relieve the mining industry from the
loss OF 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 infiexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following of tis-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and We urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts Tor its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the labors
of the prospeCtor, and seriuus y reiard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West,
and We cordially indOrse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and Guty of State and Terri |
tOriai Legislatures 70 regu ate and restrict the
charges Of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
tho Constitutional right than the positive duty |
of Congress to regulate the tariffs and restrict |
the charges of inter Stale railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the |
country on the successful resumption Of spe- |
nie payments and the splendid financial con- |
1ition Of the Republic, we are in favor of re- !
stric.ing the issuance Of National and State :,
legal tender notes to denominations of not less |
than five dollars, thus creating an increased |
home demand as r circulating medium for !
ho precious metals which our mines are an |
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield |
and Chester A. Arthur. by their services to |
heir country, by their devotion to principle. |
,nd by their unspotted reputation as men and |
iii izens, are deserving Of the united and ear |
nest support of all the loyal people of the |
United States for President and Vice Presi- |
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination |
snd we pledge to them the Electoral vote Of |
Nevada at the ensuing election by over
sheining Na; ority.
