believing that its restoration to its ancient
rank ~ scirculs.ing medium, will benefit
not only lhe mining interests Of Nevada,
but the people Of the entire country. We
denounce the Republican party for the
decentralization Of silver in 1873, for OPP
posing its partial restoration in 1878, and
for persistentiy eudesvoring ever since to
nullify, a. far a. possible, the opera
ton Of said laws Of 1873, by restrict
ing the coinage TO oDe-half the max
imum permitted by law. and as far az
possible Withholding from circulation the
limited quantity coined. In the great
States OF New York, Pennsylyanis and
Massachusetts, the State platforms have
already demanded the immediate cessation
of the coinage OF silver, while their ma
tional platform ia ominously silent upon
this question Of vital importance TO the
people Of Nevada. We call upon the in
telligent miners Of Nevada, and upon all
other citizens Of the State, regardless Oh
partisan preferences, to express at the bal
lot box their condemnation OF this party,
which has proved itself TO be their most
dangerous enemy, and which now
threatens to repeal the Act oil
1878. We claim for the Democratic
party OF the country the honor Of having
given to the people Of the Pacific Coasi

ing effects OF unrestricted Chinese immi

point to the fact that the passage OF thii
Act OF partial relief was bitterly and vigor.
ously opposed by a large majority Of the
Republicans in Congress, and almost
unanimously by the Eastern press and
leaders OF that party. We further charge
that since the passage Of that Act tht
efforts of Republican Judges, and of Other
Federal officials, have been directed
either to its absolute or practical nullifica
ton. We are in favor Of continuing in
strict force and execution the present Law
OF Congress excluding Chinese laboreri
from every portion of our country. VIZ
hold that the tariff should be 80 adjusted

ment, that the burden of duties should b.
laid chiefly upon the luxuries Of life, and
as lightly as possible upon articles Of
necessity, and that In such adjustment the
interests Of American labor, and not oil
monopolies, should alone be regarded.
Resolved, That our State Constitution il
deficient in its provisions for our present
wants, and inadequate to the institution
by statutory enactments Of the economical
reforms necessary in our State and county
Governments. and 10 prevent by whole.
some legislation the aggressive attitude OF

recommend that the members OF the Dem.

election for the call OF q Constitutions
