While the Republican party il making
such . hue and cry in the iron rgions
Of the East about protection to the
miners. protection to labor. etc, itwould
be veil for the people Ct Nevada : take
. glance at the position OF the Plum.d
knight ON the silver question III past
years and see what grounds he occupied
on the principal industry Of our State.
Bolestier, the author of Blaine s Cam
Paign Life" page IL. says:
"Mr. Blaine was opposed to the Bland
Silver bill as it passed both houses and
finally passed over the veto Of the Pres
ident. His position upon it was essen
italy that made known by President
Hayes in his annual message preceding
the passage Of the ILL and afterwards in
vetoing IT."
As is well known, the passage OF the
Blard Silver bill over the veto Of Presi-
dent Hayes placed silver in the position
IL now occupies, though that is far below
the status to which this precious metal
is entitled.
The Congressional Records show that
Blaine Was so much opposed to the
Bland bill that he endravored To ruin il
By an amendment making the dollar 425
grains, and it is evident that had il been
in the power Of the Republican party in
general, aud James q. Blaine and Pres
ident Hayes in particular, silver would
have been ~dissraced, the Bland bill de-
fcated and gold coin the only legal tender
in the payment Of debts both public and
private.
Blaine's opposition TO silver ana the
silver Interests should put every miner,
every producer, and every one who is
interested i'll the production of silver ON
his guard against casting his vote for one
whose energies nave been devoted TO the
debasement Of the principal industry OF
our State. We have reason to rejoice
that silver occupies the position that it
does to-day, and it is owing to the indie
fatigable efforts Of the Democrats MEM
beers OF Congress hat that result was &C
complished; but We are not satisfied with
that; We want silver to be placed OH q
par with goblin other words We want
free coinage Of silver, and that we will
never get while the Republican party is
in power.
We can only judge of the future by
the past, and Judging by 'he past record
Of Blaine. what can the friends of silver
hope for i'll his election to the Pres,-
dency?
From this time forth let every man
whose interests are identified with the
elevation of silver to its proper position
as II of the precious metals, who is in
favor not only Of continuing the silver
dollar as a legal tender, but OF free coin
age, let every laboring man throughout
the length and breadth Of our broad land
remember that this desirable result can
only be accomplished through the cleo
ton Of u Democratic President uud Con-
gress, and that every vote given for
James q. Blaine in u vote for .he drbase.
Eirnt Of silver and the establishment Of
the single gold standard, thereby
placing silver on n par with pig iron. A
vote for Cleveland is n stab at the enc
mics OF silver. Let every miner OF Nevada
take notice, and govern himself accord
ingly.
