Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-12-20

pons: between the humble home of
the peasant and sumptuous paiace
of the Shvlock. Such a contest
may be long, and on the part OF
the banks will surely be desperate,
but the result can never be doubt
full.
Trusting that you may succeed
in convincing the powers at Wash
ington that portion of the United
Staacs is located west Of Buffalo, |
remain Most Sincerely Yours,
J. H. RAND.

II. S. MASON: Dear .Si1-Your
communication of the It'll inst, is at
hand.
Business engagements will pre-
vent me from taking a part In the
important meeting of the 18th inst.
[ recognize the great injustice
done to our State and the Coast by
the closing of the Carson Mint an
act which I am free to confess is
not political act but one which is
done as part of the fight made by
the capital of the country land par
ticularly in the Eastern States)
against the laboring and industrial
interests. Hoping that something
beneficial to the community at large
may come out Of your praiseworthy
endeayors.
| am yours resp.
r. H. LINDSAY.

H. S. MASON: Dear Str-Cir-
cumstances over which | have no
control prevent my attending the
meeting of your Committee. L
trust you will have a large meeting
and one that will benefit the silver
question. [ will respectfully call
YOUR attention to Senate memorial
and joint resolution No. l. Rela-
ting to the continued coinage OF
silver, which [ think expresses the
idea Of every citizen Of our State.
Wishing you success, l am yours

H. S. MASON: Dear Sir-Your
kind invitation to attend the Cltl-
zens' meeting to take into consider
alton the prorriety of presenting a
memorial to the President OF the
United States, asking that the Car
son Mint be re-opened duly re-
ceived. While | regret exceeding
" that circumstances will not per-
NIT me to attend, | assure you that
my sympathies and feelings are In
accord with the object of the meet
iDg, | can see no improperly in
such a course; on the contrary be-
lieve that it is the duty of the peo-
pie to memorable the President,
stating our grievances in such a
manner as will convince him that a
great injustice has been done to
the people of Nevada.
So far as my observation has
gone, the people feel that Nevada
has not had fair show, and they
cannot see why it is that a Mint es-
tablished and located almost in the
center of gold and silver produc-
ing country should be closed, and
our mines be compelled to ship
their bullion to distant MINIS at
great expense, while MINIS in non
producing districts are kept open.
They think that somebody has
been direlect of their duty. AS
for myself [ am in the same situa-
ton as the farmer who was hauling
a load Of apples up steep hill.
The end gate of his wagon coming
out. when he arrived at the top of
the hill he had not a single apple
left in his wagon. The farmer was
somewhat given to profane Ian
guage, but he threw up his hands
and only said he'd be ID if he
could do the subject justice.
With my best wishes for the sue
cess of your efforts, l remain
Yours,
J. L. SMITH.
