The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1886-10-02

Of civil service reform, TO which its leading
| representatives are pledged, have been bold,
inso,ent and lawless. 1t has shown itself no
| friend of Nevada, because among its first acts
of administration, Its closed the u $. Mint
in Carson City, In utter violation Of the law,
and to the great detriment of every miner
and silver producer In this State In par
tieular, and Of the public in general. 1t has
seriously i'm paired our mail facilities without
shadow of just excuse. 1t has outraged the
express will OF Congress, and denied to the
people their rights by its unexplained and
continual refusal TO execute the Jaw enacted
for the erection Of Government build
ing in the Capital OF the State. II has used
the entire power of the administration to de-
stroy silver money, and by a refusal to exc
cnte the law and pay out silver for Government
dues has kept the metal ont of circulation,
and by various devices il has reduced the price
OF silver since the Inauguration of President
Cleveland ID per cent. 1t has closed many Of
our SILVER mines, and thrown thousands of hon
est laborsrs out of employment
We favor tariff upon the imported pro-
ducts of low-priccd foreign labor 30 As to
protect the interests of American wagework-
ers, and for the development of American
Industries. We demand in behalf of our min
ing interests the maintenance OF the present
tariff on lead, torax, soda and other mineral
productions, and on behalf of our wool-grow
ing interests a restoration of the wool tariff of
1885,, and We dsnounce the recent attempt Of
tempt OF the Democratic majority in the Ma
tional House of Representatives to pass the
Morrison bill reducing the tariff on the pro-
duct Of our mines aud placing wool on the free
list.
We believe In American soil for American
American citizens, and are opposed TO nom
resident aliens becoming land owners. The
publ domain should be reserved as home
eteads for actual settlers, and the accumula-
ton of large tracts or bodios OF land in the
hands Of OF corporations or individuals should
be discouraged, and IN the case of land grants
TO railroad corporations where the corpora
tons have failed 70 comply with the cond-
tions of The grants The land should be for
feited 10 the General Government, aud held
for tie benefit OF actual settlers.

We favor the intelligent organization of
labor for such worthy purposes mutual
education and fer the protecti0a OF Their in
terests in all things relating 10 their welfare

| by methods OF voluntary arbitration, or by the
establishment oil Courts Decentralization, which
Wi II avoid the waste. loss and illfeeling result

zeus vi this State for loss sustained in the
