II.
We arraign the Democratic
administration Of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. 1t promised
economy ana retrenchment, and
has been most eXtravagant in
expenditures and appropriations,
which. for the current year,
largely exceed the abundant
revenues of the Government. 1t
promised to reduce the surplus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus 10 lie idle and ac-
emulate TO the injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of a large majority of both
Houses of Congress directing
that such surplus be applied in
payment of the interest-bearing
debt Of the country. 1t prom
ised to care for and give atten-
ton to the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuous veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow Of tech
nical objection. 1t promised to
protect the person and property
of citizens both at home and
abroad, and to maintain he dig
nifty Of the nation, yet in its re-
lations with Grert Britain il has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
property, and has permitted our
flag to be insulted, without
proper protest, almost in sight
Of our shores, while by hasty and
unseemly action it has unneces-
sarily jeopardized our friendly
with the Mexican Re
public, and made our nation
in the eyes of the
world It's evasion of civil ser
vice reform, to which its leading
representatives are pledged,
have been bold, insOlent and
IaWleSs. 1t has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
arM0ng its first acts of admins
tration, it closed the L. S. Mint
in Carson City, ia utter violation
Of the law, TO the great detri-
rlent Of every miner and silver |
producer in this State in partic-
ular, and of the public in gem
eral. 1t has seriously impaired |
our mail facilities without shad-
DIV of just excuse. 1t has out
ragged the express will of Con-
gress, and denied to this people |
their rights by its unexplained |
and continued refusal to execute |!
the law for the erection of a
Government Building in the |
Capital of the State. 1t has !
used the entire power Of the ad-
to destroy silver as
money, and by a refusal to exc
cute the law and pay out silver
Ior Government dues has kept |
he metal out of circulation, and |
oy various devices it has re-
luced the price of silver since
he Inauguration of President |
Cleveland more than Is per
cent. 1t has closed many of our
silver mines, and thrown thous-
lnds of honest laborers out of
We favor a tariff upon the i'm
ported products of low-priced |;
oreign labor SO as to protect the
interests of American wage
yerkers, and for the develope-
nent of American industries.
We demand in behalf Of our
mining interests the aainten-
nee of the DrpSent tariff IN load |
