free government are now n
corded in history as the work {
the Republican party. Unior
liberty, equality, and protect
i've tariff, have largely contrib
uted in making 60,O00,000 &
people the best fed, the bes
clothed, the happiest, the mos
intelligent and powerful tha
ever existed on earth. The ele
vatiOn Of labor by the abolition
of slavery and the utter repudi
ation of caste and aristocracy b,
the Republican party has openet
to free men ana free labor ever!
acre of land within the jurisdic
loan of the United States, ant
tenbled the toiling millions o

associate in enc common broth
erhood for the protection O
their. rights and the advance
ment Of their Intellectual snd
material prosperity.
II.
We srraign the Democratic
administration af President
Cleveland for having failed tu
keep the pledges Oh which it
came int power. Ii promised
economy and 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 to lie idle and ac-
cumulate to the injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of large majsrity of both
Houses Of Congress directing
that such surplus be applied in
payment Of the intcrest-beariug
debt Of the country. 1t prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptusus 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 ut home and
abroad, and to maintain he dig
nifty of the nation, yet in its re-
latiens with Grert Britain it has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
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
ridiculous in the eyes of the
Its 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,
among its first acts Of admins
trA!ion, it closed the U. s. Mint
IN Carson City, ia utter violation
Of the law, to the great detri-
Clent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
llar, and Of the public in gen
aral. 1t has seriously impaired
our mail facilities without shad-
)w Of just excuse. 1t has out
ragged the express will of Con-
yress, and denied to this people |
their rights by its unexplained |
and continued refusal to execute |
the law for the erection of u
Government Building in the
Capital Of the State. 1t has
used the entire power VI the ad-
te destroy silver as
and by Il refusal to exc
.ute the law and pay out silver
Tor Government dues has kept |
he metal out of circulation, and /
)y various devices it has re-
iuced the price Of silver since
he Inauguration Of President
Cleveland more than Is per
cent. 1t has closed many nf our
silver mines, aud thrown thous-
lnds OF honest laborers out of
employment.
III.
We favor a tariff upon the inn
ported products Of low-priced
oreign labor so as to protect the
interests of American wage
workers, and for the deyelope-
nent Of American industries.
