lie has maintained the peace and
dignity of the nation, has upheld
Public Credit; has reduced public ex-
penses; has restored millions OF acres
10 the public domain, and has imparti-
ally enforced the laws throughout the
length aud breadth of the land.
Under his wise aud benificent all
ministratien The whole country is en-
ioying remarkable prosperity and AL
sectional feeling has been obiterated.
The Democracy of Nevada recon-
mend his denomination, and invite all
liberal-minded men, irrespective Of

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
We fully approve Of the efforts of the
Democratic Representatives in Con-
gress to perform the pledge made by
the last National Democratic Conven-
tion To reform and remove taxes, to
the end that the labor of the country
he relieved of onerous and unnecessary
burdens.
We denounce the present tariff sys-
TEN. which creates an annual surplus
of $l55, ,000. 900 in the National Treas
ury by taxing the every day necessi-
ties of our farmers, miners and laborers
for the benefit of protected Eastern
manufacturers 50 for every dollar
that goes into the Trcaury, and which
does not protect the laborer. We de-
clare that taxation should be limited
to the requirements of governments,
and that the burden of taxation should
rest upon those who use iuxuries ra-
ther than upon those who use only the
necessaries of life.
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the coinage of silver now
enjoyed by gold, or, in lieu thereof,
the right of deposits IN all of the
Mints of gold and silver bullion, for
which certificates shall be issused
payable in coin in the same manner
that United States notes are now pay
able; said certificates to be legal
tender for all debts, and the depositor
to be entitled to receive in certificates
of such denomination as he prefers
one dollar for every twenty-five and
eight-tenths grains of standard gold
and one dollar for every four hundred
and twelve and half grains of stand
ard silver so deposited, and we instruct
the delegates appointed by this Con-
vention TO the National Democratic
Convention to use all honorable efforts
to have this resolution adopted as part
ofthe platform of the National Con-
vention.
We congratulate the people of this
State that the Republican party, in its
convention lately assembled at Winnie.
mucca, in its false charge against the
President of the United States, has
been obliged to resort to all records OF
the Republican party in its infamous
decentralization of silver as an illustra-
tion in its attempt to sustain its false
charges.
