! PLATFORM AND kESOLJ HUNS.
The Republicans of the state of Nevada in
/ convention ssembled again express their 10y
atty TO the principals OF the Republican party,
which have made the country SO great ana
prosperous during the last quarter OF a cen
turV.
Resolued. That the question of a sufficient
| supply OF a r.ulating medium to maintain a
! permanent range of the price OF labor ana
! property Is the most important political ques-
! lion awaiting solution by the Ameri, an people.
Regolred, That diminishing quantity of
money reduces the price OF labor and property
! Increases the obligation OF contract enriches
the creditor, mpoverishe, the debtor and par
| alyses industry and enterprise.
Resotrcd, That the present financial system
of the United States, which increases or dlmln-
ishes the circulating medium at the pleasure OF
the manipulators OF the National banks, with
out regard to the increase of population or the
wants OF the people, and which recognizes gold
alone as the standard OF value, and places in
the hands of the treasury Department all the
revenue OF the Government to speculate with
in bonds and loan to National banks without
interest is subverSive OF the rights of the PEG
pie, oppressive, unjust, and should be repudl-
ated
Resolred That financial policy whereby
both gold and silver shall form the basis OF
circulation, whether the money used by the
people be coin, or in certificates redeemable in
coin, or both, as convenience may require, is
| imperatively demanded.
Resoiped. That the attempt to substitute Ma
tional bank notes, costing the Government mil
lions OF dollars annually, for free silver, cost
ing nothing, Is an outrage upon the people;
that the money ring or trust, which has userped
the s.yerei gu power of the Government to issue
money, and which has fraudulently demone-
TIED silver and seized the revenues of the Gov
eminent Tor private speculation, shocks the
moral sense OF the people and destroys respect
for Government and law. We demand that this
ring or trust he destroyed and equal rights re-
stored to all people.
Res0iucd, That we charge that President Gle
veaud is the willing tool or agent of a power
ful money ring which fattens the subsidies of
the Government, make, war on silver, issues
its paper currency at the expense OF the Gov
eminent bOrrOWs the revenues raised by taxa
interest, contracts the currency to enhance the
value OF bonds, and enriChe> the usurers while
it depresses the price OF labor and property.
Resolued, That we favor the nomination of
no man 1Or President who is personally inter
ested in National Banks or the bonded indebt-
edueas OF the United states, but we demand
candidate who is Tree TO do justice to all the
people OF the Countrywide poor well as the
rich.
Resolped, That the trickery of the President
and his advisers by which they prevented a
vote in the House of Representatives on the
Be silver amendment to the Bond purchasing
bill equals the vllainy OF the ret and fraud
ulent characterization OF silver in 1873.
IL

rion Of home iudu.try and that the labOrers Of
