The Republicans Of the State Of Nevada. in
Convection assembled, again express their 10y
atty to the principles Of the Republican party,
which have made this country 80 great and
prosperous during the last quarter ola century.
RESOLVED. That the question OF sufficient
supply Of circulating medium 10 maintain .
permanent mage Of the price Of labor and
property is the most important political ques-
ton awaiting solution by the American people.
That diminishing quantity Of money re-
duces the price Of labor and property, enriches
the creditor, impoverishes the debtor, and par.
slysea industry and enterprise.
That the present financial system OF the
United States. which increAses or diminishes
the circulating medium ct the pleasure OF the
mAniPulstors Of the national banks. without
regard to the increase Of population or the
wants Of the people. and which recognizes
gold alone ~ the standard OF value. and places
In the hnnds Of the Treasury Department all
the revenue Of the Government 10 spee,,-
lste with in bonds and loan to the national
banks without interest, 10 subyArsive Of the
rights OF the people, oppressive, unjust and
should be repudiated.
Thar financial policy whereby both gold and
silver ehall form the basis OF circulation,
whether the money used by the people be coiu,
or coin certificates redeemable In coin or both,
- convenience may require. Is imperifivels
demanded.
Tnat the attempt to substitute national bank
notes. costing the Goveramep; millions OF dol.
lars annually. for free silver. costing nothing,
u an Outrage upon the people; that the money
ring or trust, which has usurped the sovereign
power o. the Government to issue money. and
whsch hiss frauiulently denonetized silver and
setzsd the revenues Of the Government for
private speculation, shocks the moral sense Of
the people and destroys respect for the govern
ment and lAw. We demand that this ring or
trust y destroyed. and eqnsl rights be restored
to All the people.
We charge that President Cleveland is the
willing tool or agent Of powerful money ring
which fattens gu the subsidies Of the Govern.
ment, makes war on silver, Issues its paper cur
rehcy ct the expense OF the Government, Dor.
rows the revenues raised by taxation and uses
them without the payment Of interest, con-
sracts TO enhance the value Of bonds. and
enriches Insurers. while 1t deprerses the price
Of labor and properly.
1hAs we favor the nomination Of NO man for
President Who 10 personally interested in M.
tionai banks or the bonded Indebtedness of the
United States, but We demand . candidate who
