The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1890-09-27

Silver has always been cast by Democrats,
and the bulk Of votes against silver have
invariably come from the Republican party.
AT the present session of Congress the Dom
ocratie Sen ators. with the aid of a few West
ern members. forced a free coinage measure
and the Democrats, with the aid OF a score
of Republicans from the silver States, would
have forced IL through the House but Tor the
active intervention of President Harrison,
Sneaker Reed and Boss" Quay. The Silver
Blll that was adopted was passed merely TO
prevent free coinage. only 10 hepubllcan
Senators and congressman Voted tor the Free
Coinage Bill. aud l63 OF them voted against
the bill while 1874 Democrats voted for 1t
and % against it. In other words 81 per
cent. of the Republicans voted against silver,
while 81 per cent. of the Democrats vote for 1t.
SUMMING UP.
Such is recital of the infamous deeds of
tho once honored party. which the lofty ana
immortal Sumner, Seward and Chase and
Greeley and Phillips and Adams organized
and led 10 victory, and which they and each
Of them abandoned and spurDed more than
twenty Years ago; which to-day, orrupted
and dishonored, and recreant 10 every prih-
ciple which made IL glorious, has fallen nm
der the degenerate leadership of Tom Reed.
Mat Quay and BLOCKS Of Five Dudley. and
a lot OF bosses, money-bags and mounte-
banks too contomptible to mention.
THE FORCE BILL.
We denouncc and condemn the Republican
majority in the national House of Represcn-
tatives for the passage of the infamous Force
bill, by which that majority, masqueradlng
uuder the guise OF a free ballot and fair count,
seeks to perpetnate itself in power by insidi-
ousy destroying the liberties of American
citizens, usnrping the legitimate functions OF
State Governments and bringing the reoefai
m Machinery into intermedibie conflict and
collision with the statutory rights OF the
people of the various commemorative OF
the Union. We hold that this species OF
Federal interference with the people In ne
registration of their sovereign will 10 des-
potic and centralizing in its tendencies; dan
gerous to abe liberty, peace and prosperity
of the people; and direct contraYention Oh
the principles OF free Govern ment as be
queathed TO us by the trainers OF the constr
tuition. For these crimes the Republican
party of the State is in part responsible and
wholly responsible for greater legal oifenees.
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Republican party Of this state began
its career of dishonor and rain In lofli when
our wealth and population were more than
double hat they are to-day, when our yet
undeveloped silver industry gave greater
nromise than on any other part vi the earth,
when the state was hOnored and our people
respected wherever known, and when We
had reason To hope that Nevada would De-
come one of the grandest, the richest anu
most populous OF the great sisterhood OF
States Our hopes have been blasted and
overthoyn In the interest OF oillce=seekerH
the Republican party of Nevada has crsated
unnecessary offices, manipulated deputyships
and established extrasagant ices and unpre-
cedcnted salaries.
CALIFORNIA PREFERRED TO NEVADA.
II has enacted laws and Instituted u sYs-
tenn of business which enriched and popuh-
ted the State OF California. at the cost OF the
State of Nevada; which made il more profit

cisco than in Nevada. or the hundreds of

ABUSE OF TnE LAND LAWS.

sold in small holdings 10 settlers. have becn
contracted 10 fppctil AtOrs auu cattle HI - IN
tracts large enough for counties. and IN piece

are camps for the COWS.
DECREASE OF WEALTH AND POPULATION.
Our population which was 5000 in 1861.
and which should have boen D0,UD0 by now.
has decreased TO 5000, and orr taxable wealth
which should be SiU00D1,Vo0 is less than
S25,nO,0O0.
RoBBIsG THE SCHOOL FUND.
The Republican party has robbed tho
School fund solemny dedicated 10 the educa-
ton OF our children aud substituted for the
money worthless promise, which il pro-
yides shall never be paid.
Under its management eur industries have
beeE paralyzed and are no longer profitable;
taxes have increased until IN many places
property is yalneless: immigration has
ceased and the State is is boiIg depodulated.
IMPORTED SENATOR'S.
II has so often imported candidates for
Office into the State. so often exposed the
great Office Of Senator for sale, so often cor
rupted the ballot box that we have beon
stigmatizod ~ the 'rotten borough" and have
beco ne a byword and reproach and stencil in
tho nostrils Of the English speaking people.
To correct these wrongs and reform these
abuses Is the mission of tho Democratic party
and to tho accomplishment Of this great work
we solemnly pledge ourselves.
