this our minis would be flooded by sill

LOUD (oAL.l
said that the first aud most potent res-
sou why he should vote against the bill
was that, In the platform OF the Re-
publican party, there was rngfaftel u

state, In tho obligationa Of almost
every county, anu In all notes and con-
tracts were provisions making them

Of indignation ut the thought that the
silver miners would realize an en-.

The only men In Nevada ever called

engaged In producing more gold than
silver. IL was these Infamous miners
who had furnished the country over

the National debt md the balance Of

In this question than the silver miner.
The great bulk OF wheat sold In the

he did believe that Its general result
would be all In the line OF benefcence;
that 1t would encourage enterprise and
lead TO n more even distribution OF
wealth.

party one. II was utterly impossible
