cause its careful consideration by all
interested. We reproduce it to-day,
hoping that cur contem poraries of
both parties will at least echo its
sentiments:
WE notice in recent dispatches tina,
the Hon. c. n. FELTON,, Senator from
California, takes up the cudgels against
silver aud delivers himself of an
opinion unfavorable To the interest
which is OF vital importance to the
people of Nevada. In fnct the greater
portion Of the California delegation
appear to be unfavorable to the in
terests of Nevada. This is causing
considerable comment among our pee
pie, and the general Impression and
feeling is that under the circumstances
1t is the duty of our representatives in
Congress to oppose and antagonize any
and all appropriations or legislation
which will favor California, either up
on the debris question or improve
ments of any kind.
1t is rapidly being demonstrated
that the people of the silver States
must stick together and fight THEN op-
ponents upon all questions in order 10
obtain any relief, and the time is ripe
for such action.
Party lines are rapidly being wiped
away.
Nevada can no longer be looked up
on as sure Republican State. Unless
the Republican party redeems its
pledges on the silver question at this
session of Congress the people will
vote for the party which gives the
strongest and best assurances of favor
able action IN this matter.
Mr.. Harrison has not fulfilled his
pledges. He was elected on plat
form containing good silver plank,
but its provisions and his promises ale
not and have not been carried cut.
Under such circumstances, fealty to
any party or maA who needs not our
cries of distress would be the vilest
servitude.
Do not he deceived 10 this matter.
Partisan journals are beginning TO
howl the merits of their respective
parties upon this question, and some
20 10 the extent of secouding the action
of the gold men by advocating delay,
but there is streng undercurrent
among the people that they must not
be trifled with longer.
The party with the strongest ard
best silver plank, and with candidates
on it that will do as they premise will
gel the electoral vote of Nevada at the
next presidential election.
California above all other States
should assist and help us in this fight
Millions of money have been poured
into California by this State. The
majority ct the fine buildings Of San
Francisco were built with money made
in Nevada, and now. when our State
is at its lowest ebb, when our fight is
almost fight for existence, she turns
her back on us and through some of
her representatives strikes blow at
us coveruy and unexpectedly The
wheat growers of California would be
materially assisted if silver was at par !;
they weuld be getting $2.l0 to $215
for their wheat instead OF $1.55 and
81 so per 100 lbs, and this would ex-
pand the trade of San Francisco mer-
chants aud manufacturers and assist
in all lines oil trade
Most of the supplies and machinery
used in the State of Nevada are drawn
from San Francisco, and an expansion
of silver mining and its attendant in
dustries means an expansion of the
trade of San Francisco merchants and
manufacturers. And San Francisco,
cut eff, as it is, in its trade at Redding
on tho north, and Bakersfield on the
south, and limited to Ogden on the
east, needs all the trade, traffic and
enterprise it can crowd into Its present
cireumscribed territory to maintain
its present position, let alone advanc-
ing.
Now, with all these reasons why
California should assist us in this fl ght
the question arises, why doesn't she 2"
Because the majority of her represen.
tstives are not representatives of her
interests, but Of their ewn; they are
wealthy men, and thus easily ap-
preached and imbued with the ideas
of the gold ring controlled by Eng
land. Their personal interests are OPP
