of silver to the place 1t o'cLpied
previous TO the passage Ga the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to all other political
consid derations. The legislarion
q which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the sar = coined into money upon
the sora- terms and conditions
which d ply to the Coinage of gold.
| reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoize tho coin Of
the commercial world.

Nevada are ia favor OF the COIN
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
of gold, and they are opposed TO
elevating any person to office who
