Some Strong Views on the Present
Situation.

|
The following resolutions were in
troduced at the Silver meeting on
Saturday night by Judge Healy, but
not until after the other resolution.
were adopted. By request of many
present they are published in tn,
APPEAL.
Resolved, That gold and silver ael
the moneys of the Constitution ano
that both metals should be equally
entitled to free coinage al
the legal ratio of 16 to /. That gold
Is the money of less than twenty
per cent, while silver is the money
of more than eighty per cent of the
population of the world. That to
strike down silver as a money metal
would be an atrocious crime-a crime
against honesty, liberty and human
ity. 1t would be the legalized rob
berry by dishonest Shylocks, one half
of the property of the country, and
of ons-half of the wages of labor
Resolved, That it was the silver
and gold of the State of Nevada that
saved the Republic by sustaining its
credit: for even then the danger was
far less from rebel arms than from
the sordid Vaccinations of the re
money changers, those
human vultures who batten and fat
ten on the misery of the country,
no whit better than those whom the
Saviour sc0urged from the temple.
Resolved, That the causes that
led to the late civil war in 1861 were
light and trivial in comparison with
the results that must inevitably be
brought about if the Sherm an bill is
without some other mea sure
Of relief being enacted in its stead.
The slaves laboring in the Territ cries
ould only degrade free labor to the
evel of slave labor i'll proportion to
he number of slaves imported; even
f all slaves were brought into the
rec States it meant competition with
,nly four millions for thao was the
otal number of slaves: but Ameri-
AN and foreign Shylocks propose to |
lrag down sixty-fye millions of |
Americans to the level Of effete East |
,ians by contracting the circu-
ating media" to a single stand |
I'd, thereby putting our 60 millions
f people in competition with 400 |
Millions Of servile East India rice |
aters, who live well on few cents
'er day. To strike down silver
means cheap wheat, cheap cotton and !
heap wages.
Resolved, That it is the duty of
he Government to supply volume
f money sufficient to do the bust
less Of the country; that according to
more than 90 of the bust
ess is done with checks and that all
f the gold, silver and paper is less
han two per cent of the amount used
4 said business.
Resolved, That to contract the
Money circulation would be crime
gainst justice, honesty, liberty and
1t would be a practical
ontiscation of property because it
-ould lessen it's value.
Resolved, That we need new
declaration of Independence, which
i'll free america from the financial
ictation of European powers. That
lis Republic is strong enough to
ave financial policy of its own,
hich will insure the blessings and
lie rights that should be the natural
,sult of Republican form of gov
Resolved, That our only relief lies
| the passage and enforcement of an
ct for the free and unlimited coin
se of silver, and we earnestly re- !
dest an American Congress to grant
lis measure of justice and relief to
lie distressed and plundsred people
the Republic
