Reso we'd, That the festoratfon

previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations The legislation

Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which q ply to the mage of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
| dempttutsor Ayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money TO monopoi ize th3 coin OF
the CONNER cial world.

Nevada are in favor of the COIN
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
