Following are the appeal and resolu-
tions:
We, the people Of Eureka county,
Nevada, in mass meeting assembled, re-
spectfully represent to the Congress Of
the United States that through it's legis.
lation heretofore, we have been invited
and encouraged to settle in this inhos-
pitabls section, and feeling that conf
dence which loyal citizens always en-
terrain in the benignity Of the General
Government, we have at great cost Of
money and labor, built for ourselves and
also for the general welfare Of the
Union, homes and industries which to-
day represent thirty years Of the most
valuable portions Of our lives.
We would also represent that NOT
alone our prosperity, but our very ex-
~istence, will be absolutely destroyed by
unfriendly legislation to our chief pro-
Quicksilver.
We do further represent that . repeal
OF the so.called Sherman Act without
the passage Of some measure providing
other adequate relief, will result In
encouragement, distress. disorder and
suffering beyond human imagination to
conceive, throughout Colorado, Idaho.
Arizona. Montana, Nevada, New Mexico
and Utah.
In former days the silver miners sp-
pesled for aid to none, but contributed
literally to all who were in need. Their
firm hands, strong arms and r~esolute
hearts made passageways through the
desert and over the ioftiest mountain
ranges Of the continent, and drew sus.
tenance and even fortune from the bow
els Of the earth. They were hardy Of
body, resolute Of purpose. but withal
tender of heart. No case Of want OF
suffering Wal presented to them in
vain. They helped, with purse in
hand, money or labor as the occasion
demanded. Whether the suffering
came from famine in Ireland, yellow
fever in the South, fire in Boston OF
Chicago or elsewhere they hesitAted
never to give freely, largely and gladly
Of their means to the sufferers.
But now the change Government
that should have fostered and pro.
tected has turned its unparental hand
in wrath upon them and wounded him
well nigh unto death, and when its
arm Is now appraised to strike the death
blow. they who never appealed before
send forth . prayer Of supplicatior to
those who have suffered in the South
and the Middle and West land, to aid
them In their dire extremity. They
make the appeal for aid, yet the aid IL
not to them only. II is to all men Of
labor. and to the men Of small and
moderate means in all lands. To re-
monesizs silver and thereby provide an
approximate, adequate circulating me-
dunn OF ultimate redemption will bene.
