The Lyon County Silver League,
In convention assembled, for the
purpose of considering and devising
means and measures for the advance
ment of the great and beneficisnt
| cause of Bimetalism, against the in
satiable greed and insidious craft Of
band of money conspirators whose
! sole object is the enhancement of the
value of their boarded gold, by the
complete destruction of silver as
money metal throughout the civil
lied world, and as this stuPendous
poverty producing and misery null
tiplying policy is announced as the
conspicuous object of consumation

States, and
WHEREAS, The two old parties,
known as the Democratic and Re
publican Parties, have both repudi-
ated silver as money, and Cleveland +,
has followed in the foot steps of |
Harrison on the financial question,
the present head Of the government
going so far as to defy all laws Of
Congress, and using all lis influence
to prejudice public sentiment on the
silver question, and

portance in selecting the right men

of the United States, Grover Cleve-
land, seem determined to repeal the
only law now existing authorizing the
purchase Of silver, thereby destroy

the world, making tramps of 100000
mechanics and laborers in the silver
producing States and territories, and
creating widespread distress and
poverty throughout said States and
territories; now, therefore, be it

the Sherman Silver Act, .
are hereby requested never to surren- t

battle for the people the world has
ever witnessed-the free coinage of
silver at the ratio Of Is to /, first, :
the repeal of the Sherman Act,
second.
Resolved, That We earnestly en- c
treat all advocates of the free coinage g
Of silver, to firmly insist upon its c
restoration to the position
held by it as money metal prior to q
1873, and that we are opposed to all r
expedients as subter- t
fuges designed by our enemies to s
prevent the realization of our hopes.
Resolved, That we insist upon a
vigorous American financial policy,
free from the obsequious Difference
to European dictation so subservient-

money metals from the dawn of his
