PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.
The representatives of the Republican party Of
the State of Nevada, in convention assembled,
enter upon the campaign of 1894 with no aim save
the good of the State and Nation, dsvoteu 10 the
best interests Of ALL firm in the conviction OF tne
iuatice of their cause and supremacy conndent |
that while the minds Of men may, ct times Dc
blinded by passions and the teachings Of false
prophets, they cannot remain permanently CLOUD
ed and that the right will ultimately prevail.
FRsr-The "silver question" is by FAR the most
important issue before the people of this country
to-day. We believe that the Destruction OF tne
true standard of value by the decentralization OF
silver in 1878 was grave wrong to every silver
mining State and Territory in the Union; tnat IL
increased the burden Of all debts and enriched the
that it paralyzed the productive energies OF the
| entire country depressed business OF every Klno
except that Of money lending, and that tnere can
be no permanent r.turn OF prosperity " ous ts
country until silver shall have been restored 10 lts
| full use and highest position as money metal
and as tho only perfect mode Of so restoring u We
| demand the free and Unlimited coinage OF ootn
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 ounces OF silver TO
| I ounce of gold with full legal tender functions
accorded to each and no discrimination agaihs.
| either This action we demand oy the o oniteu
states acting independently and wholly regardless
| of what any other nation may may not do. we
hereby rIedge our candidate for Congress and re.
| ouest our United States Senators to make tne
question of silver paramount 10 & eHerg Itne a TO
treat it as strictly ncn-partlsan, whch ~ lsi W
hold til mseves free from oil party dlctatloh con-
cernnp 1t, and to use all honoraole means ~
bring about its complete restoration at the oia
time ratio of 16 to l.
SrcoND-We believe that under any monetary
system that can be adopted the protection OF the
American producer against the blighting anu ue,
structiye competitor of cheap labor ABROAD IL also
matter Of vast importance to the great pody Oh tne
American people. Upon this question we are IN
hearty accord with the principles OF the NatlonSi
Renublican Marty We believe that the WOOL
grower, the silver-lead miner, the sulphur miner
the borax maker and all other producers are emu
, tied to live as BELTS American freeman, wtnout
being brought down to the wage ievei anu anu ,orid
TBIRD-We arraign Senator stewart ior MS tall
ure to vote on the motion to strike OUT the oiner
ential duty refined sugar, thus not only sho%,n

but falling to kill at o blow the obnoxious mlisol
BILL which Is now threatening the very exstine W
some of the most important Industries IN the s.a.
of Nevada, including that OF WOOL proaucLloL
I which even now furnishes subsistence to larg
number Of our people. ...
9 FouRrH-We recognize the fact that If the iabG
market is overstock edit there are millions OF lo
men clamoring for work. the employer IS gwen !
undue advantage, and despite the best directed an
. hest intended efforts of labor organizatlonto 10 pr
:. vent it, the price of labor is bouud TO fall: =,
q This condition exists generally throughout VI
n United States at the present time, ana IL laIee
owing, as we believe, to the vast tide OF immisr
II ton constantly rolling into the country. lhei
a fore we favor wise rest iction OF immtgration-
u in the spirit of prejudice not upon the theory IN
q the resnect able foreigner is an unworthy perso

market ,nd insuring to the American cltize

We hereby demand that our Representatives

to tiopai Labor Arbitration Law, providing iuliy
the adjustment of such differences as may 81
DO between labor and its employer, and ciothing 81

nenaI causes az will enable those interested
Compel compliance with its provisions.
We also favor the creation OF a sta'e boar'

kS S1xTH-We demand the immediate sna unco' M

SEyrNTu-We solemly declare that the atti'
Of the silver party OF this state presents

of truth and in fact there IL no sentiment IN tne
