to enact laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That tho restoration
of silver to the place it ? ?'aapied
previous TO the passage "a the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The Legislation
which robbed silver ef its raCney
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize th2 coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age of silver upon the same con.
ditions which apply to the coinage
Of geld, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequ.vocally
in favor CT opening the Airts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. =

titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti.
zation of silver, tits convention

senting the true issue between the

ers and laborers and producers OF
