Resolutions OF Sierra County
Republican Convention.

The representatives of the Republican
party of Sierra county, assembled in eoven-
tion this 18th day of september, 1884, in the
midst of our desolated and deserted mining
camps. condemn the Democratic Admins
tration tnat through vicious and unwise
legislation, have wrought such general and
wide spread ruin throughout our fair ana
favored land.
WE rejoice that one of the cardinal doc
trines of the Republican party sis the great
est good to the greatest number therefore,
we advocate and demand the immediate re-
storation of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to !, without dis
crimination against either metal, and with
out waiting for the cooperation OF any 9TH
er nation or nations.
WE hail with satisfaction the overwhelm-
ing bimetallIe sentiment that has been ere
ated throughout the entire world by the
eloquent and uaanswerable logic OF the
great Republican senators in the senate OF
the United States during the past year.
WE condemn the actions of Grover Cleve-
land, Democratic president of the United
| States, in calling an extra session OF Con
gress for the express purpse of destroying the
great silver mining industry by repeating the
SHERMAN SILVER PUCHAsE ACT, anc we
hold the Democratic party alone respon'
sible for the present depl orablC condition OF
the silver industry.
WE most heartily in dorse the great prin
ciple of the American protective tariff sys-
TEN as embodied in every platform OF the
National Republican party since 1856. In the
| language of the martyred Lincoln Tabor is
capital," and is entitled to the fullest pro-
lection, Protection to home industries has
been the leading doctrine of the Republican
party and of the country; under its benign
influence we have experienced a degree OF
prosperity unparalleled in the history OF any
Nation. 1t has been the glory and salvation
of the Nation. Shall we go on gathering the
grand results of protection, or shall we con-
tinue the present depressing and destructive
experiment of "tariff for revenue" and
repeat the disaster and distress OF 1887 aud
1857.
WE deplore the effect of the present Demo
cratic and Populistic pop gun" tariff bills
of the SD congress upon the wool industry
of New Mexico, an industry that under Re-
publican tariff laws had become our largest
and most remunerative. We look upon the
act of congress, with the approval and con-
sent of Antonio Joseph, placing wool upon
the free list, as a base betrayal of and
crime against the people of New Mexico, and
we demand it's full restoration and protec-
ton as product of our people.
WE protest against the extravagant and
non American conduct of the present Ma
tional Democratic Administration, by and
through which the dignity ofthe high office of
president has been lowered, and its author
ity most wantonly exceeded; and we hereby
denounce the said administration in issuing
interest bearing bonds in times of profound
peace as unwise ,unjustifable and without a
parallel in the history of the Nation.
WE denounce the act of the Populist men,
bers of Congress in voting as unit to de-
stroy the wool industry of New Mexico, and
at the same time voting to place a tax of
forty-three millions of dollars per annum
upon the breakfast table of the working
man in the interest OF the great Sugar trust
a corporation that is charged with bribing
the Democratic party by furnishing its cam
paign committee with the magnificent sum
of five hundred Thousand dollars in 1892.
WE deplore the action of the Democratic
party in Congress in delaying statehood fol-
New Mexico until after the election as base
4 partizanship, unworthy the dignity and
honor of any state or national political
party.
WE recognize that prosperity in the east
+ means pros osperttY for the whole country
0 and renewal of investment in New Mexico
0 mines, lands and other enterprises; there
fore we view with alarm the declaration o
President Cleveland that the Democratic
war upon industrial industries is to be re
: newed regardless of it's depressing effec
: upon commercial enterprise and productive
labor of every description.
. WE condemn as infamous the policies .
II the offic ials of Democracy, appointed owe
/. New Mexico in an administrative capacity
4 without our consent and approval, who
=, came upon us like a devastating pestilenct
resulting in the destruction of life and pro
: perty.'
u The policy of W. T. Thornton, governor
7, whose advocacy of free wool and free lead
IS DESTROYS our productive energies withil
= New Mexico and misrepresents us abroat
q whose summary, unjust and stealthy re
moval of republican officials to gain TIN
u vain and vicious ends of Democracy is espe
d cially condemned.
IL WE appeal to all good citizens re9ardles
9r of former political Affiliations to unite wit
81 the republican party in redeeming the coun
n try, restoring confidence, giving peace to in
dustry, contentment to the people and pros
ie perity to the great mass of our people an
ID the Nation.
