Resolutions of Sierra County
Republican Convention.

THE representatives of the Republican
party Of Sierra county, assembled in eoven-
ton this 18th day of September, 1894. in the
midst Of our desolated and deserted mining
camps. condemn the Democratic Admins.
%tration that through vicious and unwise
legislation. have wrought such general and
widespread ruin throughout our fair and
favored land.
WE rejoice that one of the cardinal doc.
trines Of the Republican party "is the great
est good to the greatest lumber therefore,
we advocate and demand the immediate re-
storation of the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver at the ratio of Is to l. without dis
elimination against either metal. and with
out waiting foi the cooperation of any 9th.
or nation or nations.
We hail with satisfaction the overwhelm.
ing bimetalllc sentiment tha has been Gre
ated throughout the entire world by the
eloquent and uaanswerabie logic of the
great Republican senators in the senat OF
the Unitei States during the past year.
WE condemn the actions of Grover Cleve.
land, a Democratic president of the United
States, in calling an extra session of Con
gress for the express purpsc of destroying the
great silver mining industry by repeating the
SHERMAN SILVER PUcHAsE ACT, and we
hold the Democratic party alone respon.
sible for the present deplorable condition of
the silver industry.
WE most heartily indorse the great prin
ciple of the American protective tariff sys.
tenn as embodied in every platform of the
National Republican party since 1856. In the
language of the martyred Lincoln labor 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 a ''tariff for revenue and
repeat the disaster and distress OF 1887 and
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
acto congress, with the approval and con-
sent of Antonio Joseph, placing wool upon
the free list, as a base betrayal of and a
crime against the people of New Mexico, and
we demand its full restoration and protec-
ton as a product of our people.
WE protest against the extravagant and
non American conduct of the present Ma
tional Democratic Administrator, by and
through which the dignity of the 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, unjustifiable and without o
parallel in the history OF the Nation.
WE denounce the act of the Populistmem
. bers of Congress in voting as a 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 10y furnishing its cam
/, paign committee with the magnificent sun
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
partizanship, unworthy the dignity and
honor of any state or national political
party.
WE recognize that prosperity in the east
means prosperity for the whole country
+. and renewal of investment in New Mexico
Hines, lands and ether 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 its depressing effect
n upon commercial enterprise and productive
labor of every description.
WE condemn as infamous the policies o
the officials of Democracy, appointed ovel
New Mexico in. un administrative capacity
without our consent and approval, who
came upon US like a devastating pestilenct
resulting in the destruction of life and. pro
lperty.
The policy of W T.. Thornton, governor
whose advocacy of free wool aud free lead
destroys our productive energies within
New Mexico and misrepresents us abroad
c whose summary, unjust and stealthy re
moval of republican officials to gain tn,
vain and vicious ends of Democracy, is espe
cially condemned.
WE appeal to all good citizens, REGARDLESS
of former political affiliations to unite will
the republican party in redeeming the coun
try, restoring confidence, giving peace to in
dustry, contentment to the people and pros
perity to the great mass of our people AM
3 the Nation.
