There is only q way to bring good

come from the free coinage Of silver.
The State Of Nevada took the wisest
course taken by any Of the mining
States. Prominent men Of those States
have told me that they regretted that
their States did not take the same 40

this question as did the Home Rulers.
We propose peaceful revolution. Not
by the whole people. but by . majority
Of them. Not only do we share with the

Mr.. Newlands was listened TO through.
out his entire speech with marked atten-
tion. and was frequently greeted with
applause.
Hon. Thos. Wren, our fellow towns
man. was then introduced by the Chair
man and spoke As follows;
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
What is the duty Of the hour politi-
cslly. We all alike feel the depres-
sion caused by the almost total de-
struotion Of our chief industry by ad-
verse legislation. The farmer has only
9 limited home market for bis produce
and In most Of the counties Of the
State market outside Of the State.
The laborer no longer finds steady en-
ployment and every branch Of business
carried on in our towns and cities 10
suffering from the general depression.
Property values have fallen from so TO
IS per cent. Lands in our beautiful
valleys that would be worth 500 an
acre with an active home market are
probably not worth more than $50 or
500 IN scre now, and in many other
| portions Of the State ranches can
scarcely be given away. What is the
remedy! Manifestly Legislation that
will rebuild d chief industry. How
is this TO be secured! Our Republi-
can friends tell rs that our only hope
for silver lies in the Republican party.
Will our Republican friends inform rs
how they expect to secure favorable
legislation for silver from the Republi-
can party. The South Ia almost SOL
idly in favor Of free coinage. There ID
practically no Republican party In the
South, and no Republican aid to silver
can be expected from that quarter.
The West is pretty equally divided be.
tween the Democrats and Republicans,
with the Peoples party . strong third
party. and our Republican friends can
expect bat little help for silver from
that quarter. Where. then, must they
look for help for silverf Only from the
Eastern and Middle States. and in those
States the Republicans are solidly OPP
posed to silver. Two yssrs ago our Re-
publican friends told NJ that the only
hope for silver Wal 10 the Rspubliosn
party. and 10 the intervening two years
since the Republican members Of Con-
Rrsss almost TO Q man voted 10 wipe out
the one vsstias Of silver legislation on
our statute books and against the coin

ury. To make matters still worse either
Mckinley or Reed will be the Rspubli-
can candidate for President. Both are
pronounced and virulsns enemies Of free
coinage. The election Of either would
mean six more years Of hopeless misery
for the people Of Nevada. and yet We
are told that the only hope for silver ID
10 the Republican party. II that be %
the Lord have mercy on silver.
Ny Republican friend, II you are not
. candidate for . State or county office
and do not expect to be appointed Con-
sui to the Fegee Islands. U. 8. Sur
vsyor General. U. 8. Marshal or Post
mater, divsst yourself for an hour Of
party prejudice and weigh these facts
well. I have great confidence In your
judgment. unbiased by party feeling.
and believe You. too. will join the silver
ranks and work for the interest Of the
State. Of the whole people. and for your
interest and my interest instead Of the

II is scarcely worth while to address
our Democratic friends. Two years agc
they nesrly all joined the Silver party.
This year we expect to make . clean
