The history Of the movement Tor the resto-a-
Nor, of bimetallism is tho glorious story OF Ne
vada's leadership. The cdu"atlonai Work so
patriotically undertaken six years ago has
Eread throughout the entire country. On the
Ssrya that the value of money is quantitative
and not uualita i've, the intellectual and pohti-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
ful of her glorious record Nevada VIII take her
place again in the conflict not as the ally OF
Gold. but on the side OF those VINO stIuseie III
the fields of adversely.
We reafirm our devotion to the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio OF l6 10
BY the independent action of the United states
snd we are unaIterably opposed to the Repub.
ucan policy Of increasing the bonded debt; OF
transferring the sovereign power OF the gov
u " lpShC hCASJ
ttons: of contracting the circulating medium
70 the single gold standard, and of increasing
taxation while contraction Is diminishing The
means Of payment.
Our faith in the loyalty. ability, and wise lead
srship Of William J. Bryan is undiminished
And we NJ edict for the silver forces of the Uni
ted States, with l6 to l as their motto, an
William J. Bryan as their standard bearer Al
overwhelming victory in 1910.
We invite the cooperation Of the Republican
party of Nevada who declared IN their pia
form Of May 20, IS O, as follows:
"REsoLvED. That the Republican party {
this state is in favor of free and unlimited coll
age OF both gold and silver: thatlt holds to tn
principle as a tenet OF party faith and a test
party allegiance; that it will permit or 4
abandonment or modification OF this doctr1n'
that let whatsoever prove recreant TO the pr
CHILE Of bimetallism it will remain steadfa
thereto"
And who on May Q. ls9s, at Virginia City, d
elared as follows:
1--WE again reiterate our steadfast devote
70 the cause of the free and m COMA
Of silver, and declare that in our judgment Il
restoration Of the true bimstallic standard
value as 1t existed previous to 1879, namely,
the ratio Of 1871 /. is an absolute and lndlspe
liable requirement before the financial syste
Of our government will afford the people
value of g. able circulating money sufficient
place the business Of the country on a perm
nently prosperous basis"
We indorse the action Of Nevada's repres
tatives with respect to tariff and financial /
station; commencing their patriotic supp
of the administration in time of war. VIII
using all efforts to prevent the issuance
bonds.
We say to tho Republican party Of Neva
Do not the benifcent results of the tariff sch
ules Of the Dingley bill which affect Neva
and which Nevada's Silver representatives
cured, namely: wool, cattle hides, cyanide,
$780, PcJl ,1nNr 90 tho rain IN la unnn
lust and the unjust! And II %. in what N
nor could Republican Representatives h
