The history of the movement for the resto' d
ZION of bimetalliSm is the glorious story OF Ne
vada's leadership. The ,lucatiOnal work 50
periodically undertaken six years ago has
spread throughout the entire country. On the
issue that the value of money is QuantltatlVo
and not qualita i've, the intellectual and pohtl-
cal forces of nations are now batting, Mind
sui of her glorious record Nevada Will take her
place again in the conflict. not as the ally OF
Gold, but on the side of those who uggle III
the fields of adversely.
We reaf1irm our devotion to the Tree and I'M
6mited coinage of silver at the ratio of Ii to l
by the independent action of the United States,
and we are unalterably opposed to the Repub-
Ecan policy Of increasing the bonded debt; OF
transferring the sovereign power OF the gov
eminent to issue money to banking 1nst1tu-
lions; Of contracting the circulating medium
% 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
arship Of William j. Bryan is undiminished
and we predict for the silver forces of the Uni
Ted States. with IS to l as their motto. ano
William J. Bryan as their standard bearer, al
overwhelming victory in f6D.
We invite the cooperation of the Republican
party Of Nevada who declared in their plat

"REsoLvED. That the Republican party o
this state is in favor of free and unlimited coin

principle as a tenet of party faith and a test o
party allegiance; that it. will permit of n
abandonment or modification of this doctrine
that let whatsoever prove recreant to the prin
siple Of bimetallism it will remain steadfas
thereto"
And who on May 0. 1896, at Virginia City, Dc
shared as follows:

restoration of the true bimetallic standard {
value as it existed previous to 1873, namely. 6
