The history Of the r'nvelnr0' glg she rssto T.
ton Of bimetalism is rhe gJuripus storr Of No
vaia's leadership. The luNatiOTta work
patriottcally undertaken six vars asa
spread throughout the ent;ra country. On lac
Ssue that thu value OF money is QuantItative
and not Qualita i've. the intellectual and politi-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
fui OF her glorious record Nevada will take her
place again in the ~coIfict. not as he ally Of
Gold, but on the side Of those who struggle III
the fields of adversely.
We reatfirm our devotion TO the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio of Is 20 l
by the Independent a ton of the United States,
and we are unaltersbly opposed to the Repub-
hcan policy Of increasing the bonded debt: of
transferring the sovereign power of the gov
ernment to issue money to banking instltu-
tions; OF contracting the circulating medium
TO the single gold standard. and of increasiH g
taxation while contraction is diminishing the
means Of payment.
Our faith in the loyalty. ability, and wise lead.
srship Of William j. Bryan is undiminishcd
and we predict for the silver forces of the Uni
tad States. with Is to / as their motto, and
William J. Bryan as their standard bearer, al

principle rs Il tenet Of party faith and a test OF
party allegiance: that it will permit of NJ
abandonment or modification of this doctrine
that let whatsoever prove recreant to the prin

And who on May Q. s9s, at Virginia City, de
elared as follows:
I'VE again reiterate our steadfast devotio,
- the cause of the free and unlimited coinag,
Of silver, and declare that in our Judgment tn
restoration of the true bimetaIlic standard 0
value as it existed previous to 1879, namely, a
the ratio Of l6to 1. is an absolute and indispen
sable requirement before tho financial system
Of our government will afford the people
value OF stable circulating money sufficient t
place the business Of the country on a perma
nently prosperous basis"
We indorse the action OF Nevada's represan
tatives with respect to tariff and financial leg
~islation; commencing Their patriotic supper
Of the administration In tire Of war, willis
using all efforts to prevent the issuance {
bonds.
We say to the Republican party Of Nevada
Do ut the beniicent results of the tariff sche,
ules Il the Dingley bill which affect Nevad;
and which Nevada's Silver representatives .,
cured. namely: wool, cattle. hides. cyanide. an
