i~ication OF this doctrine; that let whose
ever prove recrssnt TO the principle Of BIZ
metsllism 10 will remain stesdfast thereto.
And who on May .. 1896, al Virginia
| City, declared Is follows:
1--WE again reiterate our stesdfsst devo-
lion to the cause of the free and Unlimited
coinage Of silver, and declare hat in our
| judgmeut the restoration Of the true BIZ
metallic Standard OF value % il existed
| previous 10 1873, namely, lat the ratio Of l6
| TO /, 10 an absolute and indispensable re-
| ouirement before the financial system
| OF our Government will afford the people
q value Of stable circulating money sufi-
| oient to place the business OF the country
on q permanently prosperous basis"
We indorse the action OF Nevads's repre-
sentstives with respect to the tariff and
financial legislation /; commencing their
patriotic support OF the administration in
time of war, whilst using all efforts TO
prevent the ISSUANCE OF bonds.
We say TO the Republican party Of Ne
vada, do not the beneficent results OF the
tariff schedules OF the Dingley bill which
affect Nevada and which Nevada's Silver
representatives secured, namely: wool, cat
tle, hides, cyanide and borsx. fall upon
you as the rain falls upon the just and the
unjust? And il 30, in what tanner could
Republican representatives. have done
more?
We say TO the Democratic party OF Ne
ysds, has not the action Of Nevsda's rep.
resentatiyes on financial legislation been
In keeping with the Democratic platform
of 1896, and in this respect, could Demo
cratic representatives have done more?
We express our profound appreciation OF
the ~tireless efforts Of Nevsda's grand old
man, William N. Stewart, not only as the
leader OF the silver cause in America, but
for his great devotion 10 the local inter
eats of the State, a. exemplifed by the fact
that be hiss been the author Of many Of the
important measures effeoting Nevada's
interests which have been enacted by Con-
gress ; namely. the mining laws Of the
United States, the Carson Mint, the Stew
art Institute, the establishment Of the ag-
ricultural experiment station. which en-
ables the State University to receive $40,
900 q year government aid, and the secur-
ing Of Q military instructor 81 the State
University. We further commend his
| efforts now likely soon 10 be crowned with
success, TO secure the payment TO ths
State and citizens OF Nevada Of nearly halt
a million dollars for moneys expended in
| the suppression OF the war Of the rebel
| lion and Indian outbreaks. We indorse
| his proposal TO secure legislation making
| Lake Tahoe and vicinity q national park,
| the Government purchasing on an equi
| table basis, the rights OF parties whose
| in interests are affected, as not only preserv-
ing from destruction n Of natures
praudest works, but giving the national
| Government control for irrigation pur-
| poses of a great lake reservoir which will
| guarantee the farmers along the Truckee
| river more water for irrigation and enable
A vast additional area Of arid lands TO be
] brought under cultivation.
/ We earnestly recommend the election of
william NJ. Stewart 10 the Senate of the
| limited States, and pledge the Silver party
| Of Nevada and she nominees Of this con-
| yention TO his support for that Office.
To our other Senator, John p. Jones.
we extend the greetings Of q people who
| rejoice that they nave such q great public
| servant who has honored the common
| wealth which has delighted TO honor him
| His pre-eminent knowledge Of all inan-
| cial questions has been used by him for
| the benefit OF the whole world, and his
| speeches in the United States Senate upon
| the silver question have become the text
| hook of those statesmen who are devoted
to the interests Of the whole people.
We take pride in the career Of Francis
| G.. Newlands in Congress, notably in the
| fact that he has risen 10 six years TO .
| place among the leaders OF the House, and
| that his influence In public affairs ia be-
| soming more and more manifest. as il
shown by his great part in the annexation
| OF the Hawaiian islands, q oonsummatiou
anticipated and desired by the American
people for more than Fifty years. We de-
clare that Nevada cannot afford to lose
him as her representative In the halls o.
| Congress.
Recognizing the importance Of State de.
| velopment upon agricultural lines, we
com mend she efforts Of our Representatives
| in Congress 70 seoure for the State Of Ne
vadA legislation looking 10 the reclamation
| Of arid lands and the storage OF water IN
| reservoirs, and urge u Senators and Hep'
resentative in Congress TO secure the pas
sage OF the irrigation bills now before
| Congress introduced by our represents
| tive, Francis G. Newlands.
The Uuited States 10 now in the rightful
| control Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine islands, and we are in favor of hold
ing the came until the American people
l b0bll uhVc bimo w uOubl0ok oAo ~she
| such disposition Of the new acquisitions 90
/ sound policy and the interests Of the whole
country may require.
We favor the construction OF the Mica
rauga canal by the Government OF the
| United States of America as q political
and commercial necessity.
At the last session OF Congress . law
having been passed providing for the set
. tlement Of the Indebtedness Of The Central
Pacific Railroad to the Government OF the
| United States, the terms Of which requires
| the payment OF the entire debt, principal
and interest. at the rate Of 3 per cent per
annum, and on failure 10 make such set
element within n year, the mortgage
lien OF the United States TO be at once
foreclosed. and the property sold to the
| highest bidder. we favor foreclosure 40
cording to the terms Of said act 10 case its
conditions regarding settlement are not
complied with.
Certain decisions Of the United States
courts having shorn the Interstate Com
merce Commission Of the authority and
powers undoubtedly intended to be con-
ferred upon il when originally enacted.
we favor such amendments to the act as
will make 1t an effective protection to the
people against discriminating tariffs.
