TIL Silver Party of Nevada pledges its m
wavering devotion to Che }ui.cYi of govern
ment laid down Ivy f.".l~ol and lincoln:
That the highest 4 II OF 1ol>" ument j. to 50
regulate its laws that the spirit Of equality
shall follow men tEru.2h NEr. giving each amp
lest opportunity f WoA cut to the fullest
measure hi- .'~~il filters u':'~uictei by law,
and unaffected by tie conquest Of his GoIliu-
ion of opportuu ty l. ether luEn. We indorse,
as expressing the demands If the American
people in consonance with lie foregoing. TIC
platform Of the National silver party fOrmu-
lated a St. LOUIS, jay ID. lS6. and the Luan-
cial plank of The National Democratic party
adopted at Chicago, July :, SEQ.
The history Of the movement Cor the resto' a.
tion of bimet;liism is She glorious story of Ne
vada's leadership. The educational work so
periodically undertaken six years ago has
spread throughout the entire country. On the
issue that the value of money is quantltativo
and not qualita i've, the intellectual and pOliti-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
full of her glorious record Nevada vii! take her
place again in the conflict, not as the ally OF
Gold, but on the side of those who struggle IN
the fields of adversely.
We reafirm our devotion to the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l
by the independent action of the United States,
and we are unalterably opposed to the Repub-
Gcan policy Of increasing the bonded debt; OF
transferring the sovereign power of the gov
W oSu loLC ~ Va
tons; of contracting the circulating medium
TO 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 predict for the silver forces of the Uni
ted States, with 10 to l as their motto, anG
William j. Bryan as their standard bearer, al
overwhelming victory in 1900.
We invite the cooperation of the Republican
party of Nevada who declared in their plat
form of May 20, is o, as follows:
"REsoLvED. That the Republican party o
this state is in favor of free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver; thatit holds to thi
principle rs a tenet Of party faith and a test O
party allegiance; that it viii permit of n
abandonment or modification of this doctrine
that let whatsoever prove reCreant to the prin
ciple of bimetallisln it will remain steadfas
thereto"
And who on May 9, 1896, at Virginia City, dc
elared as follows:
again reiterate our steadfast devotio
70 the cause of the free and Unlimited coinag
of silver, and declare that in our Judgment til
restoration of the true bimetallic standard c
value as it existed previous to 1874, namely, 9
the ratio of l6to l, is an absolute and indisper
sable requirement before the financial syster
Of our government will afford the people
value of s. able circulating money sufficient
place the business of the country on a perm
nently prosperous basis
We indorse the action of Nevada's represe,
tatives with respect to tariff and financial lej
~islation; commencing their patriotic suppol
of the administration in time of war, Will
using all efforts to prevent the issuance
bonds.
We say to the Republican party of Nevad
Do not the benifcent results of the tariff sche
ules of the Dingley bill which affect Nevad
and which Nevada's Silver representatives :
cured, namely: wool, cattle. hides, cyanide, al
ho-ov fo11y ,pop ~ q @ tho roin fo1lo I1non ~
Just and the unjust? And il 80, in what ma
ner could Republican Representatives ha
any more.
