nEnoxErIzArIox or SILVER

Republicans who are extremely
anxious to convince the people that
silver sentiment is dead are saying
that events have changed the the con-
diions siEoe 1906
In what direction have the condi-
tons been changed? Is the oppres-
sion OF the people because Of the gold
standard relaxed in any degree! Are
the prices Of real estate aivancedr
Has the farmer experienced any
| benefits not brought about by foreign
causes, such rs the famine in India
and the short crop OF wheat abroad!
As a matter Of fact. the necessity Of
bringing about the free coinage Of
silver at the ratio Of sixteen to one is
more apparent today than ever. And
as another matter OF fact. there are
more people today in the United
States who favor such a change than
there were in 1876.
Down south the silver question is
very much alive, but not more so than
in the west and the northwest. So
far as labor Is concerned, the condi-
tons are such as to demand the re-
monetization OF silver. In this con-
nection the Atlanta Constitution
says:
.In certain classes OF labor-the
cotton operatives of New England
wages are in some instances below
the pauper labor Of Europe. \ gold
standard advocate will either not adj
NIT this or he will say that it is not a
serious matter, but it is Il very serious
matter, indeed. BY cutting OF a par,
OF our money supply we have sufTo.
Gated demands in our home markets
TO remedy this we have reduced
wages to the European pauper leyeI
in order that we may compete with
the products Of this paupcr labor i'll
its O" natural markets. Can that
which gives the whip hand to misery
poverty, distress and degra iatIon in
this country be called 4 great victory
for American taie:7
No, indeed; silver sentiment is not
dead. nor have events changed The
conditions slDce 1896. The monetary
question Is The issue OF to-day and will
cotiuue to be the great issue until il

How a LookInr-GI.., q. Mads.

-How Is a looking glass nader was
the question recently put by a winter

THE POLL TAX Law.

Mr.. Davis, Silver Party candidate
for Controller, in his address to tho
voters OF Elko Friday night devoted
most Ot his time to the ubiquitous
poll tax law PASSED by the last Silver
Party legislature. This law required
every voter to produce poll.tax re-
ceipts for the two years proceeding
the election for which he wished to
register before his name could be
placed on the registration books. Its
effect would have been, 80 Mr.. Davis
said, to distranchise four or Sye
thousand voters Mt the coming elec.
ton. In his arraignment OF this
measure Mr.. Davis said il was a Repub-
lican scheme to decrease the vote OF
Nevada nearly one-half in order to
disgrace her in the eyes OF the people
81 tho rest OF the Union. A Silver
Party Legislature passed this measure
and II Silver Party Governor signed it.
The voters should not forget that
fact.
Now the question naturally arises,
il this was 4 Republican scheme to re-
duce the vote OF the State one.half,
was Governor Sadler in that scheme!
IL he was he is not the proper person
to be elected Governor OF Nevada at
the ensuing election. The ISpEPES-
DENT does not charge that the Cover
o wiifully entered into any such
scheme. but the query is a natural in
ference from the statements made by
Mr.. Davis.
While Mr.. Davis is a candidate OF a
party opposing that to which the H.
DEPENDENT belongs, it gives him the
credit for wiping this iniquitous Law
from IL statute books. For this
work he deserves the unstinted praise
Of every citizen OF the State.

ASSEMBLY n1LL NO. lss.

Governor Sadler in his speech q
the courthouse Friday night had q
good deal to say about his eoonom-
ical administration OF tho States at
fairs. There was a time not long ago
when our economical Governor at
tempted to get both hands into the
State Treasury and only failed in
raking her fore and aft by the stub
born stand OF Asseinblyman Weiland
and a majority Of the members Of the
legislature OF 1895. To enable him
to drag the treasury and put the peo-
pies money into his W private
pocket bill No. l56 was introduced
into the Assembly by Mr.. Newman.
1t is as follows:
Section /. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor shall be ex-oficio Adiutant-
General or the State OF Nevada and
Chairman OF the Board OF Capitol
Commissioners, and for the services
he thall render as such, and while
acting as Governor during the alb
OF the Governor from the State,
he shall receive an annual salary OF
twenty-four hundred dollars, to be
paid at the same time and in the same
n IS other State officers are
paid. And only the actua, travelling
expenses incurred and paid shall be
allowed him while travelling on bust
ness connected with the duties OF said
office.
Section .. All Acts and parts OF
Acts in conflict with this Act are
hereby repealed.
Section 3. This Act shall take et-
feet and be in force from and after
the date OF its APPROVAL
This bill was introduced into the
Assembly by Mr.. Newman on March
a,iSa5 and ~ar referred to the Judici-
AIRY Committee. On March 18th the
majority OF the Committee reported
favorably and recommended that the
bill pass. On the samed day the minor
ity Of the committee made the follow
ing unfaYorable report:
Mr.. SPEAKKE:--Your Committee
on Judiciary beg leave to submit Il
minority report on Assembly Bill No.
lJ6.
1T seems to be an office entirely
unnecessary that is sought to be Gre
atei as it seems 10 be the wish o! the
people OF this State to consolidate and
reduce the number OF Offices rather
than multiply them. We would not
feel justified in creating an Office at
this tune, owing to our depressed f.
Dancial condition, that would create a
salary with it of s2,4oo per year. We
think that 1t Is not a disappointment
to refuse our worthy Lieutenant.G Gov
ernor a present OF 300 per month, for
he certainly did not expect it when
the people OF this State honored him
by electing him to the honored posi-
ton he now holds. All Of which Is
respectfully submitted.
