NEWLAND&.
Nevada's immaculate Representative
Does Not Attend 10 Business.

RENO, New, Nov. /, 1893.
Hon. +. G.. NEwLANDS,
Reno, Nevada.
SIR:-Your failure to procure
legislation in the House in behalf
of Nevada has excited some in
quiry. In order that the people
may Judge of your usefulness as a
Representative of Nevada ! will
state from the record that the only
bill you had passed through the
House during the three terms in
Congress is bill for $500, money
due Marshal Moore for services
rendered after the expiration of
his term of Office. During your
three terms. and previous to the
last session, you voted on various
roll-calls on the passage of bills,
Joint resolutions, etc, I47 times.
You were absent during roll-calls
on passage of bills, joint resolu-
tons, etc, SIS times. This record
is from August 9TH, 1893, when
you first took your seat, until July
24th, 1897.
Mr.. Newlands. this is bad rec
ord for a Nevada Representative,
and if there were no other reason,
this inattention to business on
your part would account for your
utter failure to accomplish any
thing for the benefit of the State.
You have dealt unfairly with
the people of Nevada in other
ways. You have constantly pub
lished in the papers, and | under
stand you paid for it, an account
of pensions obtained for soldiers.
You did not obtain these pensions.
They were granted by the Depart

STAND BY THE GOLD STANDARD.

Referring TO the passage by the
United States Senate OF the Teller
resolution favoring tbs payment Of
government bonds in silver, the weakly
letter of Hambleton & Co., bankers, Of
baltimore, says:
The Teller resolution brought the ad-
vocates to do-nuthing Jet well enough
alone policy up standing. and nolens
voens they were compelled to come out
squarely and advocate the maintenance
OF the gold standard without any quail
tications whatever.
After the laying on tho table OF the
Nelson amendment to the Teller reso-
luton, there can bo no possible ques-
tion that the silver men are fighting
for silver monometallsm and to place
this country upon level with China
and Mexico.
The Nelson amendment, which was
defeated, provided THAT il is the duty
of the government of the United States,
under existing laws, to maintain the
parity 10 value of its gold and silver
money, so that the dollar of the one
metal shall for all monetary purposes
always be equal in value to the dollar
OF the other metal. ~
There can lie no dodging behind the
excuse of bimotallism after this. The
silver men in the Senate deliberately
voted that the parity Of the gold and
the silver dollar should not be main
tanned. .--..
Tho mask is now off, and the ques
ton TO he decided at the polls by the
people IL, shall we have gold standard
and sound and stable currency, and
hence prosperity and happiness, or
shall we adopt a silver standard with
its concurrent dishonor and disgrace
and distress and suffering to the people.
The strong ground taken by the
Presidant in his speech ut New York
and the decisive vote by which the
Teller resolution was defeated in the
House, went long way to offset the
vote in the Senate.
We must confess that we were much
disappointed at the action OF Senators
Gray and Lindsay, sound money Demo.
| Gratis, who voted with thu repudia-
| tionists and while we recognize that
the question the right of the govern
ment To pay its bonus in either gold OF
silyer-is undisputed. the inference r.
be drawn ia that those who voted fol
the Teller resolution endorsed the senti
ment therein coDtained-that it woulr
be proper TO pay in silver even il the
silver dollar were not maintained on 6
parity with the guild dollar.
We have no fear of the result wber
the people come to vote On the straigh
out question OF gold or a silve
basis. This repudiationists will b.
overwhelmed.
