as expressing the DEMANDS It the AInerIs IA
people in cousOnanae with lie foregoing, tho
platform of the Material SILVER party tocnaU-
lated a. St. Louis, July 3, I~@j, aud the tiuan-
cial plank Of tie Ma ional Democratic party
adopted at CT ago, July :. .S96.
The history G. the movement for the resto' T.
ton of bimetallis1n is the glorious story of Ne
vsda's leadership. The Educational work 80
patriOtically undert; ken six years ago has
spread throughout the entire country. On the
issue that the value of money is Quantltative
and not qualita i've, the intellectual and politi-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
full of her glorious record Nevada will take her
place again in the co"tict not as the ally Of
Gold, but on the side of those who struggle in
the fields of adversely.
We reatfirm our devotion to the free and IN
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is 20 l
by the independent action of the United States,
and we are unalterablyo opposed to the Repub-
lican policy of Increasing the bonded debt; of
transferring the sovereign power of the gov
eminent to issue money to banking institu-
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 16 to l as their motto, and
William J. Bryan as their standard bearer, an
overwhelming victory in 1900.
We invite the cooperation of the Republican
party of Nevada who declared in their plat
form Of May 20. IS 0, as follows:
"REsoLvED That the Republican party OF
this state is in favor Of free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver; that it holds to this
principle as a tenet Of party faith and a test OF
party allegiance; that it will permit of nc
abandonment or modification of this doctrine
that let whatsoever prove recreant to the prin
ciple of bimetallism it will remain steadfast
thereto"
And who on May 0. 1896, at Virginia City, de
elared as follows:
W again reiterate our steadfast devotion
20 the cause Of the free and unlimited coinage
or silver. and declare that in our Judgment thu
restoration Of the true bimetallic standard O.
value as 1t existed previous to 1873, namely, q
the ratio Of let l. is an absolute and indispen
sable requirement before the financial system
Of our government will afford the people
value OF stable circulating money sufficient t.
place the business Of the country on d perma
nently prosperous basis"
we lndorSe the acton or Nevadas repreSen
tatives with respect to tariff and financial leg
~tslation; commencing Their patriotic supper
Of the administration in time of war, willis
using all efforts to prevent the issuance G
bonds.
We say to the Republican party of Nevada
Do not the benifcent results of the tariff schot
iules Of the Dingley bill which affect Nevad;
and which Nevada's Silver representatives st
cured, namely: wool, cattle. hides, cyanide, an
borax, fall Upon you as the rain falls upon til
Just and the unjust? And if 30. in what ma,
per could Republican Representatives hay
ANY more.
