The history of the movement for the reSto 4
ZION of b,metallisln is thc glorious story Of Me-
Sadas leadership. The educational work so
periodically undertaken six years ago has
spread throughout the entire country. On the
tssue that the value of mOueY is uuantitative
and not qualita i've, the intellectual and politi-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind.
fui of her glorious record Nevada will take her
place again in the conflict. not as the ally of
Gold, but on the side of those who struggle in
tie fields of adversely.
We reaffirm our devotion to the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio of IL 70 |
by the independent action of the United States,
and we are unalterably opposed to the Repub-
hcan 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
70 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
Srshlp Of William j. BRYAN is undiminished
and we predict for the silver forces of the Uni
ted States. with Is to | as their motto, and
William j. Bryan as their standard bearer, an
overwhelming victory In 1910
We invite the cooperation Of the Republican
party OF Nevada who declared in their plat
form OF May 70, lS 0, as follows:
RESOLVED. That the Republican marty 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 no
abandonment or modification of this dootrins;
that let whatsoever prove recreant to tho prin-
ciple OF blmetalliSm it will remain steadfast
thereto"
And who on May .. 500, at Virginia City. do
slared as follows:
again reiterate our steadfast devotion
70 the cause of the free and unlimited coinage
o. silver, and declare that in our Indignant the
restoration of the true bimetsllic standard Of
value as it existed previous to 1878. namely at
the ratio OF i6to |, is an absolute and indispsn-
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people a
value OF stable circulating money sufficient to
place the business of the country on a perma-
nently prosperous basis"
We lndorse the action of Nevada's represen-
natives with respect to tariff and financial leg
islasion; commanding their patriotic support
OF tho administration in time of war. whilst
using all efforts to prevent the issuance of
bonds.
We say to the Republican party Of Nevada.
DO not the benifcent results of the tariff scbnd-
ules OF the Dingley bill which affect Nevada.
and which Nevada's Silver representatives Sc
cured, namely: wool, cattle. hides. cyanide. and
borax, fall upon you as the rain falls upon til.
Just and the unjust? And IL 80, in what man
ner could Republican Representatives has
