Previous to the Chicago convention
which nominated Bryan the Republican
party did not throw off the mask, but
promised the people free coinage through
an international agreement. and went
through the sham of spending 100000 of
the peoples money in sending the VOL
colt Commission to Europe to beg per
mission to legi>late for ourselves on the
money question. All that is now eX-
plOded. The promise thus made secured
hundreds of thousands of votes for the
Republican candidate in 1896, but that
pretense can never be used again. The
Republican party has repudiated inter
national bimetalIism as well as free
coinage, and is now squarely for the gold
standard.
BY commenting the indianapolis plan
the President repudiated any and all in
ternatiOnal agreements and planted him
self Squarely ON the gold standard.
Secretary Gage Immediately thereafter
made the following declaration before
the Banking and Currency Committee of
the House in the presence of our on
gressmau, Mr.. Newlands:
THE objects | have in mind in the
series of provisions offered by me are:
FIRST, to commit the country more thor
oughIy to the gold standard, remove so
far as possible doubts and fears on that
point, and thus strengthen the credit Of
the United States at home and Abroad
The Republican League is a pretty good
authority on the principles of the National
Republican Party. That League, at its
annual meeting last July at Omaha, de-
rlared in their resolutions that
w are uncOnlpromisingly in favor Of
maintaining of the single gold standard
and are unqualitiedly opposed to free and
unlimited coinage of silver"
Mr.. Hanna, who speaks for the Admin
istration and who is the highest authority
in the Republican Party, r~eprimanded
the Republicans of Utah and. through
them, all other Republicans. for even on
templating the adoption of a free coinage
platform. Ia his letter to I. :. Marshal
Mills, he said:
Il have been informed that it has been
suggested that the Republican party of
Utah at the next Stale convention in
dOrse in its platform the free coinage OF
silver. As Chairman of the National
Committee, charged with the duties of
that position, l protest against the
Republicans of any State taking such
action. 1t would be clearly in opposition
to the principles of the party as demand
ed in the platform at the National Con
ventiOn at St. LOUIS"
Notwithstanding all this and contrary
to the commands of Mr.. Hanna. the Re
publicans of this State say the Great Re
publican Party of the Nation is for bi-
metallism and rely on that party to
obtain it. Can anything be more absurd
than that? l hope the declaration was
made in good faith and in ignorance OF
the principles of the Republican Party O.
Hanna. I do not want to believe that my
fellow citizens of the Republican party
knowingly intended to humbug the
people.
The Senator then spoke of the benefits
secured for the State in Congress, notably
the State war claims of S404, 900 which he
said were practically sure OF being paid a
the coming session, also the Piute Wa
Claims. He dwelt upon the importance
of the State University, and the advantage
of the endowment of $4,000 annually
from the Government. The indepen-
dence of the Silver Party representatives
in Congress has enabled them to work
at all times for the good of the STATE
without being trammeled by party eau
cusses. He alluded to the tariff on wool
hides, lead and bora1 which will develop
Nevada's industries. and also on the re
ductiOn of the tariff on cyanide which
makes it possible to work thousands anC
thousands of tons oflOw grade gold ores
lutely necessary to compel the Demo
cratic Party to hold fast to its declaration
for free coinage.
The Republican party of Nevada pre-
end that the National Republican party
dominated by Hanna is for bimetallisn
When they wrote the following plank il
their platform they must have had il
view a deception of the people. Here i
what the Republicans say:
We are firmly convinced that the fina
adjustment of the money question mus
come by and through the Republican
party. The party is pledged to bimetai
lism. We Therefore declare that the SET
Element of this Important question ma.
be safely left to the great Repubiical
party of the Nati0n."
