zion OF L.mcJ4iI-sn IS the Z 'l1o-3 story OF Ne
vada's leudershi,. The ,.luratiunul work so
patrioticaIly undertaken xix years ago has
spread throughout tn entire country. On the
issue that the value Of Eoney is quantItatiyo
and not qualta i've, the intellectual and pOliti-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
full of her glorious record Nevada viii take her
place again in the cGAfict. not as the ally OF
Gold, but on the side of those Who struggle in
the fields of adversely.
We reaffirm our devotion to the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio of Ii to l
by the Independent acton of the United States,
and We are una terably opposed to the Repub-
lean policy of increasing the bOlded debt: of
transferring the sovereign power of the gov
ernment to issue money to banking lnSt1tu-
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, al
Overwhelming victory in 1870.
We invite the cooperation of the Republican
Marty Of Naya6a who declared in their Mat
form of May 20, IS 0, as follows:
"RESOLyED. That the Republican party o.
this state is in favor of free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver; that it holds to thi!
principle as a tenet of party faith and a test o
party a~legian g; that it viii permit of NJ
abandonment or modification of this doctrine
that let whatsoever prove recreant to the prin
ciple of bimetallisin it will remain steadfas
thereto"
And who on May 9, 1896, at Virginia City, de
elared as follows:
I'VE again r~eiterate our steadfast devotion
TO the cause of the free and unlimited coinag
of silver, and declare that in our Judgment tn
restoration of the true bimetallic standard O
value as it existed previous to 1873, namely. a
the ratio of Is ito l, is an absolute and indisper
sable requirement before the financial systeI
OF our government will afford the people
value of stable circulating money sufficient t
place the business of the country on a perm;

We say to the Republican party Of Nevad
Do not the benificent results of the tariff sche
ulss of the Dingley bill which affect Nevad
and which Nevada's Silver representatives :
cured, namely: wool, cattle, hides, cyanide, a,
borax, fall upon you as the rain falls upon Il
Just and the unjust? And if so, in what ma

any more. Wr q
