FOR BRYAN AND
STEVENSON.

The White Pine News, a paper |
which fought the Silver party two
years ago, is out for Bryan and |,
Stevenson. In its last issue it says:
With this issue the News nails the
banner Of Bryan and Stevenson to its
masthead and will follow their leader
ship TO victory or defect in the CON-
ing cam paign. We are free to admit
that this position has not been taken
without long and careful considera-
ton.
There are many planks in the Dem
ocratic platform with which we are
not in sympathy. We believe in the
policy of protection to American in
dust1y and we are not inclined to
criticise the policy Of the present Ad-
ministrat.on in its conduct of affairs
in our new island possessions, which
policy we believe was necessitated by
conditions beyond its control. We
cannot but recognize the improve
ment of conditions throughout the
country in the last four years and we
are willing to give credit where 1t is
due.
But whatever may be the para
mount issues in other parts OF the
country, in the State of Nevada the
silver issue overshadows them all
1t has been repeatedly asserted il
Republican and eastern Democratic
papers that the silver question is dead
and an effort was made to bury it il
the recent Democratic national con
vention, but that effort was not sue
cessful The silver forces triumphet
in that convention, largely through
the efforts and in Difference to the viii
of the leaders from the silver mimi;
States, on whom Mr.. Bryan depend
ed for his support against the gol
men of the East.
1t would be the basest ingratitude
therefore, for a State like Nevada
which gave Bryan 1887 votes ia 1S9
as against 1880 for Mckinley,
turn its back now upon the "silve
champion who so ably presente
our case before the people in the las
campaign.
We are not among those who cor
tinualy draw down their mouths ali
cry that Nevada will never amount
anything without the revival Of til
silver mining industry. We believ
that the State has wonderful resource
of gold and copper and other valuabl
minerals, besides agricultural poss
bilities that are hardly yet realized
But on the other hand, it cannot |
denied that there is no one thing til;
would enable US to forge ahead :
rapidly as the reinstatement of silv
to its old price level ofS1 % an oun'
which we believe can be accomplish
ed by wise legislation.
Self-interest is, after all, the found
ton of politics, and the self-interest
the people of Nevada demands t
free coinage of silver. AS betwe
