Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-11-04

rauds in the navy, frauds in the civil
'ervice, frauds everywhere became the
order Of the day. To steal according to
ethics was alright, but to lie
was infamous. Its acts were 80
unjust, so dishonest and cor
-upt that Sumner, Seward, Greeley, Phil
ps, Palmer and nnen like them, the
brains and conscience Of the party, were
driven from its ranks.
To be more specific: It took from
greenbacks their legal tender debt-pay-
ing property, and deprecated their value
to IS or 40 cents on the dollar. With !
that deprecated currency it paid the
bronzed and weather-bsaten veterans OF
the civil war, men who barred their
breasts in defense of their country and
fought for liberty and Union. With it, it
paid the pensioned widows of the men
who fought aud bled and died on hun
dred battlefields, that the nation and
liberty might live. 1t was good enough
for them, but not for bondholders. That
single act Of treacLery to the people cost
the nation more than the civil war.
It demonetized silver aud established
the gold standard, thereby doubling the
purchasing power of gold and corres-
pondingly decreasing the value Of silver
and every ether commodity. or that
colossal swindle it is unnecessary to
speak. No people understand its intr;n-
sic dishonesty, its unspeakable atrocity
and injustice, better than the people of
Nevada. Their closed mines, their idle
decay. their empty houses, stores and
business places, their decreasing popula-
ton, all bear testimony to the inmeasur-
able wrongs done the people of Nevada,
and the incalculable injury to the indus
trial interests of the State and Nation
wrought by that Infamous legislation.
The people Of Nevada know well that
! the Republican party is responsible fer
that legislation, that it demonetixed sill
| yer. and that every bill for it's remonsti-
cation was introduced in Congress by a
, Democrat aud was defeated by Republic
can votes.
1t lbroke faith with Cuba and Porto
|
slave the Philippines.
1t gave it's moral support to the crush.
ing Of two small Republics in South
Africa, making as grand and heroic q
struggle for national independsn nee as
ever shed lustre upon the patriotic efforts
Of noble people.
1t degraded our National flag by max.
ing it the emblem Of oppression, tyr
amy and greed; instead Of the glorious
ensign Of liberty, equality and justice.
For which Of these act3 Of perfidy
treason and dishonor do you, Mr.. Chan
dler, expect the liberty-loving people
the Silver Republicans and Democrats 0
Why, my dear sir, nothing but ignorance
F or total depravity could induce any citi
, zen to support party whose almos
every act has been a living lie, and who's
hands, today, are stained, yea, reekine
with the blood Of its innocent and con
ndiDg victims. From the whiskey rim
Of Grant to the embalEled beef of Nc
Kinley, the trail Of Republican misman
t agement is strewn with the evidences {

t immaculate Republican party of whic
