Why Support Gold?

Silver b'..DUn IS now quoted in the
New Yorh ~. s-ondon market at the
iowest pric. st, ever reached in his
lorical times. Every intelligent per-
son who has given the subject mo-
ment's thought must admit that leg
islation is the cause. 1t is not over
production, because there is not
enough silver coined to supply the
by the increase in bank notes. which
are but promises to pay in money
gold or silver Who but the million
aires have profited by the refusal of
the Mints to coin silver for deposit
tors? Is there a resident of Nevada
who has made money by having sill
yer beaten down in the London and
New York markets to fifty cents an
ounce? Has not every citizen of the
State a pecuniary interest in having
silver command a high price? Would
not thousands find remunerative en-
ployment in the mines Of this State.
where only hundreds are employed at
present, if silver bullion sold for any
thing near it's coinage value?
AS the Republican party is respon-
sible for the legislation which enab-
les London brokers to purchase Am
erfcan silver at nearly one-third of the
value placed upon it when coined. why
fare and prosperity of the State at
heart support that party or cast his
