Silver Party Platform

We, the representatives of the Silver
party of Nevada, hereby reaffirm the
principles upon which the party was
founded as enunciated in our last
State platform and declare our I'M
yielding fidelity TO those principles.
We deplore the untimely death OF
our late President William Mckinley.
and express our horror at the crime
of his assassination.
Money Qusstion-We unedu!vocal-
ly condemn the Republican party for
It's attitude upon the money question.
The improved business conditions
which have followed the increased
supplies OF gold fully support the great
bi-metallic con ~enticn hat the country
was stuff ring from a contracted mon
ey volume.
~Many of those wi,o arc ncv acting
with the Republican psrty admit that
what is called Republican prosperity
is, in reality the result ~ more money
in circulation the very thing which
the leaders OF the party declared to
be unnecessary.
We deny that silver is a cec3 issue.
The question c. silver coinage is mere
ly a part Of the larger question Of
money in general. and this question is
ever with us, presenting itself in var

We believe that tho free coinage Of
silver would add largely TO the meas

Democratic legislature in accordance
with such pledge that four millions
of property valuation has been added
to the assessment roll and the State
tax thereby reduced twenty per cent
Taxation-We are in favor OF tax
ing patented mines and mortgages.
Trusts-We are opposed to trusts
and monopolies in every form. We
favor appropriate legislation in this
line, and to whatever extent the pres
GnC CdrlN fosters anu eNCOuIdSSS tne
growth of these great Industrial com
binations we insist that it should be
modified and reduced so as to relieve
the American consumer from the e.,
tortion OF trusts and monopoiies.
{ For an Eieht-Iour Law-We favo
the protection Of labor unions i'll ever.
