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 Question-We unequivocal-
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 aring from q contracted mon
ey volume.
Many of those who arc now acting
with the Republican party admit thai
what is called Republican prosperity,
is, in reality the result Of more money
in circulation. the very thing which
the leaders OF the party declared 10
be unnecessary.
We deny that silver is q cead issue.
The question of silver coinage IS more
ly a part of the larger question Of
money in general, and this question is
led forms and ways.
We believe that the free coinage Of
silver would add largely to the meas
| ure of the existing prosperity and es-
peciaily here IN Nevada, a State so
| deeply interested in silver mining.

Taxation-We are in favor of tax
