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-metaIlic con ~entiC n that the country
was suff aring from contracted mon
ey volume.
Many of those who arc HGw acting
with the Republican party admit that
what is called Republican, prosperity.
is, ihreality the result of more money
in circulation. the very thing which
| the leaders Of the party declared to
be unnecessary
+; We deny that silver is dead Issue.
| The question of silver coinage is mere
| ly part of the larger question OF
money in general. and this question is
| ever with us, presenting itself in var
| led forms and ways.

| silver would add largely to the meas
ure of the existinr prosperity and es-
peciaIly here in Nevada, a State so
deeply Interested in silver mining.

with such pledge that four million:
of property valuation has been added
= to the assessment roll and the Stat
tax thereby reduced twenty per cent
Taxation-We are in favor of tax
ing patented mines and mortgages.
Trusts-We are opposed to trust
r. and monopolies in every form. w
favor appropriate legislation in thi
line. and to whatever extent the pres
S emit tariff fosters and encourages tn
l. growth of these great industrial con

modified and reduced so as to rellev
the American consumer from the e!
& tortion of trusts and monopolies.
