Silver Party Platform

We, the representatives of the Silver
party of Nevada, hereby reafirm the
principles upon which the party was
founded as enunciated in our last
State platform and declare our un-
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 uneGu;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 yenticn that the country
was stuff ,ring from a 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 to
| be unnecessary.
We deny that silver is a lead 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.
We believe that the free coinage OF
| silver would add largely to the meas
ure of the existing prosperity and es
! pecially here in Nevada, a State sc
| deeply interested in silver mining.
! Bank currenecy-Te are opposed
to every scheme for the imitation o.
our currency by means of bank note:

enue law enacted by the Silver an
Democratic legislature in accordance
with such pledge that four million

to the assessment roll and the Stat
tax thereby reduced twenty per cent
Taxaton-We are in favor of ta>
ing patented mines and mort cages.
Trusts-We are opposed to trust
