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 un-
yielding fidelity 10 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 uneQuivoca1-
~ 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 that the country
was suff oring from a contracted mon
ey volume.
Many of those who arc now acting
with the Republican party admit that
what is called Republican prosperity,
is, in reality the result of more money
in circulation. the very thing which
be unnecessary.

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 trust
and monopolies in every form. W.
favor appropriate legislation in thi
line, and to whatever extent the pres
ent tariff fosters and encourages tn
growth of these great industrial CON

the American consumer from the G,
