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 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 urequivocal-
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 that the country
was stuff ,ring 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
| 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.
We believe that tho 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.
i Bank Cur.enccy-We are opposed
to every scheme for the initiation OF
our currency by means of bank notes
which are not and can not be full lie
gal tender. and the volume of which
depends upon the caprice or interests
of banks.
Revenue--The Silver party OF Ne
vada reaffirms the revenue planl
enunciated in the platform of 1900
and calls the attention of taxpayers tt
the fact that since that time the rev
enue law enacted by the Silver AM
Democratic legislature in accordance
with such pledge that four million
of property valuation has been adde,
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
and monopolies in every form. w
favor appropriate legislation in thi
1 line, and to whatever extent the pre-
S ent tariff fosters and encourages tn
i growth of these great industrial con
= binations. we insist that it should b
modified and reduced so as to relieV
: the American consumer from the G
( tortion of trusts and monopolies.
# For an Eigtt-Hour LaW-We fave
the protection of labor unions in evel
just right and such legislation as wi
