State Central Committees assembled |
at Reno, Nevada, March 8, 1902, con-
graduate the people of Nevada upon |
the encouraging outlook for State de-
velopment and prosperity, and partic-
ularly felicitate the people of the State
upon the new era of mining and the
late developments in this industry. the
principal resource Of this common
wealth.
The unceasing. battle for the remOn-
citation Of silver, made by the Demo-
cratic and Silver parties for the ten
years last past having caused to a
very considerable extent a renewal of
energy and hopefulness among miners
and prospectors as we'll as attracting
the attention of the world to our min
eral wealth, resulting in the discovery
Of valuable mines throughout the State,
which now bid fair to rival the unpar-
alleled production of the Comstock
lode, or the riches Of the Klondike.
This, we claim, is credit to the
Democratic and Silver parties, for by
virtue of the persistent and determined
efforts in the cause Of silver by these
organizations, the dignity and import
ance of Nevada as a mining State has
been maintained during a period of al
most unparalleled business depression.
Ten years ago the Silver party of
Nevada formed in solid phalanx and
with free coinage" as its slogan be-
gan the battle for the cause of Justice,
and the money Of the people. A new
hope was born, and what at first SEEM
ed to be an unequal struggle developed
into a national issue, with Nevada as
its champion. Other States, such as
Utah, Montana, Colorado and Idaho
came into line and the demand for the
restoration of silver at the ratio of
10 -
two great national parties that prompt
and decisive action must be taken to
preserve their organizations.
The Democratic party took up the
slogan and at the national convention
at Chicago, without reservation, en-
dorsed free coinage, and stand upon
that platform today.
The Republican party's action in
regard to this great question was a
pretense, which as time progressed,
that party has unreservedly confess
ed. That battle for Justice and for the
money of the people has not been
abandoned and the Silver party of Ne
vada still maintains it's organization
and has allied itself with the Demo-
cratic party in the interest and pro-
gress Of Nevada's possibilities and de-
velopment in every branch of industry
or resource peculiar to this State.
In the language of Hon. H. F. Bar
tine, exMember of Congress from Ne
vada:
What has the Republican party
done for the silver cause or the prin-
cipal industry, mining, in the State OF
Nevada?" 1t was originally the cause
of the decentralization of the white
metal. Eight years ago in Congress
it made a pretense of favoring BIZ
metallism, what is it doing today?"
The Republican party is solidly fol
the gold standard, not only opposing
the free coinage of silver, but any
coinage of the white metal, save fol
small change and many of it's member:
are in favor of getting rid of tn
silver dollars alreadv coined and sup
plying all deficiencies in the currenc,
by allowing the National Banks t,
issue circulating notes upon the basil

members of the Republican party

Subsequent events have more tina
