The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-10-13
PLATFORM

1.-The Democrats and Silver men OF Nevada
rejoice in the nations continued prosperity, in
the abundant crops, the goodly yields of the
mines, the full employment OF labor, and the
favorable balance OF foreign trade. But we de-
plore the manner in which this vast increase
Of wealth, produced by the energy and in
dustry of all our people, is more and more
concentrated in the hands OF q few as the in
evitable consequence Of inadequate laws, of
special privileges, Of gigantic monopolies in
the necessaries of life, and of the control of all
the sources Of legislation by the alliance be-
tween organized politics and organized wealth.
Owe favor the election OF United States
Senators by tie direct vote of the people.
REVISION OF TARIFF
3-we favor a careful, we'll considered re-
vision OF tariff schedules, which shall aim at
the reduction OF total removal OF the duties
on articles Of American manufacture sold more
cheap,y in foreign countries than ct home,
and which shall deprive industrial monopolies
Of the power to exploit both producers and
consumers by arbitrary methods and prices.
RArE REGULATION
I'VE hail the railroad rate legi lation en-
acted by the present Congress as the first step
in a program which looks to the growing as
sertion Of national authority over great az
gregations Of capital, and we claim this step

the Republican administration which urged
he measure found, not only its inspiration.
but its specific plan, III the Democratic Nat
tional Platform Of 1904, and received united
Democratic support in the enactment of the
law.
HOPE is IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
5-We declare it to be our conviction that
President Roosevelt's only hope OF success in
obtaining effective laws to stop the aggres'
sions Of monopoly, alike in transportation, IT
industry, and, in high finance. lies in the
election Of a Democratic Congress in Novem
Der next. The Republican majority in thu
present Congress deliberately emasculated th'
most important measures which came befor'
it for consideration in order to make them a
Intellectual as possible.
1t burdened the railroad bill with awkward
provisions for judicial review.
1t put the expense Of meat inspection wholly
| upon the public and refused to require tn
placing Of dates upon labels to show when tn
| meat was packed.
1t neglected to provide an appropriation
for the execution Of the Pure Food Bill, 81
that il remains a dead letter.
More significant and sinister than all, tn
Republican Congress refused to pass measure
| %forbidding campaign contributions by corpora
| tions and requiring full publicity OF all cam
| paign funds, thus showing that the notorious
| partnership between the Republican managers
and the trusts is to continue to debauch oui
national elections.
Eve adhere TO our oft stated position OF
the money question. We claim that tn
| auantitative theory Of money has been win
dicated by history. We rejoice that History
| has verified all the contentious Of the gres
| Democrat, who, in 1896 voiced Democratic
| opinion. and that public sentiment now de
mands bis i~nstallment In the high position o
| which he WAS then uniustly deprived by
| campaign of Misrepresentation. corruption
and fraud unequalled in the history of tn
country.
GOVERNOR SPARKS coMsENDED
/ I'VE congratulate the people Of Nevad'
| upon the impartial and able administration o
| Governor Sparks. His administration ha
heen characterized by industrial peace whicl
should be gratifying to all classes alike
| During his administration the eight hour Law
was passed and upheld by the Supreme Cour
of this State. During his administration I'm
