The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-10-13

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 en-
plcyment of labor, and the favorable
balance of foreign trade. But we deplore
the manner in which this vast increase
of wealth, produced by the energy and
more concentrated in the hands of a
few as the inevitable consequenc OF in
adequate laws, of special privileges, of
gigantic m~onopolies in the necessarfes or
life, and of the control of all the sources
of legislation by the alliance between
organized politics and organized wealth.
I've favor the election of United
REVISION OF TARIFF
3-We favor a careful, well consid-
cred revision of tariff schedules. which
shall aim at the reduction or total re-
moval of the duties on articles of
American manufacture sold more cheap
ly in foreign countries than at home;
and which shall deprive industrial
m~onopolies of the power to exploit both
producers and consumers by arbitrary
RATE LEGISLATION
I've hail the railroad rate legisla-
ton enacted by the present congress as
the first step in a program which looks
to the growing assertion of capital, and
we claim this step of progress as a
Democratic victory, because the Repub-
lican administration, which urged the
measure found, not only its inspiration,
but it's specific plan, in the Democratic
national platform of 1904, and received
a united Democratic support in the en-
actment of the aw.
HOPE is IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
5-We declare it to be our conviction
that President R~oosevelt's only hope of
success in obtaining effective laws to
stop the aggressions of monopoly, alike
in transportation, in industry, and in
high finance, lies in the election of a
Democratic congress in November next.
The Republican majority in the present
congress-, deliberately emasculated the
most important measures which came
before it for consideration in order to
make them as Intellectual as passible.
1t burdened the railroad bill with
awkward provisions for judicial review.
1t neglected to provide an appropria-
ton for the execution of the Pure Food
bill, so that it remains a dead letter.
More significant and sinister than all,
the Republican congress refused to pass
measures forbidding compafgn contrib
utions by corporations and requiring
full publicity of all campaign funds,
thus showing that the notorious part
nership between the Republican man
ayers and the trusts is to continue to
debauch our national elections.
We adhere to our oft stated posi-
ton on the money question. We claim
that the qualitative theory of money
has been indicated by history. We re-
joice that history has verified all the
contentious of the great Democrat, who,
in 1896 voiced Democratic opinion, and
hat public sentiment now demands his
installment in the high position OF
which he was then unjuStly deprived
by a campaign of Misrepresentation,
corruption and fraud unequaled in the
history of the country.
GOVERNOR SPARKS CONN., ENDED
I've congratulate the people or Ne
vada upon the impartial and able admin
istration of Governor Sparks. His ad-
min~istration has been characterized by
industrial peace which should be graf
flying to all classes alike. During his
passed and upheld by the supreme court
of this state. During his administration
important measures relating TO 1rrlga-
ton and taxation have been passed, pro-
noting the development of the state on
varied lines, equalizing assessment, re-
ducing rates of taxation, both county
and state. During his administration
both capital and labor have been fully
protected and the lust rights of both
maintained. Conscious as we are that
Nevada has entered upon a new era or
prosperity, we trust that Governor
Sparks administration will be the
prophecy of. industrial peace and con-
tinued prosperity in the future.
S-We favor the enactment OF a just
and equitable Employers Liability act
for the protection of the lives and limbs
of employees.
SENATOR NEWLANDS ENDORSED
9-We commend with pride and salts
faction the able n effective work OF
our senior United States senator,
Francis g.. N~ewlands. The great irriga-
ton law with which his name will be
forever identified, is working a marvel
Gus transformation in the social and
economic life of sixteen states and ter
ritories, and supplying new hope to mil
lions of American citizens who Will oo-
