HARD ON SAN FRANcisco.-Referring to
the fact that the San Francisco merchants
have given public notice that they will not
receive silver in payment of debts in sums
exceeding ten dollars, save at discount, the
Inland white Pine) Empire says:
From this we infer that silver is at dis
count in city that is striving to control the
trade of this great interior basin. the miner
al product of which is pure chloride silver
As there is no demand for this product in
San Francisco, we recommend that the stream
of silver bars flowing hence go to the East
whittier the bullion drift is now going
Where silver coin in bulk. amounting to
above ten dollars, is refused. the question
recurs whether this great silver-producing
region had not better pour its stream into the
East until merchants there refuse to take
more silver than ten dollars at a time. In
all the Eastern States coin of any description
makes the eyes Of merchants shed tears in
Utah onions do the same thing; in San Fran
cisco where more than ten dollars is offered
at one time, a puailistic attitude is assumed
and the creditor is refused liquidation of his
accounts in that coin. Manifestly, there is
something wrong in the silver circulating
medium. 1t evidently should 60 East where
there is so little Of it.
