to ourself HIS friends complain of rs
thus far, that our report left his posit iai'

usO of the word "grecnback, etc, LETT Us
justly open 10 such complaint.
Col Turner ssid he currency question

differed about it. That Senator's Thurman

have practically cartrncted the currency
instead of Initiating il. becArse oy 1t the

Decidedly Personal.

Mr.. Ruskin, in q recent number Of
Fors Claveriga, says
cit is quite possible for the simplest
workman or laborer for whom / write
to understand what the feelings of q
gentleman are, and share them if he
will but the crisis and horror OF this
present time are that its desire OF
money and' the fulSess of luxury dis-
honestly attainable BY ,mmen persons
are gradually making churls of all men; ;
and the nobler passions are not merely
disbelieved, but even the conception of
them seems ludicrous to the ordinary
churl mind 80 that, TO take only so
poor an instance of them as my own
Ii e-because / have passed it in aims
giving, not in fortune hunting; because
have labored always for the honor of
others, not 10Y own, and have chosen
rather to make men look to Turner and
Luini than to form or exhibit the skill
of my own hand because I have low
cred my rent, and assured the comfor-
table lives of my poor tenants, instead
of taking from them all l could force
for the roofs they needed; because 1
love wood walk better than London
street, and would rather watch a sea-
gull fly than shoot it, and rather hear
thrush sing than eat it finally, because
1 never disobeyed my mother, because
J. have honored all women with solemn
worship, and have been kind even to
the unthankful and the evil; therefore
the hacks of English art and literature
wag their heads at me, and the poor
wretch who pawns the dirty linen of his
soul daily for bottle of our wine and
cigar talks of the 'effeminate senti-
mentality of Ruskin.

The Bullion Yield.

Few persons have any adequate idea
OF the yield of precious metals in the
United States. The figures for the last
quarter OF century arc startling and
almost incredible. From 1848 to 1874
the enormous sum of 81, ,578, 407, ,641
was mined on the Pacific coast. To this
amount California contributes over one
billion and ninety.fo millions and
Neyaia little more than one hundred
and nineteen millions. The remainder
is divided between Montana, Idaho,
Colorado, and Utah. The two last ter.
ritories have yielded but about fifty
millions between them, but it is we'll
known that their soil is wonderfully
rich in silver ores of superior charac-
ter. When these territories become
fully developed it is expected that their
enormous yield of bullion will recall
the golden days of California. In Utah
particularly grain culture has been
developed heretofore to the exclusion of
mining interests, but this will prove
itself no loss in the long run, since it
has served to prepare food for large
population. Judging by the amount of
precious metals already extracted from
the hills of the far west, it may be
confidently expected chat the yied of
the next quarter of century will, with
proper energy, nearly or quite equal
the last. New improvements in ma
chinery, the investment of large guam
titles OF capital, and the knowledge
that the slopes of the Rocky noun
tains are so many rich deposits of gold
and silver give promise of an abundant
return to the capitalist and laborer.
This is happy answer, too, to the
gloomy auguries of those who look upon
our financial future with dstrust. The
abundant promise OF agriculture and
mineral wealth will tide us over our
difficulties. A billion and half of
gold and silver is no small return from
barren hills, though it took quarter of
century to gather it.
