Ten Per Cent. discount - Whsi
Leading Mining Mem Nay.
Last evening. ut Judge Knox's Court.
room. Virginia. q number Of merchants
and other business men met to discuss the
silver question and adopt some measures
to protect themselves from the deprccia.
tlon Of the metal. =. @. Hampton was
elected Chairman and Conrad wIegand
Secretary. Mr.. wisgand. who has become
prominently associated with the silver
question. stated that he did not wish to
serve, as u Was his intention TO talk. lie
was. therefore. allowed TO appoint DIR. J.
| Thomas johnson o substitute.
Mr.. wiegAnd called upon those who had
| originated the meeting TO state its object
| definitely.
p. IL. Ford then offered . resolution
that trade dollars should be taken and
| given at 10 per cent. discount by the mer-
chants and business men OF Virginia.
While this was pending Mr.. wiegand
submitted Q series OF resolutions TO the ef-
feet that the people Of virginia and Ne.
vEla should make silver the standard and
that prices be adjusted to II; that Con-
gress would probably restore silver to par.
| Upon this the prosperity Of Nevada largely
depended. and nothing should be done 10
degrade silver .fupon which tho citizens OF
the State based their prosperity. The glst

increased 10 per cent. in price instead
| of d~iscounting silver. This would keep
| open 4 channel for the product OF u
mines. The adoption Of the original rrso-
luton would drive silver out Of circuls-
ton. as II had done In Nan Francisco.
! Better for Nevada to place gold at . pre-
MUM than TO place silver at . discount.
The resolutions skrtrhed q silver banking
| plan. The gentleman said that We were
| standing NJ a time when n would take
little more 10 lock mn the industry
Of The State. The production Of silver
was tho EMPLOYMENT Of Nevada. Tbose
present were reminded of the number of
deserted mining towns throughout Cali.
