THE SILVER PRODUCT AND
SPECIE PAYMENT.

The silver product 30 far exceeds the
demand that the question as to an outlet
has become serious one. and especially
so to the silver producing sections. A
market is now sought for the metal. and
can not be found in San Francisco.
where the complaint is most loud. This
state Of things is not apparent to US Of
Phoebe In o decided manner, only know
OF the article being glut in tho market
by complaints from below. We could
and use for at least half million, and Il
would take several millions to make Us
cry enough" Coin is what We want,
and We are not particular whether II Is
silver or gold. We guarantee to find o
market for II. On most subjects some
one can be found capable Of sitting them
to the bottom. But touch upon finance
and oil are at sea. During what are
called "hard times one sees the way
out as clearly as the other. and when
change has taken place for the better
no one knows how it's done. 1t is on a
par with that other subject that some
times excites the curiosity Of many, that
Of how Numerous class with no visible
means Of support manage to make ends
meet. They exist, however. and the wise
ones will never know how it's done. Like
the " lilies OF the field, they reap not,
neither do they spin, but they come as
near being array like INTO Solomon In
ell his glory as any one. Some of our
journalistic financial long heads say II
the Government holds off any longer
on the resumption OF specie payment the
price Of silver may force it upon the
country without the aid of Congressional
enactment. Now, Of all things in the
world silver is the least liable to do that
thing Horace Greeley once said. "the
way to resume was to resume" and that
was about all he knew about it, which
could as we'll been said by lesser light
All the speculation on this knotty ques-
ton has amounted to nothing more than
30 many childish remarks, good square
horse sense appearing to have taken up
q position in the background. The re.
suit Of Congressional enactment during
the year rs we have before us--a com.
plete muddle--and that Of the present
year will be about on par with it.
When resumption is brought about We will
know II; twill be from combination OF
natural causes, and not from taking time
by the forelock BY the foresight of our
legislators. All are out Of their depth
who presume upon leading the way to
specie payment. II may be perfectly
plain after it's done, but not before.

The War Department has informed
our Congressman that the appointment
OF cadet TO West Point from this State
will not devolve upon him. there being
no appointment from this State until
1879. II would appear that the cadet
appointed by Kendall will stick ii
through. Appointments from Nevada
thus far, both to the Naval and Military
Academies. have been almost to no pur.
pose, the cadets failing to stay the full
term. some hoodlum freak calling for
their resignation.
