Business in Los Angeles.

Every body is surprised and pleased
at the briskness of business in our
city. 1t is remarkable how rapidly
we have recovered from the panic that
siezed us some three months ago.
There are few classes of business
Laying little yet, but the general
business of the city is satisfactory and
on the increase. There is something
about Los Angeles that does no: be-
long to any city, or country we have
ever known. Three years ago when
we had two years drouth, or what
the old Californians called a drouth,
all the old settlers were shaking their
heads, and people saying hard times,
but to our astOnishment the crops
were abundant, and sold for good
prices. We not only had bountiful
supply for consumption but we ship
ped off as much grain and wool, and
other stuff those years as we ever did.
Last Spring when we had the late
frost the old Californians again shook
their heads until we were nearly ready
to put on mourning for the dead fruit
crop. But we had all the fruit we
could use and destroy last year.
1t was a little shorter than
usual. but there was more than
enough. When the money panic
struck us last Fall, there was a gener-
al murmur that terrible times awaited
us-a crisis ahead. If this is crisis
we have never been out of a crisis
since We can remember. The oldest
and wisest men are astonished at our
recuperative powers. But when we
examine this subject closely we find
the causes very apparent. There is no
other country in the world that pos
sesses soil that will produce with, or
without rain, as the soil of Los Ange-
les valley. If we have rain, every
thing grows on huge scale, and if we
have no rain we raise what would be
good crop for any other country.
Our people have an energy and spring
about them, found in no other coun-
try. 1t is impossible to keep
man down here. If merchant, or
farmer fails, and is thrown on his
back to-day, he is up on his feet, and
going ahead tomorrow. Whether it
is the invigorating influence of the
climate that stimulates the population
to this peculiar energy which they
possess, or whether it so happened,
that the most enterprising and ener-
getic class from other countries came
here, we cannot tell. Be that as it
may, they are all here, and just such
a people and country cannot be found
any where else.

San Francisco and Carson Mints.

WASHINGTON, April 11th.-The Pa
cific Coast Congressman are preparing
to make vigorous effort to secure an
increased appropriation for the San
Francisco and Carson mints. Director
Linderman has furnished letter from
Superintendent La Grange, in which
it is shown that the proposed reduc-
tions of force and salaries would be
disastrous to the service, and that the
item of SIS, 900 for contingent expenses
is not half enough to furnish the ma
terial and perform the work required
by law which must be done during
the coming year. La Grange does not
object to reduction of his own sal
ary, but asserts that the effect of the
proposed reductions in the pay of mint
employees will be to drive them into
private employment, at higher COM
pensation; and that to replace them
by inexperienced men would be equiv
alent to taking from the Government
an amount of bullion, through vast
age, more than twenty times the sum
saved in the difference of wages. This
letter has been ordered printed.

Since that date the production
of gold has decreased while silver
has increased. In 1875 the pro-
duction was, gold ninety-seven mil
lions and silver sixty-two millions.
This being the case the creditors of
the world are insisting upon gold pay
ment and to do this they must de-
mOnetize silver. Now the question
arises, ifg gold is to be the only money
how is the business of the world to be
transacted, which is multiplying so
rapidly while gold is increasing so
slowly? There is but one way, prices
must decrease as the volume of busi-
ness increases. We must step back
fifty years and say penny day for
labor and other things in proportion,
But even at that price for labor the
interest on our debts must be paid.
That is the direction we are now trav-
cling with the determination to make
gold our only money, unless we should
find new gold mines. But should we
find new deposits of gold large enough
to supply our wants, we presume
these same parties would wage war
against that precious metal too. The
whole object of these creditors seems
to be to make money scarce. 1t was
terrible blow against the Pacific
Coast to demonetize silver, but they
are not done yet.

Willis's Resumption Bill.

WILLIS, from New York, has pres
eated bill in Congress which he calls
resumption bill, which simply
means to exchange greenbacks for
government bonds. WILLIS and his
friends have been buying greenbacks
at a heavy discount, until they are
loaded down with them and they are
desirous to unload at government ex-
pense. These greenbacks are draw
ing no interest while they are locked
up in the safe. They bought this cur
rency on speculation, believing that
Congress would pass some redemption
act that would bring them to par.
But Congress is making haste very
slowly in this matter and these specu-
lators are impatient. Let them wait.

Financial Quandary.

The supply of fractional currency is
80 low in the treasury, that it can no
longer be supplied on the requisition
of the banks. And for more than a
month no printing of new fraction al
currency has taken place, and there
is no appropriation to continue the
work. On account of the loss and
wear small notes are gradually pass
ing away, and even now the banks
are on the eve of u currency famine.
But Notwithstanding all this, the Sec
retary of the treasury hesitates to
take the responsibility of putting the
fourteen millions of silver now in the
treasury, in circulation, though he
has the power to do so. While they
are hesitating the people are suffering
and the country will soon be left with
out small change. If money of a
larger denomination was on the in
crease the absence of change would
not materially damage the country,
but that too is being rapid y absorbed
by taxation. IF this state of affairs
continues there must soon be a gen.
eral colaps among our Eastern breth-
rem. So long as we can dig gold and
silver out of the rocks, We are in pretty
good condition on this coast. The ac-
ton of the Secretary and Congress in
this matter, is not generally under
stood. 1t is fight among the credi-
tors of the world, to demonetize sill
yer. Ten years ago there was a pro-
position to pay our national creditors
off with currency, but as this was a
sacrifice of national honor, that pro-
position was easily defeated. 1t will
be remembered that silver is thee mon
ey of some of the European nations,
who have invested largely in United
States government bonds, and as the
prod uction of silver is largely on the
increase in America, it is the interest
of those countries to depreciate it,
These nations found willing co-work.
ers in Wall street, New York, who
are making millions annually by the

Prospects of the silver Currency Bill

WASHINGTON, April llth.-The
prospects of the silver currency bill
are still considered doubtful. The
Senate will probably adopt the
amendments reported by the Finance
Committee, but they will encounter a
lively opposition in the House, even if
the Senate sends the bill there, which
many seriously doubt. Senator Jones'
argument before the Finance Com
mittee was very effectual, and his con-
templated speech and interesting facts
in support of his general propositions
may strengthen the bill. He will
show conclusively that the worlds sill
yer production has decreased instead
of the contrary, and cite wonderful
collection of acknowledged authorities
to show that injudicious taxation and
not over production has produced the
apparent silver glut. No who con-
verses with him fails to be impressed
by his exhaustive explanation of this
whole subject.
