The PRODUCTION OF COIN AND
SILvER,-The product of silver since
the discovery of America is given at
81, 900, 100000. There is no estimate al
the early production OF gold. The pro-
duct Of gold in this country since the
discovery in California in 1S47 is about
81, 81 100000 up to January LIST, 1857 +;
and of silver from the same source and
for the same period 1929, 100000. In re-
gard to the earlier production of gold
we may mention that it was very mod
crate; Hulpbaldt is the best authnrity
on that point. A few years ago Mr..
Senior made careful ompilation of all
the coin in the world of both metals,
and gave the result at about two thous-
and million dollars Silver coin in use
wastes according to British authorities
about five shillings and gold about one
shilling three pence per cent. per annum.
The annual loss by wear of coin has
been estimated by standard authorities
at ten millions dollars per annum. The
annual use of gold and silver for orna-
mental purposes has been given at be-
tween seventy and one hundred mill
liens dollars, bnt no i4eonslderable por-
ton or this comes from the fusion of old
plate. ~ ~

badness often, though not always,

Of nominees. Therefore, members Of the
lower house may, with some propriety,
become advocates of candidates, and the
President might, without manifest inn
propriety, entertain their suggestions
and give their arguments due weight.
The only drawback would be the fact
that as members of the House are al
most always candidates for reelection,
they, too, are liable to estimate fitness
by personal af6nities and the prospect
OF political advantage to themselves,
when again before the people. Still,
with due care to discriminate, between
them in regard to character, motives and
honesty, we see no reason why the Pres
ident should decline to give members of
the House reasonable percentage Of
influence in fixing nominations inside
the district of each. They will average
probably as well as an equal number of
other men drawn from any pursuit.
They have excellent opportunities to be-
come acquainted, and to discriminate
fairly and Justly between competing ap-
plicants. The real question is: Will
they do it? That can only be found out
by experiment, and tested by seeking
information from outside parties Of
known probity and intelligence. There
are arguments, however, which have
force, against permitting interference in
appointments of championship of can
didates on the part of either branch Of
Congress. We do not consider the ques-
ton perfectly clear concerning the low
er House; in regard to the Senate, there
is no doubt that President Hayes is
right and the Moss Backs wrong

THERE is an obscure and uninfuential
paper, published in Mississippi, called
the Meridian Mercury, which despairing
of securing notice, beyond its own i'm
locality, in any of the legitimate meth
eds by which newspaper is brought in
to prominence, has. like Brick Pomeroy's
La Crosse Democrat, bid for, and secured
certain bad notoriety by indulgence in
scurrillity and rampant rebelism. This
paper, which has no standing or infu-
ence as correct index of public senti-
ment, which represents nobody but the
crazy though impotent incendiary who
runs it, and perhaps score or two OF
Confederate bummers who hang around
the village grog shop in the town in
which it is published, and which certain
" has no responsibility, is just now
great fayorite with the implacable press.
It's unreconstructed rubbish is given
welcome space in such papers as the
Inter- Ocean and State Register, as going
to show the failure of the Policy to pac-
ificate the South. But, as usual with
those high pressure concerns, they over
do the thing. The Meridian Mercury
aas been worn thread-bare in this work,
and tie fact that it is quoted SO much
and invariably, is pretty good proof that
ite stands almost. If not quite alone in
it's disloyai and obstructive attitude.
