T>HE SUN, from the geographical posi-
i ton occupied by Baltimore and its prox-
unity to the National Capital, presents UNI
usual advantages to all classes of readers,
not only in the city of Its publication, but
in the surrounding States. 1t is national
in scope, Independent in politics, and
conservative in opinion. 1t is emphatical-
ly Il newspaper, and its reputati N has been
built up by the acknowledged excellence
and variety Of its news, both local and gen
eral From its fairness and impartiality
in discussing public questions, its circuIa-
ton extends among men of all political par
ties, and has become, from the thorough.
ness of its information on all current sub
jec.s engaging popular attention, the favor
lite paper of the people. Everything wor-
thy of special note or record in the State
of Nj ryland, the District of Columbia, and
the states adjacent, will be found from day
to day in q compact and readable form in
its columns. During the session of Con-
gress it gives special attention to the sub
iects under discussion, the introduction of
important bills, and the pith of the debates.
Its special correspondence embraces not on
ly daily letters and kilograms from Wash
ington, but covers all the most prominent
points in the Union, from San Francisco to
New York and the Eastern cities beyond.
Its foreign Is the very latest received from

classes of public securities being carefully
noted. Special attention is also given to the
Breadstutis and Provision markets, and
D rticularly to the current prices each day,
not only in Baltimore, but in other cities
of the Union and abroad. For all the prln-
cipal matters that enter into the business
of the country it may be consulted with
safety, both by producers and dealers. But
aside from its political, financial and COM
mercial features, THE SUN has an estab-
lished reputation as family paper. As
such the information it imparts, in the way
of general news, is of interest to all classes
of readers nothing being admitted into its

The Platform Of the Mississippi Democrat

The Platform 6f Inc Mississippi democrats.
The Democrats of Mississippi, in
state convention assembled, have
adopted the following platform, which
we heartily endorse and commend to
those of our Democratic friends who
oppose retrenchment and reform in
local affairs and reduction of taxa
tion:
Fidelity to the constitution Of the
United States, home rule and preserva-
tion of state governments, with all
their reserved and guaranteed rights
unimpaired. No interference by the
military power with the freedom of
elections and with the civil and politi-
cal rights of citizens of the United
States. Protection of the equal rights
of all classes; no discrimination on ac-
count of race, color, previous condition
of servitude or birthplace, and no
special legislation for the benefit Of the
few at the expense of the many. Strict
adherance in the selection of public
agents to the time-honored Jefferson
standard, sis he honest, is he capable,
is he true to the constitution" A con-
tinuation of the policy Of retrenchment
REFORMS signally inaugurated bythe DEM
ocratic party. A reduction Of the bur-
dens of taxation to the lo,rest point COM
patible ,cith the efficient erecrtion Of the
lasrs. Corporations of every descrip-
tion supervisable within constitutional
limits by state authority, and subordi-
nation to state legislation, in the inter-
est and for the protection Of the peo-
pie.

total production of the country for the
year ending June 80, 1876, at SAG, $780,
900 gold, and S3s, 800, ,O0O of silver.
Valentine, of Wells, Fargo & Co. makes
the total production for the calendar
year 1876 to be $44, ,32s, 900 of gold, and
$41 $50, 900 of silver, but he omits Da-
kota and the Atlantic states, and in
cludes British Columbia and Mexico.
A California correspondent inquiries
what has become of all the gold and
silver product. We cannot trace every
dollar of it, but he may see how part of
it has been absorbed. For the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1876, we exported
S40, ,569, ,621 more coin and bullion than
we imported. For the last year the ex-
cess was only SIS, 325, 1852, but the sub
treasury, July l, held SIG, 122, Alb in
coin, against S73, ,625, ,5S4 at the same
date of the previous year, showing a
gain in its vaults of S41 ,496, ,SS9 in coin.
The banks held about the same each
year, and, besides the annual consump-
tion for plate and jewelry, there has
been large addition to the silver vol
ume of silver coin in the hands of the
