of $44,4l0 and 5i3 persons were ar

punishable by a pretty heavy fine, is
the common practice OF writing ON

The Fortunes of Mining.

Why the Capitalists Oppose the
Silver Bill. III &
The San Francisco j ournal of Com

The San Francisco journal of Com
merce shows why the capitalists of
New York oppose the silver bill. II
the Bland bill passes, as it left the
House, all debts, public or private,
except those contracted by law to be
paid in gold, can be paid in silver as
we'll. The capitalists now hold all
the gold and comparatively little sill
yer; this law would cheaper the GOLD
in their possession, hence their oppo-
sition. IS therefore sn~thing
praisew ,..py about it. With gold as
the sole legal tender, every one will
need to purchase it to pay his debts
Herewith; renee premium towhich
that existing in war times was as
nothing, and hence an immense profit
by the gold clique in New York.
This premium may not be noticeable
as it was il the days of greenbacks,
on account of the latter being out
lawed, but it will be recognized by
falling prices.
A recent writer has estimated the
demand debts in the United States,
public and private, at S4,000,000,000,
all payable in gold if we attempt re-
resumption with a single standard.
To pay this vast sum there is availa-
BILE, at the highest estimate. about
$1sO,0OO,OO0 in gold coin, c f which
about $50,O00,0O0 is always locked
up for interest on national debt, for
customs duties, etc, leaving but
S130,000,000 to meet The above in
debtedness-that is, about az per
cent. The result of pure and simple
gold resumption under such circum-
stances would be in the highest de-
gree disastrous; values of real estate,
merchandise, everything salcable,
would tumble as stocks tumble ON
California street under the influence
of a panic.
And who would be the gamers?
The brokers, those who had gold to
sell, and those who had mortgages,
etc. The creditors would be obliged
to sacrifice their property at fifty
cents on the dollar to pay them, while
they would buy up the sacrificed
property with the gold obtained by
the ruin of their countrymeu. No
wonder they buzz around the Presi
dent like swarm Of flies, with the
view of influencing him to blast the
hopes of the people in the silver bill'
They can take care of Themselves of
course, but they hate to see their fell
low citizens rush into the jaws of de-
struction!
The passage of the silver bill will
in a few years double the available
means of resumption, and with the
legal tender notes circulating at par,
and redecmable at the option of the
holders in silver or gold, will help to
wipe away this last unpleasant re-
minder of the civil war. But the oc-
cupation of the gold Clique would
have passed away forever, and the
hopes of the sliylocks of the land
would have been forever blasted.
Under the operation of the double
standard there would be little or nc
difference of value between the silver
or gold dollar, because the increased
use of the one and the lessened use o.
the other would make them approx
mate, and it would be easy at any
time to call in and recoin until tn,
equilibrium was fully restored.
