2. Yes; the great production of silver in the
United States has begun since that time. The dis
covery of the bonanzas the new methods OF ex-
tracing silver, etc., have combined to increase the
production enormously. while the near opening OF
the Suro tunnel and the new mines in Peru, are
certain to food the market with still greater
supplies Of silver bullion.
3. We believe that the increased production is
too great to warrant the reconciliation of silver at
the old value. If restored at ALL it should be only
on the basis of its present value in the markets OF
the world. The action of the United States in re-
monetizng it might then have sufficient influence
to hold it at that point in spite of the tendency of
the increased production to cause still greater de-
preciation.-Ed1
