The Production OF Silver.
Quincy Herald

quincy
The INSCRIPTIONS opponents Of honest
money are trying to create the impression
that the yield OF the silver mines Of our
country has been very large OF late years
and that the bonanza mines will Hood
the lands with silver as soon as the COIN
age OF the new silver dollar Is authorized
by law. This Is one among the many
misrepresentation made by the anti.
silver men.
Official Information furnished by the
report of the congressional SILVER COM
mission gives the following exhibit o!
the production OF silver IN the mines OF
the Pacific COAST. The yield OF every
mine in the state OF Nevada annually for
sixteen years has been ascertained with
precision, and of the larger miAes. the
yield by months. Taking ali the mines
of the Comstock lode together tor that
period, which was one OF unprecedented
activity in mining, assisted by the most
perfect and powerful mechanical appli-
ances, there have been found some twelve
or thirteen ore bodies, which have
yielded, altogether, about S2l0,000,-
100, or an annual average OF $l5, 0OO, 600.
of which Az per cent. or 81, 1851 900 was
gold, leaving $3.50 200 as the average
annual production OF silver. The aver
age silver product Of Nevada for six
years ending December 81, 1876 was $40.
600, 600, and for 1876 alone S2S, 0O0. 200,
the entire country turning out during
the SIX years named Sl55, 900 900, or an
annual yield Of S28. 100000. When these
statements are contrasted with the ex-
travagant ones made in the east and in
foreign journals, 1t will be seen that the
production OF silver is by no means so
large as has been represented. During
1877 the BonanZas have produced fine
yield of gold and silver, but il we had
the official information, it would prob.
ably be found that the entire lode did
not put in the market new bullion to eX-
about % or Is millions of silver, IN
amount not sufficient to keep our pres.
ent mints in active operation tor year.
We publish the facts upon this subject
simply to correct erroneous statements
made by interested parties to prejudice
some against the cause OF silver, not that
It would be any objection to remoneti
cation, in our opinion. even il largely
increased yield Of the metal could be oh.
tanned. So tar az we are concerned, on
the contrary. we would, like to see the
old dollar restored and a hundred mil
lions year turned out tor two or three
years. at least. II the bullion could be

Louisville Evening News.
2 Ex.Gov. Palmer, OF Illinois. is men.
toned as q suitable man for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination in 1880,
provided his views on the financial ques-
tons are right. He Is an ADLER man than
Hendricks, of Indiana, and his geograph-
teal position is better than that Of almost
any other prominent democrat In the
west.
No better nomination could possibly be
made than that OF Gov. Palmer In
point Ut ability and fitness for the office
he has no superior and few equals. AS
to his financial policy. he Is IN favor Of
silver money, and the reconciliation OF
silver and the repeal OF the resumption
act will straighten out the financial ques.
ton during the present year, and thus
remove that question from politics as q
distinct party issue.
As q man and as a statesman, Gov.
Palmer stands at the head OF western
politicians, and as to geographical po0i-
ton there 10 certainly much in that

didates have heretofore been chosen from
