DEMAND FOR THE RE
PEAL OF THE SILVER BILL.

The SENTINEL has already called atten-
tion to the demand of leading Eastern
Republican papers for the repeal of the
Silver Bill. That such an attempt will
be made at an early day hardly admits OF
a doubt. President elect Garfield has
always been ~antagonistic to silver. 1t
was his attitude on this question asmuch
as anything else that gave Nevada to
Hancock. The Times-Review discusses
the probabilities Of decentralization and
its consequences intelligently and fairly
as follows:
Many prominent Eastern journals are
renewing their clamors for the repeal OF the
Silver bill. That the demonetizers are en-
couraged in the hope that their policy will
be adopted does not admit of q doubt, and
that their hopes are founded upon the re-
cent election is equally certain. There is
no denying the fact that the silver inter-
ests are in imminent danger, and hat the
peril emanates from the recently effected
change in the political complexion OF Con-
gress, and the election of o President who
has always been opposed to a silver cur
rency, and in favor Of the demonstration
of that metal. The effect of the reduction
of silver to the standard of a mere COM
modify would be ruinous to the State OF
Nevada. II would not be simply detri-
mental, it would be ruinous-that is the
word to express ii. The present discount
upon our principal production operates Sc
verely enough upon us, but abolish the
market now furnished by the MINIS, and
tbere ia not one exclusively silver mine in
the State that will begin to pay for work
ing. Nevada without her mines. would be
nothing but a stock grazing section, sup
| porting a population of perhaps two or
three thousand persons. Repeal the Silver
bill and this would be the condition of the
Commonwealth in less than two years
thereafter. This a gloomy supposition,
but it is nevertheless one which is liabl to
be verified, and there is nothing to be
gained by ignoring the fact. 1t is better
to look the matter squarely in the face, and
if possible devise some means to avert the
calamity. Our principal reliance rests in
the hope that there will be a sufficient
number Of Republicans in Congress who
are not under the influence of the National
Banks, bondholders, and wealthy corpor-
atoms of the country, to unite with the
Democrats in defeating the repeal. The
latter are generally in favor of a silver cur
rency, although there were a few excep-
lions in Congress when the question was
before that body a few years ago. The
class of Republicans we have mentioned,
with the Greenbackers, who are all opposed
to demonstration, will, perhaps, be suff-
cient to retain the balance OF power in
favor of silver coinage-if not we might as
well prepare for the worst.
