SILVER.

One of the minor arguments against silver ID
that it ID SO incOnvenient, on account OF weight
and bulk. that no one wants it. 1t is easy TO
remember the grumblers who used to complain
about the fractional currency. 1t was 'ckicken
ieed;" got torn SO easily; was washed to pieces
in vest pockets. &c, &C. Ne doubt the number
Of those who grumble about silver is greatly
exaggerated. and they are probably the same
who grumbled at the paper, and will always
grumble at something.
Whilst so much is said against silver by the
demonetizers. the people are showing their ''in-
nate sagaclty'' by absorbing it. The banks OF
this place have imported steadily for live years
about fifty thousand dollars = year in silver,
which has almost totally disappeared in the
county, and never returns to the banks.
They are alw aye short of silver. When our
fair weather resumption was begun the pa
pers and politicians began at once to whistle to
keep their courage up. Nobody wants coin
now, since paper is US good as cein.' Those
who stand ut the cash counters of banks know
better. Nearly all the thrifty and fOrehande'i
do want coin. They get it, gold. and silver,
from US and meyer return it. Their deposits are
made in paper. The country is quietly becom-
ing s'saturated with conn., as Benton would
say.
Inc great bank oil AInstcru nm was once the
custodian of all the coin there. A man never
drew it out, but transferred his credit to the
person he wanted to pay. But on a great emer-
gency the owners of the coin wanted it and
looked into the vaults and lol they had long been
empty. So it Will be some of these days wher
the examination of our national treasury il
made. The ''cirIstian statesmen (who have
made that term q Dye-word) will disappear ant
lpavp amntv yau1fs We taEa il for rranfpI thS
money Is there, bur who knows 1t? The peopl,
are preparing for Il ''rainy day" by quietly
boarding coin, whilst the demonetizers arr
telling us ''nobody wants silver or gold"
