The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-09-11

Jones, joined the "solid South" in pass
ing it over the Presidents veto. The
Pacific Coast members joined the ''solid
South" in the vain endeavor to pass the
antirChinese bill over the veto, and
Garfield, the Republican nominee for
President, joined it in passing the dep
uty marshals bill. If it was treason
able in the "solid South" to assist in
passing these bills, then the Republi-
can members from this coast are trait
ors for voting for two of them, and
Garfield is rebel for voting for one Of
them. We know that Blaine Joined the
"solid South" in it's advocacy of the
Silver and Chinese bills, and that his
doing so secured him the solid vote of
this coast in the Chicago Convention.
We also know that Garfield voted
against Blaine to sustain the veto of
these bills, and for that reason, if the
people were consistent, ought not to
receive an electoral vote from the Pa
cific States.
As the New York Herald, which is
not Democratic paper, remarks, the
persistent misrepresentation of the South
is rank folly. Thoughtful people can
not be persuaded that region is given
up to lawlessness, which raises this
year six million bales of cotton, besides
other products, or that colored men are
systematically robbed, abused and
wronged, when their labor produces
these enormous crops.
Let us have less fallacies and more
reason less sectionalism and more COM
mon sense III the campaign.

AN ITEM FOR MINING MEN.

The New York papers have published
letter written by General Hancock
some months before his nomination, in
which he favors the free coinage Of gold
and silver and the use Of coin notes as
a-curfency, and to be employed in pay
ing off the interest bearing bonds due
in 1881. The free coinage of silver
would add from IA to Is per cent. to
the value of bullion, as it would end
the present ruinous discount ON silver,
which makes bar of the assayed value
of 81, 900, for instance, worth only from
$40 to $3.50 in San Francisco. Bullion
producers know to their loss, if not
sorrow, that bullion, since silver was
demonetized, does not bring in the
market within Is per cent. Of its as
sayed value, and that bars which ASSAY
81, 800 are not worth over 81 ,275. The
difference is sufficient to make mines
that now pay only expenses, profitable;
but if mine owners vote against their
own interests, they have only them
selves to blame for doing So

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

| DIR. Tanner made his debut as a lee.
turer at Booths Theater, New York.
The orchestra chairs were we'll filled,
and there was number III the parquette
and balcony. A large sprinkling Of the
medical profession was visible, together
with many former visitors to Claren-
den Hall. On taking his place on the
stage, Dr. Tanner was greeted with
hearty and prolonged applause, to which
he responded with a complaisant smile.
His appearance manifested no trace Of
the ordeal through which he recently
passed His face showed the color and
his limbs the activity OF vigorous man
and his voice sounded as full and strong
as before his forty days fast. After a
few words of introduction DIR. Tanner
took his place at an improvised reading
desk and began his lecture, which was
delivered from manuscript. He spoke
for an hour and quarter, and, in CON
clusion, said {" 1t is my aim to con-
vince the public that they should rely
upon the recuperative power Of self and
nature, not upon burnt toads, mercury
and arsenic. People, nowadays, are too
credulous. They are easily persuaded

people from the Southern States commenced

of whom testified that they had no personal
knowledge of the causes of the exodus. and
knew nothing of the widely scattered circular
to which their names were appended appeal
ing to the people of the United States for
money to assist the freedmen in finding refuge
from persecution, etc., except that they had
promised to serve as members of the Board of
Audit for the Emigration Aid Society therein

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGs.

News comes from the West Indies Of
errible floods on the island of St Kits, by
which 200 lives have been lost, property to
the extent of $3.50, 900 destroyed, and the whole
island wasted. ST. Kits has known no
such calamity since 1922, when a terrific hurri-
cane nearly destroyed the island.
Lit is announced from Pittsburgh that
the Western Nail Association has raised the
card price of nails to SIS, and that manufact-
urers expect that the price will reach So by
the LIST of February. This is the price at the
mills. In May and June last the price of
nails in Pittsburgh was $1.75 per keg The
increase up to the present time is at the rate of
1856 per cent, with promise of a further ad-
vance Of 60 per cent. within the month. This
is part of the great iron boom, which is being
pushed so rapidly and extravagantly that a re-
verse may be expected, which, if it be gen.
eral, will be extremely calamitous
The annual circular of " The Mercan-
tile Agency of R. G. Dun & Co.," in reference
to the failures of 1879. shows very decided
decrease in the number of failures as COM
pared with the previous year. In 1878 they
ran up to 10,47S, while during the year just
closed they numbered only 665S, decrease of
$3.50. The decrease in the total of liabilities
last year, as compared with the previous year,
is still more remarkable the total liabilities of
