THE SILVER QUESTION.

Colonel \. c. Ellis, Of Carson, re-
turned yesterday from IA four months
~s1juurn in The Atlantic States. lie i y
EIs: IN men, without distinction ni
patty, are opposed to the continuance
% the cottage OF the standard dollars 10y
tie Government. The leading hunT-
cicr5 q! New York and the Treasury Of
fetal are in accord in opposition to sll-
VT. and il their views are shared by tue
majority Of the ne&t Congress, the COIN
age Of silver will X, suspended ind fin
nJcly ~ the MINIS. They look ~ the
question from II different standpoint
from that Of the people Of the silycr-pro-
dacing States and Territories, and 1t is
extremely difficult % ~couvincr them that
the commercial interests OF the country
will not be benefited by the repeal OF the
Standard Dollar Act. Though the Col
uncl is now, ns hc always has been, u
siauuch and nble advocate Of bi-metnl-
ism, he fears, that unless the silver men
from the West and South in Congress
present a firm mud unSaYering front to
the single standard advocates, Eastern
ideas will prevail, and silver coinage
will lie suspended.-Silver State.
These Eastern men, without distinc-
ton of party" who thus place them
selves on record, ns against the further
coinage OF silver do not seem To real
ize that such suspension would have the
effect, III a large degree, To Cnriail the
production Of the precious metals, us the
consequent reduction IN the price Of sill
yer would Shut down many Of the silver
mines, and AS it is well known that Il
large amount cf the gold product is oh.
tanned in connection with silver, il can
readily b. seen tina: n suspension of sill
yer mining would materially Curtaii the
production "f gold. This is the very re-
suit desired 10y the National Banks and
other hold, rs Of National securities, as
it would materially increase the pur-
chnsinG power Of gold and thus add to
the wealth Of a small army Of blood
| suckers who arn Mt all times ready to
sacrifice the public veal to their per
sonal greed.
But we are at a loss to understand
Why it rs that the shrewd business men
oi the East, aside FROM the class above
mentioned, cannot ~fortsee the disaster
Ia the BUSINESS interests Of the country
at large which would follow II snspcn-
sion "f silver coinage by the Govern
mrnt. B.
II is uncomfortable that Eastern men
without distinction Of party" will thus
close their EYES to Tia" best interests Of
the people Of thg UnitGd States at large,
in order to play into the hands of n few
grnsping monnpolies whose Golfers
would thus I've flled Mt the expense Of
the millions Of toilcrs who ARE The bone
and 4ihcw Of this American Republic.

who are now attempting to dictate a
partisan opposition to the Administra-

not be ltssened Ivy the ku"wlcdge WHICH

such testimony ~ this simply tends to
