Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-11-20
A SUGGESTION.

Regarding the meeting called TO-
tomorrow the Silver State make.
the following sensible suggestion
The people Of Carson are discuss
ing a proposition to send a specia
representative to Washington tt
explain the status Of the mining in
dustry in Nevada and the necessity
of reopening the Carson Mint.
This movement implies that the
people of Carson have no confidence
in the ability of our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to pre-
sent the facts to the Treasury De.
partment and secure the rescission
of the order closing the Mint. The
special representative must neces-
sarily appear as lobbyist and as
such will convey the idea that only
the business men of Carson who are
deprived of the custom Of the sew
enty or eighty employees of the
Mint, are particularly anxious to
have it reopened. 1t seems to US
the better and more dignified course
would be to have the people of the
whole State send remonstrances to
the Treasury Department through
our legal representatives; against
the CLOSING of the Mint. It is the
duty of our Senator's and Congress-
men to do all in their power to bene-
fit the State, and they cannot do
less than present statement Of
facts from their constituents and
urge favorable action on the same.
Congress will meet on the first
Monday of next month, and our
Senators and Representatives ought
to be in Washington at that time.
They can be furnished with facts,
relative to the great industry Of the
State and forcible reasons, why it
should be encouraged by the Gov
eminent, at least to the extern. Of
keeping the Mint open, and if the
Secretary Of the Treasury and Di-
rector Of the Mint will not comply
with such reasonable request it
would be nonsensical for a special
representative, a lobbyist. to under
take to prevail upon them to grant
it.
