The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1885-12-21
INFLUX OF GOLD.

1t is unfortunate for the bankers and
goldbugs that facts at this particular
time are disproving their financial
theories. They assert that the coinage
of 100000 silver dollars monthly is
driving gold out of circulation, and if
silver coinage is not suspended import
ers will have to pay premium for gold
to liquidate their indebtedness in
Europe. Facts, however, show that
this assertion is unfounded, and that
instead of gold being driven out of the
country steady stream of the yellow
coin is flowing into the United States,
and that too from country where
silver is demonetized. Last week
about a million dollars in foreign gold
arrived in New York, mostly from
Germany, and about six millions more
since November LIST. As this fact up.
sets their theory, the goldbugs attempt
to break its force by stating that it is in
transit for the Vest Indies and French
colonies, and that it goes through New
York because it is more profitable to
ship it that way. As by far the greater
part of the coin comes from Germany
this explanation is not,plausible, as it is
not likely that that country would be
sending millions of gold to English and
French colonies. The fact is the bal
ance of trade is in favor of the United
States, and European nations must
send gold here to pay their debts, as
their silver coins would have to be dis
posed Of at their bullion value.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1885-12-21
A NEW Process.

Jacob Gooding, of Reno, who was IN
town Saturday, says new process ior
separating gold and silver from the
baser metals has been tried at Peavlne
with astonishing success. The ore Is
roasted in furnace, then treated Win
a chemical fluid which separates the
geld from the silver and both from the
gangue and baser metals. A three'ton
furnace and watts for treating the roasted
ore have been erected at Peavine, and
Mr.. Gooding says the refractory ores OF
that district are worked up to SO per
cent of their assayed value, and the
gold and silver is over 900 fine. Th
cost of treating ores by this process
does not exceed So 80 per ton where
fuel is not too high.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1885-12-21
DISCOUNT ON SILVER.

1t appears that the California banks
are taking as decided stand against
silver as those Of New York aud Bos.
ton. In Sacramento they have placed
q discount of one. fourth of one per cent
upon all silver which they receive.
They argue that silver accumulates SO
fast in their vaults that they have to
ship the surplus frequently to other
places and the discount is to cover the
expense of such shipments. Congress
ought to prevent by legislation national
banks from discounting money which it
has made legal tender, for the pur.
pose of making it expensive for the
people to use it in preference to bank
notes. There is no good reason why
banks should be permitted to regulate
the finances of the country and, by con.
certed action, nullify the laws of Con.
gress.
