act of the Administration. 1t is I'M
Just discrimination VS. Nevada and
in favor of the Philadelphia and
New Orleans MINIS at a public loss.
Our production of the precious
metals should have guaranteed us
the constant employment Of the
Carson Mint. 1t surely is the Mint
which ought to be kept running so
long as there is use for a Mint in
the US. The materials used to
run it with are produced at its very
door. Silver and gold being the
principal industry of our State.
Surely it cannot be the policy of
any wise or just Government to
cripple and perhaps totally destroy
the leading Industry of any section
of its country for the purpose OF
counting the friendship of the
money bags of the Eastern cities
alien governments. | for one am
sick of the financial quackery OF our
Government as displayed in the
treatment of this question minis,
silver and finances generally. L sin
cerely believe that if the question
was handled in a judicious man
ner silver could be raised to par in
a few weeks. The whole host OF
our enemies can be brought into
camp by bold aggressive policy IN
this matter. Let the Government
pay the indebtedness and interests
accrued to date in silver coin and
all the pack of financial wolves, be
he of Abraham Of the Cross, who
are now bowling at our heels, would
in short time be our strongestallles
on the principal that self preserva-
ton is the first law of nature. Bank
ers are no fools and they would
quickly see that in order to protect
their gold they must unite with US
in raifing silver to par. We must
enhance the value of silver they
say, because they now have to take
it themselves. If such step was
taken by our Treasury Department.
They would soon see the Latin
Union and her wealth, and all can
easily be dumped in the Sinks of
Carson and Humboldt, wheel into
line and keep US to fight for silver
as earnestly, as it now opposes 1t.
The financial policy of the nation
is a sad commentary on the wisdom
and craftsmanship of our officers. |
Our MINIS are closed down; our
vaults full Of money; our precious
metals abundant and yet our ac-
counts due and payable and big Oh
the wrong side of the ledger and
bearing interest, What govern
ment carried on by men with any
claim to even common sense would
shut down its Touring mill while 1t
owes other nations millions OF
pounds of -four, its own citizens
starving for bread and at the same
time its public and private ware
houses overfowing with wheat, and
all this occasioned by the refusal OF
the foreign governments, and few
of its own citizens destitute of just
ice, patriotism and fair dealing, to take
its pay in flour according to the terms
of its contract, but want to force its
payment in cotton or tobacco, not flour.
A private person conducting his bust
ness in such manner would be sent
10 Reno, and a government following
such a policy should be sent to-iot
Springs. Go ahead with your work,
and God speed you, say l. Thanking
YOU for your kind invitation, l remain
very respectfully, Yours.
