market price OF silver. These purchases
average possibly half million ounces
per month and are reported to the treas
ury weekly.
Second. It is not true that London
prices have been used as q basis of silver
purchases under the new law during the
last administration. Not only was the
London price the only price used in maxi
ing purchases, but the department did
not pay the equivalent of London price,
as the records of the mint bureau will
SHOW, but made counter offers to bid
ders, on the theory that silver was
worth less in New York than in London
by the cost of transportation and insur-
ance across the water. The present ad-
ministratlou has been governed in its
purchases by New York price, and has
paid at times in excess of the highest
prices 81 which certificates sold in the
city the same day, and of course the gov
ernmen. accept the lowest bid for the
sale of silver, but il does not reject q
bid for the reason that it exceeds the
London price, and ii there are no lower
bids will accept any bid within the high
est New York prices. At no time since
the passage of the new silver law, indeed
for some months before, has the treasury
felt itself limited in its acceptance to
London prices.
Third, in regard to the government
quotations being on a decimal basis, it
may be said the government has no scale
OF its own, and bidders use whatever
scale suits them best; any person y no
has silver may offer II at any price he
likes. II any house happens to bid a
decimal lower than another Is the gov
eminent to decline the lower bill because
OF the decimal? The idea of any selling
having advanced information as to the
price to the government is ridiculous and
impossible. Offers for sale OF silver are
all made by telegraph within a few
minutes of l O'Clock, and the treasury
has no idea of what it would pay until
being governed entirely by the offers.
These offers are entered In book, and
the offers are passed on by the director
OF the mint, who recommends what ones
be accepted or rejected, and the book is
then taken to the secretary of the treas
ury and each offer ia passed on separately
and personally by him, and the bidders
are notified by telegraph of the accept
snce or rejection of their bids. The
minutes. II there can be any fairer
method devised for purchasing silver
than by public competition 1t would be
difficult to conceive of such method. 1t
is a method which has been pursued by
the treasury under all administrations
since 1873.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-02-22

Editor Morning NetVS: 1t is surprising
that many people are unable to attach
value to land situated 50 far from the city
that actual building upon it cannot be con-
templated in the near future The remark
is often heard, "Why, the city will not
cover this territory in twenty years." or
nifty years." as the case may be. This
may be true, but have such people consid-
cred that land is worth something to hold
as an investment? IL is not necessary for
the city to coUer it, but only to approach
1t, to keep the prices moving upward. 1t is
not probable that land north OF Savannah
river will be any higher in twenty years
than it is now; the city is not going that
t0dy; but land south OF the city should in
crease IN value IN proportion to its growth
IN that direction. When the city actually
covers this land, of course they who have
been able to hold long enough will realize
enormous profits, but there is big profit
III it before that time. Savannah must
stop growing southwark or land in that
direction must steadily increase in valus;
and, II this increase is retarded by circum-
stances for time, it will be only for
time, as city may be like led to hive of
bees-when it becomes too crowded, some
of them must 90.
There are other people who want to
speculate merely; they desire TO buy lot
Tor 500 and sell it in a week for $500.
Well, to all such we must say that Savan-
nah is not that kind OF place. and glad we
are that it is not. Such q state Of things,
If it existed here, would not be healthy.
What sensible people want in an investment
is as much certainty as they can get, and
certainty is what is offered to those who
put their money in suburban lands any
where this side of Cuyler Swamp. To such
as these we will say, Buy your land and lie
down and take Rip Van Wrinkle sleep if
you like, with absolute assurance that when
you wake up you y i'll fiud yourself greatly
enriched during your siesta
