THE PRECIOUS METALS.
Output of Silver and Gold I'm 1901 and TIN
Varying Prices Of the Former.

Varying Prices Of the Former.
Albert Williams. in Engineering Magazine.
The output of gold does not vary much
from year to year. 1t would be consider
ably larger if the great hydraulic mines of
California had not boon hampered by ad-
navigable rivers and the farm lands below
them from damage by debris. There
Is q strong reaction against the
repressive laws. which have indirectly
hurt the farmers rs well as the
miners, and it will not be surprising If in
time the resumption of hydraulic mining in
that State, under somewhat modified con-
diti0ns. should augment the annual gold
yield. In 1891 the United States produced
about 100000 ounces from all sources
ores. aud the value was Se3, $50. 1000.
About 5s.0OO.0OO ounces of silver came
from American mines In 1891, which would
have o nominal value Of S74.s2o.0OO at the
full coming rate, but which sold for much
less rs bullion. For 1890 the output had
been only $4,000 900 ounces, and the gain
was thus a pronounced ono. The silver pro-
duction may be valued in several ways.
The nominal coming value in this country
erage of the quotations for the
Industry (DenSer. CoI,.) at So.ss55 per
ounce. and the actual receipts of the pro.
Thus in comparing the records Of o series
of years. it becomes necessary to make
allowance for fluctuations in tho price of
silver, If the product Is stated At its com
merciai value. In 1891 the price fell off
about 5s cents per ounce from the average
for 1890. 1t cannot be said
that the market prices were NJ
footed by the increase in productions;
and on the othcr hand there are too many
other factors besides the quotations in
vnlvad in thu pnintn1 nrOl,laOa m m h. ~
appear that they have any immediate or
direct effect upon production In the past
year the yield increased and the price de-
clined. but there was no necessary con-
nection between the two changes, the price
legislation by the present Congress. Gold
is always rated at its full coming value of

No other method of securing a Repub-
lican victory at the polls is so certain ns
the circulation of Republican papers
among voters. Since the reduction in

have poured in from all parts of the

In order { have the proper influence
and effect upon voters seeking for trust
worthy information the Journal should

spring or summer Clubs are being
formed and agencies established wher-
ever daily mails reach. and as rapidly

service than to interest themselves In

now stands, for centuries. Our family
history goes back into the prehistoric
times. We have never been very fam

ages; but we were too much on the side
of liberty, of free speech and free
thought to act with the powers that be.
There was never time, until my
