The San Francisco Chamber Of Com

New York Chamber urging the repeal Of
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
silver Act and amended them by adding
q clause favoring repeal only on condi-

continued use of silver 40 money should

MINERS As AoRICULrURIsTs.

The Denver Republican, in . recent
issue said: THE people Of the west
ern slope fruit valleys invite the inhabi-
tants Of the mining countries to remove
to those valleys and 60 into the fruit
business" This brilliant idea, promul-
gated by 9 man who defeated . silver
bill by his vote in Congress, was ably
illusted by . striking cartoon in Sundays
Denver News. The picture represents.
first, an exodus from Colorado mining
camps to the fruitful valley of that
State. In the once thifty and wealth.
producing camps are to be seen the fol-
lowing signs: "Pitkin, For Rent"
aspen, For Rent;" "Leadville, For
Rent" Georgetown, For Rent" etc.
Then comes several illustrations show.
ing how the miners are prospecting in
their new field of labor. One depicts .
miner and his family as living in q tent
while che waits for his orchard to
grow" The prospect is not encouraging
and the woe -begone expression on the
face OF his wife and the hungry look Of
his poorly clad boy is not pleasant for
the fruit growing miner to contemplate.
In one, two industrious but ill-advised
miners are blasting out potatoes with
dynamite. Another represents two men
gathering apples" with the aid Of a
hydraulic ram. The scheme is a success
and reflects credit on the early educa.
ton of the horticulturalists; but-the
people on the other side Of the divide
will make dumplings and pie out of the
apples. A third scene shows the ingenu-
ity Of the new tillers Of the soil. Hav-
ing saved . within from the wreck Of
their blasted hopes, they utilize part Of
it and q decrepit donkey in dragging a
pillow over the native heath Of the jack
rabbit and sagehen. The News has done
its duty and has shown how easy it
would be (f) for 10000 miners to
make q living at fruit raising, especially
if they began operations in midsummer,
or just before the snow began TO fly

THEY HAVE THE VOTES.

F,om the Southern and Western
STATES, whose people are undoubtedly in
favor Of silver coinage, there are over
40 members Of the House. This com.
pstation leaves out the Democrats from
porth Of the Potomac. In the Senate
there are at least 30 Democrats from the
strong free coinage States. The mem
bers of both Houses from these States
have large msjorities in the Democratic
caucuses. Without counting the Popu-
lists or silver State Republicans there
are Democrats enough to pass . coinage
bill, unless their northeastern colleagues
refuse to enter the Ii both
parties abandon caucuses on the money
question there are enough Western Re.
publiesns to give q silver coinage major
ity in each House. Holding that pre-
ponderance, the friends Of free coinage
ought to be able to pass q bill which will
satisfy the people. Why, then, should
they abandon offensive operations and
retire behind the crumbling defenses OF
the Sherman Act? IL the Presidents
veto the apparision that frightens them !
It is not certain that Mr.. Cleveland
would veto a coinage bill. And if he
would he would take the responsibility.

The sweeping reduction in salaries and
expenses about 10 take place on the

down some years ago. The whole out.

tenn which has nearly wrecked IL. Some

mine really had In the treasury. There
have been In many instances, some OF
which we have quoted, more officials
than working miners employed. Now
not only the officials but the miners must
feel the pinch, for wages as well as sals'
ries are TO come down. As will be seen
by . statement in our Mining Summary

325 miners as work on the Comstock at

accept 50 per day, 1000 men can be put
to work. II is pretty certain that this
reduction will take place. As there are
so many idle miners in the country there
are plenty who will be glad to get -.
They are all in want Of employment.
The Miners Union has doubtless seen
this coming for . long time. The mem.
bers will naturally not want to accept
this reduction, but il is better for them
to do il than quit work altogether. The
Comstock mines have such . good pro-
portion of gold in their ore that they
can be worked under more favorable
conditions than most silver properties.
Bat they cannot, under present circum.
stances, keep going on any extensive
scale and pay the salaries and wages now
being paid. The question has been put
off lorg enough, but must now be faced.
The ularied officials have signed an
agreement, and other reductions are ex.
pected to follow.-Mining and Scientific

Congressman Bowers Of the Seventh
Congressional District has declared uns-
quivocally for free coinage. In a speech
at San Diego be said the silver question
is the great and overshadowing n OF
the United States and his vote
would, perhaps, be of great impor-
tance in deciding the question in Con-
gress, his constituents naturally wish
to know where he stands. Said the
speaker:
II shall vote for free silver. People
may not comprehend ell the intricacies
of the silver question, but they realize
the results. The farmer knows when he
gets 60 cents for Q bushel Of wheat in
stead Of 81. Matters are continually
worse and II the present conditions are
not remedied you will see the hardest
times within the next year that have
ever been experienced. Why are times
growing worse! Because the people are
leaving all legislation to certain classes,
and these work only for one purpose. for
the sggrandizement Of the banditti Of
Wall street.

ally . notice for Congress to meet and

hind the silver question, and this great

Since the India Council order all the
petty ~insnciers whose minds are too
soft to hold the impression Of q princi-
pie have abandoned everything else and
sworn eternal allegiance to the single
gold standard.
All the able experts, even II they are
monometsllists, reserve . decision until
events set the limits to the effects Of
India's coinage revolution.
II takes o mind whose muliebrity is
an overstock to know all about what
ought to be done before il finds out what
has been done. There are persons on
both sides Of the money question who
get up policies in . minute. Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, George Ma.
son. Luther Martin and John Jay
thought, talked and investigated for
years before they got to the Constitution
Of the United States, but . Karl Marx
Socialist or q John Sherman monometsl-
list can beat all those giant publicists
Of the foundation period. He can see
into the future and tell all about il by
merely translating q Marx ansthema or
parrotizing a Sherman interview.
Advices are creeping in from London
and Calcutta which indicate that the
British masters Of India are not so sure
of their position. Prices of commodi.
ties are beginning to luctuate and trade
10 on the anxious seat. With q silver
currency India kept her products near .
stable level Of prices for a long term Of
years. The attack on silver is showing
signs Of q lowering of prices which may
arouse all the producing and mercantile
classes in India and the export houses Of
Manchester.
England, In assuming autocratic con-
troll Of the volume Of silver coinage, has
also assumed an obligation to maintain
the exchange value fixed for the rupee.
To do this the Government must be pre-
pared to redeem every rupee in gold ct
the valuation fixed. Gold is not at
present a legal tender and the Govern
ment hopes to drag out into circulation
the private stocks. Then ii will pro-
coed to make remittanoes Of taxes and
exchange to London in gold. But this
purely British programme will work
only If the India people 60 or n
concernedly in the use Of the silver ru-
pee and keep up the price Of commodi-
ties. In high financial circles of Lon
don serious doubts are expressed as 10
the Governments ability to stick TO tie
experiment.
While it is evident that the suspsn-
sion Of free coinage in India is an event
of extreme Importance to the finance Of
every nation, it does not settle the
world on . gold basis, for it is not q set
tied policy itself, and if IL were the final
outcome might be a union Of silver
owning nations In defense Of their prop
erty and trade. The single gold stand
ard lacks more Of being the perfect
money system than ii did before, be-
cause the India order is producing re-
suits which confirm the claims Of BIZ
metallists.-St. Louis Republic.

The newest and most plausible theory
In regard to the late disaster which oc.
Cured to the English war ship Victoria
has been suggested by Commodore Chad.
wick Of the United States navy. Ad-
miral Tryon, according to the Commo-
dore, who was personally acquainted
with the unfortunate officer, was hard
of hearing, the result Of the conclusion
from the FIRE Of heavy guns some years
ago. Commodore Chadwick thinks IL
very probable that the accident was di-
rectly attributable to his partial deaf
ness. He believes that Tryop, owing to
his partial difficulty in hearing. did not
understand the message brought to him
from the Captain Of the Victoria to the
effect that the signal was flying six In.
stead Of eight cables, which had been
decided upon % the proper distance for
making the change Of front which caused
the collision. This is the only explana-
tion the officer makes Of Tryon's action.
All the accounts 40 TO show that he WA
