TIE SALT LAKE HERALD. TUESDAY. JUNE 25 1895.

! from the ores brought up from the
depths in the mountains where the
deposits occasionally occur, are yet
sadly in the dark as to the cost of
silver production and imagine that its
profits are always enormous.
Now we are of the opinion that the
cost of silver production has very lit
tie if any thing to do with the great
question that now confronts the coun-
try. Silver is naturally adapted for
all the purposes to which money can
| be put. Whether it costs little or
much to bring it into a condition for
use as coin, it is a fact that the coun-
! try is in need of bimetallic money
policy. A return to the monetary
unit of former times is the necessity
of the period. Silver is wanted as
well as gold in the currency of the
nation. Why should the cost of its
production enter into this question
| any more than the cost of the produc-
ton of gold?
There are rich deposits of the yell
low metal which yield astonishing
returns to the investors in the gold
mining industry. The cost of its pro-
duction is some rare instances has
been less than a dollar an ounce. But
who raises question as to the thick
ness of gold as a measure of values
because it has been produced at so
small a cost. The profits and losses
in gold mining will be found on in
vestigation to even up, so that in the
aggregate a dollar in gold has cost at
least a dollar to produce it.
AS to silver, when the toll and time
of prospectors the rarity of discover
les, the expense of mining, the cost OF
machinery, the various processes
through which ores have to be put in
order to extract the precious metal
are taken into consideration, it will
be found that every dollars worth of
silver brought into actual use has
cost much more than a dollar to pro-
duce it. 1t is estimated by persons
familiar with the whole question that,
calculating the losses with the gains
every dollars worth of silver has cost
two dollars in its production.
Very few silver mines are now pay
ing expenses. Here and there a great
mine like the Ontario is yielding
dividend. Hundreds of silver mines
are closed. Thousands of silver min
ers are either idle or engaged in other
than their usual occupation. There
is no danger of the over production of
silver. The whole world cannot yield
any more than is needed for the bust
ness of the world AS the production
Of the precious metals-silver and
gold-increases so do the monetary
wants of the increasing populations
of the world increase.
Business interests multiply as ma
lions come into closer and swifter
communication and as new areas
are opened to settlement and civil
cation. Silver mines are not illimit-
able or perpetual sources of supply.
Great deposits become exhausted. /.
new discoveries are made old mines
become worked out. Silver as well as
gold has been used as the money Of
the world from time immemorial. 1t is
the true companion of gold in finan-
cial life. The sooner it is restored to
its proper place in the monetary
transactions of this nation the better
it will be for ali classes OF the COM
munity.

tirely for colored people. and called for

COST OF SILVER.

Silver mining men think that the
Subject of the cost of producing silver
bullion is not made quite prominent
enough. They think it should be held
up frequently before the attention of
the country It is true that there is
great and wide spread misunder-
standing on this matter.
The majority of the people outside
of the mining regions have an idea
that in certain spots the hills are full
of silver, and all that the fortunate
finders of the white metal have to dc
is to dig it out and melt it up into
bars ready for the market Others
who arc but little better informed,
but who understand something of the
process by which silver is extracted

| phis. and one Republican, at Cleve-
land. At which was the silver issue
championed? At which did the cham
pionship go to the length of declaring
war upon the goldite control of these
two party machines? The contrast is
sharp and clear. The Republicans
postponed the issue until it's quad
riennial machine meeting, in hope that
some lucky event, like international
bimetallism, might dispose Of the
issue altogether. Democracy, and
Southern Democracy at that, pro-
claimed its purpose to stand by the
white metal with or without the ma
chine.
Why does not the contemporary,
representing a Western and even a
mining constituency, have the courage
to defy the gold-machine
alliance, instead of taking the imbecile
attitude it shows in its criticism on less
than a dozen Southern editors who
much less represent Southern senti-
ment than the papers of Chicago
represent their constituency. 1t
knows, or should know, that the policy
of the powerful goldite minority is to
divide and conquer.
The expressions, and that silence
which gives consent, of the Cleveland
League were entirely directed to the
sowing of discord among the silver adj
herents, and is the beginning and the
end of the Republican policy. The
contemporary knows, or ought to
know, that unless the sentiment of the
West and South can be combined, the
silver cause will be scattered and lost.
Why, then, does it throw eggs ait the
only practicable political movement
thus far made in behalf of silver re-
monetization, and why does il accord
such gleeful yivas at the Cleveland
policy insidiously but directly devised
to do this very thing? There were
Democrats at Memphis, and many of
them, who boldly stated their resolve
to leave the Democratic party if it
failed to champion the cause OF silver.
Were there any Republicans at Cleve-
land who served a similar warning on
the Republican machine managers?
Not one.
The contemporary either should quit
its prating on the silver question, or
cease defending by misdirection, in
direction and by positive statements
the enemies who are doing their all
to destroy it. a display of will and
nerve on the part of silver men just
now, when the forces that will govern
the coming official conventions are be-
ing organized, will go a great way in
turning the political battle. 4 display
of pecksniffian partisanship viii be
taken at it's true value-cowardice
vaciIlation and weakness.

THAT COUNTY INVESTIGATION.

The selectmen of Salt Lake county
think the remarks of The Herald in
( reference to the resolutions passed by
| the county court on Saturday, Judge
McNally dissenting, reflect on them
rather severely and to some extent
! unjustly. The Herald has no dispo-
sition TO be unfair to anybody. It's
| remarks concerning the changes which
were made in those resolutions were
based upon the report of the proceed
ings of the county court as it appeared
in the morning papers.
The Herald stated that the select
men were saved from being placed in
very unpleasant place by the pru-
dence and common sense of Judge Nc
Nally, who took the legal and sensible
position in reference to the whole
batch Of resolutions. The selectmen
claim that while it is true that Judge
McNally objected to the resolutions,
and said there was no evidence offered
to the court of collision between the
furniture company and the ex-officials
of this county, yet that it was not be-
cause of his objections that the
char ges in the resolutions were made.
The claim that they themselves OBJ
jected to certain portions of the reso-
lutions and had them expunged.
They also say that the statements
made that the agent of the furniture
company offered to make a statement
when he was here and was not per-
mitted to do so, is a mistake. He did
make a statement to the court but was
not examined by the county attor-
ney.
AS to the amount of the over
charges for the furniture supplied,
they say that as much as a hundred
per cent was charged above the actual
market value of the goods.
1t matters very little at whose in
stance the changes in the resolutions
were effected. If they had been passed
in their original form they would not
only have exposed the court to public
ridicule but something more serious
might have come from the blunder.
Whatever people may think or surmise
as to the probable facts, it is certain
that no proofs of collision or fraud or
corruption on the part Of the old
county court have been presented dur
ing the progress of this investigation.
Whether or not Judge NdcNally was the
cause of the modification in the resolu-
tons to which he was opposed III toto,
it is very clear that he pointed
out their defects and showed both le-
sal and common sense in the objec-
tons which he interposed.
The Herald has endeavored to give
to the public a fair and full account
of the inquisition held upon the furni-
ture matter. 1t has found no fault
with the selectmen for instituting the
inquiry. If it is possible for US to aid
in getting at the bottom facts of this
affair, we shall be pleased
to assist to the extent OF our power
and ability.
We presume the investigation is not
at an end. 1t ought not TO come TO a
sudden stop now. Enough has been
shown to make it apparent that there
is more which ought to be brought
TO the surface. To drop it now would
be almost "a confession of failure.
Whatever of fraud there is connected
with this furniture scandal ought to be
fully exposed and the guilty be brought
to the bar and punished according to
their deserts.

THOSE SOUTHERN EDITORS.


1t is always amusing to watch a
little boy build cob houses for the pur-
pose of knocking them down. A Re
publican contemporary, in order 10
prove that the South could not be
depended upon for free silver argues
that the masses of Chicago were in
favor of free silver in spite of the fact
that it is full of rampant gold pa
pers." Because less than a dozen edi-
tors of Southern newspapers were
sought out by the Associated Press
agent of the goldite bureau of educa-
ton that were opposed to free silver,
the same paper infers that the fact
is evidence that the South IS goldite,
while Chicago is free silver in spite
of its press.
The metropolitan press as a whole
has ceased to represent public opinion.
Generally, it is as much in the control
of the oiigarchy, as the party machines
are. Besides. they usually represent
the interests of the commercial class,
and not the producers, and this class
is never favorable TO any change
whatever, and in this there is no diff
ference between Chicago and New
Orleans.
Any student of Southern political
conditions of the past. few years must
have noticed that the rebellion against
the machine order of things has pro
ceeded to greater length than in any
other section; scattering its energies,
however, on Populism and other po-
lif;oal fodS from want IF ov,,,o,.t,,,;+,,
to concentrate. It is also clear to all
students of the silver question that it
can never be settled favorably until
the machines are either broken or
come into control of the silver people.
On this we have just had two club
conventions-one Democratic, at Mem
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-25

The Democratic contention is by no
means that silver certainly will find
vindication at the hands of the Democ-
racy; it simply is, that free silver men
have much more reason to expect re-
moaetization and free coinage from
that party than from their opponents
The conclusion is justified by the
record in Congress. by the historical
attitude Of the parties, by the strength
of the silver cause in the Democratic
south, by the outspoken attitude of
most Of the Democratic leaders for free
coinage and by the universal 'consen-
sus of opinion throughout the country.
