few nights ago it occurred to O'Noill
that nature had some claims upon him
of paramount Importance with those of

ho suddenly broke of the conversation,
which took place i'll the lobby of the

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION,

Why should we not have in Sacra-
mento q mandatory of silverware
Why should not this place become the
center of the manufacture of plate for the
world? The artisan work on silverware
is paid the same in every country. 1t be-
longs to the realm of art aud has, there
fore no standard scale of wages.
Silver spoons and forks are sold at re-
tail at 81 an ounce. In other forms plate
contains in bullion value about II per
cent. of the retail price.
tains about Sl2 worth of bullion. Thus,
The record-union., 1895-06-18

except as to spoons and forks, the labor
and mercantile profit amounts to about
S9 per cent. of the retail price of plate. It
is more than probable that this percent
age is greatly in excess of any reasonable
demand. The plated ware has about as
much labor expended upon it as that
made of pure silver. The form and mold
and skilled labor is about the same. But
Notwithstanding this, base metal ware
sells for a price which leaves no such
margin for profit as that demanded for
pure silverware. A plated vase with
about the same cost of artisan work on
pure silver will sell for $40, when 500
will be demanded for the manufacture
from the pure metal. And yet the bullion
in the 500 article will cost $40 to So.
1t is surprising that the silver miners
have not long since attended TO it that
silverware should have been made 50
cheap as to become an article Of domestic
use in almost every household. In this
way a vast demand for silver bullion
might be created and the consumption of
the metal aid the effort to maintain the
traditional parity OF value with gold. AT
all events here is a line of manufacture
where we have both the material and
labor as cheap as they are anywhere in
the world fully entrenched behind a
high rate of impost duties. Then why
don't we manufacture silverware for the
world?
