Mr.. Binghsm-AlI mints have an assay |

Mr.. Kswiands-Yes; but there 10 no
mint 81 81. Louis, although you have an
assay Office there. For all practical pnr-
poses 81. Louis IL about as remote from |
tbs mining regions ~ 10 Philadelphia. |
We regard 81. Louis ~ . portion OF tho |
great East, not OF the great West.
Bat how 10 10 with Charlotte, N. OIL
Will the gentleman claim that there 10 |
necessity for Q mint there? II there 10
any large production Of either silver or
gold there. that is another question. The
appropriation committee give q consider |
able sum for the Charlotte, N. o., assay |
Office. Now. l have no objection In the
10 their having suoh an ofice there. |
II. | repeat, there 10 any production what
OF gold or silver In North Carolina. |
that production should be stimulated by
the government Of the United States. and
n the creation Of an assay office In the
regions will stimulate that indus
try. ! claim that there should be no hest
tation in making an appropriation for 10.
But. Mr.. Chairman, I an opposed to the
system OF sppropriating to the East all OF
