Production OF Silver

The world is now producing only
about 800, OOO, 900 worth of silver
annually, and over $iOO, OOO, 900 in the
meantime in gold. The business world
would he glad to use three or four times
rs much silver were it permitted to doso.
But the mining of silver is discouraged
by the gold standard adhercntS, and its
circulation is restricted by the banks,
bondholders, money loaners and people
of fixed Incomes and through their
influence II prejudice has gone aborad
over the world against the white metal.
Nearly all the great silver mines of the
world are worked out and abandoned,
or partially SO. and owing to the low
valuation placed upon silver no impetus
is given to its production.
Silver ut least deserves to mintain its
present ratio to gold, and this can he
accomplished only by an increased
market valuation. Such an increase
we need and should have. since it
would serve to promote greater activity
in the mining industry and ut the same
time place silver where it legitimately
belongs.
There was "A time not long ago when
silver mining was profitable, and one of
the great and grand Industries of the
world. Today it is a commodity,
mined as II by-product and degraded to
the rank of lead, copper and iron and
still is called a precious metal.-Mines

The greatest employment agency in
the world has been newly established Mt
Washington. 80 writes Rene Bache in
the Technical World Magazine for May.
1t is conducted by the government, and
its business will be to find work for
everybody. Jobs for over n million i'm
migrants from foreign lands have to be
obtained somehow every year, and
Uncle Sam proposes to take general
charge of this enormous task. But, n
addition, great numbers of native born
American citizens are in want of suit
able or permanent occupation, and n
their behalf the federal organization in
tends to make use of all its vast facili-
ties, with a view to enabling them to
q q satisfactory allowance of bread
and butter.
1t is a very desirable to find something
for the foreigner to do--to get him
away from the large centers of popu-
lation, where he has atendency to stag
nate and form colonies with others OF
his kind, and to ship him off to some
place where his labor is really wanted,
and where he will have a chance to live
and bring up his children under favor
able conditions. In a big city he dwells
in O slum and is liable to be a nuisance,
if not q menace. Provided with means
of earning q livelihood decently elsewhere,
he will in most instances become a use
full citizen.
To accomplish this very purpose the
division of information, as the new em-
ployment agency is called, has been es-
tablished as q branch of the bureau of
immigration. But, as above indicated,
it's facilities will also be used to help
natiye-bcrn Americans. The southern
states, for example, need labor, and
there has been n strong movement i'll
favor of turning the stream of aliens i'll
that direction. But n more mature
consideration of the subject has brought
conviction that it would he much more
desirable to send to that part of the
country the Americans who are to be
found at the present time in multitudes
elsewhere looking for n job.
With this introduction, Mr.. Bacho
tells of the most important experiment
now actually in progress at Washington.
1t is something new under the armament
for n government to undertake to find
work for citizens, and the enterprise is
a world-worder, which is making the
~anti-socialists gasp.
