Any number of New World
p~rospectors who have claimed that
they chad it right back there, if
the stuff ever got worth the COST"
will now have a chance to prove
up on the statements. Silver claim
holders and seekers, particularly
in the vicinity of Republic noun
tain, will have reason to flock up
to Cooke as soon as the snow goes
out in the spring, along with the
swarm of gold prospectors that is
expected to revive the busy days
on both sides of Soda Butte creek
and on the Clark's Fork head
waters.
Previously selling at from 20 to
as cents an ounce, silver rose to
64h cents after Roosevelt's order
to the government mint to coin
silver on a $3.50 basis-half of
the annual production of 24,000,-
900 ounces of silver to be returned
in dollars to the producers and the
other half to be kept by the treas
ury in reserve.
Effective Immediately, the or
der applies to newly mined silver,
and will be in effect until 1888.
The dollars coined from half of
such newly-mined silver will be
returned to the depositor, the
other half surrendered to be re-
tanned in the treasury. For four
years an estimated 100000
ounces of silver will be coined.
Advantages claimed for the ac-
ton by its proponents are an in
crease in foreign trade, world
sterilization Of the silver price at
64h cent san ounce, an increase
in foreign buying power, a boost
to commodity prices, and aid to
the domestic mining industry.
The London silver agreement
proposed by Senator Pittman,
Democrat, Nevada, at the eco
nomic conference provided that
the silver producing nations would
absorb 35,000,000 ounces of silver
annually for four years from their
mines in return for a promise by
the silver using countries of India,
China and Spain not to melt up or
debase their silver coins.
The West reacted heartily to
the presidents action. Nevada is
enthusiastic about silver again,
Utah mines announced their re-
opening, and such once-bustling
towns as L~eadville, Colo, received
the news as a real message of
Christmas cheer, celebrating in
accordance.
Sterilization of the currency on
a gold basis has been urged re-
peatedly by conservative schools
of economic thought in recent
months as the one sure means OF
restoring business confidence and
inducing a return to prosperous
times. Mr.. Roosevelt has made il
, clear, however, that he was moi
ready for such action, and would
not be until the general level OF
domestic commodity prices had in.
creased to a satisfactory level.
There was some comment Fri
day that in one essential the golC
and silver programs had the same
objective depreciation of the dol
lar in terms of foreign c~urrencies
a process which facilitates sale Of
American products abroad.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, al
inflationist, regarded the silver
order as a 'first step" and said hi
would continue fighting for out
right reconciliation of the metal
He was uncertain whether tht
world price of silver would re
spond to an extent sufficient!
great to be of any great benefi
to foreign trade.

March 4, the day when Franklin
Roosevelt will be inaugurated as the

of three months since the demands OF

Congress by the National Hunger
March. During the period since the
election, Roosevelt and his fellow
democrats in control. of Congress ane
of most state and city administra-
lions, have given ample evidence that
despite their demagogic prediction

gram with the same disregard for the
misery of the masses that was showr
by the Hoover Republican admins
