GOLD AND SILVER.
Talk about silver driving gold
out of the country, it is the low
price of silver bullion that keeps
gold from coming into the coun
try mudh faster than it has already
done. Were silver bullion ad
vanced to a oar with gold, our
wheat ahdQtton exports, would
be largely: increased, and thus a
muchisrrgrnibunt of gold would
come from- Europe to the United
States eacK-yearC "'England keeps
thepricebf silver down as low
as possible, for her own especial
benefit, and does this in the face
of the fact that she neither con
sumes a large amount herself, nor
ever "lias a large stock in hand.
Upon. this point read what the depu
ty master of the British mint, 0. W.
Freemantle, wrote to H. R. Lin
derraan, the direotor of the Unit
ed States mint. He says: "With
reference to silver bullion, I am
informed by Messrs. Mocatta and
Goldsmid, bullion brokers for the
government, that there can scarce
ly be said to be any stock of sil
ver bullion in the United King
dom, as all that is produced, or
inported, is disposed of with as
little delay as possible; and that
the quantity kept at any refinery,
for trade purposes, is so variable
as not to be worth noticing."
Yet we find England, producing
no silver, nor keeping any stock
on hand, setting the market price
on that metal for all the nations
that produce and use it. Here is
John Bullism in all its presumpt
uous absolutism. It would seem
to be the natural order of things,
that the United States, the largest
producer, and one of the greatest
consumers of silver in the world,
should have something to say in
regard to what the price of the
white metal should be; but in
stead of that we find the
United States government play
ing the toady to England,
to such an extent, that
she has not the common hon
esty to pay her own silver miners
the value of their product. Thus
does our government dole out to
them just what John Bull says she
may. By this process the wheat
and cotton interests of India are
being rapidly built up at the ex
pense of those of the United
States, for as long as wheat and
cotton bought in India for four
rupees in silver, can be sold in
London for five rupees in silver,
owing to the low price which En
gland has put upon that metal, for
the very purpose of building up
her colonial empire to the detri
ment of America, so long will the
imports of these commodities in
crease in England from India, and
decrease from the United States.
But the worst feature of the case
is, England buys this cheap silver
for the most part from the United
States, with which she is slaughter
ing our great cotton, agricultural
and mining interests, and yet we
have so-called Americans who are
helping on this scheme. Give to
silver the same rights at the mint
that gold has, and that which
until a few years ago, silver
has always . bad, that right of
free and unlimited coinage, and
England's rule of ruin will be
over. No more cheap bullion will
be shipped from the Unite States;
the price of silver will rapidly rise
in the markets of the world, Indian
exports will rapidly diminish and
American exports increase, and
England will have to pay us a
much larger balance each year,
than she does now, and that in
gold.
It isa matter of importance to
the community that the river and
harbor bill passed the heuse on
the 27th inst., in precisely the
form that it came from the com
mittee. The additional appropri
ation of $125,000 for the mouth of
the Columbia, petitioned for by
the Astoria chamber of commerce
and so earnestly urged upon the
attention of the committees by our
able representatives in Congress
was included in it.
