It should be said here, that the mining interest of the west owes its salvation from utter oblivion, to President Roosevelt. Roose-velt. The new gold price was vitally energizing to the western mining Interests Inter-ests of the United States, while it was a master-stroke of financial policy for the nation, and even a world benefit. The recognition of silver was even of greater K :"v",:r" .L.B:;T!and Deposit company stating Mr. Jerome importance uo lx mmiug iuiCO ox , west. Silver was staggering over ;the . Hoover chasm at 26 cents an ounce, and : most of the mines were closed Then came a message of salvation In a price for domestic silver rising and set at 77.57 per ounce. The reduction last year to 64.64, closed some of the mines and made it harder for others. It must be remembered that silver and gold are found in combination with other valuable metals, and the combined values make mining possible, usually. My belief is and has been, that if domestic id" the "ActP bv fhe0nceongre" To I instruct to info them S lh slat-id slat-id the Act by the Congress to mts n interest and un- ounce, and buv foreian silver" was repealed, it would boom the mining interest of the west, which would add to the nations great advantage, and relieve the attack of the opponents of silver. Regardless of party politics, I have never found an exception among hundreds, hun-dreds, yes thousands of men, to this idea of repeal of buying foreign silver; and of raising the domestic silver price. If silver opponents could realize, that taking domestic silver to the government mints, to receive 77 cents an ounce plus, or even one dollar, and that the government govern-ment gets the balance from the standard stan-dard coinage value of 1.29 plus, as a seniorage profit; that the government Issues Is-sues silver coin or bills to pay for it, and that here Is a profit not an outlay. It is the unlimited buying of silver in the open market of the world, and borrowing the money at interest to pay for it, then piling lt up in costly vaults without apparent use, that irks the opponents op-ponents of silver, as well as the domestic producers of sliver. If the President will but take the bull by the horns, and put domestic silver at one dollar an ounce, that power pow-er has been given him, and recommend to the congress the repeal of the world wide buying of silver; he will strike a popular chord, and be doing the nation a service. fc Does this nation realize, that Gold and me iuwhm ---- s" - .r : r::;, s; as a lactor 01 oeiense 11 b than the navy or the army, or the for- tificatlons; because in It Is the power to create all and more of these.
