This sum, il is said, is beiog used judiciously in thnee sections ol country where the sentiment of the people is strongest sgainit silver inflation. Democrats are generally considered as "all right," and no work in needed in the toutb and west, but in the east, bright and actiie young lawyers who have some influence in their respective respec-tive localities are id to have bten hired at from $1,000 to $2,000 eaeh to write and speak iu favor of silver, and so turn the tide in its favor. In the meantime the owners of silver mines are said to be carefully running their drifts aod adits on half lores aud lime, to avoid a glut of silver in the market and thus keep up its price as much as possible until the fats of the Bland bill is decided. Becsnt discoveries of ohemists and miilingists in tbe science of cupellation have been so important that some of them claim that they ran even melt upshoet lead and piping inordinary use and ex tract a sufficient per centage of silver to make the operation largely profitable, profit-able, and arrangements have been already made to reopen tbe workings of many abandoned mines of poor ores under new cupellating processes, if the hill should paee. |
