Show z or OF ald AND AHO gome bouto days since wo we briefly referred to some of alio point which would come under tho consideration of 0 tho the bimetallic conference amonis those these w was the point as to whether the tha precious metals that IN 1 gold and silver olivor were now being produced in too largo quantities iuan titles lor for one OBO or the other to remain a measure of values and tho the probable continuance of tho the volume of 0 gold soil aull especially of 0 silver that tho the world could count upon for or the future that conference will be untrue to itself it if it does docs noi take that ocL oct to io do that it will havo have to look 0 or the world to soo where silver la Is being produced and the proba probability billLy ot of its continuance tin ti nuance tiance in largo large quantities tuoro there Is no an impression in the hast east that the ho supply of sliver ll Is inexhaustible that all that thai it needs la is what would bo be needed of 0 iron mines that as is the united states stales ji now producing more iron than any other nation lit in tho the vs world orld still if 11 a re arico could b paid lor for it 11 the quantity could easily bo be multiplied if necessary ono hundred old fold so the impression 14 1 abroad that should silver bo be restored to 10 its old ratio with gold it would be possible lor for tho the silver minors ol of tile tho west to doable doimo or quadruple the I 1 output and keep up that supply indefinitely in tho fut future fire of OC course wo we in tho the west know knew boiler better vo a know that it if sliver silver could be restored to its old figura of hero would for or two or throe letof or perhaps lor for tun ten years to come bo be an increased output amounting probably to ono one third more than Is now being produced A at the same little wo we know that what were the groat great mines of tho the west fifteen years ago havo have to produce now flow the co comstock lestock has hai if never ver yielded any ore lit in paying quantities below tile the 17 1700 00 fout level wo we do not liot bellei a 0 the most szu sau baloo comstock tuan man expects that ebora will v en eor or be found a bon

Ui iroka nov which yielded j folded so for about twelve years are worked out lit in aurora the ore are bodies were worked out in four or five years in candelaria tile the great mine that yielded millions of dollars Is practically extinct the same is ia truo true of 0 belmont Belmo nl there them aro are ot be r mines bhat will wl bo be found indeed there aro are other mines that already havo have been found under tinder normal conditions lad ald cheap transportation will pay their owners noll noil and supply labor to thousands of men for ton tea or fifteen years to come tho the old theory wn wai that tho the life of a mine was immortal that camo came from the tha fact act that in the hartz mountains and in the mines of south america by the old tedious processes they were worked continuously for hundreds of years but when our mines were discovered american methods vsera substituted for tho the old obsolete methods and tho the work of a hundred y years cars was dono done in ID two years tears with all if tio mines now being worked and with all that there ll Is any pros pact oct or of having opened it Is a earo safe proposition that they cannot ill all together keep up with the increasing trado of tho the world our oar own country as yet Is but halt half suba lied the roads are only half built tho the cities aro are only halt half built billt milious mil ioas of nerr acres s of land remain yet to bo be the rivers havo have got to bo be turned turu oil there la Is no end to tho the work and our country stands out a marvel in comparison with all tho tha rost rest of the continent think of what Is to bo be done to mako of the sh countries such a land as aa ours ouri wo we moan mean such aland a land in the way of roads of cultivated fields lit in the way ot of material improvements in ants lu ia the way of schoolhouse schoolhouses i 4 la in the way of civilization really alonce we abert as crt and defy contradiction that the silver in our hells was placed hero for or alo purpose of doing this work arid and that our nation and the nations of the world did more than mako make a lots mistake whon they reduced it to a commodity they aimed a blow at civilization they aimed a blow at pros which when it Is hampered or crippled means that mat civilization slows lows down it moans means that fewer ewer men will hao haio aas employment it II moans means that bitsi work will bo be por formal it means that lower men and and women will bo be educated it means that comparativo comparative comfort will bo be taken away from tile tho masses that as always comes where there Is 1 a contraction lit in tho the currency what wealth thero there Is gravitates to the tha wealthy who become careless car olesi and brutalized brut alizad and they thay in turn work their schemes upon tho the necessities of 0 tho the poor and thus the manhood find womanhood of a country becomes tainted this has been the worlds world experience among nations quite as strong as ours it ft used to bo be a saying in ia rome that for years yean there was wa not ono one unfaithful wife in all that imperial city it was said that no more itier after roman koman conquests

our country Is suffering more every year than it would through an ordinary war because of the of silver liver that Is as in material losses since 1873 because of the iho demona tim tion of silver our
