A Point to Remember.

There is one point which should not be lost sight of in this discussion. This is the fact, which cannot be denied, that the administration,for some reason best known to itself, has not made great effort to place silver in general circulation throughout the country. This great population of 65,000,000 of people, widely scattered over an immense continent, from Alaska to Florida, can absorb a very large amount of silver, and would do bo were a fair opportunity offered. We repeat what we have previously urged that all the stlpendaries of the national government, from president down—or up—to pensioners, be paid in good silver dollars, each worth 100 cents. Then the bursting vaults of the federal treasury will be relieved of their weighty burden, and the white metal, which now lies idle in the shape of bullion, will perform the useful service for which it was intended.—Los Angles Times.
