THE SILVER MINERS’ INTEREST.
It is a well known fact that the sil¬
ver mine owners maintain a large and
well pnid lobby in Washington to plan
and dicker for free silver legislation.
It is natural that they should do so. for
free silver coinage Would put millions
into their pockets ami they can afford
to pay liberally for the advocacy ^ >f the
scheme:
The Atlanta Constitution says:
“The government will not give the
miner a cent for his bullion nor reeeive
a cent for it. The government will
simply take each 412 1-2 grains of
standard silver, create it into money
by making it a full legal tender in (lie
payment of debts and taxes, an<l seal
it with the stamp of the people's au¬
thority.”
Who but the silver miner has (he
412 1-2 grains of silver which the gov¬
ernment would stand ready to coin and
stamp as a dollar of full legal tender
quality? When (he silver producer
now takes 412 1-2 grains of silver to
market, he offers it for about 411 cents.
It would be decidedly more agreeable
to him to have the government take it
and make it into i\ legal tender dollar
lor him. This is what lie is after and
what he is paying hi - lobbyists to bog
for.
In order to prove the fallaev of the
“silver miner argument,” the (’onsti
tution uses the following illustration:
“Apply it to the coal miner, and its
idiocy becomes apparent at once. Why
should people continue to put money
in the poekets of these miners by con¬
suming coal and iron? The answer to
this is an answer to the “silver miner”
argument. The advantages that the
coal and iron miners reap from the
consumption of their products by the
people arc infinitesimal when compared
with the benefits conferred on human¬
ity by the use of coal and iron.
If this is the best our contemporary
can do, it is hard pressed indeed. Its
illustration would lit the case if the
coal miner who sells his product for
s4-> a ton to ordinary customers
f,houlJ , <lult the K«vernnient
make it. worth f5a ton. if our neigh¬
bor puts silver and coal in the same
category it should be logical and fail
in its treatment of both.
Suppose a silver miner owes a coal
miner *1,000. If he paid him iu sil¬
ver bullion now it would require over
two t' ousand times 412 1-2 grains of
silver to discharge tlie debt. If the
government would only take every
412 1-2 grains of silver that could he
brought to the mints and make o.it of
it a legal tender dollar, the silver mine
owner could pay hi, debt for coal for
^ . much oi ins own p-duct . , as is
now required. This would be a very
nice arrangement for the man who
happened " to own a; ilver mine instead
