overstocked , but Harwood
said he waaafraid of
higher prices and freight pools , and
would be responsible for the goods or
dered. About this tiino goods .began
to arrive , which he ( Morse ) had not
ordered , and he protested with Mr.
Harwood , and-asked if the buying

telling them th&t they should , if they

Four Bear and Rattling Rib made

tint was more than i' would cost to
build and rquip the road. They in
sisted that wan ho j-rico their ppnnle

them that the price offerei ! § 5 pjr
acre was four times as much as tMtti
to white men , but they still persisted
in their demand , nnd said they would
go homo again and talk to their pee

Where the Gold aud Silver Goes To.
CleTelacd leader.
The mint bureau authoritatively
states that during the past seven
yesra the mines of this country have
produced about $230,000,000 of gold
and 8271,500,000 of silver. Of this
production about 95i per cent of gold
and G0 | par cent , of silver reached
the mints and assay offices to be con
verted into coin or bars.
For some time in the past the di
rector of the mint hesbeen desirous to
obtain correct information as to the
c'ual uses of the domestic production
of the precious mctah. After his
report for 1879 he mailed
several thousands of circulars to
all the manufacturers of jewelry ,
[ jLito foil , chemictls and others con-
Miming jold nnd silver atking for in
formation. While many failed to
unmh the information sought , yet
enough returns have been made upon
which to predicate an approximation
to the amount uaad in the arts , cien-
css and manufactures. The total
amounts reported wen ab > at § 3,500-
OOU in fzold and § 355'JOvyJJ ' in surer.
Quite S255COCOO of the gold w 1
United States c in , while only § oOO-
000 was in silver coin. This emnll
amount of silver coin used , in proportion
tion to the gold , is accounted for by
the fact that the intrinsic valua if
United S atee silver coin ia marly 10
per cent , loss -than its face value ,
while gald is the same in coin or
bullion.- .
Basing an estimate upon the n-t *
obtained , the direct-r assumes that
the amount of domestic bullion used
m the arts and manufacture i daring
the last fiscal year w s about § 5 CCO- ,
000 of gold , and S-4,000 000 of silver.
.and th'tt the total conumr-if > n in all
terms wns about SlO.OOOUOO in g < M ,
* ud S3.CCO 000 in s.lver. While th 3
is simply au approximation , it will
serve to showtowhatn-'aihe precious

ther said that the object of the pros-

trial was to suppress a species of tyr
anny which overwhelmed both rich

reduced Ireland to a state of anarclty.
The attorney-general's voice was very
weak , and his speech wa not as cfljc-

court adjourned the cr wds which
were waiting outside cheered I'aruell

interest in the czio seems to be dimin
