: Governor Ireland, of Texas, is not
in favor of stimulating foreign immi
gration. He thinks the State will fill
up rapidly; enough by natural in
crease of population and voluntary
settlement from Europe, and from
other' States of the Union. At the
rate at which tho population of Texas
is now" increasing, there does not
seem to be much need of stimulating
of any kind, but there is point 7 in
what Governor Ireland saysand it
applies as well to. other Southern
States as to ' Texas. In all efforts to
induce immigration there should be

Editor Observer : I have been in
terested in your views upon the sil
ver, question, which is expanding as
t it grows. The difficulty has its root,
without doubt, in the forced and fic
titious value of gold (I use the lan-

produced by an act Qf the British
Parliament on August 31st, 1844,
which reads as follows: -
Act 7 and 8 of Victoria, Chapter 32,
Section 4. "Be it enacted that from
and after the 31st day of August,
1844, all persons shall be entitled to
demand from the Issue Department
of the Bang of England, Bank of
England notes in exchange for gold
bullion at the rate of 3, 17s, and 9
d. per ounce of standard gold."
; This, then, explains the so-called
stability of the gold standard.
This matter has, until recently,
been regarded as a silver question,
pure and simple, but is now, as I said
before, expanding. The people are
already recognizing the fact that its
dire influence will be felt first by the

glad of it, for a small, steady ins
crease which will readily assimilate

more profitable than unwieldy mass

For years Congress has been tinker
ing with the financial question, and
for years, beginning back in the war,
efforts have been made to depreciate
silver and to make ? gold alone the
standard of value, in the interest of
men who controlled the gold market,
and who became the beneficiaries of
anti-silver legislation. Silver was
good enough before the war, it -was
good enough until, under Republican
rule, these money kings got control
i of Congress and of the government,
when they could, dictate and secure
'such legislation as they desired. Then
the war on silver began, and it has
been kept up more or less ever since,.
