Mr. President. by my votes here I have expressed my interest in the American silver producer and the American silver miner. but I am not so much concerned about the Asiatic. From the very beginning a great deal of mystery has enshrouded this administrations succession of maneuvers with American money. Only a few days ago the able Senator from Nevada . one of our distinguished envoys to the illfated World Trade Conference last June at London. solemnly informed us that 2.500.000.000 ounces of silver are hoarded in the walls of huts and underground in China. and that probably 5.000.000.000 to 6.000.000.000 ounces of silver are contained in the bracelets. necklaces. earrings. bangles. and other jewelry of the women of India.
