Book excerpt: Excerpt from Considerations in Reference to the Establishment of a National School of Mines as a Means of Increasing the Product of Gold and Silver Bullion At no period in our history has there existed a greater necessity for an increase in the production of bullion than at present. The ablest intellects oi the country have been for some time past directed to the subject of our financial condition. Already numerous schemes have been presented to Congress for the maintenance of our credit at hom'e and abroad, and various projects having in view a reduction of the burden of taxation will doubtless be discussed during the present session. Considering the great importance of the mining interest in this connection, it seems singular that the annual decrease in our product of bullion for the last few years has attracted so little attention. According to a statement in the President's message, the production of precious metals in the United States from 1849 to 1857, inclusive, amount to from 1858 to 1860, inclu sive, to 0137, and from 1861 to 1867, inclusive, to making the grand aggregate of products since 1849, This estimate certainly does not exceed the amount actually produced. But the returns of the principal mining States and Territories will show that for several years past there has been a gradual decline.
