GOLD AND SILVER.
183
The figures which, partly by repeated official publication, are now most generally credited are shown in the following table, which includes the estimates for the fiscal years from 1848 to 1880 inclusive. This table is made the basis of the second and most important item in the recapit­ulation, with the exception of the year 1880, for which the census fig­ures are substituted.
Estimate of the production of gold and silver from 1848 to 1880 inclusive, fiscal years, as generally accepted in official reports.
Statistics of the production are now, as they formerly were and always should have been, prepared for calendar years. For the six months from July 1, 1880, to December 31, 1880, half of the product of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881, as reported by the Director of the Mint, has been assumed. For the calendar years 1881 and 1882 the Mint figures are again quoted. For the first six months of 1883 the estimate is made by assuming, on the authority of Mr. Preston, the rate of pro­duction in 1882 to have been maintained during the first half of 1883. It is not probable that the complete statistics for 1883 will show this estimate to be very seriously in error.
Summing up the material thus briefly sketched, the following results are reached:
