WHY Is CURRENCY" DEPREc1AT1NG!
The 1ise in gold from 1873 on April 9Th
to 14a4 on yesterday, May 18th, is an effect
too remarkable not to call for tho most
thorough scrutiny as to its cause. Tho
Cuban ranors, to which the rise Was in par.
attributed few weeks ago, have proved
false, nrd tho Cuban disturbances to-day
have no threat Of war, and little, il any,
more effect on the value of our securities
or the price Of gold than the murders of
