THE SILVER OONTRO VERSY.
SILVER HAS FALLEN EVERYWHERE.

SILVER HAS FALLEN EVERYWHERE.
ITS BULLION PRICE COMPARED WITH THE PRICES
OF OTHER COMMODITIES.
70 the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR: The precious metals are not Of themselves
money any than patent fiber paper at the mill
is lega[tender currency. They are simply the raw
material out of which the best varieties of money
made. The value of gold and silver therefore,
may be entirely distinct from the purchasing power
of the coin of any gwen country as the value of the
paper Oh which greenback dollT is printed Is diff
ferent from the purchasing power OF the dollar
itself. IL my good friend "G" will keep this simple
proposition always in mind when discussing the
question whether the purchasing power of silver has
fallen OF not in the countries where it has not been
demonetized, think he will reach very different
conclusions from those which he has announced in
his last two letters published in THB TRIBUNE
The purchasing power of rupee in India, i'll the
domestic commerce of the people of that country,
may may not be tho same as the value of the sill
ver of which it is made and to ascertain whether
silver has fallen or not in India. we must compare
its price bullion mot the purchasing power of any
particular coins) with the prices of other things.
Now, G.' admits that the valuc of silver (bulon)
has fallen in England and the United States and in
other countries where its has been restricted Ivy
law but seems 20 deny that similar decline has oc-
currcd in India and other Eastern countries, and
points TO my admission that silver currency in India,
when used in domestic transactions, will probably
purchase about much of ordinary commodities es
formerly to prove the assertion that there is at least
one market in the world, and that a very Important
one, in which the value of silver has not fallen.
This is the fatal in G'sr whole argument.
The only way to ascertain whether silver has fallen
in India not is to compare its bullion price at diff
ferent times with the prices of other commodities.
] have statistics this point but everybody
knows that the nexorable laws governing commerce
make it impossible for commodity easily trans
portable az silver bullion to fall in value very much
lower in one country than i'll another as long as
trade between the two is unrestricted. That de-
probation i'm the value of silver in India has actu
ally occurred is abundantly proved by the quota
tions Of exchange on London in Bt ngal and Bombay
The discount lace )r(ing TO the British method of
reckoning exchange We should call II preiuirun
as great 80 per cent small amounts during the
panic III July, and it has invariably followed Tie
fluctuations in the London quItat5ns OF silver ever
since 1872. In addition this We have the oonclu-
sions Of Mr.. Goschcn's committee that silver has
fallen all over the world AMI the fact of the crisis in
India, which the Viccroy in council officially an
nounces has been caused by the fall in the value of
sIlveT there. H. l. ".
