THE SILVER QUEsTIoN.-Little did
financiers and political economists an
ficipate a glut Of silver in the money
markets of the world. Everywhere was
seen paper circulation not redeema BILE
in coin. France had her paper currency,
Srrsdeemable; Germany had hers, ire
deemable till the millards Of French
coin came to her hands; America had
hers, and still has it, irredeemable in
coin; and yet silver coinage is going
a-begging through all the marts of CON-
merce. During all this plethora of sill.
yer, fnanciers have continually COM
forted themselves with the idea that what
America and Europe had expelled from
the honored ranks of s'money," would
still be accounted and received as
money among the Asiatic nations, ana
would consequently, by its absorption
there, prevent any serious shock to
commercial values anywhere. But, In
view Of the vast amounts of silver now
being raised from our mines, fnanciers
in both Europe and America are utterly
ScenfoHuded, and are giving expression

Pn relatloh 10 the commerce of ASIA, by
reason OF the conflict between the me-
Eallic coinage OF gold and silver.
On this subject N. Ce,Nascht, a French
publicist of note, thus writes:
"Seduced by the gold 'monometalism,' the
European Continent has ceased to coin silver,
.huu ii had long coined it, and colossal sums are
IN circulation. All this silver is to be called in
and melted down, the more SO as it circulates
as a forced currency for a value it no longer
possesses. All this silver is to be sold, and it
is TO London it will be sent to get gold-to

BILE monetary storm ever known, breaking out
in conquered country, amid population six
times as large as that OF the United Kingdom.
Can England fold her armsp Can she say to
trembling interests, "Be patient; everything
will end by finding its levep3 Un-
fortunately there seems to be only one
remedy for this state Of things, and that
Englishmen are naturally slow to adopt. The
demonetlzing OF the Indian rupee and the adop-
tion in India Of gold instead of a
silver coinage would offer solution of the
difficulty, but at what cost? How much silver
Is in circulation in lndiaP II is estimated

viii be the political effect among the natives
OF IndiaP Altogether, it seems to be ques-
tion beyond the power of political economists
10 solve; and the Nevada miners say that they
can continue to work at profit while silver
retains half its present value, while at the
same time there is a prospect OF new mines be-
ing opened elsewhere; SO that the effect upon
the money market will be that the remedy
which is difficult to apply now, because Of the
enormous loss it would entail, must continue
to grow more and more difficult as time goes
on and additional quantities of silver are
drawn in to the Eastern focus"
We would deem the above quite too
strongly drawn. 1t partakes too much
of the panic that its writer would depre-
cate, but which he can not avoid.
1t must be remembered that the ORR
entail world is vastly immense. 1t is
| one-half or the human race. Its in
dustries are fixed; its economic systems
are the growth of ages, and can not be
changed with the ease and rapidity COM
mon to the Western races; it's ideas of
value have been measured by silver, and
by silver only, since the days Of the
Patriarchs. To overthrow such o sys-
tenn, established for ages among such
races, is not to be the easy achievement
of the hour. The Rupee of India and the
Sycee of China and the Itsebu of Japan,
to say nothing Of the silver Roubles OF
Asiatic Russia, will not be found read
lily giving place to another metallic me-
dunn as money, even though it be our
coinage Of gold, which has never yet
been accounted as money among those
Oriental races.
Granting that this plethora of silver
may stimulate the prices OF Oriental
commodities, as imitation OF any kind
must do, this effect can not be sudden
and immediate; nor can it be exerted to
an indefinite extent, as would occur
from paper imitation. To silver there is
natural limit; to paper there is none.
The natural limit of the silver supply
will compel a gradual increase of circu-
lation which that eastern focus," the
Oriental world, will absorb, until the
equilibrium between silver and gold will
become re-established, and all danger Of
q monetary panic will vanish.

FOOLISH ExPENDHURE.-There are
over two thousand National Banks in
the United States. Some gentlemen in
congress Of an inquiring turn of mind
concluded one day that it would be
convenience to have an a1phabetic list
of all the stockholders in those two
thousand and upwards of our National
Banks. Accordingly resolution was
duly passed in the House, calling upon
the Comptroller OF the Treasury for the
names OF all stockholders to be sent into
the House. For some two months all
the clerical force OF the CSmptrollers
Bureau has been engaged In making out
the list Of names, and are not yet done.
This list will comprise several thousand
pages, and will have to be printed to be
of convenience for reference. This will
require volume of from six hundred to
eight hundred pages; and the whole ex-
pense Of the resolution can not be less
than $25 000 or what use it can be is II
problem passing conjecture. The idea
concerning it was that, therefrom could
be seen how many Congressman and
who were bank stockholders; and
so they could be checkmated
in their votes on bank questions.
Now, we submit that the price to be paid
for this information is vastly in excess
of it's value. And il few congressman
should indeed be found such vile miscre.
ants as to own bank stock, what does
Congress propose to do about il? Will
they be impeached? or expelled ?-for
such high crime and misdemeanor? To
pay $4,000 or 100000 to satisfy sneak
ing kind of curiosity about the private
business affairs of fellow members is
running game too small to pay for the
candle. Moreover, when all that infor-
nation is got and printed and paid for
what Is It good forf Stock may be trans.
fsrred any hour. Consequently new
edition, revised and corrected, would
have to be printed every thirty days, at
the cost of $25, 900 more. The whole thing
is absurd. But that would not matter
so much were the absurdity not SO very
expensive. 1t is a foolish expenditure
Of public money, that both parties in Con-
gress ought to be ashamed of.
