The decline in silver is leading topic
abroad. the London Times says it seems
evident that silver, as standard of value,
has had its day in Europe. 1t is estimated
that Germany, in view of the proposed de-
monetization of silver there, has thrown
$500, 100000 Of silver on the market, and
Japan $3.50, 900 more by substituting
gold as the national standard of currency. Il
appears further that Holland and veden and
Norway have ceased to use silver, and that
the transfer of Englsnd's cotton supply from
India to the Uuited States has cut off An an
nual demand of $4,000, 900 of silver, which
paid for East India cotton.
Germany, alarmed at the depreciation of
silver. it is now reported in the cable dis
patches contemplites the postponement of
the period for its decentralization to obyiate a
loss of several millions of marks. As silver
has been discredited by the increased com.
mercial activity Of the world, the probability
is that with the progress of that activity the
ldiscredit must increase. Russia, India and
China will probably follow France, Germany
and Japan, and If such should prove the case
it is likely that twenty years hence the gold
value of silver will be less than half its nras.
