The Secretary of the Treasury has written to
the governments of Switzerland, Italy, France
and Belgium, asking in private way the
views of those different governments as to
the standard of the coin they propose. The
idea is engendered by the fear that those gov
ernments intend to debase silver as much as
they can, and that the convention now in ses-
sion at Brussels will sustain that view almost
unanimously. Perhaps this is what is the
matter with silver quoted as low as it is.
