present no sign. Mr.. Bsgehot says there must
be such demand, for the effect of the depreci-
alton of silver is to encourage exports from
India, which must le paid for in silver, aud
that, no doubt, must ultimately be true. But
we do not see why it should be presently true
OF all. If more silver Is to be sent from
England to India, 1t must be paid for In goods
of some sort, and the demand for Indian goods
wheat excepted, does not rapidly increase.
Slowly, no doubt, it will increase, as the pur-
chasing power of the sovereign increases, and
Indian goods become cheaper but there Is as
yet scarcely any evidence of such a change, and
1t will certainly not be a rapid one. On the
other hand, the Indian Government at home
is not in the least likely to sell fewer bills.
On the contrary, as the railways and Irrigation
Companies prosper. and the Home Debt In.
c%reases, and civilised appliances become more
needed, it will have to draw larger and larger
sums, and unless it resorts to the old system OF
remitting In goods from Bombay anh Calcutta
1t must sell larger and larger amounts of bills.
There Is no help to be looked for In that dlreo'
ton, or, In our Judgement, in any other, except
the general tendency of everything to adjust
itself to the law that nobody will permanently
sell anything, be 1t his time or bis goods at q
dead loss. The palliative said to be In favour
at the India Office ofceasing to coin rupees can
be of no use, for 1t would only increase the
native inclination to hoard gold instead OF
silver, an inclination already SO pronounced
that, say the Committee, g100, 000,0 900 In gold
have been imported into India and boarded In
the past forty years while the heroic remedy
the adoption of q gold coinage, Is Denounced
by the Committee itself. They say that they
" were simply charged with inquiry" and had
no obligation to discuss remedies, but they do
discuss one remedy In very trenohant fashion.
At least, if this paragraph Is not intended to
show that the introduction of a gold currency
into India would greatly exasperate the fall In
silver, we have no comprehension of lite
meaning:-"That 1t is obvious shat, II effect
should be given to the policy Of substituting
gold for silver, wherever 1t Is feasible, and
giving gold, for the sake of lee advantages In
international commerce, the preference even
among populations whose habits and customs
are in favour of silver, and thus displacing sil.
yer from the position (which 1t has always ocs
cupied) of doing the work of the currency
over at least as large an area as gold no
possible limits could be assigned to tie further
fall IN its valae, a0bSch wowId s1evItady take
place; but your Committee are bound to re-
frain from giving any opinion on the expedIs
ency of such a policy, or the necessity fox Its
adoption" Our Indian friends will have to
put up for some time with an income.tax Of Sc.
In the pound, and the Indian Government
will have to meet, either by fresh taxes or
fresh economies, q loss which is already
$4,000, 900 q year, or the interest on

fall of more than one-ffth. Apart, there

decentralization, which has, owing to new French
demands, been inappreoiable, some permanent
causes must have been at work, and the Com
mittee find that there have been two,-an ex-
traordinary increase in the supply of silver
caused by discoveries of the metal in the
United States, and an extraordinary fall In the
demand consequent on the increase In the
amount of bills upon the Indian Treasury, sold
by the Home Government Of India.
The increase of production is very great.
The Committee, which Is qualified to judge, and
had the assistance of a great number of quail
fed witnesses, find that the annual supply OF
the world, apart from the United States, had
better be taken at about s7,OOO,0O0 a year,

far, therefore, from the German operations

they would, had they stood alone, have had no
effect whatever beyond s~teadying the value,
which would otherwise have been enhanced by
the immense new French demand 1t is most
important to bear this in mind, because the in
formation on this head collected by the Com
mlttee Is quite new, and entirely opposed TO
the popular belief, and suggestive of much new
danger whenever the French purchases cease,
as they must shortly do. The withdrawal of
her custom will be the withdrawal of the larg-
est buyer in the world.
Still, the fall in the value of silver is real,
continuous, and most severe. The prices have

THE SILVER COMMITTEE.
From the Spectator.)

The very clear and able Report Of the Com
mittee ofthe House of Commons appointed to
inquire into the depreciation of Silver does not
contain much to comfort Anglo indians, or any
one else interested in maintaining the price Of
the metal. The Committee was presided over
by Mr.. Goschen, perhaps the first living au-
thority 'on exchanges; it received evidence
from experts Of all countries, and it arrived at
conclusions which, despite the justifable and
necessary caution in The tone Of The Report, are
singularly clear aud definite. Intelligently
read, as they will be when the Report itself,
instead of its summary, has reached the public,
they will be found, we think, TO justify the most
serious fears as yet entertained by the Indian
Government and all whose incomes are DEEPEN
dent on remittances In silver.
Before we state the facts which will perma-
nently affect the price of silver, it is X pedient
to remove one grave popular misrepresentation.
1t Is believed in many quarters that the demo
netisatiOn of silver in many European Countries
has been the cauSa cauSaR$ of the fall, and that
when the Continental States, and more eSpe.
cialIy Germany, have sold their surplus stock
Of silver, and the metal thus released ha5 been
absorbed, the pressure will Immediately cease,
This, however, unfortunately, is not the case.
Germany has no doubt sold quantities Of silver,
replacing. t by gold, and 50 has Italy. where
paper has driven out the coin, and SO has Aus

exported from all three countries in lS72.73.
