The silver Question In England.
New YORK, April 16.
The " World" believes the silver ques-
ton is coming to the front in England,
and ~revives its last years hopes that the
British Government will shortly be forced
to establish a mint in Cyprus. In 1878
silver was worth 521a pence per ounce in
London. Nine months have passed, and
silver is down to 494 pence. The free
coinage Of silver rupees in British India
has undoubtedly been a blessing to the
people of British India, and never more
so than during the recent periods of fam
inc. 1t is needless to recall accounts from
Bombay, telling how the poer brought
their silver trinkets to be converted into
coin Of the realm. Those who were in
charge of Her Majesty's Government can
not forget the facts; equally is it unneces-
sary to repeat what advantage to British
interests it would be if silver should re-
cover its former current value of 59ls
pence per ounce. The Latin Union is now
no help IN that direction. The whole
world looks to England in this crisis, from
which England is now thought to suffer as
severely as any nation.
