THE SILVER QUESTION
The ''Thunderer's' Views of the Recent Ad-
vance-The Matter of Bi-metalism in
Germany.

LONDON, June 13.-The Times in its finan-
cial article says: One Of the main causes of
the rise in silver was the publication of letter
TO the under secretary of state for India, giving
the views of Lord Odo Russell, British am
bassador to Berlin, in regard to Germany's
coinage policy. The letter confirms the an
nouncsment of the German governments de-
termination not to sell any more silver at
present. The letter further states the German
government has ten million pounds in silver on
hand which will increase during the suspen-
sion of sales, and it is added on authority of
Lord Odo Russell, that it is generally believed
by financial men in Germany that the govern
ment is preparing to introduce and adopt the
double standard as in France. This news may
be quite correct, for the economic vagaries of
the German government in all directions are
unknown quantities, and we may be prepared
what the past few years have revealed. Still it
would be we'll TO receive this news
with caution for more reasons Shan one. The
belief of financial men in Germany is hardly
sufficient ground on which to come to "a con-
clusion that silver will be remonetized forth
with as a whole. However, the tendency of the
extracts contained in the parliamentary paper
where this letter appears, is to show that the
recovery in the value of silver is quite prob
able. That Germany will cease to sell till the
price rises again is also very likely, for the loss
so far has been rather severe. She is, besides,
behind hand with her silver coinage, quite
apart from any question of double standard and
in the end may not have much more to sell.
The production of silver, moreover, has been
far less in proportion to gold than is popularity
supposed and its consumption is greater
| than those who advocate the adoption of
bi-metallism for England have allowed for. All
this fully justifes the opinion that the depre-
citation of silver has been unduly great, but it
by no means follows that an immediate and
| great rise is to take place. The lessons taught
by recent experiments with India council
drafts should not be SO lightly forgotten.
While these drafts are kept small in amount
silver advances in price, but the moment they
increase to anything like the level Of require
ment of the India government, the market
gives way. This state of things must to
some extent, continue, whatever the intentions
i of German government may be, and whatever
the relative production of silver and gold, as
long as the amount of India council demands
to meet home payments nearly equals or ex.
ceeds what the excess of the export trade OF
India can cover; it cannot be too often reiter-
afed that therein lies the true difficulty of the
silver question.
