We present the readers OF the Jour

Our CURRENCY

The people of the United States, though
often urged and tempted, have never
seriously contemplated the recognition of any
other money than gold and silver-and cur
rency directly convertible into them They
have not done so, they will not do so, under
any necessity less pressing than that of des-
perate war. The one special requisite for the
completion of our monetary system is the
fixing of the relative values of silver and
gold, The large use of silver as the money
of account among Asiatlc nations, taken in
connection with the increasing commerce of
the world, gives the weightiest reasons for an
international agreement in the premises.
Our Government should not cease to urge
this measure until a common standard of
value shall be reached and established-a
standard that shall enable the United States
to use the silver from its mines
as an auxiliary to gold in settling
the balances of Commercial exchange.
