UhTEPLOO OR yORHTOWNY

The price of silver in England remains Tor
some weeks about the same, 47l2 pence. The
remarkably low average for this year, which
the quotations thus far fOrcshadow is partly
due To British exchanges with India partly to
the declared change OF policy by the nations
remaining in the Latin Union, aud their failure
to agree with Belgium. which goes out; but
still more to uncertainty as to the course OF
the United States Government. For months,
all discussions of the subject by competent
foreign writer's have turned upon the acton OF
the United States. Ii is believed abroad that
a continuance of silver coinage must result IN
an adoption Of the silver standard by the
United States, and in decentralization OF GOLD
Az gold would cease TO circulate freely IA
money and would become merchandise, a
vastly increased supply of silver would be
required. European nations calculate upon
emp;ylng into this country much of their
surplus silver, and taking from us i'll payment
the gold which would thus be driven out of our
monetary use.
We are at the critical point of a great
industrial and commercial battle. Waterloo
changed the face Of the whole world because
though French valpr had prevailed at almost
every part of the field, British stubborDnesS
held the one point which proved the key of the
situation. When the enrolling tide of French
assault spent itself on that rock Of defence, the
whole French army went to pieces in utter
rout. The commercial and industrial struggle
with Great Britain has thus far been greatly TO
the advantage of this country. Protection has
developed our industries, until they have not
only relieved us largely from dependence upon
Great Britain, and cut of a large share of
Britains most profitable trade, but they even
threaten to crowd British competition from
other markets of the world American locomo-
tiyes in Australia, and American cottpns in
Manchester trouble England moro than the
rivalry of Germany or Belgium. Orr agrcult-
ure has So developed that British farmers have
now been solemnly warned that they cannot
raise wheat IN competition with this country
a great part of the roast beef of old England
now comes from Texas, and the famed British
cbeeses are almost driven from British MAJ kets
by American products. Gold has come hither
in vast amounts The Bank of England is
struggling TO replenish its reserve, while the
enormous accumulation of cash at New York is
so great as to be an annoyance. Our foreign
Sebts have been paid at a rate unprecedented in
the history of nations. To-day British capital
lists in great number look to American

According to the writer of a letter to THE
TRIBUNE, published elsewhere, the colony OF
Scotchmen, who are on their way to America,
to settle at Sarasota Bay in Florida. have made
a most unfortunate choice. There isnO reason,
of course, to doubt Mr.. BrOckett's statements,
and 1t looks therefore as it some one had been
imposing upon the honest Scotchmen. Fortu-
nately it is not too late to save them from their
hard lot. When they reach our shores they
will learn that there are hundreds of excellent
places IN this country where they can find COM
Portable homes and lead lives of peace and
plenty-for being Scotchmen it is certain that
they are industrious and thrifty.
