FREE SILVER LIKELY TO WIN.

rIm silver question Is assuming a
phase favorable 10 the advocates of free
coinage. 1t appears that the white
metal Is bsing exported to Europe, aud
that gold Is coming back In large
quantities. Silver 10 tho value Of

Mt this rate for several weeks, we would
then hear no more OF the 50 cent dol.
lar.
The Sherman act Of July 18th, 1890,
provides Tor the purchase by govern
ment Of 6i,OO0,OOO ounces Of silver
annually, and treasury notes TO be
Issued therefor. These are redcemable
In coin, and the treasury must coin
enough Of silver TO meet them. Ae.
cordlng 10 the latest estimates tho pro.
duoion of silver for last year In the
United States IL less than 90, 100000
ounces. Allowing q certain proportion
Of this output, perhaps about 10 per
cent, for the arts, then there Is
very little left for foreign markets.
The sherman act ahsorbs the
whole native product Of silver In this
country, hence, should the export Of
the metal continue for a few weeks the
main argument Of tho anti-ffeecoinage
men would be- entirely set aside,
In Europe silver calculates on n par
with gold, and Is coined In n ratio Of
l6l 70 l Of the latter. II seems un.
reasonable thon TO Imagine that silver
which Is worth over there sl.3S an
ounce, could bc brought over here aud
sold for sl.2p. Before any trade In
this line could be effectively accom-
pllshed, European nations should
actually reconstruct their coinage
system, aud there Ia very little proba.

Gold IL coming back 10 the United

not be forgotten, that by means Of
