Private advices received in this
city J esterday afternoon, direct from
London, state that the British coun
ell for India have decided to at once
put a stop to the shipments Of sill
yer into India by placing thereon
an import duty.
The London market for silver, fol-
lowing this announcement, became
entirely demoralized and 10 sales
were made. In other words, the
quotation Of 60 cents per ounce was
purely nominal. 1t meant nothing
to the trade.
The amount of the proposed duty
is not yet known, but it is expected
to be high enough to effect the pur-
pose in view. 1t now becomes a
question whether the long frontier
at the north Of India can be so pol
iced as to prevent smuggling on a
Wholesale plan.

AS the levying of an import duty
is the last factor in the British cam
paign against silver, it signifies the
beginning of the end. Should it
fail of its purpose, or result in a
widespread panic in India and other
silver-using countries, the friends
of bimetallism will be in position
to demand an instant change of base,
which may take the form of an in
ternational conference on England's
invitation.
Notwithstanding advices from
London settlements for ore were
made as usual at the local smelters,
on the basis Of so cents per ounce,

yer News.

Respecting free coinage, Mr..
Bland says that the conduct of
England is of no account. His
opinion is that the United States
can produce on an Independent pol
icy and that it is folly to wait until
Europe acts. That is the view by
which the free-coinage senators
were guided during the weeks of
the extra session. 1t is a sound
opinion, yet it will be resisted as
long as the goldbug clique is able to
control federal administration and
sway congress through the instrum-
etnality which patronage furnishes.

Free Coinage of Silver.

In response to frequent inquiries
as to what constitutes free coinage
Of silver" thefollowing official dhni-
ton is reproduced:
Prior to 1873 a coinage charge Of
one-half a cent on each piece coined
was imposed, as well as charge for
the alloy it was necessary to use to
reduce the bullion to standard met
al. If 800 ounces OF pure silver
were deposited at the mint it would
require 5000 ounces Of copper for
alloy, which, at , cents an ounce.
would cost Sill. fla charge of
one-half cent were imposed it would
be 1923, which would make the to-
tai charges on the 500 ounces $4.34.
Ifsilver is a legal tender and silver
dollars are good enough for the com.
mon American citizen, why not com
pei Eastern goldbugs to accept sill
yer dollars or nothing2
