GERMANY MAY FOOL THEM.

The boom" II we may properly use
the word in that connection, which the
movement for an international monetary
convention to revive silver as a money
metal has lately received, started with
the recent action of Germany IN behalf
of bimetalllsm II was that most prob
ably. which caused the Fifty-third Con-
gress in its expiring hours TO pass an act
providing FOR the appointment of repre-
sentatives on behalf of this country to
the monetary conference whenever 1t
should be called.
The world has not heretofore known
lust how German finances stood in their
relation to silver, for the reason that the
Reichsbank has always given out It's
holdings of silver in a lump, without
difrerentiating the silver from the gold.
1t has now changed this custom, and in
its annual statement for 1894 it states
what part~of its holding is gold and
what part is silver.
gold as follows:
In bars and coin .............,... Sl05,600,O00
In German coin .................... 73UW,0O0
Total gold Sl1S6vO,UJO
And In silver:
Thaler pieces ..................,... SoSJO,VOO
Other coins ....................... u,i0O,O00
Total silver x5UJ0,OO0
Now of total of s25S, 600. 900 of the pre-
cious metals, 20 per cent. consisted OF
gold and 80 per cent of silver. This may
be taken as fair expression of the esti-
mate of German bankers as TO the
proper status of silver, and 1t is not very
encouraging TO those who think that
Germany will take part in a movement
Tor establishing irttrnGtior al free coinage
OF silver.
