WHAT GOLD ADVOCATE CAN REPLY
Why Has France Gold TO Spare With
Millions of Silver Currency?

New York, Nov. N.-Financiers and OPP
orators are looking forward anxiously to
the report of the secretary of the treasury
and the presidents message, in so far as
they may bear on the currency situation.
Currency reformers are unusually active
at the present time and impress upon the
financial community that the reason gold
continues to go out is because our cur
rency is diluted with deprecated silver
and fiat paper. They forget that France,
which has within the last 20 years accu-
mulated the largest stock of gold the
world has ever saw, contains in its cur
rency vast volume of this so-cslled
deprecated silver and fiat paper. Why
Is 1t then that France accumulates gold
while the United States 10 steadily los
ing it? The answer would seem to lie in
the difference between the economic pei
icies of the two countries.

fine Of not less than fifty nor more
than two hundred and fifty dollars,
