Latin Union was formed in 1865
stfor the purpose of fixing the
value and regulating the amount
of silver to be coined each year.
as the means of protecting them
selves against the evils conse-
quent upon the depreciation of
the metal and it's fluctuation in
the market. ;"
The states of the Latin Union
were France, Italy, Belgium and
Switzerland and they adopted
the gold standard in 1878. Fol

way. Sweden and Denmark.
formed a monetary treaty adopt
ing the gold standard. Holland,
which had been on a silver basis
for a number of years, adopted
in 1873 a double standard nomin-
ally, ''at the anomalous ratio of
one to fifteen and five-eighths,"
but soon went over to the gold
standard. The next year Russia
suspended the coinage of silver.
In 1879 Austria Hungary prac-
tically adopted the gold standard.
Here in the United States gold
was practically made the standard
of value in 1884 and legally in
1873. We can all see how the ac-
ton of these various states
would naturally, and inevitably.
lower the price of silver in the
markets of the world. There
has been a large increase in the
production of silver in recent
years. and that has also tended
to a fall in the price of it as COM
pared with gold. Gold has not
so much appreciated, for in the
increasing output of it there is
no reason why it SHOULDN'T
silver has deprecated, and by
reason of the two causes herein
set forth. In 1873 this govern

by becoming large buyer of it;
but it has still gone down, as
wheat has, or any other COM
modify would that is produced
far beyond any demand for it.
Now we believe that silver is
needed as a money coin to circu-
late in the channels of currency
among the nations. 1t needs to
be joined with gold in a way
which will admit cf their work.
ing harmoniously together in the
monetary system. 1t is very
clear. from our survey, that in
ternational action is necessary.
as the monetary equilibrium Of
gold and silver was destroyed
by various nations so they alone
can restore it. It is not in the
power of one nation alone to do
it the populists to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The existing
gold standard must be main
tanned until. by international
agreement, a change can be taken
to so called double standard.
Whether there can be long main
tanned a double standard admits
of question if we look at it histor-
ically.
