Our Capacity to Use silver.

In discussing this question we must
consider the capacity OF our people to use
silver and the quantity OF silver which can
come to our mints 1t must bc rcIncn-
bercd that we live in country only par
TALLY developed, and that our people far
surpass any equal number of people in the
world in their power to consume and pro-
duce. Our extensive railroad development
and enormous internal commerce must
also be IT, into consideration Now,
how much IT can come here Not the
coined silv,t Of the world. because almost
all Of II is more valuable at this time in
other lands than 1t will be at our mints
under free coinage II our mints are
opened to free and unlimited coinage ut
the present ratio, merchandise silver can
not come here, because the labor applied to
it has made 1t worth more in the form OF
merchandise than it will nc worth at our
mints We cannot even expect all OF the
annual product OF silver, because India,
China, Japan, Mexico and all the other
silver using countries must satisfy their
annual needs from the annual product
The arts will require a large amount, and
the gold standard countries viii need a
considerable quantity for subsidiary coin
age We will be required to coin only that
which Ia not needed elsewhere, but II we
stand ready to take and utilize all Of it
other nations will be compelled to buy at
the price which We fix. Many fear that
the opening OF our mints will he followed
by the enormous increase in the annual
production of silver. This Is conjecture.
