which grows in Peru, and of another

instability of Silver.

These estimates of value show the Shift
ing, tickle and unstah'e character of the
silver currency 10 these countries. Under
such a system no one could do any business
of great consequence unless he took pains
to post himself from day to day in regard
to the bullion price Of silver 1t would be
like keeping track of our paper currency
before the war. The ratio in Japan is
1913 to l, and in Mexico 1871 to !. and the
fneness is the same in both countries as
in ours On the basis of our silver dollar
the Japanese yen ought to be worth 1912
cents, while its actual value in our money
Of account on the first day of@April. last.
was only $50 cents. With US our silver dol
lar is kept on parity with our gold dollar.
In Mexico and Japan their silver money is
kept on parity with silver bullion--for
that is really their ultimate standard Of
value. 1t rests on no ether basis But here
the question naturally comes up: What
has caused or brought about the great d.
vergence between the coin ratio, or value
of silver, and the commercial ratio, or value
of the same
A plain statement or narrative Of facts
will, to a. large extent, solve the same. In
1870 silver was a legal tender, and admit
ted to free coinage in all the minis Of Eu-
rope, except England, at the ratio Of 151s
to 1. This almost universal free coinage
demand fixed, in the main, the price Of sill
yer. The commercial ratio was, at this
ounce difference from the coin ratio. In
1871 the German Empire, formed from a
number of separate states, each with its
own separate system Of coins and coinage,
having obtained a billion dollars Of war
indemnity, in gold, from France, and being
anxious to establish single, uniform sys-
TEN Of money for the entire Empire,
adopted the single gold Standard sus-
rcrt.nI the coinage Of silver. and, fral Y,
in 1878, entirely demonetized silver.
In 1873 the United States followed In the
wake of Germany, and demonetized silver.
Holland suspended the free coinage of sill
yer, temporarily, the same year, and per-
manently in 1875. In 1875 the Scandinavian
Union, composed of Sweden. Norway and
Denmark, suspended free coinage, demone-
tized silver, and adopted the gold standard
In 1865 France, Belgium, Italy, Switzer-
land and Greece, in order to protect them
selves against the threatened outflow Of
silver, formed themselves into the Latin
Union, and adopted the double standard, at
the ratio Of 151a TO L. This arrangement
remained intact until 1876 when the tide
of silver from Germany and other points
became so strong, and the fall in the price
Of silver became so great, that the Union
was compelled to suspend coinage, since
which time there has practically been no
free coinage Of silver. In the meantime,
Belgium, q member Of the Uuion, had been
