Any one who has ever done business
in silver country will admit that the
inconvenience of the silver standard
cannot be exaE gerated. The Ameri-
can owners Of the Mexican Central
railroad, for instance, have seen their
earnings in Mexican money increase,
while their receipts in gold greatly di-
minished. Any one of the many
Americans doing business in Buenos
Ayres, where an inflated paper cur
rency is in use, could tell tale of the
hardship to business in consequence of
the violent fluctuations of exchange. If
business men have no criterion by
which to regulate their transactions
which extend into the future, they will
either reduce the volume of their bust
ness to a minimum, or else they will
become mere spectators in exchange,
with all the possible evils which attend
the gambling spirit. Let us suppose
the case of an American me reliant un-
der free silver policy. He buys
line of goods abroad at a stipulated
price III gold. Having done this, il is
necessary for him to take his American
silver and buy gold with which to make
his payment. He has to take great
risks as regards possible fluctuations in
the price of gold, or, in the language of
trade, in the price of exchange. He
takes his chance of losing great deal
of money, and, as compensation, he
advances the prices of his commodities
to the consumers on this side of the
water
CREDITS.
We think we must have made it
clear that, as a standard of value, money
plays very important part. Before
closing, it should be added that as a
circulating medium metallic money has
largely lost its function, and an attempt
to reinvest it with that quality would
be as foolish as to attempt to introduce
once more the fashion of wearing ar
NOR. An fundamentally has come
into existence, about which the an
cent and medieval knew practically
nothing. We refer to credit. The
business of the world to-day is done on
credit. When we speak of money we
far oftener mean checks, drafts, bills of
exchange, etc, than we do gold or sill
yer or greenbacks or bank notes. The
world has progressed from barter to
barter-frOm very simple form of
barter, some thousands of years ago, to
very complicated form of barter to-
day. Sound credit cannot exist unless
there is certainty that the very mod
crate amount of money which is needed
to settle balances is the best money in
the world. That is the trouble with
the United States to-day. Every in
telligent business man fears that the
reserve money of the country, on which
all our business transactions are predi-
Gated, will no longer be gold, which is
the most stable of all the commodities
ever used to facilitate transactions be-
tween man and man, and nation and
ation.-United States Investor.
