ENGLISH WORRY ABOUT SILVER.

The Bank Of England really said nothing, and
did nothing. Sundry other London bankers
condemned it by resolution, as If it had done
something or said something, and In so re-
solving showed that they had quite forgotten
the unanimous resolution by Parliament en-
tirely in line with the course they gratuitously
condemned and declarations by the Chancellor
of the ExcheQuer that the Government would
do all in It's power TO pursue that course. The
storm centre as to anxiety and confusion Of
ideas about silver appears to have moved
across the ocean.
What the governor of the Bank of England
stated was that the bank was prepared to hold
q fifth Of It's bullion reserve in silver, provided
the United States and France should restore
free coinage Of silver, and provided q salts
factory price, both in selling and buying silver,
should be secured. This was quite equivalent
to the other statement that when the Sky
falls everybody will have lark pie. Nothing
could secure satisfactory price for silver TO
q body of bank officials inclined not to be sat
isied, and nothing like the Insignificant pur-
chase Of silver mentioned would have any
weight in inducing the United States and
France to undertake the regulation OF the silver
market for the world. The bullion reserve Of
the Bank Of England Is about S121, 10000, OF
which a fifth would be about S2iOcOOOO in
silver. q purchase to he made once, but not
afterward, unless the total reserve should en-
large, raising the price only while it was being
made, but insuring its collapse afterward be-
cause Of the consequent increased production.
France and the United States are not in the
least inclined to bind themselves to regulate
British exchanges with India for all time to
come, on condition that the Bank Of England
shall buy less than six months silver output Of
American mines.
For ordinary mortals It needed no lengthy ar
cument to show that the governor Of the Bank
Of England had made no statement which there
was the slightest chance Of his ever being asked
10 carry out. But the London bankers pro-
ceeded to fume and get red in the face as il he
had proposed to hold n fifth Of the banks re-
serve in silver, and this they deliberately and
passionately denounced. He who fights with a
man Of straw has one advantage-he may be
REGARDED with some contempt, but will not be
badly wounded. In this instance however, the
London bankers were presumably ignorant
that they were denouncing a course OF action
10 which the Government had pledged Itself
in contingencies far less remote than those
suggested by the governor Of the bank.
1t Is q tempest in teapot and yet 1t Is some
thing else What has been said and done is OF
no earthly consequence except as 1t shows
on the part Of the bank anxiety TO satisfy
somebody, and presumably some Of its gov
erning body, and on the part Of other London
bankers q dawning Of anxiety lest the monetary
necessities Of the Government may force some
modification Of Its financial policy. Both are
Encouraging signs 1t is especially good sign
