THE DRIFT TOWARD GOLD.
Silver nations Are Gradually Coming

Silver nations Are Gradually Coming
to the Gold Standard.
While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict Of last
November. are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest OF international binletalism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard Of gold. Since the APP
pointment OF the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there Is no more probabili-
ty OF those governments returning TO
bimetalism than there is Of their re.
turning to nintlock muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which Is to the effect that
she Is irrcyocably committed to the gold
standard. '-'-.,' u. $500.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency Is observable. The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption Of the gold standard is one of
the maryes Of modern craftsmanship
and marks the people as among the
most sagacious nations Of the earth.
Iaggard China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties we're made. The de-
probation Of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is com
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed 10 the gold
standard.
II We turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary
system and escape the losses entailed
by an inferior and deprecated currency.
A dispatch few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed a
law against the importation Of silver.
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hon
duras. San Salvador, Costa RIGA and
Santo Domingo the gold standard has
been established by law, though q de- |
preciated paper currency prevents the
of gold at present. These

tons who are in touch with European
trade and commerce feel the necessity |
Of having the same monetary system

tage because OF their fuctuatlng and
deprecated home currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
teddy our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
