A Universal Gold Standard.

Director of the Mint II. Z. Preston
is said to have predicted that within Is
years every nation i'll tho world will be
using tho gold basis for it's financial
system. He thinks Mexico will be the
next important nation to fall into line
for gold. Fifteen years is a short period
of time with oriental nations, but it
may be sufficient time even for China
to accept the inevitable. AS the dangers
of silver standard become more and
moro apparent nations arc almost fall
ing over each other to get to q gold ba-
sis.
1t is probable that more nations will
adopt the gold standard this year than
have over before adopted it in any one
year. Japan, Salvador, British Hondu-
ras, Costa RiGa and Peru are some of
the countries that have this year either
adopted the gold standard or started the
process of adoption. Nicaragua and In
dia may also join tho gold procession
this year Commenting upon Director
Preston's prediction, the New York
Journal of Commerce says:
closely connected by the ties of COM
merce now to maintain different and es-
pecially differing standards Commerce
has wiped out boundary lines. The
steamship and the telegraph and cent
letter postage we may add, and the in
creasing means of the people of every
country to buy the products Of other
countries and tho increasing demands
of the manufacturers of every land for
materials from other lands have alto
gether brought the nations of the world
into n single market. While their re-
spectivo moneys bore an unchanged re-
lation to each other it only required
little arithmetic to translate prices from
one language to another, but when their
relations toward each other changed
rapidly it began to be evident to all
except few American statesmen that
il was imperative that, whether reduced
to common unit or not, their moneys
must be reduced to common standard"
