Burying the SiIveritcs Deeper.


The annual report of Mr.. Roberts,
the director of the mint, is unusually
interesting. He shows that during the
year 1897 the gold coinage of the world
was s437. 1882, the largest of which
there is record. This was mainly
due to the determination of Russia,
Japan and Austria Hungary to place
themselves on a gold basis. Russia
had been boarding gold for this pur
pose for number of years, and much
of 1t was in the form of bars, which
had to be coined for circulation. This
gigantic boarding had at times pro-
duced stringency in the money mar
kets, which. unless Russia proposes to
accumulate another hoard, is not likely
to occur again.
But there was during 1897 large in
crease of the gold stock of the world
an increase much greater. proportion
ately, than in previous years; and the
Increase promises to be even greater
in the present year. a larger output
being reported from all of the leading
gold fields of the world. This seems to
controvert the assertions of the silver
men who have endeavored to play ON
the anXieties of the people. They have

Uses to continue indefinitely, there was
sufficient gold for the transaction of
the business of the world but with
gold released in Russia, Austria
Hungary and Japan, the fears of the
silverites must fall to the ground.
Another false plea of the silverites is
laid bare by the directors report.
They have vociferously contended that
they wanted silver; that the world
could have a common financial basis.
But the world. with the utmost una
nimity, rejects their basis. Not one en-
lightened country has silver as the
basis of the currency today. The wild
antics of the silverites seem to have
reacted and produced panic even in
those nations which were favorable to
silver. France toyed with it, but
rushed back from the abyss as soon as
it was disclosed to her. Russia could
have borne it with less trouble than
other powers, but she saw the folly of
it in time, and Japan declined to be an
anachronism any longer. Instead of
placing the United States on a common
basis by free silver this country would
be on a different basis from all other
enlightened nations.
