Metal VIII be Needed.
The gradual advance in the price
OF Silver is most gratifying. There ie
no reason to believe that there vii
be slump at least for some time to
come. The recent upward tendency
while it has been slow. may be attrib-
uted to very natural causes brought
about by the existing war in the far
east, says the Ores and Metals Of
Denver. The conclusion of the war
regardless of which side is victoriCus
will mean possibly a still further al
vance. While Russian and Japan a'e
gold standard countries. that section
of the world which now forms the
theatre of territorial expansion Ell
terprtse is. and has been for ages
past, a silver using section. The ad-
vent Of so many troops and the vast
sums necessary to maintain an army
in Corea and Manch1ria requires con
stantly increasing purchases Of silver
The Coraans and Chtncase accept
the Mexican dollar with the same
confidence that an American does the
double eagle. Because, forsooth, it
has been the medium of exchange in
that country ever since the dass or
Fmpercr Keen Lung. So much for
tho present situation.
IS to the future, regardless Of which
side wins the war. both Corea ana
Manchuria will be open to the trade
of the world on more liberal terms
and on a plain Ct greater altitv than
ever before, and, being as above STAG
ed, silver using countries, the de-
mand for money made from the white
metal will be greater than ever. The
result, Of course, VIII be the gradual
