MIR. UMsTED ON SILVER.

In discussing the silver situation on
February 18th, The Tribune said that
now was an excellent time for the na.
hons TO get together and put silver on
better footing. We referred to the
tremendous awakening Of China, and
the almost unlimited ,opport unity pre-
sented there to introduce silver as \
circulating medium, pointing out that
even with the circulation of as low 2
Unit as $40 in silver per capita. there
would be an opening for four billion
dollars, or at the present price of silver
something like seven billion ounces OF
silver
We sec that Mr. James s. n. Umsted
discusses the silver question, as stated
IN the Eastern press. ''from a new an.
gle. Mr.. Umsted is widely known in
American financial circles as an an.
thorty on monetary subjects and as
one of the best Informed writer's on
silver IN this country. The ''new an
gle from which he discusses the sill
Forum is precisely the same as that
used bv The Tribune nearly q month
ago. He refers to 'hina s new coinage
possibility under its proposed scheme
for a uniform and general silver cur
rency, coupled with the great eXpan.
sion in the industrial consumption of
the white metal, Mr.. Umsted points
out that this may lead within thc next
ten wears to marked increase in the
demand for silver, and that this in
crease will become an important econ.
omic concern for all the nations.
Mr.. Umsted. in reckoning the de
mands Of China for currency purposes.
takes a much smaller unit than We.
considering 81 per capita in place Of
SO, as we suggested; and from this
standard he deduces the conclusion that
China would take immediately some
250000,000 ounces of silver for coinage
purposes.
1t appears that Africa also is com.
ing into the silver market. since the
British colonial secretary last Decem-
bcr appointed a committee to consider
the question Of distinctive silver coiu-
age for the West African colonies and
protectorstes. The rulers Of British
India are now considering the prohs.
bile development Of the silver qucstiou
with a view TO the creation Of n much
heavier demand for silver fog miutiue
purposes than is now felt
The Director of the L. :. Mint csti-
mates that the industrial consumption
Of silver for 1910 amounted TO l42..
1lS.50O ounces. an increase over the
estimated consumption of 1909 of IS.
0O0.00o ounces. and over that Of 1908
Of 5l.OU00OO ounces With rapid
increase like this in the industrial con.
sumption of silver. il appears tina,

duction is taken in the Industrial and
