for the worlds total mass Of note and

innate to say that the worlds banks
hold only Is per cent In gold with
which to redeem them. In countries
where the monetary stock IL too greatly
diluted with paper both silver and gold
are hidden away when boarding begins
in times OF trouble. But in countries
which are strictly on the gold stand
dard basis IL is only gold that Is
boarded. The exception would be when
a universal currency famine was
feared, but such an experience as that
of the United States in 1907 would be
impossible except where banking and
currency system existed as bad as ours
was then. Hence, large supply OF a
currency like silver, even though 1t Is
inferior to gold. is an
economic advantage in times OF stress,
even In a crisis OF an ordinary war.
II our premises are correct, therefore.
we may reasonably expect 10 see in the
future a general tendency to enlarge
the worlds circulation OF silver
How great will be the demand from
the minis resulting from this must be
a matter Of conjecture.
