ally IN the war, the United states
government was compelled to inter-
fere and set an export price on sill
yer at $1.O1 1-S an ounce, which was
higher than Great Britain had ever
permitted 1t to go, but not as high
as American mine owners liked.
Then. as the demand for the metal
became acute. and 1t was also needed
to meet our own adverse trade bal
ance with India. congress passed what
is known as the Pittman act, author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
melt down 35O,OOO.OO0 silver dollars
held In the vaults of the treasury and
to sell the bullion. The silver certifi,
Gates outstanding against these dol
lars were to be previously retired
and their place In the circulation to
be taken by notes issued by the fed
eral reserve banks, secured by spe-
cial deposits of United States. treas
ury certificates. . E
This kept the price of silver steady
for the period Of the war, but upon
the signing of the armistice the ex-
port restriction was removed. Imme-
diately the price of silver started
soaring until last December 1t reached
the unprecedented figure Of $1.33 an
ounce. Everybody began melting
down his silver heirlooms for bullion,
which sold at a tremendous profit.
Silver plate and ornaments bought in
the years 1904 and 1905 when silver
was selling at from SO to 60 cents an
ounce, suddenly became worth twice
as much. 1t looked as If whole for
tunes were to be made in old spoons
and knives and forks But In a short
time the silver bubble burst.
The Flood Of Bullion.
For Europe also had plenty Of sill
yer heirlooms and coins. and every
country, including Germany, started
flooding the market with bullion from
these sources. Then came the JAP
anese panic, which hit the market
hard, because a good deal Of trade
through China and India is handled
by Japan. The price of silver once
more declined until it reached 81.
Here the United States government
once more interfered and guaranteed
1t to remain at this figure by agree
ing to buy. the silver necessary to re-
place the dollars taken from the
treasury during the war.
Thus, today there are two prices
for sflver-one in this country, and
one for the rest of the world, set by
the same old group Of brokers in Lon
don. London no loLser controls the
price for America silver, however,
which it must buy at a loss.
With this government guaranty, the
production of silver is now profitable
enough to cause the old mines to re-
sumo operation and new sources to
be sought. Throughout Utah and
Nevada whole villages. which have
slept peacefully for decades are COM
ing back to life with renewed vitality.
