Hoarded Silver Now
Sign of Hard Times
no the Editor of The star.


I notice in The Star of recent date
that the Cambridge Association, Inc,
of Boston, Mass, contends that there
is definite relation between wheat nd
silver prices. The association contends
that when silver declines, the buying
power of wheat-conSuming people of
the Far East is seriously affected; that
China, India, Japa, etc, produce less
than one-tenth of the wheat of the
world and consume more than one
half. also note in The Star that
Virginians have been boarding silver
dollars that merchants and grocexs
are receiving numerous silver dollars ut
Waynesboro, Va, in payment for pur-
chaseS. Virginia merchants state there
are more silver dollars in circulation
than have been known for some time;
that the silver dollars are sign OF
hard times; that they are spent only
when it is actually necessary. They
are hanging the hoarders Of silver In
Russia now. / trust Virginia Will not
hang any of its citizens for boarding
silver dollars, But one wonders why
these Virginians boarded their silver
dollars. agree with the Cambridge
Association, Inc, and venture further,
to wit, that the low price of silver
bullion in London and New York City
tabout IS cents an ounce, the lowest
in the worlds history, has affected
trade. commerce, fiscal and the money

that these conditions will not cllanee

United States Senator Pittnan he's
