Low Silver and World Trade
{ Skilling's Mining Review)

Hardly month passes with out bringing fresh evidence from foreign countries, partic- ularly from China, India, Mex ico and Latin America, of the rapid progress in these coun- tries of the home manufact- ure of many articles former ly purchased from the United States. The newspapers and the authorities in these coun- tries constantly point out to their people that the low price of silver in which wages are paid really confers a bonus on the home manufacture in the Orient and in some Latin American countries because their American and English competitors must still produce goods on relatively high price level with high wages, whereas the low relative price level of these silver using countries is now so far below what it was two years ago that it confers a bonus on the Far Eastern manufacturer of 50 per cent. to 100 per cent. in some cases.
 Thus, due to the unfortunate experiment of attempting to put Oriental and some Latin Amer ican countries on a gold basis before at least 80 per cent. of their domestic business is on an adequate banking basis in which gold could be used in the usual way as basis of central bank credit, the gold has now been forced into their curfencies, the confidence in silver weakened, it's use threat ened, and the price of silver driven down. As the price of silver has declined the purchas- ing power of these countries from abroad has proportion ately declined. However, as re- gards their purchases from each other at home, these people have been but little af- fected for prices of home pro-

ducts have not as yet risen in China and Latin America and 8 small amount of gold buys a large amount of silver and therefore large amount of labor. As regards home manu- facture, the tables are largely turned in their favor due to this great advantage that now little gold buys a large amount of silver and therefore wages, which are paid in sil- yer. And the gold is also steadily advancing in price as it's monetary use increases in the face of its probable de- cline in production. In chang ing world trade channels this low price of silver is more im- portant than our high tariff which, however, angers all nat ions.
 We are probably witnessing the growth of a natural trade alliance between these coun- tries which may in the end result in a consortium of sil- Ver-using countries which Rus sia may naturally join. After these low cost countries have captured their own markets through cheap labor, there re- mains the threat to our own higher priced markets. It is true that the American import CTS will welcome a chance to buy all manner of goods very ;heaply from foreign countries, out this will be at the expense )f the American producers and wage earners. To be fully en- ployed and reasonably pros porous, America must sell. .hus, the western gold basis countries which have not yet developed banking system, hoping thus, by a short cut, to prevent the wide fluctuations )f exchange, have permanent y injured not only the foreign
 rade of the United tSates and England, thus increasing un- employment here, but still worse, they have also laid the oasis for further competition here from the cheap labor of he Orient.

From the Hyder Alaska Miner
 July 6, 1921

Whoever makes the weather certainly handed Hyder a lemon for the 4th of July eel ebration and a good one. But there was celebration and a good one. Bert Kergin and Har- ry Fowler brought over in the Wake about 25 of the liveliest boys that Anyox could pro- duce, a big contingent came down from the Premier; the smaller properties were de- serted; the whole of Stewart moved over, and all defied the weather man to dampen their ardor. Two rattling good ball games were played, but the home boys became so com pletely rattled that the Anyox players got away with both of them. The score stood ' to 3 in the first game and 21-O in the second game. The third event was a shooting contest with splattering guns between Stewart and Hyder, which was won by the Stewart team. The celebration ended with a dance in Pioneer Hall.
