Wednesday, March 4, too$ THE SUMPTER MINER 11 SILVER SHIPMENTS IN J902. Amounted to Over Five Millions Fixed Ratio Imperatively Necessary. As showiuR tho influouco silver tins on iutoruntiouul coinmorce, tho fol lowing tukou from n London, Ehr lnud, ilnanelal pnpor is of lutorest. 'Although tho Emplro poatcrtses in tho east tho nlggest silver initio lu tho world, It is generally lotlng tho control of tho silvor tnnrkot pass from .Loudon to New York. Shipments until now hav.o been almost exclu .nviely made from America to London, and from tbonco to India, aud also to China. A largo part of tho silver was also sent from Atnorcia to Ham burg, and thouco to China. Now di rect shlpraouts aro being mado from San Francisco via Manilla diroct to Shanghai and Calcutta. Broken Hill could supply India and China bettor than any American ports, as it has a shorter routo aud bottor sorvico; aud yet silvor commands a bottor prlco in America thau iu Australia." , A very good argumont in favor of plclug soino ratio of valuo on tho silvor dollar which is used by Orion tal nations to such a largo extent. If tho Uuitod States would hold tho ballauco of that trade, such a ratio should bo fixed. It was tho early fluctuations of sil vor iu tho manipulated London mar ket that lost tho silvor shipping trado to England, aud it was bocitiiho tho prlco of silvor did not iltictiiuto ho early or so often iu tho Now York I market that tho United States got control of direct shipments. Subse quently, however, Now York followed ; -London'H load, aud if somo stability ' -.... ..-.,.... j is not ulvotl to tlin u-liiln mntnl tlinrn i 1,. .. .1.... 1 1 1 1 it IS 11 dUUgor of losing not Ollly tho , shipments of silvor, but also tho trado wo huvo enjoyed with prollt many years with Mexico aud tal nations.

And this was almost exclusively mined lu aud shipped from gold .standard couutrlos which ask silvor using countrios to buy thoir manu factured articles aud morchandiso, not at tho commercial valuo of tho silvor thoy sold to those countrios, but at tho gold standard valuo. Tho wisdom of Moxlco in refusing to adopt tho gold staudard is ap parout in tho following senteuco in Its recent uoto to tho gold standard powors asking for u stability of ox chaugo botwoou gold and silvor couu ceuu couu treos: "Tho adoption by Mexico of n gold currency would catiso tho continued depreciation of an articlo which con stitutes nearly one-half of hor ox ports, aud would lmposo a seriously iuoroat-od domaud upon tho gold stock of tho world." Tho Mexican government fosters her greatest industry, silvor mining. That was ouco a prolitablo industry iu the Unltod States, when silver had .a fixed valuo. Mining and Engineer ing Roview.
