Low Price ol Silver Stimulate Gold Mining Tho gradual depreciation iu tho price of silvor to ita present value of 4H.l4 oeuts per ounce has done much to stimulate gold mining. Tho sauguiuo oue who loug hoped for hotter prices have loug sluce given up that hope, and nothing now is anticipated for fdlver in the way of better prices. Mexico and China are Htrivlng to make Home arrangement which will be advantageous to them. In the proposition recently submitted to tho United States they practically ask that Mexico, and other countries desiring to do so, shall Ihhuo a new currency ratio of about 32 to 1, this currency to be maintained at a statod valuo by the governments Interested controlling the quantity of currency coined and abolishing free coinage. These coins shall be accepted for public debts at gold parity, a gold oxchango fund being maintained at tho capitals of tho countries outoring into tho agroemout. Tho h! Ivor dollar of tho United Statse, though containing only about .17 coutH worth of silvor, is maintain ed in this maimer. Of courao, in governmental transactions, silvor is not exchangeable for gold, excepting at bullion rates. Tho United StatoH Is only requested to givo Ita moral Influence to tho plan, and not to enter into it further than that. Wore Mexico, China, Slam and other couutrlcH at prenont giving serious consideration to thoir monetary HyHtenm to adopt tho gold standad, It Ih difllcult to nay what effect it would have on tho mouy markets of the world. It Ih doubtful if thoro Is at proHont mifllelont gold in oxistonco to make UiIh practially possible, and lu view of UiIh fact, tho proponed plan of Mexico and China Hooms to have much to recommend It.
