Silver And Foreign Trade
It is said that if there is one
subject on which people disa
gree more .'than on gold, it is
s'-lver. So that may be one of
the reasons why so many em
inent monetary authorities dis
agree with Senator Pittman’s
claim that President Roose
velt’s ratification .of the Lon
don silver agreement will
greatly increase our exports to
the silver-using countries and
particularly the Orient.
Professor Kammerer, whose
record as a monetary advisor
.to numerous countries should
give his statements somewhat
greater weight than those of
the Nevada senator in financial
questions, declares it will have
little effect in increasing our
export trade and openly de
rides the move as purely po
litical.
Other money authorities also
contend that our action in rais
ing the price of silver will not
in the lea^t degree affect the
value of foreign silver cur
rency, for the reason that the
new price of 64.5 cent? per
ounce offered by the govern
ment applies only to newly
mined domestic silver. For
eign silver, therefore, either
coin or bullion, cannot be sold
here at a greater price than
the regular market price,
which at present is slightly
under 46 cents per ounce.
Foreign money coming to the
United States to. purchase
goods must first purchase:
American dollars to pay for
them; and, as the value of for
eign silver is regulated entire
ly by the prevailing market
price, not by the President’s
new price, it is obvious that a
given amount iof foreign silver
Will not purchase a greater
number of dollars. In other
words, the money of silver-us
ing countries brought to the
United States has no greater
market value than before the
President’s silver-raising pro
clamation and therefore will
not purchase one rota more
goods than before.
Therefore there is no. incen
tive whatever for the silver-us
ing countries to purchase any
abnormal quantities of our
goods because there is no ad
vantage to be gained either in
price or quantity.
On the contrary, the Dies
bill, passed recently by the
House of Representatives,
would give an increased value
to foreign silver brought here
to purchase surplus agricultur
al commodities, for the reason
that it provides for the accept
ance of such silver at a price
in excess of the world silver
price.
Just for Fun
--O...
Wild oats may not yield a
good harvest, but look at the
fun you have sowing them.
An optimist has more fun
hoping than a pessimist has in
having.
Eddie Haddon says woman’s
dress now-a-days certainly
gives man the freedom of the
sees.
Everything is fcolish now
days. Even the dollar hasn’t
aa much sense as it used to
have.
Stone Age Man: “Quick!
Quick! Your mother-in-law is
being attacked by a dinosaur
us.”
“What do I care what hap
pens to a dinosaurus?”
Doc. Kennedy: “Why make
all that noise when I have not
even touched your tooth with
the forceps. Don't you know
I'm a painless dentist?”
Customer: “Maybe you are
painless, but I’m not!”
“I see your son and daughter
awaiting us on the porch,” said
the guest as they approached
the house.
“No,” said the host, “The
girl in the short frock is my
mioither, and the young fellow
in the knickers is my wife.”
