Stabilization of Silver
A very pretty controversy is
now raging around the idea of
stabilizing silver, and it is now
getting to a point where the
proponents of one school of
thought are calling those of
another school of thought all
sorts of fancy names, and
where each and everyone is
classing the pet theories of
everyone else as being ridicu
lous. We have never entered j
the lists either for or against j
the stabilization of the metal,
even though we have published
several articles relating to the i
matter; in fact we remarked
editorially sometime ago that J
the chances of putting through
any proposal that would peg I
the price of silver were infin- j
itesimal, and the interesting |
and acrimonious arguments |
that are now going on bear us
out entirely. We have no desire
to aigue the question now, and •
we may as well state definitely i
that we are not in favor of
any move that would positively f
establish the value of silver at
a fixed ratio to gold. This may
Lee ms an absolute necessity |
rometime cr other in the fu
ture; but we doubt if the time
is yet ripe.
On the other hand we have
some sympathetic leanings
toward some method of control
such as that advocated by'
Francis H. Brownell, who was
wise enough to steer clear of
anything that savored of bi
metalism. His proposition in its
final analysis was a proposal
for orderly marketing, and it i
is woith while remarking that
the attention of the industrial
woi lit is being centered on
orderly marketing, and that,
the conference on wheat now ■
going on is simply another at
tempt to find a marketing:
formula that will apply to i
grain.
Most of the attacks that are
I
: being leveled at any attempt
to stabilize silver are based on
the possibility of inflation,
which is somewhat remarkable
when it is remembered that
we are in the midst of a most
complete and drastic process
of deflation. This period was
preceded by a few years of the
greatest inflation the world
has ever seen, which was the
result of factors that have .nev
er been established; but which
.vas most ceitainly n^t the re
mit if fixing the pi ice of sil
/:r,
A number of people have
men busy telling us for some
months that the world has
>een going through a constant
jrocess of intlation and defla
ion for many years. In fact
>ne statistician has shown us
hat we have had fourteen
>ooms and fourteen depres
ions in 110 years, and it is
vorth nothing that all these
leaks and valleys in the curve
>f business conditions and com
nodity prices came and went
vithout being due in any way
o silver. The point of the
rentleman’s argument, which
.ve have just quoted, is that
here must inevitably be an up
urn, which will be just an ev
dence of another process of
nflation, which is exactly
-vhat 100 per cent of the busi
sess men of the world are
oraying and waiting for. In
riew of this it is a little hard
o see why some of our eco
nomists should be so upset at
whatever inflation the stabil
zation cf silver might result
in.
The whole fact of the mat
er is that the world does not
indei stand the economic
ti ncture it has reared, and it
s another fact that a great
deal of the argument we hear
'or or against silver is based
more on self-interest than it
is on the facts of the situa
tion.—From the Canadian Min-,
ing Journal.
