It is said that the manipulation!
of the silver market, which has
been exhausting the industry fo*
thirty years, is the most perfectly
organized process in the world and
one of the most profitable, says the
Boulder County Miner. In its op
eration the heads of the currency
system of the United States and
England participate in outright
manner. Primarily the Silver Pool
has control at the source of a tre
mendous volume of 'silver, as that
of the American Smelting and Re
fining Co., the larger smelters of
Mexico and South America, as well
as a less assured connection with
the Canadian plants. The regular
flow of silver is used, togethc with
government operations, to affect the
relations of supply and demand.
This stream of silver is hoarded
after it has been bought in a period
of low prices, until there is an up
ward trend of price, at which stage
the governments are relied upon to
tome into the market with a de
mand that has been held back Jdur
ing the period of low prices when
the pool was buying.
When the top of the market is
reached and all the accumulated
demand is supplied, the govern
m n(s retire from the market and
every ordinary market is closed,
creating ti e regular and oft-repeat
ed silver slump. This is the pro
cess which has been going on for
years, on which the Silvev Pool se
cures a profit of from 15 to 30 per
cent on its silver purchases over
end above legitimate commissions.
The United States senate declares
it knows nothing of such opera
tions, and the English parliament
no doubt declares equal ignorance,
though of the latter there is some
doubt, arising from the fact that
England and English operators are
the principal beneficiaries.
