It is unnecessary now to re-atale what a bad effect it has in Hongkong which is of course the question which chiefly concerne us. There is, however, a tendency while silver is rising, as it has been for some months past, for the advocates of a gold currency to press their case less thoroughly. This is a great mistake, for a temporary rise in the price of silver affects the situation very little and certainly fails to inspire confidence in the security of investments or to encourage trade.
