WHAT THEY THINK ? -China: Mail.
China's Currency Reform- If the Republio brings, as it is sincerely to bo hopod, a settled government and a now era of trado and cominores in its wako, the need for silvor on the part of China will be great and this must affect appreciably the price of silvor. A markod riso, in the, price of silver measured in gold will be au opportunity of which we think ladin will not lose sight. It may, however, bo urged that she will not be inclined to disposo of her hoards of silver rupees to China, which would entail on hor in loss of 35% tho exchango of, -ilver rupees at their instal value for gold. Wo have, however, i probadent in the action of Ger- many aftertho- Franco-Prussian War. It will be rememberod that Germany then in her our- ranoy reform called in the silver thaler with amazing rapidity which slie cold at any price she could get too rapidly sho after- wards found-for lior wholesale selling causal a markod fall, in ilo price of silvor.

lished hor gold currency (assisted by ho indemnity of 201 millions sterling from Frauco) though tho chango was hardly effected in
manner very scientific, or oconomic. Sull if a farseeing country like Germany, was pre- pared to pocket a considerable loss in changing her silver standard for a gold one, there is no reason why India under more favourable circumstances should not do likewise. The problem is
most interesting one-one which will bo watched with koonost ttention by statesmen and economists in all parts of the world.

Little Cause for Gloom. The people have at length dir covorod thoir strength, and though rovincial projudicos and dif- ferences may keep them apart fors time, they may be trusted to Boo that the roforms which hoy have been led to expect are brought about in course of time. The criticism of their country- mon and the opinion of foreignera. will prove a corrective to any tendency to lapse from the paths of that democratic form of government which is forashadow. ed for the land, and the fact that practically no finger was raised on behalf of the Manchu dynasty by the people thomsolves proves clearly that the Chinese, if they have not developed, their plans sufficiently to put into words all. that they hope to achieve, know at loast what thoy do not want, so; that it is safe to presume that any

THE GREAT
low constitutional lines in future will be short-lived. Of course, too much is not expected at pro.. sent, and though the new regime. may be far from satisfactory, judged from the constitutional [44 point of view, there seems to be little cause for any gloomy fore. bodings, as those interested in constitutional goverumont seem to be confident in the good inten- tions of the President, the Ad- visory Council, and the other offi cials working with them, espe- cially, too, as events have devolop- ed so far with greater rapidity. and much more smoothly than could have been hoped for by those who are noquainted with the conditions obtaining in China.
