the market may be. One thinks that the half-erown limit of the dollar is the bottom price; while others fear it may go considerably lower. Our morning contemporary appears to look upon a one-and-sixpenny dollar as a possibility, on the score that silver can be produced even at as low a cost as d. per ounce. This is, we think, taking not only an Over-gloomy but an inaccurate and needlessly extreme view of the sicna- tion. It is true that the repeal of the Sherman Act in the States may cause a farther decline, but the bolders of allver may, if strong enough, hold their stocks. for bolter prices, indeed, the Silver men do not prevent the repeal of the silver-purchasing law. The action of the Indian Government is not altogether a surprise, as the probability of pro- 2/Gtecting the rupee has been more then

once suggested. The disastrous indu ence which such a course must exercis upon the unprotected silver furnisho a conclusive proof, to the advocatee of a fixity of standard by interns- 8.20tional consent, of the necessity for 9.28 2.59

There are, of course, many persons, who are strongly averse to any change; but the flrace have so altered that something must be done, and the Eastern trade (which must be worth something to England) ought now to be considered.
