THE HONOSONG DISTERBARY, HONGKONG, 505
I think and I believe I am exprassing? the opinion of my colleagues as woll-thers. are only two ways of satisfactorily settling the silver question. One is leaving it absolutely to find its own level according to
demand; the other is the free coinage of silver on a basis to be mutually agreed upon by the pariete countries of the world principally interested, say cot under 15 parts of silver, or over 24 parts of silver to ons of gold. The commerce of the world cannot be carried on with gold alone, and the sooner the Western nations realize this fact the better. As Sir David Barbour said in a recent specch,. We have not by any means seen the last of the battle of the standards. I do not think I am wrong when I predict the commerce of the silver-using countries will icgrease is a for greater ratio than that of the gold-using unes, Silver is the currency of the East, it will remain so, notwithstanding any attempts that may be made to place the curredey in British Eastern dependencies upon a gold basis."
