The number of families, which is in Marmorilom a pretty accurate measure of the number of women, WA 17,210 The number of house was 18,230, which may still more nearly approximate the numer of women. It must be remembered the girle marry very young; and if by women are meant those abova 18 years of age, 18,000 in 1970 is No one could probably deny that there is an ac ample astitate. The ingress in the Ter- advantage in using both metuly as maliums of ritory has not been, grósk since 1870, and the erchange. The quantity of gold and silver immigration bur been largely of minore, an available for des is limited; and the prootienl. that is must be considered extremely doubtful exstasión of either metal from oiraulation limite, if there are at the present time 23,000, women therefore, the sount of cola available for the shore 18 years old in flab.

But the institution of ass have been got up by the exercise of the Oberob OPEN metal as the sole standard of value does not, sanathority, and it should have no more weight M. Cernuschi suppose, necessarily drive the other from circulation. A very large amount of silver circulates in this country; and is is probable that in a poorer State the proportion of silver no cirovlated would become larger, No one, it is trus, íe able to take silver to pur Mint and insist on its coinage, Gorerament itealf determines the amount of silver asía which it ja necessary to issue, and an controls and possibly limits the supply. Though, how eror, the use of silver as coin is limited, it is not true that silver is driven out of circulation. A large quantity of silver is, in other words, absorbed both is what M. Cerogsobi calls “u uno-metallic" as well as in what he terman "bi-metallic" cuereuey..

The institution, than, of a single standard of vaine days not necessarily drive other metals oat of circulation. But deay it remove the pos sibility of another inconveziouce, which may at any moment, rescis from a double standard. Gold and silver are, no doubt, commodities commodities waich vàry very slightly and very slowly in value. But no writer of any repute would deny that both gold and silver have varied pod do vary both in their actual and relative vains. The discovery of America depreciated the valce both of gold and silver, and is usually supposed to have lowered the ralue of silver even more rapidly than than that of gold. It is probable some economists would eny, it is certain that the development of gold digginge in California und „Amtralia bas depreciated the value of gold. The dia covery of a new mine, at ang moment, may again affect the relative values of the t metals as well as their actual values. A writer, however, who desires to establish a bi-metalli money, or a double sisucard of value, maat necessarily ignore nil possibility of any future fastuations. He practically asks the Govern. mante of the world arbit aely to enact that a pound weight of gold shall be always warth 15 pounds in silver. What would be thought of say Governisert whist ventured to say that iron of a certain parity abould always sell at £10 a tor? Tet. there is in principle nothing more abword in fixing the price of iron in gold them in determining once for all the price of silver in gold. The saria. tions in the price of silver ara ac slight that the absurdity would only, in the first instance, be realised by bullion merchants.. M. Clarnonchi, however, thinks that the mere institution of a bi-metallic darrenay would have the effect of giving "utability to the volative value of geld and silver. "The abundant metal is the least demanded. Ita tendency is to be depresiated, whilst the carver metal becomes desrex." Under a bi-metallic law, as every one would be at liberty to pay either in gold and silver, dealers will give ap searching for the metal which is hard to find, and seek for that which is plentiful to have it coined. Not beint de mended, the scarce metal will not rise in price; sad, being domsaded, the one which is alandant dannot fili. Both will end by being taken at a reciprocal value of one kilograme of gold to fifteen and a half of silver," M. Cernuschi, however, overlooks in this argument two very serious considerations. In the first place, gold and silver are not solely used for puzacares of coinge; but large quantities of both motala are annually absorbed by the operations trade à jeweller will not set his, gema in silver beenage the reciproen valor of the two metals is varied; nor will a silversmile suddenly make gold in. stead f silver plate to carry out M. Oernnect's theory of equalizing the demand and supply. Nor is it tane that the cost of any article de penda acely, as hf. Cernusshi arma to think, on the dramand for the supply of it. The alti mate prise of every article, in a state of Tree trade, torna on a cost of production; and if Any now discovery were to diminish, or may failure of supply to increase, the coat of pró duping ether gold or silver, but not both metals, the relative value of both, aven under a bi-m tallic law, would be changed.,
