buy household supplies, cigar
ettes, toilet articles, and other
nonfood items. We may even
buy clothing. A study by home

made up an average of almost
120 percent of the consumer’s
purchases in markets.

The National Outlook
BY RALPH ROBEY
KENNEDY’S ACTION
ON SILVER
It is a dramatic and important
action that President Kennedy
has just taken in connection
with silver. Back of it is a ra
ther amazing history.
Silver always has been a
part of our monetary system.
At first it was on a par with
gold, under a bimetallic stan
dard. That did not work and
gradually silver was reduced
to a subsidiary position. This
was done through reducing the
content of silver coins to t h e
point where it was no longer
possible to get as much for the
metal in the market as the face
amount of the coins. For ex
ample, silver has to sell for
$1.29 an ounce in order to get
a dollar for the metal in a sil
ver dollar, and for other sil
ver coins the discrepancy is
even larger.
These changes, of course,
created great political turmoil
and the silver producers were
outraged. Through the years the
Congress has been attentive to
the complaints and pressures of
the silver interests and at var
ious times has passed legisla
tion instructing the U. S.
Treasury to buy silver. One of
these acts was in 1934 and since
then the government has been
buying our domestic production
of silver. The purchase price
started at a little under 65
cents an ounce and was gra
dually increased to 90.5 cents in
1939 It has been held at this
last price since that date.
We currently have slightly
under SSOO million in silver
dollars, and a bit over $1.6 bil
lion in half dollars, quarters
and dimes. The one - and two
dollar paper bills are all silver
certificates. The total of these
is about $1.5 billion. There are
also some five - and ten-dollar
silver certificates, but more
I than nine out of ten bills of this
I size are Federal Reserve notes.
All silver certificates are back
i ed dollar -for - dollar by silver
metal. The difference betw’een
what is required for this back
ing and the total owned by the
! government is called “free sil
ver.” The peak of such free sil
ver was in 1959 at 222 million
ounces. It is now under 25 mil
lion ounces.
This reduction in our holding
of free silver is a reflection of
the fact that consumption of
the metal is now running above
production. The price in t h e
open market, however, has
been held to about 91.5 cents
by the U. S. Treasury’s selling
policy. Quite understandably
that has been annoying to sil
ver producers, and for many
months they have been trying
pectively.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Price
were overnight guests of their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
G. Price, on Saturday.
Mrs. Raymond Mobley and
children. Mickey and Cindy,
returned to their home at El
Cajon, California on Sunday,
December 3, following a

Mr. and Mrs. James H. Mit
chell.
Mrs. Don Abbott and Robin
of Bernona, Virginia will ar
rive this week-end for a holi
day visit with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Whatley Curtis. Mr.
Abbott will join them at a la

to get the Treasury to stop pull
ing down its reserve and per
mit the free market to operate.
It was their contention that
this would result in a higher
silver price and this would lead
to greater production.
The immediate response to
the President’s order was a
spurt in the price of silver to
around one dollar an ounce,
and the price of the securities
of the few silver producing
companies we have in t h i s
country was bid up on the New
York Stock Exchange. This was
a normal reaction and means
little for the long run, although
the price of silver probably will
remain above 95 cents an ounce
and production will increase.
