TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1881. The Deeliae of Silver. For many oentnrira peat there has l>een a gradual decline in the value of silver as oompan*d with gobi down to 1875, when an unexampled dcpressxxi began, reaching the lowest point during the following veer. Since then its value has fluctuated, ao that the metal con tained in a silver dollar has been worth in gold only from 85 to 90 cents. It is now worth abont 87 cents.

York The Cliicago fntrr-(>cean t in repro ducing tlio alxive table, says: “Exactly what has occasioned the relative increase in value of gold and the decrease fn value o< silver as compared with gold, it is extremely difficult to say.” The ex planation usually given by writers on the subject, and doubtless the true ex planation, is that it was caused by the discovery of the silver mines m Mexico and Bern by the Spaniards, and the enor mous increase in the world’s stock of silver which followed the owning of those mines. A considerable jx'riod elapsed after America licgan to jsiur its silver wealth upou Europe liefore this consequence was dearly manifested, but it gradually o|x>rated until, from req air ing a little more than eleven ounces of silver to equal in vnhie an ounce of gold, an ounce of gold became worth over fif teen ounces of silver.

This, no doubt, resulted in part from the discovery of immense veins of silver in Nevada and the production therefrom of silver tmllion at * rate never Is'forr WtkoeMml. and in part from the demonotizatiou of silver by Oermauy, followed shortly after by the practical prohibition of its further coinage by the States of the Latin Union. The demonetization of silver by the United States in 1878 had little, if any, influence in depreciating silver. For many wears silver had not lieeu in circu lation here, and the action of the govern ment threw no silver upon the market. If (lermany had been a country without actual silver in circulation, aud using only irredeemable |>a|M'r, it might have de monetised silver in the nominal and theo retical niaiiucr in which that act was per formed here, aud no consequence what ever in the IniUion maikut would have followed.
