"The bene fit to domestic business of a re vival of silver mining haa been greatly exaggerated.

Little can be added to the subsidiary currency circulation; and the metallic re serves of the banks are already overflowing, he added. "Governmental purchase of much silver will, it is claimed, pro duce inflation. The country is al ready over supplied with ammuni tion for inflation," he declared. "Should the administration wish, it could rival the post-war use in German prices, without adding one cent to the existing hoards of gold and silver. Silver leg.slaUon is not necessary for inflation; it would however, disorganize monetary plana already uncertain enough. There is not much to be gained by gathering more silver into the money stocks of the world. More would be gained by dropping the metal altogether from monetary use, especially as standard money," he concluded.
