To the Editor of the "Nowrn-Ciuwa Darcy News."
Si—We have all read Mr. Cummins' letter on the above subject with great intevest—The phenomenal fail in silver is spelling ruination to those who earn their living on a silver basis—Trade at a standstill both import and export, and unless something is done there must be farther grief, As it is impossible for China to go ona gold basis—or even an imaginary one—it is necessary that some scheme should be formed for the resuscitation of silver, At the present moment in the British Isles our 2/6 has under 5 pennyworth of silver in it, Now is the time for our Government to get our silver coins on a better basis and i one half crown to have over 1/- worth of silver in it, At the present low level of silver we could bring our debased coinage back toa proper basis, In all probability other Gayernments would follow suit and be on the market for silver. Then we should nee silver come back to its own again, E. 0. Cusnnno,
