Had there been a decrease of silver in the years succeeding 1873, prices in silver countries would yet probably have remained fairly stable, and helped to keep up gold-prices indirectly through higher gold-prices of silver; but the output of silver considerably increased in those years, and the output of gold materially fell off. No doubt, the early Seventies were years of great prosperity, and more token-coins were required in the West and more rupees absorbed into the Indian currency through expansion of trade;2 but had the French ratio remained intact, we might have seen a rise in both gold-and silver-prices, due to a still larger increase in the production of silver, owing to its usual gold-value.
