THE AMERICAN IDEA.
PARIS, Aug. 29.-The following are the
propositions submitted to the monetary con-
ference by the United States delegates, and
of this assembly that it is not desirable that
silver be excluded from free coinage in
Europe and the United States. On the contrary
this assembly believes it TO be desirable that
! an unrestricted coinage of silver and it's use as
money of unlimited legal tender should be
retained where they expand, and as far as
practicable restored where they have ceased to
exist. Second, The use of both gold and silver
as unlimited legal tender money, may be
safely adopted. first by equalizing them at the
| relation fixed by internal agreement, and
second, by granting to each metal relation
fixed, equal terms of coinage and making nc
discrimination between them.
GOLD AND SILVER.
PARIS, Aug. 20.-M. Say, in his address al
the monetary conference yesterday stated that
the policy of France was to await moment
when she could revert to the free mintage OF
silver. The Swiss representative said that
while agreeing with the present expectant atti
tude OF the Latin Union, as described by Say
Switzerland looked forward to the gold stand
ard as the ultimate solution of the question Of
coinage. M. Goschen argued that the free
mintage of silver will be impossible The
formal rejection of the proposal however, is tt
be regretted, as the public would consider it as
condemnation of the monetary use of silver
The object aimed at should be the maintenance
| OF silver as a companion of gold wherever pos
slble, as the universal disuse of silver wouIc
provoke terrible crisis. He stated that az
agreement for a universal gold standard nigh
force England to reconsider the policy o1
maintaining the silver coinage of India intact
| CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Aug. 2O.-A grand council
of the Porte will be held to-day to finally con
