send delegates to the conference, and advises
the withdrawal of the English representatives
in that body, as there is no expectation in
any case of England's agreeing
to anything which will affect her adhesion
to the single gold standard. The writer de-
clares the basis of the conference is fundamen-
tally erroneous in conception of the functions
of the government in regard to metallic cur
rency and opposed to the traditional princi-
Piles of the English currency system, and he
views the presence of English delegates in the
congress as most unfortunate and calculated
to injure the reputation of the English gov
ernment in dealing with metallic currency,
which is simply to guarantee its weight and
fineness, following the wishes of its subjects
in the selection of metal and in money, offer
ing to regulate the supply of the metal itself.
