The Monetary Conference.

London, May IA Paris dispatch says
Mes:rs. Horton and Cernusch have with-
drawn their proposals, sa the committee
decided to leave 81 questions of theory TO
general discussion. The committee has
adopted the following programme, submitted
by Vrolik, Dutch delegate:
Have the dminution and great
oscillations in value of silver, which
have occurred especially in late
years, been inj urious to COM
merce and consequently 10 general prosperl-
w? Is it desirable for tho ratio of value
between the two metals TO have greater
fxity?
2. Are the phenomena indicated in the
first part of the foregoing question to be
attributed to the increase in the production
of silver or 10 legislative measures?
3. Is il probable or not that If large group
of states accords free and unlimited coinage
of legal pieces Of both metals, having full
paving power in uniform proportion for gold
and silver, contained In the monetary unit OF
each metal, Il stability, if not absolute, at
least very substantial, will be obtained In the
relative value ofthose metals?
4 In case the preceding question is
