The New Orleans Picsyune, referring to
the monetary congress brought about BY
our government and 70 be he'd In Paris, has
the following TO say on the subject:
On April 10Th the monetary conference,
assembled ct the invitation of the United
States, will meet in Paris. It now seems
reasonably certain that all the great powers
will be Represented, though, owing TO the
wording Of the invitation, 1t Is probable that
Great Britain and Germany will appear in an
informal manner. The experience of ls'e
years has brought about decided change of
opinion on the question Of bimetalism, and q
restoration Of the double standard Is likely to
result. The vast power Of the United
States and iw influence 10 determin.
ing European policy are clearly
shown BY tho history of this contest
between the advocates of tic two standards
Of value. The action Of congress in remon.
etiziDg silver was bold step, but has proven
q wise one. 1t seemed for time that there
was great danger in adhering to financial
system that the nations of Europe had
either abandoned or were rapidly drifting
away from. The strength end vigor of the
republic have supplemented the silver bill
by turning the flow Of specie from Europe
to America. We have not only retained
the product Of our mines, but have drawn
from the great banks of the old world
$3.50, 900 600 in gold within the last two and
Q half years. This enormous absorption of
the preciou, metals by the American people
has entirely changed tho aspect of this vexed
monetary question, and we look for return
Of the old principles.
The Post-Dispstch seems to be sad and
lonely and POLITICALLY inclined. It rather
gushes over in its lamentations
and the SHRED young man"
who got off the following you ought to be put
upon diet OF spring poetry, with desert
oftummer romances for Il fortnight or three
weeks to cool his fevered brow, tone up bis
system and soothe his pensive heart:
There arc no ''angels in the air" with
voices ringing clear to "lell us that Spring is
near" but the almanacs all agree that this is
the vernal season. Yet the catbird has not
warbled in the thicket, nor has the cherry
blossom tingel the air with its bslsamsc
odor. Last year hyacinths and tulips we're
in bloom on the 9th of April, and now they
are but thrusting their tips through ths
ground. Shakespeare in his sonneis, COM
pares the frgid bosom of his sweetheart to
the "pinks that April bears" and vet no
soulless pink has dared to lift IN its head in
this latitude TO even cheer the heart of its
. unlllAl mother. In ohicago they are still
stand bshind their lod I'" n oomn,nrs
and wait for the coming of
customers. The millner is in despair, for her
t ss si Is;, o., Easter oohhets lies IN
to have any spring trade st ali p' II would
be very, very provoking, indeed to have to
jump from winter into midsummer without
,uv 1"y s,Ag Ws ana e.nsreaI mldness" OF
end OF tho month will he more bslmv than than
the frs. In the cou-sc Of natur" this ought
to be so. Let our merchants to- courage,
The winter has b, lont anl hard one
and family supplies havo been pretty vol
exhausted. A few VAIN DAYS M convert
every store in the city Into a boc.hiye. and
the sunny days will certainly come next
week. Business may DO clogged b. season
Of snow and rain, but when the thsw comes
II will sweep on in it's resistless course.
There! We thought we heard the piping
ola blue bird, but, alas, it was only the
cracking of a sign.
