the news Our own CIV esnment -
take no stelo to make the present one
. succesk. IL Il has, Is her been done -
secretly that the information has not
leaked out into public ctaDnels. So It
would have been . real ssrl'siss to eur
people II they he'd been Informed that .
Monetary Conference hsd met Inst
April and had been discussing the Sub.
Jet matter which Il had under oonsid-
esation . yesr sgo. Thu second ID
journnsent or postponen,ent Of that
body may be regarded ~ ito death and
burial. The natis'ns IT the earth do not
seem to b. ripe f,r the practical appli-
cation Of the ideas which the Confer
enoe attempted to crystalise into form.
With the exception Of France, no ma
ton In Europe seriously toox heed Of
the matter. Italy played with It. Ger
many gave 1t the cs,ld shoulder and
England laughed ut it. Our own coun-
try, ~ the greatest silver producing M
ton, was deeply interested in the f.
vorsble results Of it, laboss. nessrs.
Evarts, Thurman and Howe were sent
~ the Government - delegates to the
Conference. Although they labored
earnestly for the interests VI the United
States the Conference was simply de.
batting club and It finally adjourned to
meet again lust April.
In the meantime the present admins
tratiOn came into power. This admin
istrati0n 10 hostile 10 silver. President
Arthur - . n"n0metxllist, % b 6ec-
rotary Folgrr. They both favor the 10
peal If the silver coinage act and the
relegxti0n Of the white metal to the
markets Of the world. Hence they took
no interest in this conference, and ig-
ncred it altogether. As Mr.. Evarts
was the only one OF the three delegates
who would or cDuId 10 to Paris to attend
the Conference, there were two to ap-
point. We have not learned that the
appointments were made. It was init
mated that = couple If gentlemen con-
nected with the mission to Paris would
6e reques ed 10 serve, but 70 reliable in
formation upon the point has been
given to the public. Therefore the con-
clusion 10 that the country Of al Others
which should have been represented ut
the Conference 1t it, adjourned session
was without single de egate In attend
anea. The people do not have to look
fhr Nor long to lind the party who b ~
lponsible for Thu condition Of things.
But in the language Of the departed
Tweed, "What are We going to do about
~" Simply nothing, for nothing can
b done. The silver interest h in the
hands Of its enemies. The Democrats
In Cengress will fight for It but they
viii have 10 cope with the whole power
u. the administration besides . silver
hating Republican majority In both
Houses Of Congress. Ev&ry effort will
be made to repeal the silver coinage act.
II II cannot b done BY fhir means it, |
enemies will endeavor to accomplish 1t
By foul means. They once demonetised
The metal by . trick and will, no doubt,
attempt to compass the same end BY an
other. We would not b surprised 1t |
my moment to learn that come bill he'd
,ecome . law which concealed . csatti- !
= worded provision that demonetised
liver. The committees Of both Houses
No In the hands Of Republicans. They
AVE every ID 'antage In tho contest.
Already the attempt he's been made to
lebonetise It BY trick this session,
md was not discovered until the bin
Nd passed the Senate. Although failed
biz time the enemies of silver viii try
again. Should they b - unsuccess.
