Atlantic. The bimetallisi party I'm the
t nited Kingdom, nov including over 100
members of the house of commons, attach
the greatest value to the debate about TO

We fully recognize, not only that the sup-
port afforded silver by your legisla-
tion during the past twelve years has
bssg,ed 90 protcct thc inaassss@i woaid fsvsa
an acute monetary crisis, but also that the
debates In congress- have served more than
al else to educate our people TO the recog-
Eition Of the important issues involyed.
We believe also that the increased coinage
OF silver contemplated by congress VIII
restore wholly or considerably your coin
age rates, and Thus make an international
settlement Of this complex question COM
paraiively easy. We anticipate. farther,
with much confidence, that the advance in
the price of silver which must follow your
action will both stimulate the export trades
OF your country, and. while tending TO the
prosperity of your agricultural cIasses, will
also assist the manufacturing industries OF
the United Kingdom and the whole body
