TIE COMM CONFERENCE.

One Of the consequences of the late election
is overlooked by many. The International Sil-
yer Conference is about 20 meet in Europe al
the invitation Of the United States. There was
st!ong rCa>, II 10 h1Ic that the prc,cnt Admin
,tration, if sustained by the people in the
election this year. would have been able to
submit con.i lc' atiOas which would have
weighed very strongly with representatives. Of
foreign POvCr' in favor of some monetary adj
ius.mcnt 1t is an open secret that there has
been some understanding on the subject, at
least enough 10 give the Pre- idont much hope
that an arrangement might be effected. But
II was said by TIE TRIBUNE repeatedly during
the campaign that vote Of the people adverse
to the present Administration would deprive
it cf all authority t. represent the permanent
will OF the people Of this country in respect to
the silver question, and therefore, would prob
ably render The approaching conference Of no
effect
There are already indications in foreign dis
patches that this is likely to be the result.
Ore diSpltch states that the conference will
orCn with an invitation t. the American 'le-
gates 10 set forth what proposals they have to
make, and that the conference will then APP
point a committee 10 consider and report upon
those proposals. But this would be the straight
road TO get nothing done. The American dele
gates are compelled, in the nature Of the case
to hear what other Powers are able and willing
to do before committing Themselves to any
proposition whatever. 1t is well understood
that the United States is ready and anxious
to do whatever can be safely done to put an
end to the monetary disturbances which have
50 unfavorably affected commercial nations
But it is not reasonable to suppose that other
Powers are ready to join the United States in
opening their minis 20 free coinage Of silver
on any agreed ratio, so long as there is cause
TO believe that this country will take upon it.
