THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The practical opening of the interna
tional monetary conference took plac,
Thursday at Brussels when the view,
of the American delegates were pre-
sented
IL is more than probable that we who
hope for so much from this conference
will be disappointed by results.
We have seen by the operation of the
silver law of 1890 that it is impossible
for this country alone to maintain even
an approximation TO parity between the
two money metals. Despite our con-
slant purchases Of s., 800, 900 per month
silver to-day is at about its lowest price
for years. The country did not need at
that time greater amount of circulat-
ing medium. 1t is amply stocked now.
Nevertheless it is equally plain that
this country can not maintain one
metal at an unchanging standard. The
adoption of monometallism means the
great appreciation of money values and
the consequent severe hardships which
1t will entail upon the debtor class
The adoption of a free coinage plan by
the conference will be constantly de-
clined, and even Senator Sherman, the
author of the bill, confesses its i'm
portance and impracticability and now
argues for the cessation of further
purchases.
1t should not have escaped the notice
OF our national Legislators at the time
the bill was under discussion that there
were large numbers of mines which
were Improbable, but which would be-
come SO at a slight advance in the price
of silver. The law temporarily raised the
price of the metal and the product of
the new mines flooded the market until
equivalent 10 an almost sure depression
in money values and the consequent
injury to the creditor class. 1t is be-
tween these two plans that the confer
ence must decide, and as it is merely
a deliberative body it will probably ac-
complish nothing more than to record
its opinion or opinions.
Business conditions here, however.
need immediate action upon the exist
ing laws and not records of conference
held abroad.

SERMONS TO ORDER.

a New York paper has discovered n
business-like preacher in Philadelphia
who runs ready-made sermon store.
Sermons are peddled out on every sub
ject and written mp to almost every
possible text. The laity is barred from
participating. If customer wants
something not in stock this labor-saving
shop will produce II at small cost. The
circular from which this information is
CLEANED gives the names of the GUS
toners who deal with the Philadelphia
mart.
Our New York contemporary draws
sigh Of relief because there is not the
name OF a single New York preacher on
the list. IL is at that point that Rhode
Islanders are interested. If ever there
was good field TO draw from for sermons
that would astonish the world and helm
loosen the tight hold of Satan on its
people that place is viewed from
Pawtucket. The preacher of that CITY
who patronized the Pennsylvania nickel
in-the-slot machine could stand i'm his
pulpit and hurl anathemas at Providence
for her saloons, balls and polluted Paw.
tuxet he could cry shame on the
Massachusetts grand jury for keeping
Lizzie Borden in Jail without any evi-
dence against her; he could buck
against the Yale eleven and the 30. 900
foolish people who deserted the church
to see the Thanksgiving day game he
could even reach out 10 Boston and hold
Up his hands and denouuce the growing
popularity Of Z5ia.
All this he could do and vet feel
secure from attack. The harvest is
ripe and this Pawtucket preacher would
be the proper person 10 run the moving
machine. But OH. the laggard! he
goes TO the Philadelphia sermon store
aud buys, mayhap. The Gospel i'm the
Pentateuch,' which eefftes cheap and is
written in bold hand on one side of
the paper.

The details of the recent election show
that there are some Republican wards
IN this city which still seem 10 be
governed either by caprice or by the
prospect Of local aggrandizement. This
is Republican city when the party is
united, and 1t is nearly time that some
members of the party learned that per
sonal jealousies and sulking are not
compatible with true Republicanism.
We claim that the interests Of our
party are identical with the best
interests Of the whole city. That being
true it follows that any one mans
interests are Of slight consequence when
the party success is at stake, and the
man who thinks to the contrary must
have very little patriotism.

Ii would be interesting to Americans
to know whether or not the English
weekly papers really represent English
public opinion and are written up TO the
standard of English intelligence. If so it
is apparent that there is a most woful
need of information among them, espec-
tally regarding American affairs.
The ignorance of the English in this
respect has for long time been mat
ter of common knowledge. but it was
a fair supposition that the leading news
papers of our motherland would be
sufficiently well-informed upon this
election, that SO vitally interested it, to
know the rudimentary facts regarding
it and to be able to make an intelligible
comment upon the result.
1t appears however that of all the
wrongheaded misconceptions the Eng
lish have fostered regarding us, none
have been more absurd, inadequate and
farfetched than the ludicrous attempts
made to account for the Cleveland land
slide of Nov. Sth.
We in America have not yet gained
sufficient confidence to arbitrarily class
ify and assign all the causes that led up
to the wonderful slaughter of the inno-
cents. We are cropping about in the fog
that precedes the impending Cleveland
cumulus and stumble against facts and
indications now and again that begin to
range themselves into some semblance
of sanity and lucidity. BY and by we
hope to cipher the problem out, prove it
backwards, and apply the quotient to
the formulation of a new proposition in
political algebra for the Democrats 10
attempt IN 1896.
The English leader writers never have
to grope about for facts relative to
American affairs. They have a system
of solving all American riddles fax more
and satisfactorily TO them
selves. Instead of letting ;r represent
the time-honored unknown quantity.
they begin, Let r represent America as
a British colony. Everything is then
easy. Assume, tacitly, that America ex- |
lists only for the enrichment of Eng
land and it is very easy to explain all
questions that arise.
England wants America to adopt her
system of free trade simply that she
may thereby be enabled to continue TO
rob America of her own market and
keep her out of the markets of the
world, which is exactly what will hap
pen if the Mckinley tariff is materially
or replaced 10y system such
