are in great force at Brussels, and, as fe.
as votes go, may count on having their
own way. The duty OF the British dele

America. Our delegates can tell no story
which could compete with the shifting in
cidents and dissolving views the Ameri-
can currency can present, but more in
struction may be obtained from the record
of system which has stood the test OF
time and experience than from charming
ly diversified accounts of experiments
which have failed, and mistakes not vet
corrected"
