NE following an was issued to.day:


The following call was issued to-day:
The national silver committee, appointed by
the first national silver convention, held at st
Louis November, 1889, believing that the ex-
igency has arisen which calls for earnest delib-
Grafton and united action on the part of the
friends of bimetallism throughout the United
States, hereby calls a convention to be known
as the second national silver convention, to be
held at Washington, d. c., May % and q, 1892
one OF the objects being to organize national
bimetallio association or league for the better
promotion OF the cause of free bimetallc
coinage in the United States. This action is
| impened by the manifest determination on the
part OF the gold combination to suppress the
silver issue for at least another decade, and, if
possible, by transmitting existing debts into
gold obligations, and otherwise, to fasten for
ever single gold standard upon the people of
| the United states and thus to perpetuate the
subtle system of robbery that has been carried
on for the past twenty years by means of a
money standard that is constantly increasing in
value. The silver committee, in this crisis, calls
upon the people everywhere, to come forward
and send delegates to this convention. The call
is extended to all who earnestly favor the i'm
mediate restoration OF FREQ bimetalliC cOina 90
in the United States, and each congressional
district is requested to send two delegates, and
each state and territory 70 send two additional
delegates at large. Farmers alliance organiza-
tons, state oranges, Patrons of Husbandry,
knights of Labor and all other Industrial
organizations favorable to the free coinage
of silver are also invited to send ons

invitation is also extended to all citizens who,
by pen or otherwise have been advocates of bi-
metalllsm. Members of congress and Of the
legislatures of the states, who favor the restO-
ration OF the bimetallic standard and the coin
age of silver on the same terms as god are

ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
LONDON, April 29,--A dispatch received
here from the United States stating that
England had iutimated her readiness TO join
a conference to bring about an enlarged use
of silver has caused much surprise in city
circles. No belief Is put in that part OF the
report which states that the basis Of the
conference was formulated here. Many
kilograms Of inquiry have been received by
the London Times, which to-day says 1t is
not easy to see what enlarged usen
can mean. The Times adds: "a decided
majority Of those competent to judge re-
gard the issue of notes based on silver with
great disfayor. A certain amount Of silver
could be employed to increase the intrinsic
value OF our token, currency, which, at the
present price of metal, is overvalued to an
extent considerably greater than necessary
or desirable. but the general sense OF the
community is steaGfastly opposed to any
thing like an attempt to rehabilitate silver
The result of the employment of the Amer
lean treasury as big silver warrant store
house has not been so satisfactory as to en-
courage imitation
The Daily NetUS thinks that such con-
ference would not be likely to attain prao-
tical results. The English delegates. it
says, would have to go into it with their
hands tied. 1t says that Mr.. Goschen,
chancellor Of the exchequer, cannot we'll go
beyond the plan already proposed to in
crease the proportion Of silver held by the
Bank Of England against notes.
