Bi-metali>m has found an advocate in
Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin. In the
course OF an interview regarding the dis

declared that the adoption Of bi-metalism
was a matter of imperative necessity to
save Irish tenants from inevitable ruin. Ii

question by the leaders of the Irish parlia-
mentary! party. Ii things go ON a.

ducts. The main cau>e he believes, i the
continuous rise in the value oil gold. The
archbishop concluded by expressing
the hope that the conference at Brussels
would succeed in solving the monetary
problem.

There was a shipment of $500, DOC
of gold to Europe OH Saturday. This
departure of gold, however, does not
cover the loss in our exports of agri.
cultural products, SO that in spite Of
the Mckinley act the balance of trade
has been against us for a few months.
If the protective tariff cannot prevent
imports, increase wages, stop strikes,
raise and lower prices at the same
time, and give to the farmer either a
home or a foreign market, what can
it do?
