Rothschild Thinks That a Double
Standard Is Out OF the
Question.
He Proposes a Plan for the Annual
Purchase of Considerable
Silver.
lie Sets forth Several Reasons why Silver
Should Not Iso Made Equal
to Gold.

BRussELs, Nov 2s. s.--Rothschild's pro-
posas were submitted to the conference
this afternoon. They cover eleven printed
octave pages. Rothschild argues at great
length TINT bi-metalism in Great Britain
is absolutely impossible, and suggests tho
question which arises, whether it is not
possible to the extend silver gener-
ally and by this means to assist in
checking further fall in its value?
Rothschild said he did not claim
that his proposals would prove final solu-
tion of the question, but that they would
prove palliative. Summed up his pro-
posals are, that America continue the pur-
ohases of silver and that European powers
buy an amount equal to 100000 sterling
year for five years at ADD. II silver
should rise above that price the purchases
are to be Immediately suspended.
Rothschild said, in part, that he felt that
gold standard in England was the only
p ,ssible one, and il they consider that her
whole commerce and large part of that of
other countries is carried on by bills of ex-
change on London. which are naturally
payable in eold it must be admitted that
the world generally transacts business on a
gold basis and that double standard, with
the exception of very modified form, does
not exist even in those countries protesting
to pay in either metal. Whatever interna-
tional agreement may be made. or whatever
ratio may be chosen, gold alone will always
be the favorable medium for settling large
debts or making large remittanoes.
Germany's action in 1878 and the action
of Italy, Russia and Austria in amassing
gold is conclusive proof of the appreciation
of great European countries of the advant-
age of a gold standard. Apart from other
considerations, it seemed to him that
universal arrangement of the currency
question is impossible, as the wealth and
sources of revenues of no two countries
are alike. 1t would be impossible to carry
on the trade of the world on sound, stable
basis, if the debtor was allowed the option
of paying in whichever currency suited him.
Rothschiid thought some such arrange
ment ss he proposed would give general sat
lsfaction, the gold market would also be
relieved as only Eu opean appeals will be
made thereto for a long time. and as South
Africa is increasing her output of gold. such
an arrangement as suggested would enable
Russia and Australia to plete purchases
without unduly interfering with the money
market liz the conference adjourns with
ont complishinR anv definite result it will
cause fall in silver frightful to contem-
plate. twill cause a monetary panic, added
Rothschild, of which it is impossible to tell
the far-spreading affects.
