lament moved in the house OF commons
to-day that tho British government should
use its influence to bring about tho reas-
semblinR of the international monetary
conference. with tho object of finding IL
remedy for the evils attendant upon the
divergence of values between gold and sill

sole remedy for existing difficulties grow
ing OFT OF the currency problem. Samuel
Montague, liberal member Of parliament,
VOL known as member of the banking
house of Samuel Montague d. Co., earnestly
supported Si- Henry's motion. Other BIZ
metallists also addressed tho house in be-
half OF tho proposition.
Gladstone. i'll reply. reminded the house
that the International monetary conference
met at the initiative Of the United States
and 1t would be an unprecedented proceed

said England is not alone among civilized
nations i'll her determination to adhere to
the present monetary system. Half of the
powers represented at the conference had
shown that they leaned toward bi-metnl-

the shadow of an indication of what change
they hre prepared to make. In conclusion
Gladstone made an elaborate exposition OF
the benefits of mono metallism and the
dangers of bi-metallism

OF the conference was due to the absence of

should reconvene the conference and sub
NIT definite proposals the British govern
eminent would be happy to send back her
delegates. but would not be expected to
provide scheme for the more extensive

ton was eventnally rejected by a vote of

was received with loud liberal cheers.
