my wares can be left out OF doors over
night and quite unguarded without fear
that any body will carry them away" sai d
a dealer. "They are things that nobody
wants-tombsIones."
/ am always delighted when I see
Providence mans opinion sought after
by people of other places, therefore / AXE
peculiar pleasure In clipping the follow
Ing from the New York Press, President
X. B. Andrews OF Brown university,
Rhode Island. one of the delegates to the
International Monetary conference aud
well known writer aud authority on
monetary questions, discussed with IA
Press reporter yesterday the silver and
general financial problem. Among other
things he said II am most emphatically
In favor OF bimetallism. We shall have
no monetary peace until IL is intro
duced. No one nation has yet
dared to undertake 1t ana doubt IL
any one nation can succeed alone.
IL we could unite with England. France
and Germany there would be little diiii-
Guilty, in my opiuion, in bringing about
bimetallism. My own conviction Is thai
II the United States aud England would
unite other nations would be forced into
international agreement What we
should do is to repeal the Sherman silver
purchasing law. This, In my opinion,
would force England TO rscognizs our
monetary system and to abandon
her plan OF establishing gold
standard in India. The fall In the price
OF silver leads TO an appreciation In
gold. The preciousness OF gold means the
fall in the general prices. The prize OF
silver has fallen to the gold price of ar
ticles. Gold is more pr, cious today than
ever bef re. If we discard silver gold will
appreciate. People are beginning to see
that the present system tends to fall in
prices. This is unfortunate and IL has
been the C ief cause of our business stag
nation. Meanwhile. rici men are hold
lug on TO securities and will have TO
keep them as long as the base
of money produces low prices.
AS long as we continue the purchase of
silver England will not help us in an in
ternatiouaI agreement. Tie present ratio
Of 10 to will drive out our gold. II we
stop the purchase of silver gold will
depreciate. aud not until then. The
repeal bill ought to pass Becau.e
of the widespread belief in the
West and South that the president
lsm, II seems that there is no hope under
the present administration Of accomplish
ing anything. The arguments of some Of
the members Of congress contain the
logic of gold monometallists. Mr.. Cleve-
lands message had that ring. His logic
and that OF senators is anti-silver rather
than against the Sherman law"

bagged the game and ran across the path
