visit Bim-The IEertsoE Divorce Case.
oopyrss. 1884 ~ ne Uan.s rrys.
BFetrS, krril the Rsichstag has not vet
warmed to its work. Not a sitting since the
recess has been well attended. and even In the
debates on the Bourse tax and bimetallisn the
yzost conspicuous speakers talked TO half
Simply benches.
Yesterday was expected to bring with II the
elimination OF the struggle over the Bourse
tas. Many persons gathered in the galleries
in the hope Of witnessing hot contest. but
their hope was vain. While the Govern
nent's supporters came In solid phalanx. the
ranks OF tho Opposition parties showed such
large gaps as to suggest doubts OF their ear
nestness in combating DR.. MiuusPs financial
reforms. Chancellor von Caprivi listened at
tsntiyely to the debate. but did not Join in 1t.
He left the whole onus o; the defence on FRI
day and Saturday TO DR.. MIGUEL and Count
lossdowsky. The Secretary OF the impe-
rial treasury has made many good speech
% since he was lifted from obscuri-
~ into his present high Office q few
M onths ago. On Friday. however. he outdid
himself and compelled even his opponents to
ommepd his readiness and keenness. Herr
Won KardorfY the champion Of silver and high
tariffs, interpellated the Government as to the
work Of the Imperial Currency Commission.
He argued that Germany must either resort
to an exclusively gold currency or rehsbilitats
silver. The flye-mark silver pieces. he said.
had metal value Of only two marks, and the
silver thalers were worth hardly half their face
yalus. Unless the Government intended to re-
store the similarity between the nominal and
real value OF these coins. the present thsler
and FIVE N ark pieces should be withdrawn.
Count Kanitz another AGrarian bimetallist
excited much laughter By saying it was a good
stroke OF business for the Goyernm ent to coin
silver largely when the market value was so
low. The difference between the face and
real values could be well used to pay part OF
the State debt.
Count Posadowsky, In his reply ignored the
theoretical arguments Of the Opposition. He
rspudiated the insinuation that the Govern
ment proposed to mint 22.000.ooo marks In
silver for the profit OF It. The coins to DO
authorized By the bill. he said were needed BIZ
the merchants and traders OF tho empire. and
the Governments decision to satisfy this need
had no bearing whatever upon the alb
stract rights and wrongs Of the prob
lem OF the standards. In his subse-
ouent remarks on international currency re-

prising grasp OF the subject. When the TO.
