BIMETALLISM GROWING.
Movement at Chicago That May Result
in an International Conference.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Chicago bankers. mer-
chant princes and manufacturers whose
names are widely known have come out for
international bimetallism. Marshall Field.
Lyman j. Gage, George NJ. Pullman and
fifty others of wealth and Importance in the
financial world have signed a creed with
bimetalism as its basis, and pledged them
selves to promote it's adoption as an inter-
national system. This is the outcome of
conference held short time ago by several
prominent financiers. AT this conference
the following statement of principles was
proposed by committee:
''The committee is formed for the purpose
or promoting the establishment OF interna-
tional bimetallism upon the general plan of
the Latin Union, with broader basis. Those
concerned In the movement. while earnest
iy opposed to free coinage of silver or any
Increased use of silver by this country, in
dependent of international action and agree
ment believe that the repeal of the pur-
fitting and fortunate opportunity for ad-
vancing the cause of international bimetal-
lism. They believe that the day Is not far
distant when the necessities Of commerce
will compel the international use Of silver
as well as Of gold in the currencies through
Franklin H. Head. who was appointed
secretary OF the committee at once set
up to the present time has secured the sig
natures OF over fifty prominent gentlemen.
In addition TO Messrs. Field. Gage and Pull
man the list contains the names of Philip
d. Armour; Franklin Maeveagh, H. H. Por-
ter, John r. Walsh. II. III. Kohlsaat, o. w.
Potter, John DeKoven. j. w. Doans. T. B.
Blackstone, Victor Lawson, William Penn
Nixon. Joseph Medill, Robert T. Lincoln,
: Erskine n. Phelps. Marvin Hughitt, H n.
Higginbotham and many others well known
In the commercial and financial world.
Speaking of the matter tonight, Mr..
Head said: "If England will enter into an
international agreement to accept bi-
metallic system, every other great power
will do the same, and gold will cease to
depreciate; prices will stop falling and pros
perity will be universally restored. If there
is not some kind of a change soon India
will be bankrupt, Argentine Guatemala,
Turkey and Egypt are now. and England
knows it. That is why the time is ripe to
make a move for international bimetallism.
Universal reconciliation Of silver is what
we want. To adopt free coinage in this
country In the absence of such an agree
ment would be fatal to US. Let all nations
adopt it and we shall see an end of the
world wide depression in prices which has
followed the demonetization of silver in
1873. Our committee will soon be organized
and then we will be heard from, possibly in
a memorial to Congress, or in international
monetary conferences"
