rpnx.yrLvER CONFERENCE.
President warner, OF tho Bimetaliic
League, Issues q Call.

. WASHINGTON. July 23.-General A. j.
Warner. president of the American b.
metallic League. has issued the follow
ing address:
The country has now had years ex-
perience under the gold standard policy
since the acts Of 1893 closing the minis
OF silver In the United States. The re-
suits OF this experience are manifest on
every hand in the business depression OF
the country. I'm labor strikes and in the
general discomfort that everywhere pre-
walls.
Congress will soon complete its work.
and the general situation and the pros
poets before the country will then be
fully disclosed. Some state elections. in
volving the election Of United states
senators, have already been entered upon
members Of the House Of the Fifty-fourth
Congress will soon begin.
In view OF these conditions. the execu-
tive committee Of the American Bime-
tallic League has thought II advisable TO
call a conference Of those who believe
that no permanent Improvement in the
condition Of the country can be hoped
for as long as the present gold-standard
policy is pursued, and who favor the
restoration Of the bimetallic
standard In the United States. with the
free coinage Of both gold and silver
AZ the ratio Of IL TO l. TO be held at
to take into consideration the situation
OF the country and decide upon the
policy 10 be pursued 10 brine about the
change in the monetary policy Of the
Government necessary 20 restore pros
perity TO the people.

! ply. and rates are exceptionally easy. The
! quotations for three months bank bills
| Is only SIS per cent; but business has
| been frequently done even below that
| figure. and the short-loan rate is barely
| 10 per cent. Gold is stu coming In from
| abroad. and will continue to come for
| some time yet. although there is con-
| tnental demand for the metal In the
| open market. The shipments from New
York are decidedly falling Off. and there
are hopes that they are now. about to
cease. We are doubtful of that, how
ever. for dstrust is general all over the
Union, and there Is no question at all
that European capitalists are withdraw
ing In very large amounts the money they
usually employ in the states We fear,
therefore, that the present slackening Of
the gold shipments Is only temporary"
The hopes OF the money-lenders have
not been realized. About $4,000 gold
was shipped from New York last week.
and It was reported yesterday that $780,
600 had been engaged for shipment
The explanation Of this increasing flow
seems. in the mind Of the Saturday Re
view, TO be a deep dis,rust Of our nnan-
cial integrity. for the same writer says in
closing some remarks about the tariff:
"The likelihood seems to be. therefore.
that no very liberal measure can be car
ricd through the Senate and that what !
ever IS done IN the matter Of tariff re- !
form VIII not have much influence on |
trade. In any event, the settlement Of |
the tariff question Is now secondary |
matter. What IS really exciting apprehen- |
sion on both sides OF the Atlantic is the |
fear that gold will altogether disappear |
from the United States circulation. and |
That silver will become practically the
standard Of value. Trade is everywhere |
depressed. Employment Is very scarce.
and the Pullman boycott has added TO
he general uneasiness."
And we believe he rightly diagnoses the
ase. We can never have the credit to
which our wealth and character entitle us
s. long as wild men insist on a so-called
rincple in finance as absurd as perpetual
notion.
And the trouble is that n majority OF
ur congressman who know better lack
he courage 10 speak the truth boldly.
Is their duty. and 1t would be greatly
their honor, IL they would come out
efore the people and argue for sound
nance. using the facts and arguments
Mich are apparent. and which they had
iilled into them during the great debate
st fall.
