SILVER INQUIRY.

SILVER INQUIRY
so PRESENT HOPE or CHANGING THE HOUSE
RtLEs-THE HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE
BILL ~ THE SENATE.
Washington. March 9.-"The POST says: Senator
Allison thinks that the appointment of a commits
sion i'm Germany investigate the silver question
is the most encouraging sign the silver men have
seen for years across the Atlantic When asked if
there is any particular significance I'm the appoint
ment of such a commission just at this time, the
Senator replied:
II should say that there is n great deal OF sig
nitcance in 1t: particularly because the commission
with the exception of one. and perhaps two of Its
members Is composed Of bime,allists-that Is. men
who favor an international agreement respecting
the use and value of silver as money. or course
ne one knows what they will do. but their action
whatever il may be. will have a great influence
upon the future of silver; and. II the commission
should recommend a double standard. its report
would undoubtedly meet with great favor among the
controlling Influences Of the Empire There Is a
large silver party I'm Germany. ana II mas peeh
growing for some time. but thus far the Govern
ment has adhered to a single standard. ana az the
brussels conference stated that 1t had no PURPOSE I"
changing its monetary policy.
"What prompts the appointment or TINS CONFER
ence?"
II think 1t is due to the rapid decline of silver
and the consequent disturbances in exchange w'ch
have undoubtedly utcrfered seriously with th''HorS
that Germany is Just now making To eX'oha h'r
foreign trade No nation In Europe ia making such
efforts to export market as the German
Empire. and the depreciation Of silver naturally
affects the value Of It's commerce with the nations
ana colonies where nothing but SILVER "''"''
And what rcsul, do YOU predic, for IT, ,,o,o ~
