AMERICANS ARE NEVER WHIPPED
London Times Comments on Ralfour and
His Speech on BiInetaIIism

London, Sept. 2.-An editorial in the
Times this morning comments upon the
grave blow which A. J. Balfours state
ment struck at the hopes Of the Ger
man and American bimetallists. MI.
Balfour, it will be remembered, stated
in the hous of commons that he did
not believe that an fnterna tionaI BIZ
metallic conference would result in an
agreement on a ratio. The Times saws:
The American bimetallists are made
Of sterner stuff than the Germans and
will therefore continue to carry the
country with them. There seems no
chance that each political party will
allow itself to fall under the sway of
the silver men. The recent publicity of
the aims Of the bjmetallic party here
has been a revelation and a warning.
We trust the trade revival now in prog
ress will complete the cure, that we
shall hear less and less about bimetal-
lism from any quarter.''
