THE BIMETALLIC CONFERENCE.
Smalley, the London correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, has discovered
that the sentiment in favor of blmetal-
lism is spreading in Great Britain rms
indicates that Mr. Smalley is more wide
awake on this subject than formerly.
EMMY declared that England was unani-
mousiy opposed to bimetallism. Few

congress. representing British agrlcultur-
al interests, unanimously declared IN IA

The prospect just now is brighter than
ever before for some sort of an agree
ment among the commercial nations for
the restoration of silver to its place in
the currency of the world. There seems
to be a truly femarka BILE growth of senti-
ment in favor of bimetallism in England,
where the strongest opposition has been
expected; and in Europe it is recognized
that England will exercise the strongest
influence in any conference which may
be called.-Boston Post.
1t is very evident that a campaign of
education must be undertaken against
the delusive teachings of free coinage ad-
vocates. There are many indications
that the time is favorable for such
campaign. The silver men are them
selves divided, and the new American
bimetallic party is made up of a cheap
lot of silver statesmen who have for the
most part been discarded by their con-
stituents.-N. Y. Times.
The character of the delegates chosen
to Congress adds to the confidence felt in
the ultimate success of the proposed mon
etary conference. With the exception Of
Senator Teller. none of the gentlemen IA

Few will care for either metal.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
A policy which reopens abandoned sill

of silver in many countries can never
permanently maintain the value of the
white metal. PARTIES of value have not
been maintained in the past by legisla-
ton. but by the natural friction of supply
and demand. matter very little under

Globe.
Gold furnishes a sound currency when
coined at its market value, but silver
it is used at it's market value. Either
metal used at a fictitious or fiat value
would give an unsound currency. Gold,
being the most stable of the metals, is
usually preferred when the choice is be-
tween one or the other.-Buffalo Express.
The address of the bimetallic party is
much the most reasonable document yet
issued in the interests of free coinage.

The financial question since the organ

The claim that silver has not lost its

passes at par is puerile and ridiculous.
The test of intrinsic value is bullion

more than one-half its purchasing power.
