Bankers, Merchants and Manufacturers
Petition the British Government.
LONDON, June 25.-A bime tallic me-
mortal has been signed by members, of
leading bankers, merchants and manu-
facturers doing business in the east.
a synopsis of the document is as fol-
lows:
1t proceeds to relate that instead Of the COM
mercial supremacy of Great Britain and the
financial ascendancy Of London having been
established since the change In the currency
in 1915, it was achieved before then. More
over, up to nearly sixty years after 1916 the
business OF the world was conducted under
the dominating influence OF the bimerallic
system. The experience OF recent years has
shown that the British commercial prosperity
during this period was due to the universal
effect OF the bimetallic law and not to the
operation OF our single standard With the
abandonment OF btmetall1sm our immense adj
vantages disappeared.
The experience OF history, the teaching Of
science and the conclusions Of authority, as
expressed by che unanimous report of The gold
and silver commission, unite in supporting the
opinion that the relative value of the metals
could be maintained under bimetallism The
recent statements on behalf Of the French
government, the resolutions OF the German
reichstag and the state council of the Prus-
sian diet and The emphatic declaration of the
United States in favor of International BIZ
metallism are proofs OF their desire to Join
Great Britain in serious endeavor to
accomplish this end. The memorial
concludes by expressing the hope
that the government will heartily cooperate
with che other powers in such measures as
seem desirable for securing "a fixed parity OF
exchange for the two metals and q more Stable
stand I'd OF value than We now DOSSeSS

Woman's Temperance association, and
singing by the white ribbon choir Of
500 voices. Miss Willard then adj
dressed the meeting. She said in rela-
ton to liquor:
THE places In which intG1f5mts are sold
have become the rendezvous u those classes
which are either the foam OF society or It's
dregs; the do-nothings OF the upper
and neither edges OF the great social
wave. One Of our Chicago mayors
gave as reason why he did not close the sa-
looms on Sunday that they were the traps in
which he was sure to catch criminals Il
bakers shops were the lurking places of the
burglar and the tramp, il the bacest political
plots originated there, we should combine
against the baker FATHER than the publican.

world, with few native pioneers from

tittest to survive, the best adapted to Its
environment, and we are here for the pulling
down OF the liquor system because judged by
It's effects, 1t is the most unat and the least
adapted to that slowly improving environment
which is the outcome of Christianity working
on the minds and bodies of the human race y

The Past Week in Trade Circles-Improye-

New YORK, June 24.-Bradstreets
weekly review says:
''Ihe feature OF the business week is the
customary check to activity in trading in
staple articles OF merchandise, due to the near
approach OF midsummer. with the accompany
ing stock taking in some lines: in addition to
this. perhaps the only thing not pointing to
improvement is the reaction of prices of cot
ton, coal. wheat flour, wheat. corn oats, pork
and lard from previous relative high levels.
In almost all other directions reports on the
business situation and outlook are exception
ally favorable
'Tho more active Pacific coast cities are
almost alone IN presenting distinct features Of
trade each week. San Francisco reports that
hot winds have admittedly affected the Cali
ornia wneat crop, which now will not be
likely to exceed 100000 bushels Fall trade
prospects at Portland Ore, are bright. Ta-
coma announces exports of -four, cotton and
machinery to the orient and lumber to South
Africa, while Seattle has sent q large quantity
of salmon to Mediterranean ports.
SIN the southern states business continues
at about midsummer proportions with i'm
provement in dry goods and groceries at Chat
tan0oga and Atlanta, better feeling in trade

A Bank Looted.

DuLUrH, Mimi, June PA mes
senger came in from Rainy Lake City
Friday night and reported the robbery
of the Bank of Rainy Lake City, on the
Canadian border, by two masked men
who, after holding up and knocking
senseless the cashier and binding the
teller robbed the bank of some $50, 900
and made their escape.
The bank is the only one in Rainy
Lake City, and has been running since
the incorporation of the town. It will
not be materially affected by the rob-
berry, as the proprietors of it. are all
very wealthy men and can replace the
money without even mountaineering
themselves
For some days past several strange
and suspicious looking men have been
hanging around the town and it is be-
lieved that the two who did the work
are part Of an organized gang, as all
have suddenly disappeared.

not not even show Of fight over the reso-.
luton. Nobody raised his voice
against It. When Senator Thurs

arose. Only three or four feeble noe,
