Spain and Bimetallism.

Washington, July 5. Senior
Dupuy de Lone, the Spanish min
ister, says Spain will take part in
he next international monetary
conference, as she is greatly inter
ested in the solution Of the bimet-
allie question. Spain uses both
cold and silver, the latter being
coined at fixed ratio with gold,
and there is also an issue of paper
currency. Only two spanish colo
MES, Porto Rico and the Phillipp-
inc islands, use silver almost eXclu-
sively. For these reasons SPANS
policy is definitely favorable to-
ward the use of,both metals, and
her interests, particularly in the
colonies. are towards an enlarged
use Of silver.
The belief is expressed by some
Of the best posted representatives
Of foreign countries that any inter
national monetary conference
agreement should embody certain
essential features. To assure it;
power. ii must secure the adher
ance of the United States. and a
least one of the three great money
countries of Europe, Great Britain
France or Germany and the adher
ance Of as many lesser countries a.
possible.
1t should also inclnde the fea
tire Of the Latin ion, WHEREBY
the amount of silver to be coineC
BY each member of the union i
definitely fixed in advance in accor
dance with its needs. The opin
ion is expressed that these features
would tend to make an information
al agreement very effective an(
dominant on the monetary condl
tons of the world.
