LONDON, June ga bimetallic memor.
ial has been signed by numbers OF leading
bankers, merchants and manufacturers
doing business in the cast. 1t insists that
instead Of the commercial supremacy of
Great Britain and the financial ascend

since the change the currency in 1916 it
was achieved before then, and that up to
nearly sixty years after 1916 tho business
of the world was conducted under the
dominating influence Of the bimetallic
system.
The experience of recent years has
shown, they Say, that the British COM
mercial prosperity during this period was
due to the universal eff set Of the bimet-

single standard. With the abandonment
Of bimetallism England's immense cd.
vantAges disappeared. In conclusion they
urge the government to join heartily in

For this reason there is more contest

followed from Washington by ex-Con-

have a majority of the delegates, but the
arrival of Senator Blackburn inspired the
silver men SO that they are equally con-
fident. There are SO many uninstructed
delegates that it will be impossible to es-
timate the strength OF the gold and silver
men before the temporary organization is
made, and then it will he seen whether
the resolutions are to be for free coinage
